Obtaining the Nightmare Key

Dash to the other end, jump quickly onto the thwomp, and climb up the ladders to go back up. Go down and open the chest for the Nightmare Key.

Defeating Angler Fish

Estimated Time: 1:13:01 - 1:14:45

Go back up and jump off the ledge. Go left and shoot a bomb arrow at the bottom right block to destroy the pots around it. Dash jump onto the platform and use the Nightmare Key on the locked door to proceed.

Go down the stairs and into the water to face Angler Fish.

You can just spam spin attacks in this battle. To make each spin attack hit twice, charge then position your sword right above its antenna before unleashing the spin attack. Use normal attacks when it is swimming below you. Repeat these steps and it will be defeated in no time.

After the battle, pick up the Heart Container that will appear. Go back to the room above, proceed to the room north, and get the Surf Harp to complete the dungeon.
