When Link ventures to the Southern Swamp, he comes upon an area known as the Woods of Mystery. Here he must rescue Koume, by following a Monkey who shows him the proper way to go. After he does so, he is approached by three Monkeys who ask Link to save their friend who has been taken prisoner at the Deku Palace. When Link arrives at the Palace, he finds that the monkey is locked in a cage in the Throne Room. The Deku King has locked him up for kidnapping the Deku Princess, since he was the last one seen with her.

When the Princess saw the Swamp filling with poison water, she decided to travel to the temple to find the source of the problem. While there, however, she was kidnapped by Odolwa and held captive.

After Link defeats Odolwa and saves the Deku Princess, the Monkey is let go after the Deku King learns of the misunderstanding.
