From his house, head down and play the Tune of Currents to summon a warp. After bouncing back to the present, head down one more screen and walk inside the house. Simply talk to the stuffed up Tokay in this house to finaly leave the Stink Bag and gain a much more pleasing item, The Tasty meat!

Back on the outskirts of present day Lynna City is the ravenous Happy Mask salesman (Yep, another Majora's Mask character!). If you give him your tasty meat, he'll let you have a free mask! In order to present him with this cullinary delight, you're going to need to find his house. So, walk north a screen from the Lynna shop to arive at Vasu's.

If you go to the exact same locaion in the past, you can aquire the touching book! If you have learned the Tune of Ages, just strum that and walk in the house. If you haven't... just play the Tune of Currents and walk left once from the Post Office. Go inside and talk to the Dekedan, who is depressed for some unannounced reason. If you can cheer him up with the funny joke, you will gain the touching book.

Bump into her and you'll drop the touching book. Here maple will say something about needing, the book for her boss, Syrup. She'll then take it in exchange for the Magic Oar.
