The confusion of Shy Guys

And the tedium of switching items way too often while constantly being told how to do so...

"Dear Zelda,

Bottle Grotto was a confusing area filled with masked men. They tried to mimic my actions, and it threw me off. I'd get close and swing my sword, but it did nothing. But then I realized their mask couldn't protect their back. It's unsettling to turn your back on an enemy, but a good spinning sword made quick work of them.

The rest of this place tested my jumping ability. There are a few rooms that are pitch black, but I'm sure you're wondering why they call it Bottle Grove. Well, there are a lot of pots down here. I know, I know, but there's something about these Koholint pots that I can't break. Or...couldn't. Deep in this cavern, protected by a bomb thrower, is the Power Bracelet. It's no Golden Gauntlet, but it works. I can lift clay again!

But there's one more curiosity here. Zelda, I don't like bunnies anymore. I know I've been one, but I'll never transform again.

At the bottom was a fun guy. Another bottle crept towards me, and a genie was inside! I couldn't harm him until he spent all his magic missing me, and I could throw his pot into the wall. Once that broke, the sword sliced him to pieces. He was guarding the Conch Tuba!

A voice told me where to go next, but I wanted to explore more around the island. I found quite a few of these special seashells. I also stumbled upon a comfy bed, but I probably shouldn't have. I had a bad nightmare, but I think it made me stronger. Once I come home, there's some magic we should study: Warp Nodes. I can teleport around the island in a few places, but can I remember where they are? More importantly... Zelda, I found bombs.

I also stumbled upon a giant egg, but I'll have to investigate that and Key Cavern once I figure out this castle in the middle of the island.

The tedium of having to switch from your shield/jump is gonna be a huge loss of points.
