After the learning the song of soaring, proceed towards the woodfall temple.
You should reach a large watery area, filled with poisonous water. While you can head to the left to open a chest and get rupees, you need to cross the area to the right to reach the building on the far side of the river.
In the second room, reach the lower floor, and in deku form, skip across the water to the eastern door. Proceed through, and skip to the central flower. Dive in and fly to the chest on the north and retrieve the key. (You can proceed into the east to get the dungeon map. However, make sure you have a means of flipping turtles on their back, such as explosions.)
West of the second room, push the block forward. Walk around the plank, defeat the skulltula, and push the middle block east all the way. Light a Deku Stick (if you have none, head to the east and kill Deku Babas), and Light the southern torch, and go through the southern door.
In the southern room, kill the two dragonflys and get the compass. An ammo-free way of doing so is using the deku flowers, but you may have to use other attacks if they are too far away. Return north, light a deku stick and light the torch on the second floor. From there, burn the web on the north.
In the darkened area, kill all black poes to reveal a chest. With a deku stick, light the torches on the north, east and south walls.
In the next room, jump across the room using the flowers and proceed to the staircase on the other side. YOu will return to the second room on the upper portion.
In this room, press the switch in normal form to create two ladders to the lower floor. Go to the upper east exit and go through the south door. Kill the enemy to get the Hero's Bow.
With the bow, head back to the north, shoot the eye switch, and use the flowers to reach the other end. Go through the north door to fight a Gekko. When you hit the Gekko a few times, it will summon a Snapper to ride and attack. To defeat it when it's riding, use a bomb to knock the Gekko off, or dive into a Deku Flower and launch when it slides over. Use the Hero's Bow to inflict the last few hits.
The doors will unlock, allowing you to get the boss key.
In the central chamber, you will first have to shoot a fire arrow from the east-side of the room through a torch to the central shrine, then fire an arrow from the central-shrine to the torch in the north-west, to unlock the north upper door.
Dungeon Map
Inside the temple
From the entrance, collect the two fairies (in front, and in the chest) and cross to the other side of the room. Be sure to approach the platform in the middle to avoid a surprise attack from skulltalas.
Odolwa
Select controller:The boss is Odolwa, a masked jungle warrior.
Wait for him to commence a spell where he tries to summon bettles, moths, or fire. You may need to dive and launch from the middle deku flower. Once he does so, attack him with your sword and land as many hits as possible.
Eventually, he will begin a spinning attack. Defend until he can is no longer hitting you, and retaliate. When he dies, collect the heart container and Odolwa's Remains. The innocent spirit will teach you the Oath of Order, raise the back door to the temple and purify the surrounding water.
Returning the princess
Tatl will apologize for what she did you to you and your horse. When you Tatl suggests to go to the mountains, you will hear something behind you. Cut the door with your sword, and the Deku princess will talk with you. She asks you to find something to put her in to bring her to the Deku palace.
Return to the palace, and release her infront of the king.
After returning the princess, a shrine will be opened on the right. Go into the shrine and talk with the butler and follow him. You need to be quick while going through the course, as doors will close after a time limit, forcing you to restart the shrine. After completing it, you will receive the Mask of Scents.
