Hi. Loving it so far.
Two things...I'm in the lost woods, but I'm lacking either the Ocarina, or the Wand (Already found the mini dungeon in the woods) Can't seem to find either of them.
The other, I found its possible to bypass the rank 3 barrier by swimming to the next screen right above the barricade. Not major, because the boss is too powerful to really sequence break, but it may be something you want to fix.
Oh dang! I should really fix it. Thanks for the notice!
