===Dungeon, part 1===
It is better to clear the dungeon in chronological order, i.e. let us start from Ambi's age.

Bombe the right wall. Kill all {{zw|Wizzrobe}}s here to obtain [[File:Zelda Oracles Gasha Seed.png]] '''Gasha Seed'''. Go right again and put the {{zw|Candlehead}}s on fire with Ember Seeds. Go up and right. Lit up the Lamps in order (upper-left, upper-middle, lower-middle and lasty upper-right. Doing it right will cause the right wall to disappear. Since you don't have the Mermaid Suit yet you can't do anything for now. Go left and swim to the far left for the [[File:Zelda Oracles Dungeon Map.png]] '''Dungeon Map'''. The {{zw|Bubble}}s can be killed with Boomerang. Return to the Entrance and go up and left for the [[File:Zelda Oracles Compass.png]] '''Compass''' after you've slayed all four {{zw|Gel}}s there.

Go right, up twice and kill three Candleheads and two {{zw|Keese}}s to open up the door to the next room. In this room you need to kill two {{Shrouded Stalfos}} to pick up [[File:Zelda Oracles Small Key.png]] '''Small Key'''. Go left, down and unlock the door to the left. Kill the Blue Wizzrobe first before using the Cane of Somaria to place a red block on the right Button. Destroy all Pots except the one in the middle. Move it on the left Button to open the door. Kill the two {{zw|Floormaster}}s first, since they can bring you back to the Entrance. Destroy the Blocks with Bombs along with the northern wall which has a secret passage to the north. Once the hole in the wall is made, exit the Dungeon and play the Tune of Currents.

Now enter the Cave and unlock the Door to Mermaids Cave. Go up and kill four {{zw|Rope}}s and the Lamps will stop firing Fireballs at you. Go up and left. Go across with the Switch Hook and get the [[File:Zelda Oracles Dungeon Map.png]] '''Dungeon Map'''. Go right and up. Shoot the Crystal with Seed Shooter and walk to the upper-right part and shoot the Crystal again to go right. The Owls give you a tip to use Scent Seed. Use it from Seed Satchel to let the Ropes run to their death. This will net you a [[File:Zelda Oracles Small Key.png]] '''Small Key'''. Go left and shoot the Crystal. Now go to lower-left part and shoot the Crystal again. Go left and dispatch three Floormasters and one Red Wizzrobe from this World. Bomb up the southern wall, go south using the Switch Hook and bomb up another wall to a room with a puzzle.

If you bombed up the wall in the past, then a hole will be there. Go up and enter both Wheels and go up, left, down. Jump off the Ledge and go right in the Wheel again. Repeat it again, so that come out south. Go left, up and take another [[File:Zelda Oracles Small Key.png]] '''Small Key''' from the chest. Jump off to the right and return to the Wheel once again. Enter the Wheel, go up, jump off right, go back down and repeat it again, so that you can go right. Go up, right and open the door and be prepared to fight {{zw|Vire}}.

Go right and throw a bomb with the right timing at the cracked Blocks, then swap over with the Switch Hook to the chest with the [[File:Zelda Oracles Mermaid Suit.png]] '''Mermaid Suit'''. Now go left and warp yourself to the Entrance. From there go right and fire Ember Seeds on three Candleheads to open the door right. Watch out for the {{zw|Blade Trap|Giant Blade Trap}} which follow a pattern. Bypass that and open the north door with a Small Key. Swap yourself to the other side with the Switch Hook and go right. Get the [[File:Zelda Oracles Compass.png]] '''Compass''' from the chest and jump down. Go down the stairs and go to the other side. Once you're out go bottomleft to get '''10 [[File:Zelda Oracles Small Red Rupee.png]] Rupees'''.

Go back right and unlock the key block. Go left and up. It's random, so try to pull any lever until a chest appear instead of Ropes and take out the [[File:Zelda Oracles Boss Key.png]] '''Boss Key''' from it. Now's the time to leave this dungeon. On the underground way back you need to use the Cane of Somaria to create a Block to reach the exit. Outside go in the small pond left from the dungeon. Dive in it and you'll find a [[File:Zelda Oracles Ring 19.png]] '''Toss Ring'''.

Swim left and up to a room with two Ropes. Kill them for one [[File:Zelda Oracles Small Key.png]] '''Small Key'''. Now return to the surface and go back to the Entrance. Go up twice, then left. Move one Pot on the left Button and use Cane of Somaria on the other Button and go in the next room. Destroy the Blocks with Bombs and go up again.

Go up and get '''30 [[File:Zelda Oracles Middle Blue Rupee.png]] Rupees''' from the chest and go right, up. Kill two Ropes there to open the door right. Use the Switch Hook to bring all six Diamonds on the colored plattform to get one [[File:Zelda Oracles Small Key.png]] '''Small Key'''. Now resurface and use Small Key to open the door.

[[File:Zelda Ages Mermaid's Cave Boss.png|thumb|left|Octogon]]
Swim to the plattform in the middle and prepare Sword and Seed Shooter for this Boss. Octogon will circle around and shoot a Rock at you. When Octogon open the mouth, then attack it with the sword, since that is the only vulnerable spot on him. After a while he will dive under water. Do the same and attack him there with the Seed Shooter until Octogon surface, then you just need to surface too and attack him with the sword. After a while Octogon will be defeated and you can obtain the [[File:Zelda Oracles Heart Container.png]] '''Heart Container'''. Go right and get the [[File:Zelda Oracles Lonely Peak.png]] '''Lonely Peak'''.
