Tips
  • Be mindful of the water's strong current; falling in past the stream's mouth will transport you outside the castle, requiring a return trip to Hazy Maze Cave.
  • Exercise caution when crossing the small bridge to avoid falling into the water.
  • The Metal Cap grants temporary invincibility and allows you to walk underwater.
  • With the Metal Cap, you can revisit earlier levels like [Through the Jet Stream] in Jolly Roger Bay to overcome previously impossible challenges.
