when you get 250 rupees, go buy the ring thingy it makes it so much easier

to get there (from the spawning point) go: left, up, left, cross the bridge, up, left, up, up, then you should see those 6 statues that move when you touch them
activate the one in the middle of the upper row, there should be stairs under it, in there is a shop where you can buy the ring
