I finally found the blasted rooster. I thought I had tried pushing the weathervane statue before, but apparently not. Once below, I used the third song to awaken it. Next, I made my way back to the cave with the Eagle key.
Using the rooster, I was able to get the key. Then I went and unlocked the Eagle Tower, level 7. I’ve found the map and explored about two thirds of the level.
I should be able to wrap it up during my next session.
Time played: 30 minutes

I finished the sixth palace today. I had been stumped on this one, which is probably why I haven’t been playing much. Oh, and the fact that I couldn’t find my GBA SP had some bearing as well. I found it this weekend, so I resumed my quest.
In about 30 minutes I had completed the palace. It’s interesting to let a game sit for a while and come back to it with a fresh perspective. So many times that has been all I needed to overcome a roadblock. In this palace I got some “red medicine,” but it’s not in my item area so I can’t equip and use it directly. I’m not quite sure what it does.
I have already located the seventh palace, Eagle Tower, and the key to gain entrance, but I can’t figure out how to get the key. As odd as this sounds, I think it involves flying chickens. Several characters have dropped hints about the Weathercock statue and flying chickens, but I haven’t been able to figure out what I should be doing. The key is on the other side of a chasm that can be jumped over and I can’t use the hookshot. My only hope is a flying chicken.
Time played: 1 hour
