[edit] Task 1: Getting the Ball and Chain

[edit] The Pumpkin

Once you enter the mansion, defeat the poe in the central foyer, then proceed north to where Yeta waits. She gives you a map and asks you to find the key for her. She marks a location on your map and opens a door. Go through, and approach the soup Yeto is making and scoop it up (if you have an empty bottle) to get some Simple Soup.

North of the kitchen, you'll find a block-sliding puzzle. Push the closest block westeast, then push the other block south, westeast, and south again to slide it onto the switch. Go through the now unbarred door and transform into a wolf. Dig under the crack in the wall to enter the courtyard, then defeat the White Wolfos. After they are gone, dig up a chest in the snow to find a small key. Advance westeast through the door, then north.

In the next room, defeat the three Mini Freezards to go westeast. In that room, approach the door seperating you from the chest to prompt two Chilfos to appear. Attack them with jump attacks to defeat them, then move onward to the chest to collect the Ordon Pumpkin.

[edit] Cheesy Goodness

Travel south, back to the kitchen, and talk to Yeto to get him to add the pumpkin to the soup. Scoop the Good Soup up (dump out your Simple Soup if you still have it) so that you can enjoy it in a tight spot. Afterwards, speak to Yeta and she will open another door and mark another location on your map. Proceed through that door and head toward the northeastwest corner. In that room, pick up the cannonball and navigate through the maze to reach the cannon. Put the ball in and a bomb in after angling it south to destroy a Freezard, allowing you to continue.

In the room to the south of the maze is…another maze! Walk along the beams while avoiding the white icy parts, hitting Mini Freezards with your clawshot to knock them off. Hop over a few short gaps to claim the compass, then head back to the courtyard. After you defeat the White Wolfos, engage your senses and dig (as a wolf) to find a chest containing a small key. Use it to open the door on the courtyard's eastwest side. Grab a cannonball from the room and place it into the spoon-shaped device on the wall. Go back outside, then pull the lever to make the cannonball come out. Pick it up and go to the cannon, turn it towards the Freezard, and place the ball and a bomb in.

In the room to the north of the courtyard, advance to the far side to view a short cut scene, then assign your clawshot to
