The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past/Skull Woods

'The gloomy Skull Woods is described by many as a maze of bones, trees, and gaping holes. Thick foliage and huge skulls on the forest floor cause many adventurers to retreat quickly. Those who stay discover that the skulls and holes lead to Mothula's underground dwelling.'

Points of interest
The Skull Woods are situated north of the Village of Outcasts and west of Death Mountain. Just south of the woods, at the edge of the village, a Fortune Teller tells explorers of special points of interest in the Light and Dark Worlds. East of the woods, a Death Mountain cave leads to a valuable and hard to reach item. The rest of the region is dominated by the dark forest and Mothula's underground lair.

Item Shop
The shop which could be found between the mountain and the woods offers the same items for the same prices as many other shops in the Dark World. If you need Bombs, Life Potion, or a first level Shield, you can get those items here.

Cave
A sign outside of the cave in this region reads "I'll give a Piece of Heart to the person who wears the Cape." The sign's author refers to the Magic Cap, which makes those who wear it invisible, and the Piece of Heart found above the cave entrance. Inside the cave, the way to the Piece of Heart is blocked by a huge Bumper. After grappling over a large gap, only an adventurer wearing the Magic Cape can slip past the Bumper and capture the prize.

Fortune Teller
A mystic man set up shop on the northern boundary of the Village of Outcasts. For a few handfuls of Rupees, this wise wizard will spin tales of special places and hidden treasures. His Crystal Ball knows of many secrets in the Light and Dark Worlds.

Skull Dungeon
The passages of Skull Dungeon are connected by a network of dungeon entrances on the forest floor. These underground tunnels are loaded with dangerous traps and villainous creatures. When explorers made it to the end of each passage, they would have to temporarily leave the dungeon and look for another entrance. The entrance to the final chamber is located in the northwestern corner of the woods. Each entrance to the dungeon is marked by a letter on the Skull Woods map, and the location of the entrance within the dungeon is indicated on the Skull Dungeon map.
