If you have been following this guide, you should have the Titan's Mitt now. If so, we should go on a side quest of sorts. Return to Hyrule and head over to the Sanctuary, then use the fissure portal inside to head back to Lorule.
Graveyard
You will emerge in a room with a Philosopher. You can light the lantern and talk to him if you want, otherwise exit to the south. Outside, go east to the Graveyard and activate the weather vane in the southeast area. To the north of the vane is a large rock; lift it with help from Titan's Mitt and enter the cave below.
Graveyard Cave
In this darkened cave, equip the Lamp so you can see a little bit better. Open the chest ahead to get
1 Rupee, then break the pots to reveal a floor switch. Step on it, then enter the next room. Here, defeat the enemies and head to the west end of the room. Open the chest along the way to receive
5 Rupees. At the far end, go up the steps and pass the locked door, following the path along a catwalk. Take
20 Rupees from the chest at the end, then merge into the wall and continue eastward to another ledge with a
Small Key on it.
With the key, unlock the western door you just passed and go into that room. Inside, defeat the three red cyclops enemies with your sword whenever their eyes are glowing. When all three are defeated, continue to the next room. In there, pull the right wall lever to open the door leading upstairs; the left lever makes more enemies appear. Anyway, go upstairs and merge with the right wall to cross the pit. Open the large chest to receive your second
Master Ore.
Now that you have two Master Ores, you can upgrade your Master Sword for the first time! Return to Hyrule via the fissure portal at the back of this room.
Once you are back in Hyrule, return to the Blacksmith's Shop. Talk to the Blacksmith and he will upgrade your Master Sword to
Master Sword Lv2, known as the Tempered Sword in the SNES version! Now that your sword is stronger, you are ready to continue. For us, the swamp will be our next destination. In order to unlock that, first return to Thieves' Town in Lorule.
Thieves' Town
Back here, head to the southern area of town to the Big Bomb Flower Shop. If you haven't used it yet, go inside and pay the man 200 Rupees to borrow it, then go in the yard and detonate the Big Bomb Flower near the cracked rock to open a hole in the fence. That way you can borrow it at any time! Anyway, take the Big Bomb Flower and lead it to the southeast.
With the Big Bomb Flower in tow, make sure you defeat any enemies nearby since you don't want this to detonate too soon. Pass the Haunted Grove area, and when you come to a wall to the east, go south and use Titan's Mitt to clear the large stone as a shortcut into the Swamp of Evil.
Swamp of Evil
Continue to the south and east to where a building is surrounded by water. There is a cracked rock in front of it, so lead the Big Bomb Flower there and activate it. This will cause some water to drain out into the underground rooms below. You will need the Hookshot to get across the drained moat, so make sure you have it. If you go north of here, you can find a cave where the Thief Girl is hiding. She will give you a chest containing
100 Rupees. If you return to the southern building in Hyrule, you can complete a treasure hunter puzzle room (requires the Boomerang and Hookshot).
Back to the moat you just drained however. Hookshot across and enter the building. Inside, go down the stairs and you will enter the next dungeon.
