Story[]
Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.
On his quest to free the Seven Maidens, Link enters the Swamp Palace. However, he finds that the ladder leading into the main dungeon has broken off. Sahasrahla contacts Link by means of a Telepathic Tile and informs him that certain changes made in the Light World will also cause change to happen in the Dark World. Link uses the Magic Mirror to travel to the Light World and enters the Swamp Ruins. Inside, he drains the water, effectively causing water to fill the Swamp Palace in the Dark World. Link uses the water to circumvent the broken ladder and traverses the dungeon. After defeating Arrghus, Link rescues the second Maiden.
