Swamp (The Crystal Trap)

The Swamp is a location featured in. When TCT: reaches the TCT:, she will have a choice between taking the swamp, TCT:, or TCT: path.

As Zelda is traveling through the swamp, she will hear the sound of a creature far off in the distance. When she reaches the noise of the creature, the princess will meet TCT:, a blue-furred, ugly monster who is trying to dig out something out of the mud. Zelda, thinking that whatever the monster is looking for could be important, scares TCT: away with her NaN Arrows and digs up in the place of the creature to find the TCT:.

Eventually, Zelda will encounter a path of dry ground to her right that seems to go up a slope and out of the swamp. It is at this point that the young princess must decide whether she should exit the swamp or head deeper into it. If Zelda exits the swamp now, she will end up outside the TCT:, just in front of the TCT:. However, if she decides to go deeper into the swamp, she will meet up with TCT: again, who is trapped in a pit of quicksand and begs Zelda to save him. The princess hesitates on saving the monster, but TCT: then throws a stick against her feet, causing Zelda to fall into the quicksand as well. The monster calls Zelda stupid and says he has a rope to free himself from the quicksand, which he uses to escape. Watching helplessly as TCT: walks away with the rope, she slowly starts stinking deeper into the quicksand.

If Zelda has the TCT: from TCT:, the princess will be able to safely get out of the quicksand and exit the swamp. Not possessing the TCT: will lead to Zelda's demise.
