Zelda: Ocarina Of Time - Strategy Guide (Page 11)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Zelda: Ocarina Of Time - Strategy Guide (Page 11).

Tips: 

Upon entering the dungeon, look up using C up to start the battle. If 
not, nothing will happen. This boss has a pretty set pattern which you 
should be able to pick up on pretty soon (fall, attack, get on ceiling, 
lay eggs, fall...). It's entire body is covered with a tough shell that 
can not be pierced by any of your current weapons...it's weakspot is 
it's eye, at the front of it's head. Take aim with your Fairy Slingshot* 
and fire Deku Nuts into it! It will be stunned for a few seconds, which 
will allow you enough time to retreat and catch your breath. Of course, 
you'll need to be able to take out your sword and slam it right down 
it's face while it's blinded. Be very careful when it charges, as it is 
quite a large creature (it reminds me of the Queen Alien in Aliens...). 
When she crawls on the ceiling it will lay eggs that will hatch into 
Ghomas...kill 'em! You can also take out the Slingshot and hit it's eye 
before it lays the eggs. This method is a lot safer, not to mention 
faster. It will take about 10 sword hits to kill it. Difficulty: * *  

* - You should use the Fairy Slingshot for one reason: If you toss Deku 
Nuts with your hands near the beginning, a glitch will freeze the game. 
Now, this is the only glitch of this kind in the game, so don't worry. 
Besides...it's easier to use the Fairy Slingshot :)

Boss # 2: Infernal Dinosaur - KING DODONGO

Found: End of Dodongo Cavern Dungeon

Description: A simply HUGE lizard (Dodongo). The room itself is a donut 
shape, with a pool of lava at the center. 

Attack: Besides trying to charge into you, he will spray you with fire 
from his mouth and attempt to crush you.

Tips: 

His fiery breath will quickly drain your health, so quickly run behind 
him. Before entering make sure you have a good supply of Bombs, as you 
don't want to have to go collect Bombs in the arena! To defeat this 
monstrous beast, toss a Bomb when it opens it's mouth to breath fire. If 
you're too late, and the Bomb hits the fire as it comes out, it will 
explode on YOU! After a few Bombs down the throat it will curl over and 
stop attacking. Use the chance to advance and slice it to bits with your 
Sword! Then it will get up, roll into a ball, and chase you, Indiana 
Jones style. Side step/use the Hylian Shield then follow behind it, then 
it'll stop and turn around to face you. Repeat. Also, the best sword 
attack is the lunge (Z + A). However, when it's done you still have a 
bomb in your hands, so quickly tap B to put that away and unsheathe your 
sword, then do the attack, it's more powerful. It takes about 4-5 
"downers" to kill this thing (depends on how many sword hits you can get 
in each time it's down). Difficulty: * *  


************************************************************************


Boss # 3 - Big Octo

Found: Jabu-Jabu's Belly Dungeon

Description: A large octopus thing with a lot of tentacles and strange 
eyes

Attack: He'll try to suck you in with his vacuum breathe, and he will 
attempt to slam into you with its spinning tentacles. Watch out for the 
gigantic, spinning blade platform in the middle of the room!

Tips: 

Stay away from him because his vacuum like breathe is very dangerous. 
Toss the boomerang at him and he'll be stunned, then when he gets up 
he'll start to spin. His back is now at you, throw the Boomerang again 
to stun him, then hit the large, glowing orb on his back. He'll get 
faster and faster with each hit. Getting the last hit is nearly 
impossible, since when he turns around he'll quickly speed away.  It 
will take about five "downers", depending on how many times you can hit 
him when he's down. Difficulty: *


************************************************************************


Boss # 4: Bio-Electrical Anemone - BARINADE 

Found: End of Jabu-Jabu's Belly Dungeon

Description: A HUGE mass of jellyfish, tentacles, and large, fleshy 
appendages. The main feature is the large pillar-like object in the 
center of the room.

Attack: The tentacles slap you, the appendages trip you, and the 
jellyfish try to zap you...

Tips: 

First you have to take out the satellite-like looking tentacles that are 
spewing you with electricity. This is very difficult to do since you 
have to be at the right distance or else the Boomerang will go too 
short/long and miss it completely. After the tentacles are gone the 
Jellyfish will move off of the body and start circling around the 
creature like a giant merry-go-round. Just get far away and watch the 
show. After a bit of this they will stop and start to chase you. Z-
target them and toss your Boomerang at them to kill them. Just be 
careful, the last one will probably reconnect with the main creature 
before giving up the ghost. After this the entire process will start 
over again. Then, something new will happen...the main pillar will 
reveal itself and it will continue to spray you with electricity. To 
avoid the electricity, just strafe left and right, you may even need to 
side step a few times to make it all the way (left/right with A button).  
Fire off the Boomerang at the central pillar and it will be stunned and 
flash blue. Quickly unsheathe your sword, run, and do a lunge (Z + A) 
over and over again to hurt it for maximum damage. Then it will do it 
again, only the Jellyfish will enter the equation! Soon it will be just 
you and the pillar...remember that it won't work if the Boomerang 
doesn't stun the creature first. If you need any supplies, be sure to 
visit the outside edge of the arena, there are several pots there. 
Difficulty: * *


************************************************************************


Boss # 5: Evil Spirit From Beyond - PHANTOM GANON 

Found: End of Forest Temple

Description: A ghost of Ganondorf on his black steed. The room itself is 
circular, with pictures on all sides and several bushes.

Attack: Firing plasma charges 

Tips: 

If I were you I'd bring a lot of Faries into the fight because you'll 
get hit a lot...Stand in the center of the room, Fairy Bow drawn, and 
scan the pictures. When Ganondorf starts to appear - purple light will 
surround the painting - fire an arrow into it. If you hit him, he'll 
retreat. If you miss, he'll zap you for a BIG energy loss. Actually, you 
can avoid this by standing still when you enter the area (i.e. just 
stand in front of the gate that comes up). After three arrow hits his 
horse will disappear and he'll float around, high above your head. Z 
target him and draw your Master Sword...When he fires a pulse at you, 
hit it back with your sword. Just like baseball! Sometimes, however, he 
will hit it back at YOU! HIT IT AGAIN! Sometimes this will go on for 
minutes at a time until one of you misses...When he does get hit he will 
be stunned and fall down to the ground. Run AFAYC (As Fast As You Can) 
and hit him with your strongest weapon (Goron's Sword or Master 
Sword...Goron's is more powerful but you might not have it). If you 
don't have any arrows the Hookshot works, but it will be almost 
impossible. After about 10 hits like this he'll be gone. Difficulty: * * 
*


************************************************************************


Boss # 6 - Dead Hand

Found: Bottom of the Well/Shadow Temple

Description: A morbid looking creature. It's head looks like a skull 
with flesh over it, no muscles. Strange...in the room with it are four 
stationary hands that will grab you if you get near.

Attack: Biting you.

Tips: 

Get grabbed by a hand to start the fight, then quickly tap a button to 
break free. When the Dead Hand Creature gets close, just stand still. 
When it's about .1 inch away it will lower it's head. Wham on it with 
your sword! Then it will turn around and run away. Get away, as it will 
cause a "dirt explosion" and warp away. To get it to re-appear, get 
grabbed by a hand. Repeat the process until it is dead. Difficulty: *


************************************************************************


Boss # 7 - Flare Dancer

Found: Fire Temple

Description: Two forms, a black ball and a dancing guy on fire

Attacks: Throwing things at you, lighting you on fire...

Tips: 

This guy is easy, very easy. The actual boss is a small black ball 
character. He'll jump into the flames in the center of the room, then 
emerge in a strange robot that is on fire. Z-target him and pull the 
Black Ball out with your Hookshot. When he's right in front of you just 
slice him to bits with your sword. Now he'll start running circles 
around the central pillar of fire. He's defenseless now, so don't be 
afraid about getting close. When he sees you he'll run for cover, but 
that's ok, you can still get a couple of hits in. Soon he'll jump in the 
fire and start the process over again. You can tell you're hurting him 
by the fact that the color of the fire robot will be different each 
time!  Repeat until dead. Difficulty: *


************************************************************************


Boss # 8: Subterranean Lava Dragon - VOLVAGIA 

Found: End of Fire Temple

Description: A snake-like dragon, about 20 feet long. The room itself is 
an island out in the lava, with several holes in it.

Attacks: Biting you, dropping rocks from above, and breathing fire.

Tips: 

There are several holes in the room, each filled with lava. Volvagia 
will pop his head up through them and do one of three attacks, or 
sometimes a combination of them all! Sometimes it looks like he'll come 
through a hole (little pebbles will start to fly out) but then he'll 
change his mind at the least second and go somewhere else...sometimes 
he'll do this three or four times! When he does pop his head up he'll 
try to snap at you, then do something else. When he's flying above you 
and tossing down rocks at you, simply run around and avoid them. If one 
looks like it'll land on you, use your shield! Other times he'll chase 
you around the arena, shooting fire at you. This is pretty simple; just 
chase HIM! :) To hurt him, smack his noggin' with the Megaton Hammer 
when he pops his head up, then retreat so his attack doesn't hurt you. 
When he gets hit he'll sit there for a few seconds, so if you're quick 
you may be able to get another one in. Note that you can injure him 
while he flying up in the air by striking him with the Hookshot or a few 
Arrows. Difficulty: * * *


************************************************************************


Boss # 9 - Dark Link

Found: Water Temple

Description: Link...but dark! =)

Attacks: Hitting you with his weapons.

Tips: 

Ok, this guy may seem impossible, but there is a neat-o trick for 
him...Use your shield to block his attacks. Then, the exact second he 
swings his word, lunge (Z + A). If you're a split-second too late he'll 
counteract and wham on you...hard. Also, using Din's Fire is quite 
effective! I've heard a lot of other strategies, such as using the 
Megaton Hammer, but this one seems to work the best. Difficulty: * * * *


************************************************************************


Boss # 10: Giant Aquatic Amoeba - MORPHA 

Found: End of Water Temple

Description: A small red ball about the size of Link's head

Attacks: Getting inside water tentacles and whamming you. VERY POWERFUL!

Tips: 

For such a little guy this boss sure has some potent attacks! There are 
many ways to kill him, so I'll list 'em all. He won't form into a water 
tentacle until he splashes into the water, so you could pin him against 
a wall and just strike him with your sword. Another way is to stay away 
when he's in the tentacle (Use the Hookshot targets to get away faster) 
and then come back in when it goes away and pull him away from the water 
with the Longshot, then hit him. My favorite is to just use Din's Fire 
on the tentacle, because it will evaporate, leaving the dot completely 
defenseless. Now use Mr. Longshot! When he's almost dead he'll form a 
second tentacle! This is where Din's Fire is VERY useful...After about a 
dozen hits the small red ball will explode. Difficulty: * *


************************************************************************


Boss # 11: Phantom Shadow Beast - BONGO BONGO

Found: End of Shadow Temple

Description: A huge head with a large, single red eye, and two 
disembodied hands on the side (BIG hands...). The platform is a giant 
drumskin, with the head in the center, up in the air, and the two drums 
out on the rim, pounding the skin. 

Attacks: The hands have a myriad of attacks, from slapping, clapping, 
and shoving.

Tips: 

This guy is HARD! You have to first paralyze the hands so the head comes 
down, then hit it's red eye. Sounds easy, right? Wrong! The problem is, 
that's where the hands are attacking you. When both hands are far away, 
take out your Fairy Bow and fire an arrow at both (while Z-targeting)! 
They'll turn blue and stop, then the gigantic head will float down. Aim 
the Longshot at it, then fire to stun it. Quickly run up to it and wham 
on him! If you have Goron's Sword it won't take long. Have AT LEAST one 
Fairy. Difficulty: * *  


************************************************************************


Boss # 13: Sorceress Sisters - TWINROVA 

Found: End of Spirit Temple

Attacks: Firing Ice/Fire attacks

Tips: 

You have to fight two bosses at once, which can be somewhat difficult, 
but not overly so. Use your Mirror Shield to block the attacks, which 
will bounce off your shield and back to them. There are two witches: The 
ice one fires ice and the fire one fires fireballs. Knock back the 
attack of one sister to the other (fire on ice, ice one fire) to hurt 
them. After four hits they will join together to form one big tub of 
lard, the ultimate Witch. This one fires all sorts of attacks, and each 
time it hits your Mirror Shield it will absorb it. Absorb about four 
kinds of the same kind and a huge plasma charge will come out of your 
shield and hit her, and she'll fall to the ground. Get over there and 
wham on her! If she fires an attack you don't want simply ignore it. 
After a few hits she'll be gone, and a hilarious death scene will 
commence. Difficulty: * * 


************************************************************************


Boss # 14: Great King Of Evil - GANONDORF

Found: End of Ganon's Castle

Description: Ganondorf in all of his glory.

Attacks: Firing plasma charges, shooting smaller plasma shots, smashing 
you

Tips: 

Go in with each bottle filled with some kind of magic healer, preferably 
Ultimate Blue potion. And it helps SOOO much if you got all the 
fairies...even if you did, this battle is HARD! The fight starts like 
the end of the Phantom Ganondorf fight, with him floating above the 
center of the room, above a platform. To get to the platform you'll have 
to float there using the Hover Boots, because you're on the ring of a 
donut like ring...Hard to explain. Ganondorf will fire electrical bolts, 
hit them back with the sword. Just like last time...After a hit he'll 
just float there. Quickly pull out your Fairy Bow and peg him with a 
Light Arrow. This should knock him down to the platform...QUICK! Run, 
jump, and slash him with your most powerful weapon, then return to your 
little space. If you stick around he'll knock you off. After about six 
hits he'll reach into his bag of magic tricks and pull out his new 
attack, a dark hole will open and he'll shoot about four-five bolts at 
you...AT ONCE! Shields are useless, so you'll have to dodge them. If 
you're daring you could hit him with a Light Arrow before he fires them 
all, but if you're too slow it won't affect him and you'll be a sitting 
duck...the attack HURTS! After about 10 hits he'll be gone. Difficulty: 
* * * 


************************************************************************


Boss # 15 - GANON

Found: After escaping from Ganon's Castle

Description: A HUGE, GIGANITIC, LARGE, MONSTROUS, 
HUMOUNGOUS...BIG...thing =) You know, it's Ganon, the 
Pig/Minotaur/Demon/Bull creature. 

Attacks: He has a spear and a sword. Take a wild guess.

Tips: Good lord...I've always dreamed of a huge, final boss like this. 
You're on a circular platform, with fire on the edges, and Zelda is 
watching. At the start of the fight, Ganon will knock your Master Sword 
away like a toothpick! Your shield is useless, as the spear/sword will 
just puncture it and get you anyways. Avoiding them is almost 
impossible, so you'll have to work fast, as each hit will dramatically 
lower your energy. If you're getting low on supplies, hide behind a 
pillar and Ganon will try to kill you, but hit the pillar instead. Under 
the pillar will be some items, but getting them is difficult since Ganon 
is RIGHT THERE! To hurt him, take out your Fairy Bow and have a Light 
Arrow cocked. When his spear/sword combo is not near it, take aim and 
fire it at his face! Hit it dead center and he'll moan and be thrown 
back a bit...he'll be paralyzed for a few seconds. Quick! Take out your 
most powerful weapon (You don't have your Master Sword, so it'll either 
be your Megaton Hammer or Big Goron's Sword) and find his tail, and hit 
it! You won't have time to hit it more than once, since he'll only be 
down for a few seconds. Now you're in a bad position, i.e. five inches 
away from him, so you'll probably be hurt REAL bad. After Ganon has been 
hit in the tail a good 10 times Zelda will hand over your Master Sword. 
Now Ganon is just faster. Soon, Zelda will make your Master Sword 
magical, and she'll pin down Ganon, since he's weak now...Go deliver the 
final blow. Difficulty: * * 


------------------------------------------------------------------------
15) LINK'S EQUIPMENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------

BL = Both Links
CL = Child Link
AL = Adult Link

There are handfuls of different items to find. Here is a full list

////////////////////////////----------------\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
//////////////////////////// GAMEPLAY ITEMS \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
///////////////////////////------------------\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\


RUPEE (BL):
These items are the currency of Hyrule...duh. Green is worth one, blue 
is five, red is 20, purple is 50, and the elusive gold is 200. The 
Skullkids in the Lost Woods will give you Orange Rupees, which are also 
worth 200.

BOMB (BL): 
You can find these in Bomb Plants, which grow all over Hyrule, 
especially near mountains. After collecting a certain item, you can 
produce your own bombs! A bomb will explode, destroying/damaging 
creatures around it. You can also use these to open up hidden acloves...

GOLDEN SKULLTULA TOKEN (BL):
Found after defeating a Golden Skulltula. Bring these back to the spider 
creatures in Kakariko Village!

BOTTLE (BL):
You can catch all kinds of things in these! Some include: Faries (which 
will restore all of your health when you die), fish (for opening up Jabu 
Jabu) and milk (restores five health)!

DEKU STICK (CL):
Found all around the Deku area, they can either be bought or found by 
destroying enemies. Although a bad weapon (it'll break if it suffers too 
much stress), it is useful for lighting torches and the like. 

DEKU NUT (BL):
Throwing these seeds from the Great Deku Tree will result in a blinding 
flash that will paralyze enemies, allowing you to move in and make a 
kill. It will destroy weaker creatures.

FAIRY OCARINA (YL):
Used to play a few songs before you receive the...

OCARINA OF TIME (BL):
Used to play several songs. Is required to unlock the Temple of Time.

HEART PIECE (BL):
Find four of these items to get one more Heart on your energy! 36 in 
total.

HEART CONTAINER (BL): 
Found after defeating a major boss character, these will automatically 
add a Heart to your life.

WEIRD EGG (CL): 
Used to wake Talon at Hyrule Castle.

GERUDO MEMBERSHIP CARD (BL):
Let's you wander around Gerudo Fortress without being hassled.

LENS OF TRUTH (BL):
Used to see through walls to look for secrets...Takes off a lot of 
magic, though. Found in the Bottom of the Well. Needed to complete game, 
eventually.

LON LON MILK (BL):
Received from cows [See "Secret" section]. Fills five hearts for every 
drink, and there are two drinks per bottle.

GREEN POTION (BL):
Fills magic meter with each drink, and each bottle has one 
drink....why?! 

RED POTION (BL):
Fills heart meter with each drink, and each bottle has one 
drink...YAWN...

BLUE POTION (BL):
Fills all hearts and magic to the brim.

POE (BL): 
Catch a regular Poe in a bottle and you can drink it. Problem is, it 
takes health away instead of adding it. 

SPECIAL POE (AL): 
Capture these in bottles and give them to the man in the Market for 100 
points and 50 Rupees. When you get 1,000 points, you get a bottle.

MAGICAL BEAN (YL):
Bought from the boy near the entrance to Zora's River. Plant these in 
soft soil, then return as an adult to find a platform! Hop on and it 
will lift you above, showing you secret items...

FAIRY (BL):
You can find these all over the place, especially in secret areas. They 
will refill all of your health. If you put them into a bottle, you can 
save them for later. Also, if you die, it will automatically "bring you 
back to life." Because of this, you should always have a bottle with a 
fairy in it. 

RED FAIRY (BL):
These things are very rare, usually found by playing the Song of  Storms 
when Navi turns green over some water. They will automatically restore 
ALL Health and Magic. Note that you can not capture them in a bottle.

BLUE FIRE (BL):
Use this to melt red ice.


//////////////////////////////--------------\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
////////////////////////////// MAGIC POWERS \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
/////////////////////////////----------------\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\


These can be found by talking to the fairy fountains around the land. 
Any Link can use it...

DIN'S FIRE: 
Link will be surrounded in flames. Useful for incinerating enemies and 
lighting torches. Needed to open up the Shadow Temple.

FARORE'S WIND:
Sets up two warp points around Hyrule, making travel a lot easier! 
However, it only works in Dungeons. Is it me, or is this totally 
useless?

NAYRU'S LOVE:
Gives you invulnerability for a short amount of time. However, it takes 
a ton of magic points to use, so try only to use it when you're almost 
dead and have no healing items.


//////////////////////////////----------\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
////////////////////////////// UPGRADES \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
/////////////////////////////------------\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\


SILVER SCALE (BL):
Allows you to dive deeper. Found in Zora's Domain as Child Link.

GOLDEN SCALE  (BL):
Allows you to dive EVEN DEEPER!! Found by catching a large fish as an 
Adult. Not needed to finish the game, however.

SILVER GAUNTLET (AL):
Allows you to lift heavy objects, this is found in the Spirit Temple. 

GOLDEN GAUNTLET (AL): 
Allows you to lift objects so heavy, it's amazing! :) Found in Ganon's 
Castle.

GORON BRACELET (CL):
Allows you to lift bombs from bomb flowers.

BOMB BAG (BL):
Allows you to create bombs on your own. The first one is found in 
Dodongo's Cavern, the other two are secrets.

IRON BOOTS (AL):
Takes you to the bottom of any lake. Now you can walk underwater! Slows 
you down tremendously on land, however. These are found in the Ice 
Cavern, which is located in Zora's Fountain as an adult.

HOVER BOOTS (AL):
Let's you hover for a short time. For an even longer hovering distance, 
run at a ledge full speed, and then roll right before the ledge. You'll 
hover, but without the boots. Then when you stand back up, and when you 
should be falling, the boots will take affect, making you go even 
farther. Roll at the end to do it again...dumb rhyme...Anyways, this is 
a great way to reach so called "out of reach items." These are found in 
the Shadow Temple.

ZORA TUNIC (AL):
Let's you go underwater without having to breath! To get this, use a 
bottle of Blue Fire on the frozen King Zora. 

GORON TUNIC (AL):
Now you can go into incredibly hot areas without being scorched. *Super 
Metroid Theme* To collect this, go to Goron's City as an adult and stop 
the rolling Goron with a bomb. After he yells at you, go talk to him. 
When you are presented two topics, talk about both, and he'll hand it 
over, thinking you can help.

/////////////////////////////// WEAPONS \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
//////////////////////////////-----------\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\


At first you barely have anything, but through your quest you'll find a 
myriad of strange and exotic weapons to help you beat the beasties!


                           - - - SWORDS - - - 


KOKIRI SWORD (CL)  
This is the first sword you find. Although it is weak, you'll have to 
collect it to go on. 


MASTER SWORD (AL) 
You'll need this to travel through time. It is adult Link's main sword. 
VERY powerful...


BIG GORON'S SWORD (AL) 
This is the most powerful weapon in the game! Although, it's so heavy 
that you can't carry a shield with it. [See "Strange Information" 
section on how to retrieve]. However, there is a way around this 
problem. When you need the shield in question, tap a weapon that lets 
you use the shield, the Hookshot/Longshot being a good example. Now 
quickly tap R and lo and behold, a shield!  
 
The Big Goron Sword can be found by completing a rather lengthy trading 
sequence.


GIANT'S KNIFE (AL)
Another large knife...It can be bought for 200 Rupees from the Giant 
Goron in Goron City. On the second floor, look for two bomb flowers. 
Stand between them and bomb the wall, and then follow the path to find 
him. Although the Goron Knife is strong, it breaks easily. There is no 
way to stop it. It doesn't matter, though, since the Big Goron's Sword 
is exactly the same, except it won't break.

************************************************************************


                        - - - SHIELDS - - - 


DEKU SHIELD (CL)  
This is the first shield you find. It's good enough for the time you 
need it. Will burn if lit on fire. 


HYLIAN SHIELD (BL)  
Almost required to beat the King Dodongo, this strong metal shield is  
must-have for serious fighters. As a child you use it over your body, 
and as an Adult you use it normally. You can buy it or find it for free 
in several chests around the world.


MIRROR SHIELDS (AL) 
Deflects magical attacks...very useful! It is also more powerful than 
the Hylian Shield, as far as I can tell. Found in the Spirit Temple. 
This has been in too many Zelda games...


************************************************************************


                     - - - OTHER WEAPONS - - - 


FAIRY BOW (AL)  
This replaces the Fairy Slingshot when you grow up. You can have four 
different kinds of arrows for it...Found in the Forest Temple.

1) Fire Arrow - Explodes on contact. Takes 2 MP to use each time. This 
can be found after you complete the Water Temple, and all the water in 
Lake Hylia returns. Once you do this, you can find a plaque near the 
Triforce symbol that talks about firing into the morning sun. Well, when 
it's in the morning, shoot into the sun! When you do this, it will fall 
down onto the island. 

2) Ice Arrow - Freezes enemies. Some will shatter if you hit 'em! Takes 
2MP. This is the big prize in the Gerudo Training Grounds, which is an 
optional dungeon. Read the appropriate section for a walkthrough.

3) Light Arrow - A VERY powerful arrow. Save them for something special. 
Takes 4MP. The person who Sheik really is will give it to you after all 
the medallions have been collected. 

4) Normal Arrow - Regular Arrow...just need to find them.

HOOKSHOT (AL) 
Use this to cross gaps...connects to rocks and blocks! Can also be used 
as an effective weapon. You can lengthen it later with the Longshot, 
which is found in the Water Temple after beating Dark Link. The Longshot 
is TWICE as long as the Hookshot, not to mention a more powerful 
weapon..

FAIRY SLINGSHOT (CL)  
Found in the Deku Tree Dungeon, it allows you to fire Deku Seeds a lot 
farther than you could ever throw them. 

BOOMERANG (CL) 
Useful for picking off enemies and items from a distance. Found in Jabu-
Jabu's Belly.

MEGATON HAMMER (AL)  
Useful for destroying blocks and turning rusted switches. Will pound 
weaker enemies into oblivion. Found in the Fire Temple.

BOMBCHU (BL)  
A mouse like creature will carry a bomb to a target. You can't control 
it once you let it go, so be sure to aim well. Not overly useful, but 
fun to play around with. The best way to get these is to go to the 
Market as young Link, wait until dark, then look for a store that opens. 
It sells Bombchus at a pretty cheap price. Another place, although more

Q: In the Bottom of the Well, in the area with the green slime and 
Silver Rupees (The area you appear in when you fall down a hole)...Well, 
I noticed a bridge of somekind going over a tunnel. How do you reach it? 
 
A: Ah, yes! I knew I forgot something. OK, here it goes. Go to the 
center area, where there are two locked doors, and fall down the 
invisible hole in the center of the room (it's covered by blood). You'll 
fall on the bridge...Your prize? About five or six blue Rupees.

A: No. There are nine locked doors and nine keys to find -- you do the 
math! Look in the Gerudo Training Ground Section for a very detailed 
guide on this. If you can't beat it after that, you're just plain 
stupid, I'm sorry.
