Intermission (4-5)

 First thing's first, if you don't have the White Sword yet, you should get it now. The Lost Woods aren't a maze anymore, and those Tornados disappeared, so getting it should be a cinch. Anyway, there's one more place our Raft can take us... northwestern Hyrule. Make your way all the way over to screen H-4 and sail to new adventures.
There's a shop at G-1 that sells some good goods. Hopefully you have 150 Rupees. Buy yourself a Magic Shield and some Meat. If you don't have enough for both, now would be a good time to go Rupee gathering.
Time to make your way to Dungeon 5. At screen H-2, you'll see a lone tomb. Walk straight up from the tombstone and you'll walk right through the wall.
It's Dungeon 5! Also, if the time on the clock is between :10 and :34, a man will be here selling Blue Water of Life for 10 Rupees a bottle. Go ahead and buy two... that will give you a Red Water of Life for only 20 Rupees!
