The {{Term/Store|Woods of Winter||Series, OoS}} is a forested area in southeastern [[Holodrum]] in {{OoS}}.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= |book= E|publisher= |page= 251}}</ref> To the north of the woods is the [[Sunken City]]. To the west is [[Eyeglass Lake]]. The woods are accessed from the south via the [[Eastern Suburbs]], which is just next to [[Horon Village]]. At the heart of the woods lies the second [[dungeon]], the [[Snake's Remains]]. The woods are infested with [[Moblin]]s, [[Leever]]s, [[Peahat]]s and [[Like Like]]s.

Given the numerous trees that block off paths in the area, the Woods of Winter is most easily navigated in [[Rod of Seasons#Seasons|winter]] (hence its name), when the leaves have fallen off the trees and the ponds have frozen over. However, to reach the Snake's Remains, Link must clear the [[snow]] blocking the path using the [[Shovel]] acquired from [[Holly]], who lives in a house in the northeastern corner of the woods. Since the door of her house is barred, Link must enter it from the chimney that can be reached by climbing the adjacent snowbank in winter. After tumbling into the house through the chimney, causing a startled Holly to mistake Link for [[wikipedia:Santa Claus|Santa Claus]], she orders Link to clear her walkway, giving him the Shovel and allowing him to keep it afterwards.<ref>{{Cite|AHH!!! You startled me! Winter sets in all of a sudden, then down my chimney comes... You're not Santa! You don't scare me! Now take this shovel and clear the snow from my walkway! Keep the shovel when you're done.|Holly|OOS}}</ref> With it, the young hero can shovel his way to the heart of the woods, where the [[Snake's Remains]] is located. Nearby is Holodrum's [[Mystical Tree|Mystery Tree]], from which Link obtains his first [[Mystery Seed]]s. In autumn, the [[Golden Moblin]] appears near Snake's Remains.

[[File:Snake's Remains Entrance.png|thumb|right|The entrance to the [[Snake's Remains]]]]

Adjacent to the entrance of the Snake's Remains is a small bluff. The surface of the bluff is divided into two sections by a couple rocks. The westernmost section features two staircases which lead into different sections of the dungeon. Between the two staircases is a [[Treasure Chest]] containing a [[Gasha Seed]]. The easternmost section of the bluff features a tree stump, accessed by climbing the [[Vines]] that grow on the side of the bluff in summer. Just beneath the tree stump is a cave. The entrance, carved into the side of the bluff, is blocked by two [[Mushroom|Rock Mushroom]]s that ripen only in autumn. In a [[Linked Game]], a [[Great Fairy]] appears in the cave next to this one—the entrance to which is surrounded by deep water. This Great Fairy has a [[Linked Game/Secrets|secret]] to be told to [[Tingle]] in [[Labrynna]],<ref>{{Cite|There's a man named Tingle on the edge of Lynna Village who thinks he's a fairy. I want you to tell him a secret.|Great Fairy|OOS}}</ref> who will then upgrade Link's seed-carrying capacity.  

Also in the Woods of Winter is a [[Fairy Fountain]] reminiscent those in {{TLoZ}}. In the northern section of the woods is the entrance to the underground cavern of waterfalls that flow from [[Sunken City]] known as [[Sunken City#Waterfalls and Secret Caves|Sunken Falls]]. Burning a specific bush using Ember Seeds reveals a staircase to a hidden cave where an [[Old Man]] resides. If Link speaks to the Old Man, he will take 50 of Link's [[Rupee]]s for the reparations of the "door" that the young hero destroyed.<ref>{{Cite|I thank you for paying to fix my door.|Old Man|OOS}}</ref>  

When Link first arrives in the Woods, Link encounters [[Rosa]], a [[Subrosian]]. By carefully following Rosa without being seen, she leads the young hero to a [[Portal (Object)|Portal]] in a closed off section of [[Eyeglass Lake]].<ref name="Guide 20"/> By stepping into the portal, Link is transported to [[Subrosia]] for the first time. Here, he locates the sunken [[Temple of Seasons]] and obtains the [[Rod of Seasons]] found within. He also speaks to the [[Season Spirits|Spirit of Winter]], who adds the power of winter to the rod. This becomes pivotal in the navigation of the woods.
