Gotta go fast.

And also collect a stick.

"Dear Zelda,

We need to get a dog when I come home. I was forced, against my will, to return the chain chomp by an evil monkey. At least I'll always have this picture.

After that, I found a man who lives with frogs. He said he used to work at the castle and hid five golden leaves before he had to flee. Should I find my way into the castle and retrieve them, I'll get a reward. That evil monkey wanted my bananas, but he built a bridge to the castle to thank me. They left a stick behind, so I hope it wasn't critical to the structural integrity of the bridge.

Inside and around Kanalet castle are five off white leaves. Some are guarded by monsters, hidden in walls, and found in puzzles.
One is from the worm in the holes.
Another by the bird in the tree.
A third appears when you kill everyone in the first room.
The next is behind the left relief.
Finally, throw a put against the door and kill the omnicrone inside.

I don't know why I wrote this out, but I'm trying to paint you a picture. The owl keeps telling me to be more specific. Is he reading these letters?

Anyway, Richard, after going through a winding cave and a maze of plants, gave me the key to the next dungeon around the lake.

Key Cavern was annoying. There are a million pitfalls, tanks, and elusive monsters down here. I had to throw a pot against the door to get in, which won't get annoying fast. As the name suggests, there are a lot of keys here. In fact, I even got an extra one before I found the instrument. The path is very winding, long, and filled with hidden stuff. I stumbled on the mid boss and accidentally killed him. Behind him was another pair of Pegasus Boots. I thought Hyrule was the only country that had them? How'd they get here? These boots allow me to run as fast as before, but I have to show you a trick when I get back. Combine the Roc's Wing with them, and I can fly! Almost...

The rest of this place is a confusing mess of fake walls and destructible crystals the Pegasus Boots can break. In the back is the Slime Eye. It's actually a ring that's actually two rings. I had to break them into two pieces before they became weak. Each time I attacked one, they'd jump into the air and cause an earthquake. This hurt my knees, so prepare an ice bath when I get back. But a well timed jump left them open to another attack. They were guarding the Sea Lily Bell. A voice told me to seek the waterfall, but the owl wants me to visit the desert. I can't swim and hate sand because it's coarse and gets everywhere, so I'm gonna go to bed.
