Overview
In this cycle we'll be doing what I like to call the Anju/Kafei sidequest redux. Basically, we follow all the steps up to where the Man from the Curiosity Shop gives us the Letter to Mama, but then we give that to the Postman to deliver. This is also the absolute last cycle, actually.

 * 2) If you haven't already received Piece of Heart #47/52, gather however many rupees you need (hopefully you've been collecting rupees steadily and whatever left you need is a reasonable amount) and do so now.
 * 3) Optionally buy some Bomchus (if you're not very good at using them, you should buy some, since they won't ever appear in pots or anything and you'll need them later; the game only provides ten on its own).

Night 3

 * 1) Go to the Post Office and give the Letter to Mama to the Postman. Follow him to the Milk Bar as he delivers it. Afterward, he will give you the Postman's Hat (Mask #23/24).

 * 5) Talk to the Lunar Child wearing Gyorg's Remains. Give him three of your masks.

Twinmold Dungeon

 * 2) Go through the next two doors and fight the Garo Master. Hookshot up to the chest and go through the next two doors.
 * 3) Fight the Iron Knuckle. Afterward, open a chest for some Bombchus.
 * 4) If you look to the right, you will see a cracked wall. You need to set a Bombchu, then shoot it with an arrow as it passes over the crack. Then shoot the eye that's behind it. Climb up the ladder that appears and go through the door.
 * 5) Pick up Piece of Heart #52/52. Then use a Bombchu on the crack on the ceiling. Then shoot the eye with a Fire Arrow. Go through the door.
