It is with the telescope that Link notices [[Quill]] looking up at the sky at the giant [[Helmaroc King]] kidnapping the pirate [[Tetra]], and it is also the only time the telescope is truly needed to advance in the game.<ref>{{cite|Hey, what's that? Link! Are you looking at the red postbox? The postman looks kinda weird, doesn't he? AAAAAHH! Link! The sky! Look up in the sky! Link, this is so terrible! That girl fell into the forest!

The area is swarming with [[Vulture]]s and [[Geldman]]s, as well as [[bomb]]s that explode at close range, making it somewhat of a nuisance to traverse.
