{{Term/Store|Catfish's Maw||Series, LA, LADX}} is the fifth {{Term|LADX|Dungeon|link}} in {{LA}}.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= |book= E |publisher= |page= 148}}</ref> It is the location of the {{Term|LADX|Wind Marimba|link}}. The entrance of this {{Term|LADX|Dungeon}}, which looks like a giant blue catfish, is located within {{Term|LADX|Martha's Bay|link}}. The main tool of this {{Term|LADX|Dungeon}} is the {{Term|LADX|Hookshot|link}}, which is originally located in a {{Term|LADX|Treasure Chest|link}}, but is stolen by {{Term|LADX|Master Stalfos|link}}, after his first battle with {{Term|LADX|Link|link}}. It is obtained after defeating him three additional times. It is necessary to access certain rooms and needed to defeat the {{Term|LADX|Boss|link}}, {{Term|LADX|Slime Eel|link}}. The second mini-boss of the {{Term|LADX|Dungeon}} is a pair of {{Plural|LADX|Gohma|link}}. | |||
==Entrance to the Maw== | |||
After {{Term|LADX|Link|link}} leaves the {{Term|LADX|Angler's Tunnel|link}}, a {{Term|LADX|Ghost|link}} begins following him. He cannot enter the {{Term|LADX|Dungeon|link}} with the {{Term|LADX|Ghost}}, and must help it make peace with its death before entering. However, the entire entrance is surrounded by rocks, and thus cannot be accessed by swimming on the surface alone. {{Term|LADX|Link}} needs to dive down on the left side of the rocks and swim through an underwater tunnel to this {{Term|LADX|Dungeon}}.<ref>{{Cite|Hoot! It has been some time since our paths crossed, lad. You must dive into the waters of Martha's Bay to enter the Catfish's Maw... The closer you get to the Wind Fish, the more restless he sleeps. Carry onward! Hoot!|Owl|LADX}}</ref> | |||
==Themes and Navigation== | |||
The interior of the {{Term|LADX|Dungeon|link}} is mostly sandy floor with brown walls. There also seem to be a lot of purple crystals growing in certain rooms, which can be destroyed by {{Term|LADX|Link|link}}'s {{Term|LADX|Sword|link}}. Despite this {{Term|LADX|Dungeon}} being in the middle of {{Term|LADX|Martha's Bay|link}}, it is actually dry inside, with a few rooms having shallow {{Term|LADX|Water|link}} and only three rooms being flooded (two of them being flooded side-view rooms). | |||
This is the | This {{Term|LADX|Dungeon}} has five mini-boss battles. The first mini-boss is {{Term|LADX|Master Stalfos|link}}, who steals the {{Term|LADX|Hookshot|link}} from a {{Term|LADX|Treasure Chest|link}} after his first battle with {{Term|LADX|Link}}.<ref>{{Cite|'I've got what was inside this box. Come and get it, if you can!' Master {{Icon|LADX Stalfos}}|Master Stalfos|LADX}}</ref> Once defeated, he moves into another room and must be searched for in order to battle again. All of the rooms in which {{Term|LADX|Link}} battles him can easily be identified by the skull-shaped tiling on the room's floor. Each of these four rooms also has a number of {{Plural|LADX|Block|link}} corresponding to the number of the battle that takes place in the room. The other mini-bosses are the {{Plural|LADX|Gohma|link}}, who can only be reached once {{Term|LADX|Link}} has the {{Term|LADX|Hookshot}} and seem to be the true mini-bosses of this {{Term|LADX|Dungeon}}, as defeating them creates a portal back to the entrance of the {{Term|LADX|Dungeon}}, unlike {{Term|LADX|Master Stalfos}}. | ||
The puzzles in this {{Term|LADX|Dungeon}} often involve using the {{Term|LADX|Hookshot}} to cross long gaps. A variation on this is the appearance of wooden bridges which can only be extended by using the {{Term|LADX|Hookshot}} on one side of the gap. The {{Term|LADX|Dungeon}} also has a hidden room that is not on the {{Term|LADX|Dungeon Map|link}}, next to the {{Term|LADX|Boss}} room. It can only be accessed by diving underwater<ref>{{Cite|Dive under where torchlight beams do cross...|Owl Statue|LADX}}</ref> in a nearby room to enter a side-scrolling area, where {{Term|LADX|Link}} can climb up a ladder to get to the hidden room. The room contains the {{Term|LADX|Nightmare Key|link}}, vital for getting to the {{Term|LADX|Boss}}, {{Term|LADX|Slime Eel|link}}. | |||
The room where {{Term|LADX|Link}} fights the {{Term|LADX|Boss}} is originally a normal room, but since {{Term|LADX|Slime Eel}} lives in the walls of the {{Term|LADX|Dungeon}}, it therefore breaks open sections of the walls and floor to attack {{Term|LADX|Link}}. Its tail comes out of the hole in the floor, and rotates around the room, trying to hit {{Term|LADX|Link}}. It cannot be harmed. However, {{Term|LADX|Slime Eel}}'s head appears randomly in one of the four holes in the wall at regular intervals. Using the {{Term|LADX|Hookshot}}, {{Term|LADX|Link}} can pull {{Term|LADX|Slime Eel}}'s head out and attack his vulnerable midsection. | |||
{{ | When looked at on the {{Term|LADX|Dungeon Map}}, the {{Term|LADX|Dungeon}} is in the shape of {{Term|LADX|Slime Eel}}. | ||
