Walkthrough:The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages/Xykeb Zraliv/Part 3

The Cheval Rope and Flippers
The Maku Tree will tell you that she senses an Essence on Crescent Island to the south. However, you can't swim, so you'll need to find some sort of vessel to take you there. Go east, north, west, then north. Jump over the pit and go north twice, then into the cave. There's obviously a Piece of Heart here that you want. Jump counterclockwise around the room. When you reach the platform to the right of the Piece of Heart, lift the pot, then go to where it was and jump to the left. Grab Piece of Heart #5/12. Jump south twice, then lift the pot and jump to the exit and leave.

Now go back to Lynna Village. Go out the northeast exit. Go south four times, then jump over the river and go north. Go into the house and talk to the guy in here. He will say that his name is Cheval (how would one pronounce that?) and that his dream is to create flippers and rope that won't decay in water. Now leave the house to find Ralph, who will say that he's seen a grave that has Cheval's name on it in the present. Then he'll run off and do some stuff that clearly won't be of help seeing as you're the one gathering the Essences.

Now go south, west, west, north, southwest, south, south, and into the building. Talk to the guy in here and he'll explain that his name is Rafton, and his dream is to make great rafts (his parents sure knew what they wanted him to do when they named him). However, to do so, he needs some rope that won't decay in water, which incidentally Cheval just happens to be working on. Clearly you're gonna need that rope.

However, Cheval isn't done with it, so you're going to have to go into the present, which I reckon is about 380 years after Cheval's death. Ralph said that he saw a grave with Cheval's name on it, so head to Yoll Graveyard. Go north to find an area with a whole bunch of pits. You can't get across these with just the Roc's Feather. Go south, then east. A bunch of Ghinis are terrorizing a blue bear with wings. Kill the Ghinis, then talk to the bear. He says that his name is Moosh. You can ride on him. You can make him fly by repeatedly pressing A, and by holding A then releasing, he will do a ground pound.

Go back to the area with the pits and use Moosh to fly over them. When you reach a grave in the northwest corner near a rock, push it north. There's a secret staircase under here. Gee, that's original. Go down, and it's revealed that this is a big watery cave. Kill some enemies, then go north, east, and south. Jump to the east, then to a big yellow thing sticking out of the wall. Grab it with the Power Bracelet, then pull it back until you can't pull it back anymore. Jump to the east, then run between the blocks and to the Zora's Flippers. You can now swim! When you're in the water, you can dive with B and swim faster with A.

Now swim north and around some gnarled root looking things. Go west and onto a platform. Grab the Cheval's Rope that's here. Now leave the grave, lift the rock, and go south. Moosh will say goodbye. Now go back to the past and bring the rope to Rafton. However, he says that you need something else...a chart.
