Woods of Mystery

The Woods of Mystery is a location in Majora's Mask.

Features
The forest is located past the Magic Hags' Potion Shop in Southern Swamp. It consists of several areas connected in a maze-like fashion, most of which are inhabited by a number of Snappers. As such, Link must follow a certain path or he will get lost and find himself back at the entrance to the woods.

Koume, the person in charge for the Boat Cruise in the Swamp Tourist Center, is immobilized in one of the areas within the Woods of Mystery. To find her, Link must follow a monkey, who will lead the young hero to where Koume is. If Koume is not rescued by a certain point in the game, Kotake sets out to find her, and Link can encounter Kotake in another area of the room, which is also the location of a mushroom that can be detected by the Mask of Scents. Once Link finds Koume, he must report back to Kotake about her sister's injuries. She will give the young hero a bottle filled with Red Potion, which he must take back to Koume for her to consume.

When Link gives Koume the Red Potion, she will instantly recover, and as a thanks to Link, she gives him a free boat cruise ride next time he stops at the Swamp Tourist Center.

The location of Koume in the Woods of Mystery varies depending on the day; likewise, the path that the monkey takes will be different.
