Reach the Mini-Boss

Go west, south, south, east, east, and north until you reach the room that has two holes in the floor and a locked door in the north wall. Go through that locked door.

Mini-Boss: Cue Ball

Cue Ball is only vulnerable from behind. You can use the Roc's Feather to jump over Cue Ball and hit it from behind. Try charging up a Spin Attack before you jump. Otherwise, if you are having trouble with that strategy, use the Pegasus Boots to dash around the room toward Cue Ball's back. You can hold the D-Pad while holding the Pegasus Boots button to have more control over your movement. When you hit Cue Ball, it might start going in the opposite direction, or it might continue to go in the same direction. After you hit Cue Ball enough times, it dies, leaving a fairy and a warp spot.

Go north to the next room.

Get the Flippers

Quickly go up to enter the room before the blocks move together and block the path. If you don't make it in time, just leave the room and go back in.

Go to the lever in the upper-right corner of the room. In the Game Boy version, equip the Power Bracelet. Hold the lever, then go down to pull the lever downward. This will make the blocks move apart.

When the lever won't go any farther, use the Pegasus Boots to run to the west exit before the blocks close. The Spark is hard to avoid, so just do your best.

In the next room, kill the red Zols while avoiding the fireballs. When the Zols are gone, the fireballs stop, and the doors open. Open the treasure chest to get the Flippers. Now you can swim. While swimming, you can press B to dive and press A to swim more quickly for a moment.

Get 50 Rupees

You can optionally get 50 rupees. However, if you're playing the Game Boy version and are close to 999 rupees, be aware that you can only hold up to 999 rupees, so you might want to go back to Mabe Village to buy the bow from the shop so you have room for more rupees.

Go back the way you came until you are at the stairs that led to the underground area. Push the bottom-left block down, then go south, then use the Pegasus Boots and Roc's Feather to jump over the gap. Go south again.

Swim to the treasure chest and open it to get 50 rupees.

If you did it correctly, stairs will appear. Go down the stairs.

Go down the ladder and approach the Thwomp to make it fall, then go past it while it moves upward. In the next area, do the same thing. When you are to the left of the second Thwomp, equip the Roc's Feather and quickly jump to the small ladder, climb up, and jump on top of the Thwomp. Then jump from the top of the Thwomp to the upper-left platform. Then go up the ladder to the next room.

Reach the Nightmare

If you didn't get the rupees, go north from the chest where you got the Nightmare's Key, then drop down the ledge and go east to find a button in front of a door. If you did get the rupees, go south to reach the button in front of the door. Swim to the button and step on it to open the north door. Go through.

Jump to get the flying hearts, then use your key to unlock the key block. If you didn't open the chest to the right, you can go south, then swim north and open the chest. After that, you can go to the two blocks near the chest and push the lower block to the left to reach the stairs.

Angler Fish

Angler Fish will swim upward and downward. Small Angler Fishes will slowly swim across the room as well. You can kill them with your sword. Sometimes Angler Fish will charge forward and hit the wall, making ceiling tiles fall. Swim out of the way of the ceiling tiles to avoid getting hurt by them. Hit the light on Angler Fish's head to hurt it. Swing your sword rapidly to do a lot of damage at once.

After Angler Fish dies, take the Heart Container that it drops, then go back up to the previous room, and climb up the ladder. Go north from that room.

Walk up to the instrument to get the Surf Harp.
