Road to Southern Swamp

Road to the Swamp is a small location in Majora's Mask connecting Termina Field and the Southern Swamp. The area itself lies to the south of Termina Field and north of Woodfall. This location is very small as well as linear, only containing two distinct paths. One path leads straight onto the Southern Swamp while the second leads to the Swamp Shooting Gallery. The Road to the Swamp is fairly deserted and it only contains one feature and that is the withered tree in the center. Many common enemies appear in this area such as Green ChuChus, Bad Bats and at night, Wolfos.

Story

When Link returns to his Hylian form, he is able to leave Clock Town and explore Termina Field. While exploring the southern region he notices a small drawing of Skull Kid near the entrance. Tatl mentions that the Skull Kid used to be nice but the Majora's Mask has changed him. Upon entering Link has to travel straight through the area to reach the Southern Swamp. Link can use the Deku Mask here to shoot down Tingle and buy the map for Woodfall.

After Link obtains the Bow from Woodfall Temple, he can return to this area to take part at the Swamp Shooting Gallery to play the mini-game. Link can acquire a Bow upgrade as well as a Piece of Heart there if he gets enough points. There is also another Piece of Heart located at the top of the withered tree. Link can climb the vines to reach the top, however he must first shoot down the Bad Bat that is blocking the accent.

Trivia

• The drawing of Skull Kid by the entrance of Road to the Swamp may be a reference to the drawing seen of Link in Kokiri Forest from Ocarina of Time.
