Zelda: Ocarina Of Time - Strategy Guide (Page 03)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Zelda: Ocarina Of Time - Strategy Guide (Page 03).

Now, go back to the Twisted Hallway. Actually, the room BEFORE it. See 
the eyeball above the doorway? Peg it with an arrow, the resulting 
effect will un-twist the twisted hallway. Now go through it and drop to 
the floor, open up the purdy chest and you'll get the Boss Key. Now drop 
down into the hole in the ground. Kill the Blue Skulls, then go through 
the un-locked doorway. The best way to defeat the giant Deku Baba is to 
stun it with the Hookshot, then use your sword (do a lunge for one hit 
to kill! It's A in Battle Mode, duh). Go in the door to the right...Now 
you must kill a Floormaster! Z-target it and wham it with arrows, then 
it will break into three smaller pieces; do the same, or you could use 
your Sword Spin, that is quite effective. Now after chopping it to 
pieces, you will get another Small Key. Go back to the balcony and 
through the door. Return to the area before the twisted hallway. Re-
twist it (Hey, I can make up my own words if I want to) then go through 
it, down the Poe Area, through the used-to-be-Stalfo room, and through 
another room. Fall down, then climb the ladder to the right. Go through 
the hallway with green flaming skulls and un-lock this door with your 
Key!

This room has a pillar with a torch on it at it's center, and four 
platforms revolving around it. There is an eyeball near here, but it is 
covered in ice. Solution? Whip out your arrow, get on a platform, and 
shoot the arrow through the torch. The arrow will fly through the flame, 
light on fire, hit the eyeball, melt the ice, and then activate the 
switch. Sweet...That will cause the second hallway to be twisted, you 
know, the one you just came from. Fall down the hole in the ground when 
you return...

This area seems impossible at first...but it's not. The ceiling will 
fall, but there are several holes in it, which will allow you to slip 
by. Here's how to get through it: First, run to the switch. Stand on it 
to open the exit, and a hole is right over you. When the ceiling is at 
it's highest, quickly run to the chest. Besides being safe, you'll pick 
up a bundle of Arrows. Oh, I forgot to mention, you can take out the 
Giant Skulltulas with your Hookshot! The neat thing about using the 
Hookshot is that you DO NOT have to wait for them to turn around (which 
is a good thing, since they don't turn around until you get close to 
them). Now, exit.

Look at the picture of the Poe. Look at it good...memorize it. Now hit 

t with an Arrow, blocks will fall. They have pictures on them...you 
have to arrange them to look like the Poe Sister, Amy, the one in the 
picture. There's the eyes, bottom, and torch. It's a perfect block. You 
get 60 Seconds, if you fail then they flip over and you must try again. 
When you do finally complete it they will vanish and you'll fight Amy. 
Use the same techniques as before. When the door unlocks, go through it. 
Now we're back in the Main Room...climb to the bottom and go to the 
center of the chamber.

Now you must fight the last Poe...Meg. She will split into four and 
encircle you. The one that does a quick spin is the REAL one. Quickly Z-
target it and fire an arrow! Repeat this process until it's destroyed. 
An elevator will appear in the platform. I'm sure you know what to do 
now...

Now, this may sound strange (and it is!), but push on the wall. Yes, the 
entire wall will shift positions. Fiddle around with this a bit and you 
will eventually be able to get to the Boss Door! The fastest is to 
continually push it counter-clockwise. Make sure to bring plenty of 
Arrows for the Boss, or it will be a lot tougher. Check the Boss Section 
for details on that...

Now Saria is rescued, and you have acquired the FOREST MEDALLION! You 
are coming closer to freeing Hyrule, but you still have a lot ways to 
go.

Items to find: Goron Tunic, "Bolero of Fire", Entrance to Fire Temple


All of the Gorons are gone, except for the one on the third floor that 
is rolling around wildly. Put a bomb in his path and, if it blows up on 
him, he'll stop. But I know a trick that I haven't seen anywhere else, 
and it works like a charm...you know those two Bomb Flowers near the 
entrance to the Giant Goron that sells you Giant's Knife? Well, get 
away, and when the ball is almost there, fire an arrow at the bombs! It 
works perfectly. Talk to him after he calls you "Ganondorf's servant" 
and he'll tell you a few stories, then you have to talk to him about 
both topics that are presented to you by Navi ("Where the Gorons are" 
and "The Dragon". He says you're the only one that can save the Goron 
race, and he gives you a little present, the Goron Tunic, which is 
resistant to fire (Is this starting to sound like Super 
Metroid?...maybe...).  You could always buy this at a store, but it 
costs a lot of money (200 Rupees...you'd need the Adult Wallet for this 
one). 

Go downstairs to the King's Room and pull on the statue that looks out 
of place, behind it is the Death Mountain Crater. Cross the broken 
bridge, using your Hookshot to get across gaps. Before finding the 
entrance to the Fire Temple, Sheik will teach you the Bolero of Fire, 
yet another song for your collection. Enter the Fire Temple...

///////////////////////////// FIRE TEMPLE \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
////////////////////////////---------------\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Items to find: Map, Compass, Megaton Hammer, Fire Medallion


Go up the stairs and through the left door. After the chat with the King 
Goron (I can't remember how to spell it) jump on the platforms to the 
left. You'll find a switch, stand on it to release the Goron! Talk to 
him to free him and get a tip. Pick up the Small Key that's in his cell. 
Now return to the entrance and go through the right door this time.

Cross the wooden bridge and go across the wooden board to the right of 
the locked door. Soon you'll find a wall with an odd piece...blow it up 
with a bomb! Inside is a Goron in his cell, along with the Small Key you 
need to open the locked door. Now exit the tunnel, across the chamber is 
a door under a blue block. Enter the door. Another Goron with a Small 
Key. With your two keys, un-lock the door across the wooden bridge.

Go across the board and then climb the gate near the right pillar. Jump 
on the pillar, being weary of the Keese, and push the block on top of 
the pillar of fire. When it erupts it will fling the block up. Get on 
your little elevator to be transported to the upper area, it has a 
locked door. Use your last Key on it...duh. Climb the ledges, killing 
the Torch Slugs, then hop on over to the adjacent area. Push the block 
off the edge, then drop down and pull it as far as it will go. Get back 
to where the block used to be, then use the block as a stepping stone to 
the next area. Climb the fence. The exit to this room is being blocked 
by a large flame. Remember that strange diamond object near where the 
block originally was? Well, if you hit it with something, the fire will 
go out...for five seconds. Get on the same level as the fire, stand near 
the edge, and toss a bomb on top of the diamond. Get near the flame. If 
the bomb hits it's target, quickly climb the fence and exit through the 
door.

Now we're in a giant maze with boulders rolling everywhere. You can find 
two Gorons now...the first one is to your left, just follow the wall in 
that direction. Get the key in his cell. The second is on the other 
side, in a small aclove. Get that key as well. Now, find the locked door 
(near a wall) and go through it. Hit the eyeball with an arrow (it's 
very easy to miss, look up near the ceiling) and the barred door will be 
open. Inside is a chest with the Map. Now return, go through the locked 
door. 

In this room a curtain of fire will follow you, so don't doddle. Ignore 
the locked door and follow the path to find another door. Now you're at 
the top of the maze. The platform in front of you, the one with the 
Torch Slug, has a very large crack in it. Also, Navi will say "I hear 
Goron voices below..." It's pretty obvious now. Just plant a bomb there, 
then fall down the tube. At the bottom is a Goron and a Key (like 
always). Climb up the grating to return to the top of the maze. A few 
platforms away is a switch, it will open a cage nearby, on the other 
side of the maze. Carefully, hop over there. Get the Key. NOW return to 
the room with the fire curtain, un-lock the door. Go through the hall...

This room is huge, and very dangerous. It looks like an open space, but 
the curtains of fire that open up block your path and will torch you if 
you touch them. And since they only appear when you get close to them, 
it's a good idea to walk, not run. Turn to your right and follow the 
wall to a door, inside is a chest with the Compass. Go back to where you 
came in and go left, carefully make your way through the pillars of 
fire, the bats, and rolling rocks and un-lock the door there. 

Go through the hallway (you can't get the Goron there - YET). Now you're 
on the opposite side of the room. The only reason you can't get here via 
the other side is due to the fact that the curtains of fire cover it up! 
Now, hit the switch and quickly run to the area that the giant flame was 
protecting. The door here is FAKE; it will attack you if you attempt to 
open it. Instead, lay a bomb down and blow it into oblivion. Behind it 
is a real door. Now you will fight the Flare Dancer. Ya know, the one in 
the Boss Section...

When he's dead the flame in the center will go out, now it serves as an 
elevator to the upper area. Climb the grating on the wall, then throw a 
bomb over the ledge to activate the Diamond Object and de-activate the 
flame. Climb the grating, then exit. 

Now we're in a semi-donut shaped room, Climb the stairs, then hit the 
switch. Now, above, the treasure chest used to have a flame around it, 
but now it does not. There's a timer, so quickly use the small steps 
near the edge of the hole in the center to climb up there. Oh, and try 
not to fall...it's a LOOOONNNG way down :) If you make it in time, and 
don't fall, you shall have received the Megaton Hammer! Go to your right 
to find a strange block with a face on it...smash it with the  Megaton 
Hammer and it will fall, creating a tunnel for you. Break the statue 
with the Hammer to reveal a door. Take care of all the Keese, then smash 
the strange block with a face. It's a switch, and will cause the floor 
to transform into a stairway. At the bottom is a switch that will not 
stay down...Just grab a crate near the start of the room, carry it 
there, then lay it down on the switch! 

Smash the stone with a face and you will fall into the room with the 
maze of fire curtains. The block that fell will serve as a step up to a 
barred door. There is a switch, but like Navi said, "It's all rusted!" 
Just whip out your Megaton Hammer and hit it. Now, take a running leap 
and jump over the gap! Play the Song of Time near the blue block and it 
will disappear (sorta), revealing a rusted switch. Hit it with your 
Megaton Hammer, it will un-lock the Goron below. He'll say that the 
statue near the start of the dungeon has a door behind it...Grab the 
Small Key in his cell. Now, climb the blue block and exit through the 
door you entered. See that platform right in front of you? Hop on it and 
smash the face block with your Hammer. Not only are we at the beginning 
of the dungeon, we've made a little bridge to the Boss Door!

The statue the Goron was speaking of is to the right of the stairs. 
Smash it to bits with the Hammer, then enter the door behind it. Kill 
all the creatures in this room to unlock the door. Exit through the 
door, avoiding the spinning tiles...now you must face the Flare Dancer 
again! Just check out the section...that starts with a B...ends with an 
S...After killing him the barred door will be free to open. Also, a 
chest will drop down, this contains a few bombs. Exit the door, smash 
the rusted switch with the Hammer to open the cell and rescue the final 
Goron. Open up the yellow and blue chest to find the...Boss Key! Oh 
yeah, baby! Go to the door that's in the cell, you're to the left of the 
stairs at the start. I'm sure you know where to go now...(door, left of 
stairs...where the King was at the start!). Also, if you want to re-fill 
your health or your bottles are empty, go to the right of the boss door 
(you'll need to use the Hookshot target) and smash the pots on the 
ledge, one of them has a Fairy in it!

Now you will fight the mythical dragon, Volvagia. Check out the Boss 
Section for details on this fight...Take the Heart Container and enter 
the blue light.

Now Darunia, king of the Gorons, and the Sage of Fire, will hand over 
the FIRE MEDALLION. You are now about 3/4 of the way through the game in 
terms of getting to the ending sequence.

Items to find: Double Magic Meter


After warping from the Chamber of Sages, return to where you entered, 
but instead of going through, turn left, smash the boulders with your 
Megaton Hammer, and continue in that direction. Eventually, Navi will go 
to a group of rocks and turn green. Smash these and go inside; play 
Zelda's Lullaby on the Triforce Symbol and guess what? Another Fairy 
Whore will double your Magic Meter, making you even MORE dangerous :) 
You'll now want to some how make your way to Zora's Domain. The fastest 
way is to play the Prelude of Time to get to the Market, then walk out 
and play Epona's Song to call Epona, then run her to Zora's Domain. Or 
you could just walk down the mountain and get there...Like before, stand 
on the stone and play Zelda's Lullaby. It'll open.

Items to find: Entrance to Ice Cavern


This place is a lot different...Instead of flowing water we have frozen 
ice...SOLID ice...Everything is frozen, even the King. Go behind the 
King Zora. Once outside, hop on the ice platforms and go in the ice 
cave...it's to the left, you nut.

Items to find: Map, Compass, Blue Fire, Iron Boots, "Serenade of Water"


This level is not exactly a normal area...and it's not exactly a 
dungeon...It's a hybrid of sorts. Go forward until you reach your first 
room. Defeat all of the Freezeerds to open the door. Be careful of the 
switchblade that encircles the room! Go in the door, now you must 
collect all of the Silver Rupees. This is fairly simple if it weren't 
for the rotating knife contraption in the center of the room. Most of 
them are near the blades, and one is hidden in a grove of icicles, along 
with a Golden Skulltula. One is near the exit, but you'll need to jump 
off the platform (just be sure not to land on the blades!). After that, 
exit through the newly opened door, then follow the hall until you find 
a large room. First, kill all the creatures in it, then walk up to the 
torch of Blue Fire...fill ALL of your Bottles with this. Now, use it on 
the red ice that is blocking the chest, then re-fill. The Map is inside 
the chest...Now return to the room with the rotating knife contraption.

You'll notice that two parts of the wall are covered in red ice...melt 
them with blue fire. One of them will lead to a dead-end type room. It 
contains another torch of Blue Fire. Re-fill, then get the Heart 
Container and the Compass. Re-fill again, then go into the OTHER 
passageway that was covered in ice...

If you have an IQ of over 5 then this room will be a cinch! All you have 
to do to collect the Silver Rupees is to push the ice block against the 
pillars, then hop on. One requires a Bottle of Blue Fire, and what luck, 
there is a torch of it in the room, but you'll need the block to reach 
it. Just remember that if you screw up and need the block in a position 
that is simply impossible to get it there, push if off into the 
bottomless pits that surround the perimeter of the room, it will return 
to it's original position (well, another one will, at least). Once the 
door is actually un-locked you'll actually have to make the iceblock 
start from it's original position (push it off the ledge) and then make 
it go around the entire "circle" of pillars. You  know, if you looked up 
you would see that the pillars around the room form a circle of sorts. 
:) Climb up to the door...but make sure to have at LEAST two Bottles of 
Blue Fire.

A large block of red ice will block your way...use Blue Fire, obviously. 
Now you must fight a White Wolfos. This isn't any different from an 
ordinary Wolfos, he just looks different (and he's a bit more powerful, 
but not much). The reward for all of this hard work?...the Iron Boots! 
Then Sheik will come in and teach you the Serenade of Water, which will 
warp you to Lake Hylia. But don't use it yet. Instead, strap on the Iron 
Boots and fall down the hole of water behind the treasure chest. If you 
need any Blue Fire, go back to the room with the giant knife contraption 
and into the room where you got the Heart Piece and the Compass, there's 
a torch of blue fire in there. Now exit, and return to Zora's Domain.

Items to find: Zora's Tunic


Use the Bottle of Blue Fire on King Zora and he will thaw, and then 
reward your kindness with the Zora Tunic, which will allow you to go 
underwater without drowning  Ahem...Play

Items to find: Entrance to Water Temple


Equip both the Iron Boots and Zora's Tunic, then plunge into the water. 
Keep walking and you will, eventually, find the entrance to the Water 
Temple. Shoot the Blue Switch with the Hookshot to open it up, then walk 
on in...

//////////////////////////----------------\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Items to find: Compass, Map, Longshot, Water Medallion


This is one of the most confusing dungeons in the game, so listen very 
carefully...Put on the Iron Boots and sink to the very bottom. Go in the 
entrance that has two torches on either side. There you will find 
Princess Ruto in all of her adult glory (if you thought she looked good 
as a kid...). First she will talk about how she'll marry you, then 
she'll tell you that to thaw out Zora's Domain you must beat the Boss of 
the Temple. She'll float up. Follow her by taking off the Boots. At the 
very top is a Triforce Symbol on the wall. Play Zelda's Lullaby to lower 
the water level all the way. But before falling back down, enter the 
nearby door. Defeat all of the Spiked Balls by using the Hookshot, a 
treasure chest will appear, inside is the Map! Now return and fall down 
the hole...

There are two ways to light these torches: Shoot an arrow through the 
already lit torch so it hits the torches, or just use Din's Fire. Either 
way, the door will open. Kill all the clams by shooting the inside of 
their mouth with the Hookshot. When they are all dead a chest will 
appear, inside is a Small Key. Now exit to the main area of this 
dungeon.

If you want some items head to the left passageway. If you just want to 
continue, go to the other side of the chamber. Climb the block and push 
the stone as far as it will go. When it drops, use your Iron Boots to 
drop down and get to the next area. You may want to kill the Tekitite 
across the room (use arrows). Hit the Diamond Object and a pillar of 
water will rise, use this to get across the gap. The next area has water 
that swirls you around...underwater you'll notice a large pipe. When 
you're near the upper part of it, activate your Iron Boots to fight the 
currents and fall down there. Now, see the Diamond Object in the Dragon 
Statue's Mouth? Hit this with the Hookshot, the nearby gate will open. 
However, to get there you'll need to peg the Hookshot Target on the 
wall. To easily avoid the clams, take off the Iron Boots and float up to 
the next room. You'll find a Small Key...return to the Main Area of this 
dungeon.

In the middle of the chamber is a tower, correct? Well, there is a 
single, locked door at the bottom. Well, you have the Key, don't you?! 
Inside seems like a dead-end, but it's not. Run to the end of the 
blocks, then use your Hookshot on the nearby target, it's to your left. 
Play Zelda's Lullaby near the Triforce Symbol to raise the water mid-
way. Notice how the block has also been raised...strap on the Iron Boots 
and fall down into the secret tunnel that it was covering.

At the end is a Diamond Object, hit it with the Hookshot. Actually, 
that's the only thing you CAN hit it with since it's the only object you 
can use underwater. Kill the enemies that fall down to un-lock the gate. 
Inside is a room with a Small Key. Now you have two Small Keys...return 
to the previous room, the one with the Triforce Symbol, and exit through 
the only door. Put on your Iron Boots and return to the area where 
Princess Ruto was (the one with a torch on either side, but they're out 
now since it was covered with water...obviously). When you get there, 
take them off and float up. Since the water is only at mid-point you 
will reach the area with a cracked wall. Bomb it to find another Small 
Key! Return to the Main Chamber...

At the mid-way level (that is, the area where the water is the highest) 
is a tunnel with a few pots. Follow it, after a few Hookshot targets 
you'll find a chest covered in a waterpillar. To get rid of it, stand 
next to it and peg the Diamond Object with an arrow. The timer lasts 
about three seconds, so you HAVE to be this close. Inside is the 
Compass! Now return to the Main Chamber...

On the other side of the area is a locked door (mid-way level). Un-lock 
it. Now you have two keys. Stand on the water pillar, you should hear 
that sound a Tekitite makes when it jumps...MOVE! He'll come crashing 
down. Kill him. Now, stand on the water pillar, then hit the Diamond 
Object with your arrow. It will lift you up to another room. Play 
Zelda's Lullaby near the Triforce Symbol to raise the water to it's 
highest point. Now, near you is a locked door. Across the chamber from 
that is a tunnel. Go inside and pull the block until it falls into the 
little hole. Now, go un-lock that door!

This room has no puzzles, just pure ACTION! It's hard to explain, but 
just drop down to the platform that is moving up and down, then use your 
Hookshot on the nearest platform that comes down the falls. Then just go 
up, up, UP! :) At the top is a locked door, and you have one last 
Key...In the next room there is a Diamond Object in the center. Hit it 
with your Hookshot, the water will rise, as will the dragon statue 
across from you. Get over there by use of the Hookshot target on it's 
belly. Then, turn around and hit the Diamond Object again to lower the 
water, as well as the dragon statue across from you. Get over there by 
use of the Hookshot target on the wall. Climb the head, then hit the 
Diamond Object with your Hookshot to raise the water, as well as the 
dragon statue across from you. Get there by it's Hookshot Target. Now, 
hit the Diamond Object to lower the dragon and water. Climb onto of the 
dragon head, then hit the Diamond Object. Now the dragon statue will 
raise you to the next area. Kill the Tekitites, then climb over the 
spikes by using the Like Like as a Hookshot target (took me awhile to 
figure that out, heh heh). 

The next room contains Dark Link. Check out the Boss Section for a 
little spicy gossip...er...details.

Go into the now un-locked door to find the...Longshot! Whoop! Whoop! 
This one can extend TWICE as far as your old, outdated, nasty Hookshot. 
Go behind the treasure chest to find a blue block, play the Song of Time 
to get rid of it. Fall into the tunnel it creates. Now you're at the 
mouth of a river...and in it, as Navi points out, are several vortexes 
that will suck you in. The best, not to mention safest and fastest, 
method is to just swim by them! At the end is an eyeball on the wall. 
Stand on the nearby ledge and peg it with an arrow. Now, the nearby cage 
will open, revealing a chest. Use it as a Longshot target to get there 
quickly. Inside is a Small Key. To escape, fall through the hole behind 
it which leads to an already explored area. Go to the main chamber, I'm 
sure you know the way...

Now we need to get the water level at it's mid-way point. If you forgot 
how to do that, shut off the computer/TV and bang your head against the 
wall and repeat "I need a bigger brain, I NEED A BIGGER brain!" Once 
that is complete, go to the mid-way point of the tower and look for the 
barred entrance that has an eyeball. Shoot it with an arrow, then 
quickly pull yourself to the Longshot target. You have to be quick, 
since it only lasts about five seconds. Once there, you'll find the 
block you pulled into the little hole from the start of the dungeon. 
Push it until it stops, then continue to find a Small key in a chest. 
Now, return to the Main Area! 

Sink to the bottom and go through the tunnel that leads to a spiked 
area...I can't give you specific directions, since there's really 
nothing to look for...just look around at the very bottom, near the 
impression in the ground. Once there, use your Longshot to clear the 
spikes. Now, open the once-locked door. You have one more Key 
left...Trust me, you'll want to kill all the Tekitites in this room. The 
first four can be lured over with the Longshot - kill the last two with 
arrows. Now, carefully cross the dangerous water. Next room, defeat all 
the Stingers. Ok, see the parts of the wall that look funny, near the 
door you came in, on the platforms? Bomb 'em! Inside both is a secret 
tunnel with a block inside. Also in this room is a switch that won't 
stay down...put two and two together and what do you get? Just a hint, 
it's not five. Push/pull the block onto the switch. The water level will 
rise, allowing you to exit.

You'll probably want to kill the Teketites across the gap (try arrows, 
genius). Now, hit the switch and use the water pillars as platforms. 
Through the door is a waterfall that spews out boulders which will push 
you into a previous room. After a boulder goes by, jump near the 
waterfall and equip the Iron Boots. Under you go...use your last key to 
un-lock the last normal door. Inside is the...BOSS KEY! Also, behind it 
are two pots: they BOTH have Fairies inside. Put them to good use inside 
your Bottles, afterall, you never know when you'll start sucking :) Exit 
to the Main Chamber...

Raise the water to it's highest point, then walk along the top part of 
the central tower. You'll spot a Longshot target on a purple statue. Get 
over there (the pots here also have Fairies). There's the Boss 
Door...but there's catch. The path to it has three switchblades going 
back and fourth. Sounds easy to get past, right? Wrong. The hill is 
tilted at such an angle that you CAN'T stop. You have to press the stick 
straight the entire time to get through. It won't be easy, but you'll 
get it sooner or later.

Also, Princess Ruto will now hand over the WATER MEDALLION, as she is 
also a Sage!

Items to find: Fire Arrow


Now you're standing on an island with a plaque...it talks about firing 
into the morning sun. Wait until morning and look for the sun to rise 
and do exactly that; take aim with the bow and fire an arrow directly 
into the sun. A Fire Arrow will fall down...Now you can collect Fire 
Arrows throughout the game! They are quite powerful - they explode on 
contact.

Items to find: Entrance of Well


Walk out of the Market and go to this peaceful town. Now, go to the 
Windmill and talk to the man. Play the Song of Storms for him, this will 
drain the well (and really screw up the windmill...). Crawl through the 
passageway at the bottom of the well and...

Items to find: Map, Compass, Lens of Truth


Go through the small passageway. After defeating the Giant Skulltula, go 
right through the wall. Yep, that's right, through the wall. It's fake, 
and you'll end up in a new room. Fall into the stream and follow it, 
starting to your right. Soon you'll find a Triforce Symbol. Stand on it 
and play Zelda's Lullaby. The water will drain all the way down...now 
retrace your steps to the room after the fake wall. There is a large 
aclove in the floor, it has two passages: one is barred, the other 
isn't. Follow the one that isn't until you reach a new room. Kill 'Dead 
Hand' to receive...dun dun dun...the Lens of Truth! Use it in this room 
to find a chest with a Golden Rupee (worth 200!). Explore the rest of 
the well, there are many interesting things here...But we got the main 
item. Now exit, I'm sure you know the way.

Also, here are the locations of the Map and Compass

Map: In the area you appear in when you fall down a hole, where you have 
to collect Silver Rupees, go to the passageway surrounded by torches and 
blow the boulders blocking it away. Follow the passageway, being careful 
of the ReDeads, and you will find a Big Chest! 
 
Compass: Follow where the river used to be and use the Lens of Truth 
constantly. You should eventually find a secret passageway that allows 
you to get to the Big Chest containing the Compass. You can also see 
this in the center area, but an invisible hole makes it impossible to 
from that area. 

NOTE: For information on anything else in this dungeon, see the FAQ 
section and Golden Skulltula section. 

Return to the Temple of Time and take out the Master Sword to travel 
forward seven years..........

Items to find: "Nocturne of Shadow", Entrance to Shadow Temple


Enter this town from Hyrule Field, NOT Death Mountain. After a cool 
cinema, Sheik will teach you a new song, the Nocturne of Shadow. Play it 
to warp to the entrance of the Shadow Temple. Now look behind you to see 
a bunch of unlit torches...Stand in the middle of them and use Din's 
Fire (You did get that...right? If not, go check out the location of it 
in the appropriate section...I can wait) to light them all at the same 
time, forcing the entrance open.

Items to find: Compass, Map, Hover Boots, Shadow Medallion


(You're going to NEED the Lens of Truth in this dungeon, unless you know 
where ALL the invisible things are. If you've never been here and have 
no idea what I'm talking about, check up a few paragraphs to see how to 
find it).

Go forward and get past the cliff with your Longshot. Use the LENS OF 
TRUTH HERE! Walk through the face block. Now you're in a room with a lot 
of faces, use the Lens of Truth to find the one that goes to another 
hall. Again, use the Lens to find the correct path. Kill the ReDead and 
Keese and you'll receive the Map! Now go back into the room with the 
billions of orange faces to find another path. Sooner or later you'll 
stumble upon the Dead Hand mini-boss. Check out the Boss Section. Now 
you will receive the Hover Boots! Return to the room with many blue 
faces and a strange bird statue in the middle...

The inscription reads "Make my beak face the skull of truth...The 
alternative is a descent into the deep darkness below." Well, whip out 
the Lens of Truth and you'll find that most of the skull totems in this 
room are fake...except for one. Grab the statue and point it's beak to 
that one. When done, the nearby door will un-lock. Use your newly found 
Hover Boots to glide there.

There are three ways to go...forward, left, and right. Two are 
invisible, forward is bombable. Go left first. You have to collect all 
of the Silver Rupees while avoiding the spinning blades of the two Death 
statues. Pretty simple...you get a Small Key for your effort. Now, go 
through the right passage in the previous room (from where you entered 
originally, that is). Kill the two Mummies and you'll be rewarded the 
Compass. Now, go back to the little crossroads and bomb the forward 
passageway and go through the locked door.

Now you have to go through a long hallway. Be careful! Giant Skulltulas 
will drop from the ceiling with no warning. At the end you'll enter a 
large room. Dodge the guillotines (sp?) and use the Hoverboots to get to 
the platform that goes up and down using it's chains (you can pretty 
much ignore the Stalfo if you want...). Now drop down to the next 
platform by using your Hoverboots when the platform is at it's highest.

Collect the Silver Rupees to un-lock the door. This is as easy as 
falling asleep in Algebra class...Go down the hall, now you'll have to 
go through these falling spiked contraptions. Use your Lens of Truth to 
spot a block in the wall, use it to get through. When the second 
platform starts falling on it, switch to the other side to avoid getting 
hit by the first one (now you've switched from pushing to pulling). At 
the end it will create a little ladder for you to the above area. Use 
the spiked platforms as bridges to the other side, just be careful, you 
have to time it right or else you'll be impaled. On the other side is a 
switch, stand on it to activate a chest on the opposite side. You'll 
need to use the Hover Boots, obviously. Inside is another Small Key! No 
go back outside...

Go up the brown, rocky path to the left. Use your Lens of Truth to spot 
the invisible platforms. Go through the locked door, you may need to use 
the Hover boots on the last platform, though, since it's moving back and 
fourth. Inside you can kill the two ReDeads for a Blue Rupee chest. 
Collect the Silver Rupees by using your Lens of Truth to spot spikes and 
invisible Longshot targets. You'll need to line yourself up with them, 
then fire your Longshot in order to retrieve them. One will require to 
use your Hoverboots in the platform in the corner. When they are all 
collected the door will open, another room.

Go up the stairs and grab a Bomb Flower, then hurl it into the flaming 
skull. When it explodes the skull will to, and a Small Key will pop out. 
Pick it up, obviously. To open the door you'll have to defeat all of the 
Keese in the room. Go back to the previous room. You can see the locked 
door, but you can't get there...don the Lens of Truth to see the 
invisible Longshot target. Get there, un-lock the door.

In this hall are several switchblades, but there are fans that will try 
to blow you into them! Put on your Iron Boots to avoid that. After 
awhile you'll find a gap with a fan across it. Above it is a log, use 
the Longshot to get over there. Now you'll find a bridge, with fans on 
either side, and an enemy eyeball that shoots fire. Kill it by shooting 
an arrow into it when it opens. Now, use the Lens of Truth to find the 
secret passage in the wall. It's too far away to get to, even for the 
Hover Boots! Look closely at the fan behind you...when it's at full 
blast, run off the cliff towards the passage, Hoverboots equipped, and 
you should make it perfectly!

Kill the two mummies for a Rupee Chest, then bomb the pile of dirt near 
the entrance. Inside of it is an invisible chest, inside of that is a 
Small Key, which allows you to exit the room! The ladder is too high to 
reach, so push and pull the block against it to make it reachable. Up it 
is a boat, get on the Triforce Symbol and play the Royal Song...if 
you're confused about which one that is, I'd like to how you got this 
far. The boat will start to go down the river. Along the way you'll 
fight two Stalfos. At the end, whether or not they are both dead or not, 
the ship will start to sink. Jump to the area to your left (if you're 
facing the front of the ship). Go through the door.

This room is a big maze (though the walls are only visible if you wear 
the Lens of Truth) filled with Floormasters. Don't worry! They can't 
pick you up, they're on the floor, not the ceiling. There are three 
doors. One has a bunch of rotating skulls, you can get a few items in 
there. One has a blood stained floor, use the Lens of Truth to find the 
invisible Floormaster. Kill it to receive a Small Key. The last has two 
walls with spikes that will attempt to crush you. Just use Din's Fire to 
burn them down. Kill the two ReDeads for a few Rupees, then open the 
yellow/blue chest for the Boss Key. Once you have all the keys you need, 
return to where you fell off the ship.

Look across the chasm and you will see a large statue surrounded by bomb 
flowers. Take out your Fairy Bow and peg one with an arrow, they will 
all explode and the statue will fall, making a suitable bridge. Un-lock 
the door. Now, use the Lens of Truth to spot the invisible platforms, 
and use the Hoverboots to cross them. Just be careful when you land on a 
new one, you'll have some momentum and you might fall off, so quickly 
pull back on the analog stick to avoid that. You now stand at the Boss 
Door...be sure to leave the Hoverboots on when you enter!

Impa, Zelda's nanny, is awakened as a Sage. You also have the SHADOW 
MEDALLION! Only one more medallion and we're off to Ganon's Castle.
