The Horgrus Boomerang is also helpful in Level 2 (boss and heart piece). Once you got the Ocarina, you can get the Boomerang as well. Also, it's recommended to go for the item of Level 2 first and then go into the woods left from the start to get another very useful item where you need Level 2's item for. Another place to use the Level 2 item you should really see soon is an icy temple in the north for a VERY handy item.
