The City In the Sky

You start off in the City in the Sky after you defeat the Twilit Dragon Argorok. Go to the south part and Clawshot into the cannon and you’ll be shot back to Lake Hylia.

Kakariko Gorge

Now that we have the Double Clawshot there are some things we can do. Warp to the Kakariko Gorge and as you get here you’ll probably get a letter from Shad, the Oocca’s and Purlo at the STAR Minigame in Hyrule Castle Town. We’ll go here in a second but first go to the west part of Kakariko Gorge.

You’ll see a caged area you can Clawshot on. Clawshot onto here and now since you have the Double Clawshot, Link can clawshot onto the grating on the other side of the wall and then onto the Ivy. Climb your way to the other side of the ivy and you’ll see a treasure, it is a Piece of Heart.

Hyrule Castle Town

Warp here and we’ll look into this Star Minigame. The Star Tent is on the west side of Hyrule Castle Town if you forget. Now that you have the Double Clawshot you can access the higher parts of this minigame.

Okay it’s still hard and you’ll want to Save so that you don’t continually waste 15 rupees. It shouldnt’ take too many times for you to get the hang of it. You have to get all the stars, and you have to be extremely efficient to do it within the given timeframe. Of course try to Clawshot into the most dense areas so that you get 4, 5, even 6 stars at a time. This much is rare but can happen easily at the beginning and then you’ll want to get a consistent 2 or 3 each time. Eventually it’ll get down there where you’re clawshotting around for them 1 at a time but just be fast and decisive and you’ll get them all. Since you’re a superstar now you get a Giant Quiver so you can have a whopping 100 Arrows!

Mirror Chamber

Teleport here. As you enter this area you’ll see a scene with the Mirror of Twilight. You’ll learn now from the Sages about Midna being the Twilight Princess. When you regain control run in front of the mirror and enter.

Palace of Twilight

You have teleported here. The things walking around here aren’t enemies as Midna points out. Take the west door.

In this room you’ll have some Keese and Deku Baba’s to destroy, and a Zant Mask type creature that sends fireballs your way. To kill these guys you’re going to have to use a Shield Attack to reflect their fire shots and then follow up with a Jump attack or regular attacks to kill them. A Small Key treasure pops up afterwards. Clawshot north and go through the north locked door now.

Go north and drop down and you’ll turn into Wolf Link when you enter the black area. Use you Senses to see and you can find a Mask of Zant lurking around. A charge attack from Wolf Link can kill it. Once it’s dead, two treasures appear – a Compass to the south and a Small Key to the north. Clawshot your way up the platform and to the southeast part of the room for an Orange Rupee. Back to the north end of the room to pass through the locked door.

You are now fighting an Image of Zant. He likes to summon monsters, specifically Keese and Deku Babas. Kill off these monster and then you’ll see Zant telelport all over the area. You’ll want to catch him when he’s about to summon some monsters (he’ll be preparing for it) and then lock on and Jump Attack him. If you kill all the monsters and then just look around really fast and make sure you Jump attack him before he summons, he may never get off any more monsters. After the fight he releases some darkness.

You are by Sol. It illuminates this world. Attack the hand and then pick up the Sol. Run back with it and it’ll eliminate the fog. When you leave, the hand will turn into one of those horrible creatures, the Wall Masters. Quickly place the Sol in the center indentation and a bridge appears. Go to the top of it and then Clawshot the Sol quick and run out. If you don’t the Wall Master may reclaim the Sol but you can shoot arrows at it if you want.

In this next room run south and the Wall Master will come through the wall! Clearly this thing will follow you. Continue south and you’ll see a bunch of Shadowlings again so dispatch them and put the Sol in the indentation. Quickly look back and shoot the Wall Master three times to stun it, then run up the stairs.

At the top, shoot the Wall Master three more times to stun it again and then clawshot the sol. Throw the Sol up the ledges as you go south, and you’ll get to more Shadowlings. Kill them and shoot the Wall Master again and go through the south door (dropping down to get there).

Of course the thing follows you in here too. Take a right and throw it on the west ledge and go this way. Clawshot up and get one of the last Pieces of Heart in the game. Get ready to show off your dodging skills. First of all, the Wall Master is probably just waiting for you outside so when you throw the Sol back into the middle of the room, prepare to shoot three arrows at the Wall Master to stun him. Grab the Sol now and run south, dodging Deku Babas and Shadowlings if you can. If you get hit you’ll drop the Sol so be prepared to get it back (shooting the Wall Master again too).

You are now on the exterior. Go up the bridge and you’ll see Twili return to their normal state around the Sol. In the center you can place the Sol in one of the spots – one more Sol and we can see Zant! Go east and step on the glowing green square and it’ll take you east. Get off and go north and through the door.

In this room you’re going to want to Clawshot onto that ceiling target and then drop down on the floating platform. Jump across to a normal platform and as you go north you’ll see 4 more floating platforms. A Zant Mask is here too so try to get close enough to it to kill it – it’ll reveal a Small Key treasure right by a 50 rupee treasure. Just go through the locked north door now.

Run ahead and into the twilight to be a Wolf again. Kill the three Shadow Beings and then you’ll have to kill several of the Zant Masks and a treasure is revealed. Go to the north and Clawshot north and then you can look around and Clawshot around the ceiling, getting treasures. The treasure that appeared was a small Key on the east part of the room and on the west is the Dungeon Map for the Palace of Twilight. The other chests have rupees but I’ve had rupees maxed out for some time so…Go through the locked north door.

Another Zant Image in this room. You know the drill – attack it when it begins to summon creatures (or in this phase, throw fireballs your way as well). This one also sent a bunch of Shadow Beings at me. Once he’s taken enough Jump attacks get the Sol again and use the same strategy (put Sol in center – run up bridge – Clawshot Sol -exit). This time there is a shadow being and several Shadowlings to bother you.

Run to the centyer and place the Sol in there. Kill the Shadowlings and Shadow Being and then run back to the beginning and Clawshot your way up. That’s the only way you can go on the raised platform now. Clawshot the Sol from the top and then exit via dropping down south and then the door.

In this room the Wall Master is right on your ass. Quickly drop the Sol and shoot the Wall Master three times. Get past the four light platforms going left to right, and if you fall then you’ll have to continue south and ride an elevator up. Your goal is between those two glowing orbs. They will make another light platform that takes you to the door south – Keese go after you along the way so carefully elude them. Enter the south door.

Bring the Sol over and put it in the other hole (right the light platform over). Once this happens you get the Light Sword.

Go to the previous room now that you have the Light Sword. You can cut through the darkness on the lower part of this first east room – an elevator appears on the southwest and southeast – the southeast leads to a Piece of Heart cove and the southwest has a Purple Rupee. Leave this area now (light the two orbs with your sword to create the light platform again).

Now you can continue north in this room, fighting off the darkness with your sword. There are Shadow Bird enemies around here too. The big fog after them can be lifted by a spin attack but hurry because it comes back.

North through the door and now you’re in another room where you head north. Fight through the enemies and the fog and at the opposite end of the room you can see two Sol. Take them and throw them to the left and right and you’ll see the indentations when you use the Light Sword. Climb up the ramp and then hit the orb to light it and get on the light platform. Take this to the east ledge and kill all of the Zant Masks in the way. Get the treasure (Small Key) that emerges. Go to the three Orbs and Spin attack all three, and a light platform appears that takes you to the upper west door. It is locked so use your Small Key.

Lots of enemies up here, Shadow Birds and Beings. To to the west ledge and kill the Shadow Being and then light both orbs. Take the light platform to the south unattached part of the room. Kill a Zant Mask here and hit the orbs again and then you’ll be on a light platform going back. Lots of Zant Masks to kill around here probably around 6 of them. When they are all dead, a Small Key appears. There is still something to do here though. See to the east where there is a treasure on the map (thanks to the Compass) well you can get east with a Spin Attack and then an immediate Clawshot on the target on the wall. Then start doing a bunch of Clawshot’s with your Double Clawshot until you get to the top (beware Shadow Birds). The Boss Key for Palace of Twilight is here. Go through the door on the northeast now.

In this room go north to begin a battle against four Shadow Beings. Quickly dispatch them and then go to where there are four orbs and do a spinning attack to get an elevator to appear. Take it up and you’ll see four new light platforms appear – jump to the west one on the minimap and then take that until two more platforms appear. Take the northern-most one and this will go near a platform that you can get to if you jump west.

Now kill the Deku Baba here and jump north and right this platform until you can Clawshot the wall. Kill the Zant Mask and then get back on that Clawshot Target. You’ll see another target on the ceiling so get here and lower yourself onto the higher light platform. Take this back to the other side and Clawshot that way and then you have another Zant Mask to kill. After he dies a Small Key can be procurred. A new light platform opens up and you can take it until you get go through a Locked Door to the north.

Go north through the fog and Shadow Beings and you’ll be at the Boss’ door.

Usurper King Zant is here to kill you once and for all. You get a lot of backstory here. Zant will then teleport you through lots of past stages you’ve played, beginning at the Diabada area in Forest Temple. He shoots fireballs at you fast and you can either sidestep them or block them. He disappears and then reappears to do the same thing shortly thereafter. The trick is to start moving away from him right away but throw the Gale Boomerang before he shoots at you and then move away and it’ll hopefully hit him and stun him. He’ll fall and then bounce towards you on land. Pull your sword out and L Target him and get ready for several Jump attacks. Repeat this and you’ll find yourself in a fight in the area in Goron Mines that you fought Biggoron.

Have your Iron Boots on right when this switches so you don’t fall off from his stomping. This one is actually pretty easy – you may be better off just not having Iron Boots on at all since after about 4 stomps he starts shooting fireballs at you again and you’ll need to dodge these and then attack him while he rests for a few seconds. It’s better to just not have the boots on because you don’t have to waste time taking them off and instead you can start attacking him right at the end of his fireball session, getting off about 4 or 5 jump attacks. He’ll teleport soon after to the water where you fought Morpheel.

Of course have the Zuna Tunic on (I always wear it for some reason, despite it being weak against fire / ice) and then the Iron Boots too. In this battle you’ll see huge Masks of Zant that come up from the ground. More of them come out as you do damage to Zant. Anyway, you’ll want to look into these Masks to see which one has Zant and then dodge his fireballs and quickly Clawshoot him to you and start Jump Attacking until he teleports and repeats.

You are now where you fought the Baboon in Forest Temple. Run around with him and dodge his fireball attacks – then roll two times into his pillar and he’ll fall down. Begin the jump attacks and a few times and he’s gone.

Now you’re in Snowpeak Ruins. Run around on the ice and giant Zant will try to fall on you. When he misses, get that Ball and Chain out and begin to hit his foot – try to time it right so that he doesn’t step on your head. He’ll begin to hop around and shrink smaller than he is. Try to hit him as quick as possible because if you don’t he gets big again (and after you get some attacks on him he’ll turn big again). Continue this until he’s done.

Now you’re in Hyrule Field in what will likely be the final battle. He has knives now that he attacks you with – try to side jump around him then Jump Attack him. After this though he’ll start spinning at you and you’ll need to be very quick to elude him – still, he’ll likely get you a few times, but just make sure you’re ready for when he winds down and pauses for like 5 seconds afterwards – get your Jump Attacks in. Now he’ll start mixing his attacks up but just catch him when you can get behind him or when he’s stopped. You’ll eventually get Zant and when you do he’ll go on about Ganon and how he’ll be revived. Get your Heart Piece (should be your 20th) and then have Midna warp you out (step on the yellow floor switch to the south). You’re now back at the Mirror Chamber in Hyrule.

There shouldn’t be much left for you to do here in Hyrule. There is one thing that you can complete though (and could have done earlier) and it is the Cave of Ordeals.

Gerudo Mesa Cave of Ordeals

Warp here and it’s right by you. Enter and you’ll begin a huge set of trials pitting you against all sorts of monsters.

There are fifty floors in all here. In turn there are 5 Great Fairy’s that you meet and after you talk to each one, they will send Fairies out to different areas of Hyrule. You can also talk to them to exit if you’d like.

This is some of the hardest fighting in the entire game, if not the toughest. Several things to keep in mind. To get through the entire thing, you’ll want all of your bottles full of healing supplies. Having 1000 Rupees helps and the Magic Armor is a must. How you utilize your Magic Armor is paramount in you succeeding.

The real tough fights get to when you’re at about floor 30 and higher. Then you begin to come across many Gibdos, Ice Warriors, Giant Freezards, Dinolfols, Dragon Knight and Dark Nuts. The last two floors in particular come to mind as extremely difficult, with two Dragon Knights and a Dark nut on floor 49 and on the last floor there are three Dark Nuts. Sheesh. Even with a well timed Magic Armor usage you’re going to have trouble with these two floors.

There are also three Poes in the Cave of Ordeals. One on floor 17, one on floor 34, and one on floor 44. For Leevers, Mini Stalfos, Bubbles and rats use Spin Attacks. Use Ball and Chain on Freezards, Ice Warriors, and Stalfos. Use Wolf Link to bite the Gibdos. Dark Nuts and Dinolfols require hand to hand skill (basically, dodge left to right (and back) and then counterattack at the rare openings).

After going through all 50 floors you receive the Great Fairy Tears and then are transported back to Lake Hylia Lanayru spring.

Hyrule Castle Town

Time to warp here and finish things up. Jovani will give you a Silver Rupee for getting all the poes for him (if you got all 60).

North from the central square and you’ll get a scene with Midna and a path to Hyrule Castle will open up. Go through it north and push through the doors and you’ll be in a courtyard type area. Go to the northwest door and you’ll be blocked – kill all the birds and Bokoblins and then go through the door.

You’ll have to work your way northwest now and fight through some more Bokoblins. Now go northwest and pull the chain to open the door. In the northeast is King Bulblin and he’s exactly like he was the last battle – Slow and strong. Dodge his attacks and do some Jump Attacks and regular combos to put him down. He gives you a Small Key and rides off. Get a Red Rupee chest and then return to the courtyard and this time go through the northeast (not northwest) door.

For this area you’re going to need to clear the Archer’s posts with a Ball and Chain or a boar. First of all get one of the boars in the west part of the area and then take it east and charge through any fences. In the northwest you’ll reach a gate and if you Gale Boomerang the ground where the leaves are you’ll reveal a pattern. Alright well go east and south a little towards the pillars. Face west and lock onto the west-most pillar, and then the one to your right and then left, and finally the one behind you and those four will open the gate. Grab the Dungeon Map.

You’re on a raised area so take it south and into the main courtyard area. From here go west a little so you can take the exit going northeast (it leads to one room). Enter this large room and a bunch of Bokoblins and Lizalfos will need to be killed. After this a Compass appears and then you can Clawshot onto the Chandelier, drop down and grab it. Clawshot from this chandelier to the north one and through the door (lower the Clawshot to reach the second chandelier).

In this room a Dark Nut is your opponent so kill him. Now you have some freedom. Throw your Gale Boomerang at the Torch to stop the fire and then a ramp near the treasure will appear. If you throw the Gale Boomerang and get on the ramp you can go up and get the Purple Rupee. Go east through the door.

Get your Lantern out. Shoot the picture near the south door and you’ll see the order that you have to light the lanterns. If you’re facing south, light the one in front and to the right of you and then behind you and to the left. Then light the one behind you and to the right and then in front of you and to the left. That should be all four and the gate should open – go through.

Kill the two Dinolfols and go through the southeast door. Continue southeast and you’ll be gated in and you’ll have to defeat a Dragon Knight with your Clawshot. Now go through and get the Small Key and return back but this time go to the southwest corner. It seems you’ll have to deal with Bokoblin Archers and Lizalfos but your friends Shad and others help you out. Get the Boss Key. Go to the south middle and enter the locked door.

Have Wolf Link out for the first part of this. there are a lot of Undead Rats and also you can see Ghosts with your senses – you want to follow these ghosts until you get to a stairwell. Have Wolf Link jump up this with a running jump to ensure he makes these jumps. At the top are two Lizalfos that you must defeat and then go up further for two more Lizalfos (except this time you’ll have to Clawshot the torch gratings to get up). Now you get to ride up spinner up the stairs but jump from one side to the next to avoid the spikes – at the top is a Dark Nut. Dodge his attacks and kill him and you’ll have two doors. Go through the south door.

You are at the top of Hyrule Castle now but the Chapel. Save and go up. Ganondorf is here to talk some shit. When you gain control you begin to fight an evil Zelda, Ganon’s Puppet Zelda. This battle is very simple – Evil Zelda will either use a flying sword attack that can be dodged or blocked, or she can use an area-based attack that damages you or she can throw a Yellow Ball at you. This Yellow Ball can be reflected back with your sword to hit her – if you’re too far away she’ll hit it back at you until one of you misses – get closer and you’re more apt to hit her. Do it three times and she’s restored back to her normal self.

Don’t celebrate quite yet. Dark Beast Ganon is here. Ganon looks like a huge hog. At first the battle begins like Ganondorf in Forest Temple / Ocarina of Time. He chooses a teleport to come through and once it turns blue, shoot an arrow and you can knock him down. Now go up to him and start Jump Attacking and whatnot on his white belly (his weakness). He’ll get up and run around and do this again. Eventually he starts to dodge your arrows when he teleports. Instead change to Wolf Link and when he charges at you, hold A to have Midna grab Ganon. Now twist the stick left to right and back and forth and you’ll flip the boar Ganon. Go to his bell and start chewing on it and eventually that’ll be it for Dark Beast Ganon.

Zelda is restored after this battle. Now you begin in Hyrule Field with Zelda on Epona with Link. Your job is to keep close to Ganondorf here and when you are close enough to Dark Lord Ganondorf be sure to have him L-targetted as you can then have Zelda shoot him with a light arrow. He will be stunned from the Light Arrow and you can go in and get a Spin Attack. Do this three times and he’s gone. Watch out for the Phantoms he sends at you and he’ll also change direction quickly at times (not to mention his horse is fast as hell).

Dark Lord Ganondorf now fights you on foot. As you can imagine he is the top sword user in the game and he is both quick and powerful (and his sword has great reach). Try to spin behind him and then just start attacking. He has a ton of HP so you’ll need lots of combos (preferably jump attacks but they’re harder to get off and he tends to block these). He’ll then start to disappear and try to jump on you, so roll away from this. You may get in a tapping duel with him – if you tap A as fast as you can. After you’ve done enough damage (it’ll be a while) you get the option to do an Ending Blow

and you can then kill Dark Lord Ganondorf and the ending begins. Midna returns to her initial form and more things happen (I won’t spoil anything else). Enjoy it.

Sacred Grove

As you leave the Temple of Time move the statues to reveal a Poe and a Piece of Heart. If you leave before doing this your Dominion Rod will lose it’s effectiveness and you’ll have to wait until it’s restored.

Kakariko Village

Enter Renado’s house. He tells you of Shad, a friend of Telma. You get Renado’s Letter and you are to give Renados letter to Telma at her bar. Telma sends you off to the doctor’s officer with an Invoice. Show it to the doctor in the northeast part of Hyrule Castle Town. Well it turns out this guy can’t help you but he gives you some clues on the Wooden Statue. Go into the back of the Doctor’s Office and move the box to the corner – you can sniff and forget the Reekfish Scent and you’ll learn the Medicine Scent.

Leave town and then re-enter and follow the scent. It leads near Telma’s Bar to her cat Louise. Undead Dogs stole it from her. Leave Hyrule Castle Town to the south and you’ll encounter about 12 Undead Dogs. Use a charge attack – they aren’t too violent and after you defeat them all you’ll get back the Wooden Statue.

Show this Wooden Statue to Ilia and she’ll regain a little bit of her memory. The gorons then have a plan and mark a spot on your map beyond the Bridge of Eldin.

Bridge of Eldin

Warp here and run northwest until you see a tunnel (look south as you run west). Darbus will punch through some boulders here and you’ll be at a secret village. 20 Bokoblins are here and it’s a combination of the archers and melee attackers. Bow and Arrow works best and be sure to check the sides for all 20. Afterwards you meet Impaz. He gives you Ilia’s Charm.

Kakariko Village

After you have warped back to Kakariko Village and display the Ilia’s Charm in front of (who else) Ilia. After a bit of reminiscing you get Horse Call so that you can get Epona whenever you’d like. Ilia then hints at what you have to do – bring your Rod to the hidden village.

Hidden Village (Eldin Province)

Return back here (Bridge of Eldin – northwest). As a wolf charge through one of the southeast buildings windows. Clawshot onto the netting and then you’ll be on the upper area of the building – have your wolf charge through an eastern window and you’ll be by a Cuccoo and a Howling Stone. For the Howling Stone this is a more complicated song. It starts in the middle and then bottom at 1, middle at 3, top at 4, bottom at 5, top at 7, middle at 7.5, top at 8, middle at 8.5. This is the last hidden ability and we’ll get it in front of Hyrule Castle later.

Talk to the Cuccoo with the Wolf Link and you’ll start talking to cats (must talk to all 20)! Finding all 20 can actually be difficult. Reaching the southwest one on the balcony is tough. More or less you need to check every building and every alley – so talk to all of the ones on the ground (and the one on the boxes just ahead of you) and then start using your Clawshot to get on top of buildings. Once you find 20 talk to the Cuccoo and you can get a Piece of Heart by Impaz’s. Also once this minigame is over Clawshot to the northwest building to kill a Poe on the north side.

At Impaz’s house show him the Dominion Rod and he knows you’re the Messenger to the heavens. He gives you the Ancient Sky Book.

Kakariko Village

Warp back here and go to Renado’s Basement. Show Shad the Ancient Sky Book and then he’ll restore power to the Dominion Rod. You also have lots of marks on your map.

Bridge of Eldin

As you run north look to your left (west on the map) and you’ll see a statue. Clear the Bokoblin Archers and then move the statue with the Dominion Rod. Make sure the statue doesn’t fall off by release control of it and then go on the spot it was on. You will find One Sky Character. You need more though.

First of all go to the north end of the bridge and get that statue and bring it south. There is a place on the west end of the south bridge that you can set the Guardian Statue in and then jump on the Guardian Statue and further west so that you can go up a ladder and get a Piece of Heart.

Faren Province – Faren Woods South

Warp to South Faron Woods. Go north west of Coro’s Lantern oil refill and you’ll see a stone you can blow up. Go deep into this passage and you’ll see another statue you can control and move out of it’s hole – get the one Sky Character. Don’t leave this area quite yet. You can make use of the statue again so bring it south and you’ll see a hole in the ground that would fit it perfectly. Get on the stone near it and do some midna jumps up some trees. At the top continue west into an area with a Piece of Heart and then warp to Lake Hylia.

Lake Hylia

Take the normal flight at Fyer’s. Go through Farbo’s and then northeast to the red dot. You’ll see a Guardian Statue on a ledge – use the Dominion Rod to pull it out and then put it right under the vines – use your Clawshot and then you’ll be on the ivy and drop down to the statue – jump across and pick up the Once Ancient Character for the book.

Kakariko Gorge

Just teleport here and run north to the red dot for one Sky character. Not much else to do but you can bring the statue a little southeast of where it stands and then climb up further south – you can now jump across these ledges but you’ll have to move the statue again once you use it the first time to position it under a second ledge. An Orange Rupee is your reward.

Hyrule Field West

Go southwest of the Hyrule Castle Town’s warp and then you’ll reach the stone area. You’ll see the guardian statue so move it east so that you can jump west onto the statue and then onto the ledge where the statue was. Get the one Sky character and then on the other side you can do the same thing for an Orange Rupee.

Since we did the final Howl we can go to the Gold Wolf in Hyrule Castle Town – head directly north from the center square and you’ll come to the final Golden Wolf so that you can learn the seventh and last hidden ability. He gives you the Great Spin – but you can only use it when your health is “brimming” full.

Gerudo Mesa

Head east after you warp here and you’ll see the dark ancient statue ahead. Pull it down and to the east a little, where you can climb up. On this structure jump on the statue and then further west to where the statue was standing. You will complete the Ancient Sky Book with all the missing characters. The chest on the other platform in this area is another Orange Rupee, if you want it.

Kakariko Village

Jump back down into the pit in Renado’s House to talk to Shad. Show him the Filled Sky Book. He’ll be upset and run off – but you can move the statue with the Dominion Rod now. Go to the back here and you’ll come across a huge cannon. Shad follows you. When you go up to it and try to Warp it, you can’t because Shad is there. Talk to him and he goes. Warp the cannon to Lake Hylia.

Lake Hylia

After you warp here go to Fyer. He needs 300 Rupees to renovate the cannon. Give it to him (those Orange Rupees) around the Sky City book parts should get you there if you’re having problems. Clawshot onto the back of it and you’ll be sent off into the Heavens.

The City of the Sky

You will hear this is the sky city of the Oocca. When you gain control you’ll come to find there are powerful gusts of wind in this city. In the water as you land you can put on your Iron Boots and find a Red Rupee and Water Bombs underneath. Run to the north and you’ll enter the City in the Sky. The door is shut though so go east to the City Shop. Ooccoo joins inside and you can buy a lot of random stuff in here if you want.

Go back north but this time look up – you’ll see a Blue Crystal – Clawshot it and the gate opens. In the following room you’ll need to use an Oocca to fly across the gaps. Clawshot onto the Ivy to get on the middle – west ledge and then fly to the north and kill the Helmasaurs and leave north.

There is a giant Helmasaur King in this room. Just get behind them – they are slower but you can’t Clawshot their front away this time. After it is defeated go to the southwest part of the room and you can Clawshot your way onto the balcony there.

Drop down and start spinning on the south indentation. A bridge forms to the north. Clawshot onto the ivy heading north now and then get on the bridge (you may end up L Targetting a flying creature that can bring you wherever you’d like). Go through the west door (again be careful with the wind).

Take the west path and look up and Clawshot the west target. You’ll drop down in a cage with a Small Key. Clawshot the wall back and run across the bridge in the previous room. The dragon you saw before will come and destroy that bridge but just enter the east door.

Clawshot one of the Ivy pillars and climb around and drop down. Run east and past the blue tiles and through the east door.

As you enter take a right (travel south on the minimap) and you’ll have some Deku Babas to kill and a Spinner to Spin. Go across the bridge now and enter the locked door.

Run to the southeast part of the room and take out the Helmasaur – look northwest to see a crystal that you need to Clawshot and then return north and then east. With the Iron Boots on you can pass the first gust and then Clawshot past the blue tiles onto the ivy pillar up and to your right. Enter the east door. Get the Dungeon Map of the Sky City and then return to the previous room. Go south in this room past the blue tiles and through the south door.

Jump across the platforms as you head east. Watch out for the wind as it changes where it comes from. You’ll also see Tile Lurkers around – use that Gale Boomerang. Make your way to the southeast and enter. There are two Dinolfols in this room. Kill them with a Helm Splitter or Arrows (or knock them off the cliff) and you’ll open a gate with Oocca’s inside. Look up and to the south (on the wall) and you’ll se Ivy to pull up to. Clawshot there and then onto the chandelier inside as it’ll start some wind in the bottom part of the room. Grab an Oocca and wait for the wind to start blowing – jump straight north and the wind will make you hit the ceiling and you can continue through the top north door.

Grab an Oocca and fly far to the west to get a Purple Rupee ( you have to hit the two Wind spots). Get to the middle platform (where the second Wind Spot is) and grab an Oocca and fly north and then west. On this spot you’ll see another Chandelier you need to Clawshot onto. Do so and a wind spot emerges again – fly the Oocca east past the two wind spots and through the crack – enter the north door.

This room is tricky. You are at the top floor and below you are several floors that you can access by flying around with Oocca’s. Your first destination should be the first floor – east door. Be careful of the gusts of wind that come and go, and also the birds that will hit you off your Oocca.

Put your Iron Boots on and Clawshot onto the chandelier to stop the wind. Wind your Clawshot down and drop down eventually – you’ll start a battle with a sub boss the Dragon Knight. When he is about to attack – he seems to hesitate with his sword and shield – use the Clawshot to pull him towards you. Then start getting in Jump attacks. Repeat this process and he’ll fly out the window.

The fight is basically the same except the Dragon Knight flies out of one of the three windows in an attempt to surprise you maybe. You’re better off just aiming your Clawshot yourself – it’ll be quicker and more accurate. A few more Jump Attack / Helm Splitter combos and he’s dead. On the east side a gate has opened and you can grab the treasure – another Clawshot – so you have the Double Clawshot. Go on the far east Clawshot target and roll the Clawshot down – you’ll get a good look at the Ivy that you can climb up.

Take the west door and you’ll be at the multi-levelled floor that you had to use an Oocca to travel to the bottom. Now that you have the Double Clawshot though you can make your way back up to the top – you don’t want to go all the way up though. You’re looking for one of those Chandeliers that you can Clawshot and it’s on the west wall after you go up a level or two. Look up as you are travelling on this west side and eventually you’ll see a Clawshot target above you – Clawshot here and then look west and you’ll see the chandelier. A gate opens when you Clawshot it – lower your Clawshot and then use the Double Clawshot to grapple into the now-open gate.

This room requires fast use of the Double Clawshot. See the pillars with targets in the middle? You have to use these back and forth until you get to the last one on the other side – get off of it and grab the treasure (Compass) that you see. Take the nearby door.

You’re outside now and you need to Clawshot to the other side – stop and kill the Deku Baba’s with your Double Clawshot and on the far side you’ll see some Ivy you can Clawshot and climb up. Go through that west door now.

You’ve been here – run across the blue tiles and then Double Clawshot to the west door. In this room you have to Clawshot the Peahats along the way. You can get to the west side of the bridge now and enter the door.

Run to the west and clawshot the northwest target. Drop down onto a ledge and prepare to do those falling pillars with clawshot targets. It’s not hard and at the far east wall just drop down. Look north and you can Clawshot through the hole in the wall – look up and clawshot the farther east target – now you can look into that cubby across from you and Double Clawshot the grated area. Drop down and kill the Deku Babas and get the Arrow chest. Continue along and clawshot your way to a cage that you can drop down and you’ll be on another ledge. You’ll see Deku Babas on the roof here so Clawshot them. Clawshot to where the target is and Clawshot the Blue Crystal – it turns yellow and the gate opens – Clawshot into this area and start going up. Grab the 20 rupees south of here and then go north for the door.

Another Giant Deku Baba but you haven’t fought them in a while. Kill it with regular attacks and jump attacks and once the head is gone, throw a bomb in it to kill it. Kill all the little Deku Babas as well. Clawshot the west target and then the ivy that you can see – be quick because the pillar will fall.

Continue along this way and you’ll get to a very thin bridge – slowly go across it and get the arrow chest and you’ll eventually have to kill an orange Deku Baba and you’ll be at a dead end. You can grab the ledge and go across (can’t jump on it though) but Keese will attack you. Because of this you may want to kill the Keese first and then grab across – it is a Piece of Heart but another Deku Baba guards it. Return back to the other side of the ledge and look up to get on a platform with the Clawshot – clawshot onto the following platform and look north for some Ivy to climb to. From this ledge – look to the middle and Clawshot that target – lower from here and you’ll be on a platform with a Dinofols. Kill it and exit south.

Look up. You see a Peahat flying around eventually so Clawshot it to ride it north – clawshot onto another peahat to Clawshot past another wall. Go west for a Red Rupee. Look south and you’ll see an island with a Peahat but you need to wait for another Peahat (one further east) and Clawshot it and ride it south – drop down and get the 50 rupee chest and the Poe with Wolf Link.

Get back on that Island Peahat and then the one that goes by the island – but stay on this Peahat for awhile as if you lower the chain you can pass through the wall flying north – immediately L target the next Peahat and get on it. You’ll need to lower the chain and pass through the wall going north again but stay on all the way to the north ledge (if you fall off you can get back on the peahat and there are bombs on the floor and Deku Babas). Enter that door on the east eventually though.

Grab onto the first Peahat you see and then Clawshot to three more. At the fourth one change your direction to the southwest and a few more Peahats this way and you’ll be at a door. Enter the door and get the Piece of Heart on the other side.

Back in the Peahat room, just L Target the first 5 Peahats and drop down. You’ll see Ivy to the northwest so grapple up it right away. Turn into wolf link once you’re on the ledge and go across. Run counterclockwise (take a right once you get off the rope) and you’ll reach some Ivy. Shoot the Skullwalltula’s and put an Arrow in the Buzzard across from you.

Climb up the ivy, go across and get the Red Rupee. Turn back into the wolf and head across the tightropes until you get to an island with a Poe and a Purple Rupee. Return back to the first tightrope where you initially went counter clockwise – this time go clockwise and shoot the Buzzards along the path and you’ll reach a door (on the east side but facing the center structure).

In here, defeat those damn King Helmasaurs and careful of the wind blowing around. Latch onto the cage on the south wall and then roll the Clawshot down a little. Look ahead and you’ll see a chandelier you can Clawshot onto. Put your Iron Boots on and the chandelier will act as a switch, shutting off the fan blowing up. Drop down and grab the Big Key for the City in the Sky. In the southwest you can drop down to a different area.

Use the Clawshot on the upper wall and then descend below past the fan. Don’t drop down but instead look north and you’ll see a chandelier – Clawshot there and get those Iron Boots on. A fan begins to blow. Drop down and go through the north door. Here you’ll have to use the Clawshot on these rotating cages until you get to the other side. If you make it all the way to the fan’s cage you can drop down for a Purple Rupee. Drop down a little bit and go through the north door.

There are two Dragon Knights that are here to kill you. Just use the Clawshot strategy from before, they should go down easily – just make sure the other one isn’t charging you when you’re fighting one of the two. After this look up on the south wall and you can pull yourself on the cage. Clawshot the other way now but go up (on the rotating caged thing that isn’t rotating). Look around and you’ll see a crystal that is blue, Clawshot it so that it is yellow and it will rotate. Now just Clawshot your way up until you get to the last rotating platform that isn’t rotating. Another crystal needs to be Clawshot and turned yellow and then it’ll rotate and you can clawshot above the door and enter.

Clawshot your way onto the caged grating and then to your right on the ivy. Climb the ivy and a boss fight ensues against Twilit Dragon Argorok. He is suspectible to your Clawshot, his tail that is. However you need the Iron Boots on to damage him.

You’ll pull him to the ground and destroy some of his armor. He basically rushes you for his first attack and you probably won’t be able to get his tail here. The second time he comes at you he’ll blow wind at you but with the Iron Boots you won’t get moved and can Clawshot onto him after L Targetting. Keep those Iron Boots on to drag him down. Two of these hits will send him into his second phase.

Twilight Dragon Argorok his armor off, it begins raining and several Peahats appear. You’re going to need to fly to the top of these pillars – just Clawshot between two of them. At the top you’ll climb up and then L target the Peahats. Now you can go clockwise or counterclockwise – just try to avoid his fire breath so go the opposite way and if you’re fast enough you can get to the back of him. When you can see the flashing red thing on his back you’ll want to Clawshot onto it but L Targetting is kinda hard so you’ll need to pause and actually aim the Clawshot to do it. Once you pull onto him start attacking like mad and he’ll go down and you’ll repeat. Towards the end he’ll switch it up and start blowing fire at you the other way, so anticipate this and when you see him stop breathing fire in one direction, immediately change yours and you’ll be ahead of him.

Get the heart piece and the final piece of the Twilight Mirror, the Fourth Shard.

Snowpeak Top

Go east through the door (away from the Snowpeak Ruins) and back in the cave. At the beginning of this cave are two Ice patches that you can now destroy with the Ball and Chain. One reveals a Poe and both of them have a torch – light the torchs to get an Orange Rupee. At this point you should almost certainly have enough for the Magic Armor.

Zora’s Domain

Warp here but go south and exit. Just southwest of here (take the lower path) and you’ll see a cave you can enter after you blow up the entrance. When you get in, use that Ball and Chain to open it up even more.

Block Puzzles, our favorite. Okay the southeast block is Block 1, the southwest block is Block 2 and the northwest block is Block 3. Push block 3 south and then push block 1 north. Take Block 2 and push it east, north, west, and finally south. Take the block it just hit, Block 3, and push that one east. Now we can take Block 1 and push it south so that Block 2 is set up to go east onto the switch. This opens the gate north.

Puzzle two. We have the same three spots – Block 1 = southeast, Block 2 = southwest and Block 3 = northwest. Take Block 1 and push it north and then Block 3 south and then east. Block 1 should go west, south and east to hit Block 3. Now push the block it hit north, west, south and east to be on the switch. Push block 2 north finally, and then east and south to have the gate open.

Last puzzle with Southeast – Block 1, Southwest Block 2 and Northwest Block 3. Take Block 1 and go north and west. Have block 2 go east, north and west so that they are all lined up. Get behind Block 3 and push it south, east, west and north to get on the other side of the rotation. Take Block 3 again now and go south, and then push Block 1 (far west block) south, east and north so it connects with Block 2. Block 2 should then be sent west, south, east and north to hit the switch. That is the final puzzle so collect your Piece of Heart it was well earned.

Hyrule Castle Town

Go to Telma’s Bar and speak with Telma about Rusl. Go to the map to hear he’s by the Sacred Grove and they’ll mark it down on your map.

You probably got some mail (I got one from the Agitha’s Bug Castle and one from Yeto.

Peak Province Snowpeak

Take the Snowpeak Warp and go up with Hylian Link to Yeto. Run into the tree and then accept his offer to race. He’s easy to beat and you should practice with him – you can learn of the key shortcut.

In the second race you race his wife Yeta. She is fast and you absolutely need to use the shortcut to beat her. You basically need a flawless race and she’ll still pass you at one point. Just keep to the shortcut and do it good and you should be able to hold on – you get a Piece of Heart for victory.

Faron Province – North Faron Woods

Teleport here and then go north and you’ll see Rusl on the left up the plateau. Speak with him about the Temple of Time and some other stuff. He then gives you a Golden Cucco to jump with. Pick it up and jump across the gap ahead and land on the branch. You’ll then see the path laid out for you.

After a few jumps you reach a spot with a Bridge – use that Gale Boomerang to get the bridge to switch and then jump on it. Switch it again and then go east and south with the Cucco. Two more jumps to make but dodge the swingings blades that are there to mess you up. The Howling Stone here is probably activated already but do so if it isn’t.

South of here is the Sacred Grove. It’s another little Skull Kid and he summons some friends. Just look for him and take him out. He runs pretty far into the grove for the first hit, and then go back a little and you’ll see an area you can get to through water (under a waterfall) and if you go this way you find a Poe Soul. To hit the Skull Kid the next two times you need the Bow and Arrow and look around – he’s elevated both times and on the third hit you’ll have to climb up to that area that’s block off by a tree stump – look to your right and up and you’ll see the Skull Kid at the top of the trees. Shoot him and he runs away to the same stone grove you fought him in before. Kill him with your arrows and he’ll tell you of a secret place.

When Skull Kid opens it up, follow it. You’ll see a boulder facing north – push it to open your way in. Jump down and to your right and go through the tunnel (the block you pushed will allow you to get back up) and then you can see the Male Snail on the ceiling here. Gale Boomerang it down and pick it up. Go north all the way and there will be a poe and you can put in the Master Sword where you found it. A door opens and you take the Master Sword back.

Return back to where you saw the door open but first Shadow Beings will intercept you – defeat them and you have your warp. Take that door and you’ll be transported to the Temple of Time. Don’t be hasty – take a quick right and look south to see the last bug, the Female Snail.

Hyrule Castle Town

Leave Temple of Time for a quick trip to Agitha’s to give her the rest of the bugs (all 24 with those two Snails). Despite the rupees she already gives you, you’re also going to get the Giant Wallet for holding a massive 1000 rupees.

Sacred Grove

Teleport here and go west – you’ll be where you fought the skull kid multiple times. Blow up the center area and get the poe that you just revealed. After this be Wolf Link and dig in the center to find a cave. Kill all the Deku Babas inside including the one on the ceiling in the back and you’ll acquire a Piece of Heart.

Temple of Time

Now Warp back here and enter as the Hylian Link. At the back you can insert the Master Sword. This makes a light bridge appear and Ooccoo is here also.

In the following room you’ll see a statue ahead and a door next to it. Midna mentions how strange it is not to have another statue on the other side. If you use your Senses you’ll see that there was a statue there before. To continue on, go to the southeast a bit and pick up the dark statue – bring this to the opposite end and place it on the switch to open a path going southwest. As you climb up the stairs you get to the very south – however don’t go through there and instead continue past down the east stairs. Light the torches you see and grab the treasure for a Small Key. Head back and go south to see Ooccoo – he again joins you on your adventure. Go through the locked door now.

In this room, kill the Cyclops Skulltula and then get a pot and put it on the center switch – gates open and you’ll have to kill another Cyclops Skulltula. The south chest has some arrows for you and then to continue you’re going to need to go past the east gate and then turn back and shoot the pot with an arrow. The gates will switch and the one leading to that room will close and the one further east opens.

As you run up the stairs you’ll encounter a Lizalfos. Further up the stairs is a room with three Lizalfos’. Try to separate them and not draw all of their attention towards you. There is also a flying thing that may pester you and an Armos Knight that has a high defense. It’ll go nuts and explode once it’s about to die. The Armos Knight reveals the Temple of Time Dungeon Map. Now that things have slowed down grab the Red Rupee in the south chest and a pot next to it. Bring the pot to the north switch and do the same with the other pot – once the two switches have something on them the gates will open.

In this next area go to the south and kill the three Lizalfos Enemies and then go up the stairs. You’ll have to use the Spinner for a bit to get across the broken path. When you get to the top turn south and go to the center. Youre going to want to get the statue on the east path here but avoid those spikes you see. Place the statue onto a switch in the south and then enter the very middle part of this area through the north opening. You’ll see a lever you can push and if you’re looking south at it you’ll want to push it counter-clockwise to move the platform down a level. Grab the dark statue to the west and then set it near the center platform so that it travels back up with you when you push the level clockwise. Set this second statue on the second switch to reveal a platform. You’ll notice you can’t get up there. Well, the trick is to set the statue down and then run on the platform in the 1 second it stays low after you place the statue down. Once you’re up here, go through the south door.

In this room you’ll have to fight two more Armos Knights – use the Backslice or a bomb arrow or something to attack them from behind to damage them. On the west part of the room a Small Key emerges after you defeat them. Get the red rupee in the far south and return.

In this center area with the elevator, go through the locked north door. Hit the Green Crystal and it’ll turn red. Kill the Beamos in front of you with an arrow and then go in the next room and shoot the crystal through the hole – the Crystal will be Green now and the west door is opening, revealing a Beamos and a new path. Arrow the Beamos and go west to get the Compass. Leave this little area and go up to the ring just near you. Shoot the crystal so that it is Red and then you can continue further west.

Kill some Lizalfos and you will be in a new area. Shoot the crystal in the northwest and you’ll open a passage with another Lizalfos and a Dinofols. This jerks are some of the toughest enemies in the entire game. They block lots of stuff and you’ll need to get them in the middle of their attacks or you’ll have to be quick and get behind them. Helm Splitter is the best though. After you get rid of him, shoot the Crystal again to go further south and fight another Dinofols. Same strategy – Helm Splitter, and then shoot the crystal again to finish south through a door.

In this room you have to defeat about 3 or 4 Cyclops Skulltulas and many Mini Skulltulas and you’ll know you killed all of your enemies when you get a purple rupee treasure. Take the north stair when you’re ready to a scale – you’ll notice that when Link steps on it it’ll go down.

Grab the statue and throw it onto the other scale so that you’re even – so basically Link = 2 statues. Now throw one of the statues back onto the first one once you jump on the second, and then just jump out. Go through the door.

Go east right away but watch for the spikes. You’ll fight three Lizalfos at the top that may prove difficult. Run south past a blade for a Small Key. Go northeast from here now and watch those rolling spikes. A statue is here fortunately, and if you place it on the switch nearby the electrocution field yields. Past this and you’ll have a ton of Tiny Skulltulas to kill and then two Armos Knights. The Armos Knights will open a gate after you defeat them and you get a purple rupee for clearing the area. Go west through the locked door now.

Dark Nut is the boss here. He is heavily armored – I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you that. Because of this it’s hard to get attacks on him even from behind – Backslice is helpful and so it attacking in mid-sidejump. When you do catch him off guard just start wailing away fast – using a jump attack will be too slow and he’ll guard by that time likely.

After you take all of his armor off a new battle occurs. He’s even harder to hit now and you have to dodge his attack before you can go at him – he does have less health so you only need a few combos. For defeating him you will get the Dominion Rod.

Now you get to use the Dominion Rod. Go outside of the alcove and shoot the statue above where the treasure is. You’ll have control of it and it’ll move as you do. Return east and then you’ll see a shining spot – get this statue on this spot and it’ll be transported somewhere. Exit out east.

The guard is here again. Take control of it once more and have it face the gate east – it’ll destroy the gate. Jump down and have it kill the Armos Knights – make sure they don’t explode on you though. Take the guardian and face him south and release control. Go north and regain control of him and step south onto the switch – your goal is to move south quick to get the statue on the elevated platform here.

So we can take the statue south down the stairs now. You see the electrical current? You’ll want to stay far away from the statue so that it can run to the switch and open it for you. Have it destroy the rolling spike barriers and then run to the west (down the stairs).

In this area have the statue destroy all the spike barriers and then the Beamos Statue – then have it go to the very south part. Now use the Dominion Rod to take control over one of the small dark statues on the west / east parts of the area. Move this statue onto the Beamos switch and then the path will rise for your Big Statue. Take control of your Big statue guy and move it into the Bell to get it into the next room. Take the north exit.

The statue will be just to your right so take control of it and bring it down near the scales. This part can be difficult. You need two statues and Link to equal the big guardian statue. So you’re going to want to want to throw the stone on the nearest weight to the far weight and then bring the statue on your weight. Now jump off and come back up via the stairs. Bring the big Guardian Statue on what was the far weight (now it’s the near weight) and then you’ll need to get four regular statues on the other weight so that you can get the big Guardian Statue over. Look up along the east wall to find 3 more statues (you need 2 more of them). Once its equal use the Dominion Rod from off the weights to pull the big Guardian Statue across and down the stairs to the bell for teleport. You are not to leave yet though – go back up to those weights and then you will notice you can jump on the weight near you and it still won’t go back down (cause there are four statues on the other one). Well climb on the nearby pillar and Clawshot to the spot you can see. Use the Spinner to go clockwise across and let go at the end. Further along for a Poe and a Red Rupee in the south – east is the exit.

In this small room you need to kill the two Helmasaurs and an Armos Knight. Do so and then Clawshot onto the far east wall. A Red Rupee is up here and four switches. Look up on the ledge to see a small dark statue and then use the Dominion Rod to pull it down. There are only three statues though – use a Helmasaur Helmet (Clawshot it up) and put it on the fourth switch. With something sitting on all four switches you can now get the Big Key and then go back to the last room.

Drop down and take the far west door. Run down the stairs and you’ll see the guardian on the other side of the gate. You can get the Piece of Heart in this room (it was my 15th total). Take control of the statue and move it north – then shoot the crystal. Now you can make your way to the middle area and the Statue will be by the electrical barrier. Use the Dominion Rod to get the Statue on top of the Switch and then you can go over there. Bow and Arrow the Crystal again and you can go north for the Piece of Heart.

Take the statue across (shoot the crystal when needed) and you’ll come to a door – destroy it with the statue. Continue to do this until you get to the bell to teleport the Guardian Statue, and then go through the southeast door.

You’re in the elevator room. Go to the top. Get the Guardian Statue, then go to the bottom floor with it. Kill all the Mini Skulltulas and move the Guardian Statue past the electrical field. How do you cross the electrical field though? Easy, go up a floor on the elevator and drop down. Kill the Lizalfos that litter this bottom floor. Take control of your guardian statue buddy and take him west to destroy the wall and kill a Poe. Go north with the Guardian Statue to teleport him.

Before going onward let’s get a Heart Piece. Go up the stairs and you’ll want to enter the south door (middle level of the elevator floor). You need two stone statues for the switches so you can enter. Clear this area and then go to the southwest – see the small statue on the opposite side of the fence? Take control of it and move it to the opposite end (there is a switch here). Now do the same to the other side but there isn’t a small statue up there. Change that by taking one from the center and throwing it up there (tap a fast to make sure it gets up there). With both switches down you get a Piece of Heart.

In the elevator room go to the bottom floor and go east. Clawshot your way past the first gate and then you can get the Guardian Statue out of here and to the southwest. Another gate to smash and then bring him west to the bell and then bring Link north to exit.

Bring that statue north now and into the spot where it’s been empty this entire time. The Temple of Time Door of Time will open now.

In this new area you’ll have to continue forward and jump across pits and avoid stuff. At the end is a gold gate and some small statues – throw a statue back across the pit and onto the switch. Go to the Golden Gate and kill the Cyclops Skulltula and then use the Dominion Rod to move the Statue away from the switch (so the other gold gate opens) and you can kill some more Cyclops Skulltulas and enter the main door. A fairy is in the pot nearby though.

Twilit Arachnid Armogohma

The Gohma name certainly resonates among Zelda gamers. This boss though is a joke, especially considering how far along in our journey we are.

Basically Twilit Arachnid Armogohma will use piercing lines of fire coming from it’s eye (the weak point) and will also release those mini skulltula enemies (not hard, and a more of a refreshment with heart pieces and arrows). To hurt Arachnid Armogohma, you just have to shoot it’s eye with an arrow and then go to the nearby Guardian and use the Dominion Rod to control the guardian and pretty the Dominion Rod button to attack – do this three times and you win. You can tell where the Armogohma is as it’ll be dark where it is (light everywhere else). After the third hit you’ll just have the eye and a bunch of skulltulas to deal with so attack it and you win.

Twilit Arachnid Armogohma is defeated and you have another Twilight Mirror shard. The last shard is said to be in the sky!

Hyrule Castle Town

Warp to Hyrule Castle Town. You’ll get a letter from Barnes about new bombs. For now head to Malo Mart to get your Magic Armor if you have the rupees. Not only does the thing cost 598 Rupees but it takes Rupees to use the thing – otherwise it’ll provide no defense and you’ll be slow as molasses. So in reality this armor isn’t that good of a deal for you.

Before continuing onto Peak Province we should get some things now available to us. Take a west exit out of Hyrule Castle Town and then you’ll be in Hyrule Field West. Go north out of the area and then circle west (so you’re on the far northwest part of Hyrule Field West) and you’ll see rails on the side. The northmost one curves up and allows you to get a Piece of Heart. First of all ride the Spinner south and you will make the first jump automatically – unless you mess with the controls. After this first jump you need to jump left and right to make sure you make it all the way.

Bridge of Eldin

There is another Heart Piece. Go to the Bridge of Eldin – Eldin Province and head north. You’ll make your way west automatically and soon you’ll see a Wooden Bridge. To the right of it (north wall) you’ll see some tracks going further north. Get the Spinner on these and you’ll make your way to a grass patch – you can dig here to reveal a cave. Inside are three Stalfos guys – Kill all three with Bombs / Bomb Arrows and get the Piece of Heart treasure.

Hyrule Castle Town – Telma’s Bar

Go here to learn of Ashei’s whereabouts. She’s at Snowpeak Mountain.

Zora’s Domain – Snowpeak

Go south to the waterfall and jump down. On the west side a path to Snowpeak has melted and is available. Up ahead at Snowpeak you will see Ashei. She tells of a beast around Zora’s Domain. Ashei then gives you Ashei’s Sketch of the creature Ashei saw holding a red fish. This thing steals red fish from Zora land.

Display Ashei’s Sketch to the zora just before Snowpeak. It tells you the red fish is a Reekfish. Only Prince Ralis is capable of catching these fish generally. So of course, warp to Kakariko Village.

Kakariko Village – Graveyard

Warp here, turn back into a human, and go east into the Graveyard. Crawl through the hall further east into the Graveyard. Swim across and you’ll meet Prince Ralis. Use the Ashei’s Sketch and he’ll identify the Reekfish and give you the Coral Earring so that you can capture it. Now you can catch Reekfish. They are near Mother-and-Child Rocks and are Red.

Zora’s Domain

Warp back here and go to the waterfall. Jump down and swim to the east shore. Fish around here and with the new lure you’ll catch a red Reekfish in no time. After you catch the Reekfish, smell it and forget the Poe Scent and you’ll learn the Reekfish Scent. Now we have something to work with.

Snowpeak – Peak Province

Ashei is gone this time around but you can see the orange / red scent with Wolf Link’s senses. Up ahead is your first taste of glacier-jumping and you can’t fall in the lake in this one. Keep following the scent for a good while and White Wolfos will jump you, about 3 of them. Keep running unless you want to test your might. A bit after this you’ll clearly see a Poe if it’s nighttime. Kill it of course. Follow the scent some more and you’ll reach a wall (scent goes up a cliff). Continue around the cliff but instead of wrapping around keep going straight and you’ll reach a tree and a poe. Have your Senses up so you can see the Poe from afar and run up to it and kill it. Now go back to where the scent went up the cliff and wrap around to follow it.

You’ll eventually hit another intersection and if you go right (west) you’ll reach two more trees and you’ll see a poe at the southern one. It’s hard to tell if it’s night time here so if it’s not then just get it later. Follow the other trail and you’ll get to the scent again but you’ll reach another area you can’t pass – run into the wall and a drift falls and you have your way up. The scent leads to a Howling Stone for your wolf.

This one can be a bit difficult to catch on with. It starts at the top, then at 1.5 its in the middle, 2 it’s at the bottom and 3 it’s at the middle for 2 beats. It picks up at 5 on the bottom and then 5.5 at the top 6 in the middle and 6.5 at the bottom. Do this for the Gold Wolf and there will be a Gold Wolf for Hylian Link at the Kakariko Graveyard.

Follow the scent south now. It leads to a wall you can dig under so on the other side go west and up a ladder. Climb your way up now and kill all the Ice Keese that try to freeze you. Once you exit turn into Wolf Link again and start following the scent. Some Shadow Beasts will intercept you so kill them. This should be easy even with the Ice Keese bothering you.

You’ll come to a Yeti named Yeto and he’s going to slide to his house where he’ll tell you more about that piece of Twilight Mirror he knows about. Let’s not do this yet though as since we have the Peak Province Snowpeak Top Warp we can go to Kakariko Graveyard to get that Gold Wolf ability.

He’s at the east end of the graveyard. He tests your Mortal Draw and then he teaches you the Jump Strike ability. Basically this is like the Jump Attack but instead of pressing A you hold A for a second and then release for a more area-covering jump attack. You have one hidden skill left to learn.

Back at peak province climb that ramp in front of you and ram into the tree. Of course a snowboard drops from the tree and you are to jump on it with Hylian Link and ride it down the path. There’s not much you can do except gain a few rupees but it’s pretty satisfying. Just make sure you don’t fall off – the objective is to get to the beast guy’s house. Once you get near it, go up that spiral mountain just south of his house. At the top (if it’s night) is a poe.

Peak Province – Snowpeak Ruins – 5th Dungeon

Here you are, Snowpeak Ruins. A Poe lies before you so kill it and steal it’s soul. Go north through the door.

You’ll meet Yeto’s wife Yeta. She tells of the cursed mirror in the third floor bedroom. She gives you the map of the mansion and tells you to go to the east door.

Yeto is making some soup for his sick babe. In the south part of this room is Ooccoo. Go northeast to exit.

This room requires you to situate some blocks. Push the first one (southwest) to the east. Now go to the northeast and push it west, south, east and south onto the switch. Go through that southwest door that opened (not the one you started in).

You can’t pass to the right through the ice so you’re going to have to dig west into a bigger room. There is a Red Rupee chest in the south part of this new room. North of this (about northwest of where you entered) is a chest submerged in snow, so dig it out and get the small key. Go east and exit through there. North and key into the room.

Kill the three Freezards in this room. The Freezzard can take off a ton if you’re mistakenly wearing the water suit. Go through the northeast door.

Try to exit to the south in this room but Ice Warriors will bar your way. They aren’t that hard but may prove meddlesome with their numbers advantage. They can take some hits but keep throwing Jump Attacks at them. Go to the next room and get the treasure for…an Ordon Pumpkin. Take the southwest exit.

Climb up the barrels and jump off to the south and exit to the south. Give the Yeti the Pumpkin from Ordon for his soup. You can take some of it yourself in a bottle and drink some to recover 4 hearts. Talk to his wife in the room west of here and she’ll mark down a different spot that she thinks it might be in. She then opens up the northwest room for you.

This is a large room. Kill the White Wolfos and then a cannonball is in the northeast. Go northwest of here to the corner where you’ll spot a window. Go through the door.

Lots of Freezzards in this room. you’ll want to kill them all and then look for the Cannonball (it’s circular and laying in the middle of the path) and bring it to the north cannon and load it in. Now flip the cannon so that it’s facing south and you can put a bomb in the north part of it. After you do this it shoots south destroying a bunch of ice blocks. Go through the south door that is available.

This room can be a pain. It’s likely you’ll fall off a few times. Use the Clawshot to get those pesky Ice Keese and then Clawshot the Freezzards as soon as you see them. To get over to the southeast corner for the Compass you’ll need to avoid the icy support beams. The other chest is a Red Rupee.

Back a few screens to the large courtyard area. Have your senses out when you get out of the window and you’ll see a place to dig – a Small Key is here. Open the western door. Pull the lever down on this side and then get a Cannonball and put it in the slot here. Return to the other side and press the lever to get the cannonball in the courtyard. Take this cannonball and put it in the center cannon and have it face north – shoot it by placing a bomb inside. The Gigantic ice structure has been destroyed.

Run straight ahead in this hall but the Armored Lizard will come after you. Hopefully you have some healing supplies because this guy is hard. He constantly swings the Ball and Chain and this is deadly considering he is invulnerable unless he swings at you. It’s rare he does this so you’ll have to illicit him by going near him. Fortunately if you get really close to him you’ll be out of his range and if you slowly tease that you’re going away from him he’ll throw the Ball and Chain and you can start hitting his weak spot – his tail. Jump attacks are best but regular ones are fine – he doesn’t have much health but this will last a little while. Search the weapon to acquire the Giant Ball and Chain. Go north to exit.

Destroy the Ice ahead of you with the Ball and Chain. Get the Ordon Goat Cheese treasure. Return the Ordon Goat Cheese to the Yeti. Before you leave this room though get the Orange Rupee after destroying the steel armor. Back to the male Yeti (Yeto) and he’ll add the Ordon Goat Cheese to the soup – it now recovers 8 hearts! Yeta marks down another spot and opens the west door for you.

Back to the first room. Now that you have the Ball and Chain you can destroy the sets of armor on the west/ east sides of the first room. They’re camouflage and hard to see but the middle one of the east side of the wall hides a Poe. More treasures lie beneath the others even an orange rupee (100 rupees).

Go west of Yeta. Destroy some ice with your Ball and Chain and then a Freezzard will attempt to disallow you from passing. Wait for it to spray it’s ice near you and then follow it back up – it’ll go up high enough so that you get the opening to throw the Ball and Chain twice into the Freezzard. It’ll blow up into three little Freezzards so destroy them too. At the top is another Freezzard leading to the same result, and then some ice that reveals a cannon. After the cannon is revealed go north and enter.

Quickly whip your Ball and Chain at the Ice Warrior to your left. Hit the Chandelier with the Ball and Chain to get it rocking and then ride it to the opposite end for a Small Key. Leave through the south back into the last room.

Go to the south end of the area and blow up the floor where it looks flimsy. Drop down, grab the Piece of Heart and Clawshot back up there. Use the east wall to exit with the key.

Destroy that ice next to you first thing. Now you can Clawshot back up here should you fall (could happen). The Ice Warrior to the East will throw a javelin of ice at you when you rock the chandelier and attack to jump over there – so either Ball and Chain him before you jump over there or dodge his attack and get to his platform and worry about killing him then. Get back on that chandelier and wait for it to settle down – start using the chandeliers to jump south (it’s hard to time them to have them both close to eachother at the same time). At the very south is a Piece of Heart if you make it that far. Go through the east door to exit.

Tons of little Freezzards in here. Kill them fast with the Ball and Chain and then Ball and Chain your way east through the Ice. A Poe emerges so kill it fast with the Wolf Link. North to continue on.

In this room push the block you see north and then jump down. Destroy the Ice block and the switch that was enclosed by ice. You now have two switches and three blocks (one block is on the switch from the previous time you were here).

Let’s say that the block you just used the Ball and Chain on to get rid of the ice is Block 1. Block 2 is the southmost one on the switch and Block 3 is the one that is 1 spot north and 1 spot east of Block 2. Push Block 2 north past the middle switch. Push Block 1 south, east and then north so that it hits Block 2. Now go back to Block 2 and push it west, south, east and north to be on top of the middle switch. Climb up the blocks in the northwest and make your way to the top. Now exit to the southwest.

Kill the Ice Warrior just east of you. Jump on that bridge that leads to the northeast and the hole in the wall, and then Clawshot through the hole. Go through the east door to exit.

Of course there is an ice patch to the left as you enter that reveals a Clawshot target. Hit the east chandelier and then hit the chandelier south of that so you can get on the south ledge. A Small Key is in that little treasure there. Go through the south door.

This is the Block Puzzle – just exit south. Go through the key door in the northwest part of this room though – after you kill all of the Freezards. In the following room you’ll have two gigantic Freezards to kill and then a lot of mini Freezards that spawn afterwards. Knock down the two giant blocks in the west part of the screen. However take the north exit.

Smash the ice to your left to reveal a Clawshot. Run left and then north and jump into a new room. You’ll be in the west path of the Courtyard – You’ll need to go back in the Courtyard and then go south, west and north to be in that west path again. This time though push the block north and you’ve made the room a lot bigger and easier to access. Put a Cannonball on that south Cannonball Transfer thing and then go through the south door. Pull on the lever to bring the Cannonball up the ramp past the cages and into the Cannon you see. Position the cannon east and drop a bomb to shoot. Go towards the opening now.

Okay in this room, take the Cannonball and put it in the north panel and then go through the north door to get it in that room. Take the cannonball in this courtyard and bring it to the center cannon. You can now aim it to the northwest to destroy the Freezard that wouldn’t let you climb all the way up the ladder. So, jump down and head west then north up the ladder. You’re up here so go through the northwest door.

Lots of Ice Warriors in this area. Use that Ball and Chain to destroy an Ice Warrior and go through the north door. Hey wow, inside is the Bedroom Key also known as the Big Key. As you leave towards the Courtyard you’ll be stopped by Yeta. She’s had Yeto’s soup so she feels better. She slowly shows you the way up the path and to the Big Key room, the Bed Room.

Snowpeak Ruins – Twilit Ice Mass Blizzeta

This is spooky. Yeta looks into the Twilit Mirror and turns evil. Twilit Ice Mass Blizzeta is huge. At first she can be pretty easy. All you have to do is throw the Ball and Chain at her and she’ll shrink and ricochet around. The best alternative for dodging her attacks is to just pummel her with well-timed Ball and Chain attacks. Use the Ball and Chain and then pause for a second or two depending on how fast you sent her ricocheting off some wall. After about 7 or 8 hits with the Ball and Chain, Ice Mass Blizzeta changes her form.

She has about 10 or 12 Ice Barriers blocking her now and they do two attacks – the first attack is that they all attack you one by one so if you keep running and rolling away you should dodge them all. Then they line up over you and try to put you in the middle of their circle because that’s where Twilit Ice Mass Blizzeta comes down. The best way to get at her in this stage is to take out roughly half of her barriers (if you take down all of them she just regenerates them) and then try to line Link up with the holes in her barrier so you can turn around and throw a Ball and Chain at her when she lands. The key is getting good vision of her and her barriers above you during her second attack. After three attacks she’s done for. Yeto runs into the room and saves her. Lots of yeti love going on and Link can pick up the pieces to restore his hearts…ew.

Get the Heart Piece at least and talk to Midna.

Zora’s Domain

Right when you get out you’ll be ambushed by Zant. He steals your Fused Shadows and Midna curses him out for using magic. Link will attempt to attack him but it will be futile. Zant tries to get Midna to join him. Midna defies and is taken to the light world. You are still wolf link, stuck in the Twilit. You are told to go to the princess in the castle.

Run southwest near the Hyrule Castle Town. Enter there and go to Telma’s Bar. You’ll be kicked out but Telma’s Cat spots you and helps you. Push the crate towards the wall and climb up.

Hyrule Castle Town – Telma’s Bar Rafters

Walk across the tightropes to make your way around. Unfortunately you’ll see pots that you cannot knock down or the people there will see you. As you make your way to the third tightrope large pots will be barring your way so you’ll need to be fleet to make sure you don’t fall. Climb into the opening.

Put your senses on and kill the spirit next to you – you will get a Poe for this. Talk to the guy on the left he is Jovani. He wants you to find the other 19 poe souls and he will also open the Underground Waterway for you. You can enter this room easier by digging near the cats – for now jump in the treasure chest.

You’ll fall into the Waterway by some Sewer Rats. Kill them or just go to the north and L Target the handle – jump on it to pull it down and open a gate.

Link will slide down near two skulltulas to the north. Kill them and pick up a stick – light it on fire with a torch then burn the cobwebs. Run north and light the three torchs in this northern-most room. Now re-light a stick and climb to the upper east. You’ll see a cobweb to burn. Run the northeast room here and put those senses on. See the glowing spot? Dig and you’ll be in the Sewers.

Go to the north and east to get to a spiral room that Midna helped you through before. Since Midna is unable to do anything you’ll have to kill all the enemies and slowly cross through the ropes. As you get further north more enemies will pop up unfortunately and some of the Bokoblins are dangerously close to the ropes. Try not to attack them too often as it’ll result in you falling off the cliff. At the top, go north for the door.

On the rooftops in Hyrule Castle now. Go north and then east, up the brown boulder. You’ll be near a south / north pass where the wind will be pushing south very fast. If you go south when the bridge is flailing about you can make it over for a Purple Rupee. Going north though, you’ll see another bridge flailing about but this time you need to time it so that right when it starts doing that you jump north and get to a safe spot. Look to your left and jump on the blue house. Run north along the top and then west until you go in a window.

Go up the stairs counter clockwise and you’ll be in Zelda’s Room. Midna begs of her to restore Link from the Curse that troubles him. It is a new Evil Power that she cannot stop right now. Go to the Sacred Grove Deep in Faron to find a cure. The Master Sword is there. Zelda has special triforce powers. Midna tells Zelda to tell you about the Mirror of Twilit. Zelda restores Midna to help you again. Hyrule Castle is blocked by a Triforce type power when you leave. Talk to Midna and teleport to North Faron Woods.

North Faron Woods

You are here now. Go north as if you were to go back to the Forest Temple. A monkey will be ambushed by Deku Golems so destroy them (they’re easy) and the monkey will mention a secret forest path.

This new section is accessed by doing some L Target Midna jumps farther past the monkey on the left (if you’re heading north). Start doing 3 and you’ll have a quick break to position yourself closer to the edge, and then start up another 3 step midna jump.

Further along here and you’ll be by two wind bridges. They’ll rotate after a bit so wait until you can get on the second one and wait a bit until you can go east. Careful time the tightropes now so you don’t get sliced by the thing going perpendicular to you.

On the other side is another Howling Stone. You learn a new Howl here (it is the Prelude of Light song from Ocarina of Time). It may be a little hard to get at first, but basically you start at the top for 1, then you go to the bottom for 1.5 and stay there until 2.5. Then you take the pitch to the top at 2, the bottom at 2.5, the middle at 3 and the top at 3.5 and you’re done. This is the Prelude of Light and in doing this a Golden Wolf will appear to teach you an ability in the South area of Lanayru Province when you’re link. For now enter the nearby cave.

Another Howling Stone you’ll see. This is Zelda’s Lullaby in Ocarina of Time. Start in the middle at 1, then go to the top at 2 and the bottom at 2.5 and keep it there until 3.5. At 4 you want it in the middle and 5 you want it at the top pitch and 5.5 you want it on the bottom and you’re done.

This summons the Skull Kid. You’ll want to chase after him now and ignore the Deku Golems that will chase you – they will re spawn and you’ll always be fighting four of them. Anyway as you get closer to him you’ll hear the Song of Saria being played. Jump attack him when you see him. From the start, you’re basically going to want to stick to the left and you’ll eventually run across him. After this he flees the other way through a cave with flowers on the left of it, and you’ll find him up a waterfall several screens back. Hit him and he retreats under a passageway. Jump down and follow him and eventually you’ll drop down in a large room with stone formations everywhere. You need to hit the Skull Kid three more times here and he gets more Deku Golems to guard him as you continue to attack him. Try to kill them all at the same time as he’ll try to summon more even before he gets out of them. By the way the only time you can attack the skull kid is when he is blowing that flute.

Run up the passage that opens. Get on the Triforce to your left and play that Zelda Tune (look up to see if you forgot). Now some square platforms will arise and two guardians talk to you about a Sacred Grove. To get in you need to get the two guardians on those platforms they started on. It takes a while to get used to the controls as the guardians move based on how they are facing not on which way you move. If you want to figure it out yourself that’s fine but I simplified how I did it

Left = L, Right = R, Up = U, Down = D.

Start with L, then D, R, R, U, L, U, U, L, D, D, R, U. They’ll be in place and the door behind them opens up. Go through and touch the Master Sword. It turns you back into Link and now you have a more powerful sword. You also get the Shadow Crystal which will allow Link to talk to Midna at any point to change him into a wolf. This opens up lots of things now that you can warp and change at will. Midna talks about wanting the Mirror of Twilight as he has in the past. For now, some sidequests.

Heart Pieces, Poes and other Things

Hyrule Field – North

Lets tie up some loose ends. Remember that howling sequence with the gold wolf? Warp to the Hyrule Castle Town. Go through here and exit at the south and you’ll be in Hyrule Field South. I got a message from Telma saying to go there but I didn’t do that yet. In Hyrule Field South go to the west end of it to see the golden wolf. This guy will tell you that the trick is very hard – do you still want to do it? Say yes and learn the Helm Splitter. This is a pretty nice look skill – use that Shield Attack and then follow it up by press A and then the Jumping A attack. Only three more techniques to learn.

Hyrule Field – West

Go to the west end of the area (right before the Lake Hylia area). See the ivy against the wall? There are flowers and the Female Butterfly up here. Use that Clawshot and catch the Female Butterfly bug.

Lake Hylia – Lanayru’s Spring

Warp here and transform back into human Link. Head east along the south wall to get to the spring of Lanayru. Go inside and take a right. At the end of the path use a Clawshot to get the ivy you see to the south. Climb up and run south to the door. Grab the rupee treasures by you and light the torches with your lantern. After this happens a Piece of Heart treasures appears

Lake Hylia

Warp back here. Turn into a human and go towards the wood bridge west on the minimap. Climb the stairs and go to your right – transform into a wolf and do a howl. At 1 start at the bottom, at 2 put it in the middle, 3 at the top, 4 at the bottom, 5.5 in the middle, 6 on the bottom and 6.5 at the top. Do the song like usual and then do it in front of the gold wolf – you’ll meet him later in the Gerudo Desert.

Lake Hylia Cave

Go south of this Howling Stone and you’ll see the Hylia Cave. Blow it open and enter.

It is very dark here and long. If you fall in you start at the beginning so don’t fall in. Have lots of Lantern Oil available here.

Run straight ahead and light the torch. The north boulder has a Yellow Rupee and some Keese, the west boulder has 5 more bombs and the east continues. At the end of this path is another torch to light and you can kill the Yellow Chus and use them for Lantern Oil if you’re low. Bomb to the west for a Red Rupee, and east to continue. You’ll run across some Fire Slugs immediately so shoot them down. Turn into Wolf Link as you’ll see a poe at the end of this area. Take the Poe’s Soul.

Now the east area you can bomb for ten arrows. Bombing to the north leads to a new area. Be slow here – you have a small area to walk across in many parts. Having the lantern out might be smart. Tektites are here as well. Shoot the Beamos statue that you come to and light the torch. If you bomb north you get a Red Rupee. If you bomb west you get a new path.

More Chus to deal with and you can replenish your lantern here. Light the torches here to reveal an Orange Rupee treasure. Bomb to the north and kill the Tektites. A Red Rupee is here. The west has a tunnel to a Dodongo. Kill it and bomb the east wall if you want to exit (but don’t do it) and north for two more Tektites and 5 bombs. The boulder on the west continues the path so get to the torches and light them and kill the beamos.

The west boulder is a Purple Rupee. The south is ten arrows and some Keese. The north wall continues. Kill the enemies like the slugs as you go. You’ll have to sway left and right to avoid pits. Light another torch at the end and then kill the poe you see. The north boulder leads to another purple rupee. The east boulder has ten bombs and two tektites and the south boulder continues onward.

Kill the Dodongos and bomb north for 50 Slingshot Seeds. Bomb east to continue. Light the torch at the end of this area and bomb east. Take out the keese on the other side and get the Orange Rupee chest. To the south you can bomb to continue and you’ll get to use your lantern to make sure you don’t fall (otherwise you probably will). Kill the Keese with arrows to ensure they don’t knock you in.

Another Poe in this room for Wolf Link to acquire. Light the torches here to get a Piece of Heart to appear and head out to the south to be out of here.

Outside Lake Hylia Cave

Go west at night and you’ll see another poe by the stone tower. Kill this one and warp to the Lake Hylia warp again, but this time go east and a little south. You’ll come to some platforms you need to jump through and you’ll see a poe far ahead. Get up to it and kill it.

Go to the east shore now and you’ll see a third poe outside of Lake Hylia. Kill this one as well with Jumping attacks. Return to the clown and get shot up. Go through the door and you’ll want to do the cuckoo thing with Falbi. You wanted to land on the second to the top one to get the piece of heart the first time you did this – now land the third highest and turn to wolf link to see another poe.

Okay you’ve met that bird by Fyer’s by now it’s time to go by the grass south of Fyer’s place and howl. Do the designed one (1 – up 2 – down 3 – up 4 – down). You’ll begin a race going upstream with a beast. The goal is to get as many points as you can and if you get 10,000 you get a prize, a Piece of Heart. This is easier than you think – just get Strawberries as they’ll double in points and eventually get you over 10,000 after about a dozen or so. Just make sure you don’t hit anything or you’ll lose it all! You can restart in the middle of the course or just restart after you fail / are done.

Upper Zora’s River

Since you’re up here now go to the south part of it and wait until nighttime – another Poe emerges. Kill it and then teleport to Zora’s Domain. Right the wave down and jump off the waterfall – a poe is on the east and west side. On the east side just walk south up the hill to see the poe (turn left at the top of the hill). Turn senses on, kill it. Go west now and you’ll have to do some Midna Jumps north to get to the Poe. Kill it when you get there.

Kakariko Village

Warp to Kakariko Village for some poe souls. You should have plenty already. Go to Barnes’ Shop with human Link and climb up to the top and out the passage. From here go to the east to see a Poe to kill. One last Poe to get in Kakariko and it’s just northeast of this one, up a few ramps. Kill it with wolf link and go to the graveyard.

Kakariko Graveyard

Go straight ahead to kill one Poe. Now look to the right, the first grave on the right can be pushed to reveal a Poe. Those two were tough huh.

Death Mountain

Another Poe that you need to take care of is here. Go up the path and when you reach the second goron that shoots you up, lean west. When you get up here (you can see the poe way before you get here) turn into Wolf Link and be careful not to fall off when you attack them.

Go north and stick to the west wall – don’t drop down. You’ll see an opening eventually and when you go in, a Heart Piece.

North Faron Woods

Warp here as you’re done with Death Mountain. Go east in the initial screen and then stick to the south wall and east. You’ll get to do some Midna Jumps that take you to the south. Now go east and north a little for a few more jumps. Up a ramp and face towards the middle for some more jumps and the poe.

Hyrule Field Kakariko Gorge

From the warp that you get out of, go straight south from the bridge until you see a boulder. Blow it up and enter.

Basically the point of you going to this cave is to go to the northeast parts of the cave. A Heart Piece is in the far northeast and just west of that is a Poe. You have to light two torches to reveal the Heart Piece.

Hyrule Field Faron Province

Teleport back to the Kakariko Gorge and go southwest from here to the Faron Province. See the lake to the west? Go to the north part of it to kill a poe with wolf link.

Lake Hylia

Enter Lake Hylia from Faron Province and go near the south of the bridge. See the blue boulders in the wall that don’t stick out too much? Well shoot them anyway to reveal Clawshot spots to use. Use the Claw Shot to get up there and you can already see where the poe is. Just Claw Shot there and have Wolf link kill it.

Hyrule Castle Town

Warp here and go south and west from when you enter into that little peninsula by itself. This leads to a Poe if you use your senses on the wolf. Kill it and the bokoblins around.

Hyrule Field North

Go to the far west to see a Lizalfos and a few trees and flowers. If you have your senses on you’ll see a huge area you can dig leading to a cavern. Two poes are down here for you to take but there are tons of Deku Babas to distract you. Exit after this.

Run north to this stage. Go east when you enter to the big bridge. There are two Lizalfos around here to kill and a poe on the center of the bridge.

Eldin Province Hyrule Field

Run to the Lizalfos / poe screen and you’ll be in Eldin Province. Go to the north side of the big bridge and look on the east wall – see the Clawshot spot? Use your abilities to claw up there and enter the cave at the end.

This cave is a little tricky. Have your Iron Boots not equipped but ready to be equipped. Run along and get a dash head start as you jump straight ahead – Equip those Iron Boots after a good part of the jump and hopefully you’ll make it onto a magnetic force. Remove the boots and you’re on a platform.

Run up it and kill the keese that are flaming and the bokoblins that get in your way. At the end is another sequence where you dash and jump and then equip your Iron Boots at the last minute to make the magnetic move. Another catwalk for you to maneuver past and then dash and jump and Iron Boot your way on. Release the Iron Boots and you’re in a new area. Kill the dodongo and get the Piece of Heart treasure. If you light the torches you’ll get an Orange Rupee (100 rupees). Go west to exit.

Hyrule Castle Town

Enter the town and go out the eastern gate. If it’s night time (like all other poes) you’ll see the poe on the bridge. Kill it and then go through the south area of Hyrule Castle Town.

Hyrule Field South

Another Poe to grab. It is on the west enter as you leave the stairs of Hyrule Castle Town to Hyrule Field South.

Hyrule Castle Town – Jovani’s House

Okay take an east passage in Hyrule Castle Town and you’ll see a house with a bunch of cats outside. Dig on the left side to get in. Okay great, now talk to Jovani. I have 26 Poes currently so that was over 20 and he gives you the Fourth Empty Bottle. Have the 4th Empty Bottle allows Link to have pretty much an endless supply of whatever he needs. It actually comes with Great Fairy’s Tears. He wants you to complete all 60 Poes. Jeez, this will take a while.

Back near the west end of Hyrule Castle Town is a multicolored tent. Enter this. Inside is a goofy guy who runs the STAR Game. The STAR game is where you are locked in a cage and you have to Clawshot around and collect the stars. Be as efficient as possible with each Clawshot attempt in order to finish under 30 seconds. When you do, you get the Big Quiver which puts your arrows at 60 which is double what it was.

Kakariko Village

Warp here and enter Malo Mart to see whats new. Inside is a Goron, one who is looking for funds to repair the east side bridge of Hyrule Castle Town. Give him as much as you got, preferably 600 and then go to the Hyrule Castle Town to sell bugs. After this you should be able to come up with the 1000 Rupees to repair the east Hyrule Bridge.

To get the shop to go to Hyrule Castle Town though you need 2000 Rupees.

Well, talk to the goron outside of Malo Mart. He has an idea but he wants his goron friend from the east Hyrule Castle Town bridge to come. Go over there to see him and he can’t move – return to Kakariko to the goron outside the Malo Mart. He gives you Hot Springwater that you need to bring to the East Hyrule Castle Bridge.

The only time I had success was running along the south and then west border, otherwise the Leevers would attack me and then destroy the barrel. Dodging the Bokoblin’s Arrows is easier than I thought it’d be – don’t stop for anyone just keep running west and then throw the barrel on the goron to awake him. He drops a Piece of Heart. Back at Malo Mart just give the guy 200 Rupees and they’ll be traveling to Hyrule Castle Town to set up shop.

You’ll get a letter from the postman about Malo Mart. Go to Hyrule Castle Town and to the center square, and then to the southeast of this area. Malo’s Mart is here and people are dancin’ inside. Talk to the guy dancing on the other side of the counter and he’ll show you a bunch of things to buy. The real noteworthy thing is the Magic Armor for 598 Rupees. You probably don’t have this but you’ll want this as soon as possible. For gaining rupees for this and the previous events, just sell bugs and do the Lake Hylia Cave and that should give you a significant amount.

Telma’s Bar

is where you need to go. You’ll hear about a western desert and of Auru an older guy. Go to the guys in the back and they’ll have a map and Auru’s spot will be marked red.

Lake Hylia

Warp here and go to the far west. You’ve already done the Howling Song here I imagine, assuming you followed this. Further west is the tower so climb it. Talk to Auru for a while about the Gerudo Prison and the Cursed Mirror. Auru asks you about Fyer (the clown guy who shoots you to the upper part of Lake Hylia) and then when you tell him you know him, Auru gives you Auru’s Memo. Go to Fyer and give him Aurus Memo to get booted west to Gerudo Land for free. Take the Oasis Flight

Gerudo Desert Province

As you get in, Midna gives you more information about the sorcerers and the Twilight Realm. Midna also talks about the Twili and about how he is a descendant of the tribe that was banished to the Twilit Realm. Zant basically screwed everything up as you can imagine. Zant has a great evil power. He concludes with saying we need the Mirror of Twilight.

Now when you get control run to the far southwest. If you go along the south wall you’ll likely see a Male Dayfly to the east of you. (northeast of the south wooden gate). Further west and take the northern trench and you’ll see a Female Dayfly. In the very southwest you’ll see a weird-shaped plant here and if you Clawshot it and then Clawshot the thing flying, you can get to the top plateau (just make sure you release at the optimum time). You’ll fight three Shadow Beasts and then a teleport will appear here, which is important. Further up the stairs and on the other side is a Poe for Wolf Link to kill. Examine the area a little closer. You’ll notice you can press Z to talk to Midna about the bridge sitting there. Well have him warp it to Eldin Province – Bridge of Eldin.

Back at the Gerudo Mesa go to where the bridge was. There is an opening here and it takes you to the Cave of Ordeals. This is a very difficult and long place that we’ll deal with later.

Go to the northwest area now. Some Bokoblin Archers spot you and they send boars after you. Kill the boar riders and then hop on one of the boars after it gets up. If you dash you can destroy towers and fences but they’re hard to control then. In this northwest area though you can find some rupee treasures (I found two 20 Rupees and a 50 rupee treasure) and the northwest passage after blowing up some fences with a boar dash.

Before you go through that north exit, let’s go east (at night) to get a poe. You’ll see it on the plateau there, and you need to Clawshot the tree south of it to get near it. Since your senses are on you surely see the place to dig then.

Gerudo Mesa Poe Cavern

A poe is next to you when you get here. Another one pops out shortly after. Take care of it and then bomb the stone boulders in your way. If you light all the torchs you get an Orange Rupee! You should be close to having enough for the Magic Armor at Malo Market in Hyrule Castle Town soon.

Go to the very southeast part of the map. A poe is here, and so is another cave after you dig. Inside are about 8 Skulltulas that you must kill. Use the wolf so that you can see. After they’re all gone, another Orange Rupee chest appears.

Time to enter the northwest part past the Bokoblin fort. You’ll climb up some stairs and to the east for some arrows and rupees. Back west and you’ll see a Gold Wolf but go past it to kill the Poe first. There are more rupees over here and Leevers. Talk to the Gold Wolf now to learn Mortal Draw. The Mortal Draw Technique allows Link to counter an enemy attack with A. However you cannot be L Targetting so you are up for risk – basically if you’re fast enough to pull it out it’ll be useful but if you can’t time it right you’re just going to get killed trying to get it to work.

Bokoblin Base

Keep going north and you’ll come to a bunch of archer bokoblins and regular bokoblins. Kill the ones that rush you and then try to take out that annoying archer by the gate and the flaming torch. East from here is a dead end but west leads deeper into the Bokoblin Fortress and another archer spots you.

Continue north and then east. In the northeast corner you’ll see a pit with a roasted Boar. Attack this boar several times and it’ll blow up. Get the Heart Piece (you may not be able to see it) in the pit after you destroy it. A Bokoblin Archer should be around here to drop a Small Key.

Back a bit and look for a gate facing south. This is locked but that’s what you have the small key for. Use it and enter to meet King Bulblin. This is a small enclosed area and he has a huge weapon. Don’t fear though, he’s easier than he looks. First off he’s tremendously slow so if you keep swinging you should be okay. Slow and not agile as you can get behind him with ease. Jump attacks work great as do the L Target + Shield + Helm Splitter. After several attacks he’ll go down and leave. He’ll light the area on fire so get on the boar and ram through the north gate. You’ll be in front of a new place now.

South first, back to the old screen. A Poe should be right in front of you, so kill it with the wolf. Back north to the area that the boar charged to.

Arbiter’s Grounds Exterior

Run up the stairs and go left to kill another poe.

Dungeon #4 Arbiter’s Grounds

You can mess around on the quicksand but it’s soon obvious that you will be sinking if you choose to do this. You’re going to need to Clawshot to the northwest Platform and then start jumping northeast and then northwest until you get to an area where you can run northeast to a gate. This gate is closed so go easy and then kill the Mini Stalfos. After they’re gone use the Clawshot to drag that chain to you, and then press R to pull it to open the gate.

Run forth but you’ll be blocked by a key door. Go right to destroy some treasures and then get some Lantern Oil if you wish. The other way is some wood that can be destroyed and then roll to the treasure. Little Scarabs will rush towards so just spin attack them or regular attack to get them off your back. Go through that locked north door now.

This room is dark and there are a ton of Mini Stalfos. As you can see there is a ton of quicksand as well. You’ll want to use the wolf and use his Senses so that you can have night vision and actually see where you are going. At the north end are two torches that you need to light to advance north.

Poe Chamber

You are in the Poe Chamber and you’ll fight the first Poe right now. They are more difficult and require you to bite them when you attack them – and use Ending Blow to finish them. The other three will take off before you defeat the first one. Sniff the poe with the wolf to get the Poe Scent. Go to the northeast of the room and across the quicksand for the Piece of Heart treasure. On the northwest side is the Dungeon Map for Arbiter’s Grounds.

If you go east you’ll see a poe has gone under the floor. Go over there with the wolf’s senses on and dig. You’ll reveal a chain which you can pull, and then a stairway opens up. Go down here.

Kill the flying skull enemy, the Bubble. Push the pillar in the middle counter clockwise to open a path north. However you also get to meet the Gibdos enemy and Gibdos can freeze link. Kill it quickly and grab the Small Key it was guarding. Turn back and see the opening in the roof? Move up so that you can see the red Clawshot target and then use it to get up there.

There are Rats up here you need to kill. As you can see with Wolf Link’s Senses that the exit to the north is where a poe is. Kill the Bubbles in this new room and then put your Senses on. You may have already noticed a lantern moving but it’s true, the Poe is posing as one of the lanterns on. Remember when fighting these things that they must be glowing bright blue to be vulnerable to your attacks otherwise they are invisible. This basically means you have to attack them shortly after they perform an attack on you because that’s the only time they are susceptible to attacks. Your second poe has been captured.

Back in the previous room and then jump down the ledge. Push the middle pedestal clockwise to return it back to normal. Back west and then up the stairs, but take the east door near you.

Turn your senses on and go through the east door that the Poe Scent is coming from. Travel across the north islands and kill the Bubble on the plateau ahead. Watch out for Spikes that come out of the quicksand to bar your progress. Be human link and pull the caged box north and then push it east. Go up the stairs you opened up and then on the west ledge. Now get a running start and jump east off this ledge and you’ll be on a new area by a chain. Pull this chain far back, to the end of the caged box where you can’t pull it any longer. Now begin to run / roll south as fast as you can, climbing over the ledge and making your way past the chandelier that will fall back down. Go south up the stairs and kill the bubbles and you’ll be in a new room shortly. Keep your senses on.

Go further south to find the Compass in this room. Go to the middle of the room for another pedestal to push – again do it counter clockwise first. Take the east room and attack the wooden doorway to get through. Kill the Gibdos and get the Small Key and turn around and take the west room.

Use the key to get through and then you’ll have to run through this hallway, killing all the Mini Stalfos and the two Gibdos that bother you. Turn the senses on after you defeated the enemies and you’ll see the Third Poe’s Scent travels into the ground. Dig and pull the chain to open the door just south of you. Of course the poe comes out now and you can defeat it. Go north through the door afterwards. One more poe left!

In this north room go to the middle south part for a key. Lots of mice will jump on you but you can’t see them unless you have your senses on. Use spin attacks to clear the room. Get on the top part of the area and go counter clockwise towards the west exit. Use your key and enter.

You’re in the first poe room, but you’re on the top. Jump across the chandelier to the west exit to follow the Poe’s scent, the fourth and final poe.

Drop down in this room and push the caged box forward into a pit. As you push it look to the right to see an area it opened up revealing a red rupee. Return back to the caged box and jump on top of it – pull the chain back and go south past the chandelier behind you. Grab the Red Rupee chest again and then Clawshot to the east – you can drop down and go north to get back to where you were, with the chain and the chandelier. Pull the chain again but this time step in the dip on the bridge, and the chandelier will land around you but not on you, and you’ll be in the middle. Climb on the chandelier and jump off the west end and enter the nearby door.

Destroy your way through and then a Stalfos appears. Do a Jump attack or Helm Splitter to get this guy to crumple. However you need to do more than this as it’ll just come back to life – bomb it after you get it down and it’ll be destroyed. Destroy the pots and the wood blocking passages – you’ll see a bunch of bomb treasures and go through the south door.

Get Wolf Link to dash across the quicksand here and then light the far east torch and the one that is by itself in front of the others. This will open a door to the east. Any other combination will cause many Mini Stalfos to come your way so kill them and use the Gale Boomerang to get rid of the fire and try again.

In this room is the fourth poe against the wall. This poe battle is different because you’re going to have four different poes going at you and you’ll need your view far away (press C down) to make sure you can see which ghost is the one to attack. There is only one that glows bright blue, so you’re going to need to find that poe (in the short amount of time you have) and attack it. After a few attacks finish it like normal and you’ll have all four poes. Go north through the door. Clawshot onto the target east and go through the door to the first poe room.

Now that you have all four poes you can enter the north door. In this room take the east exit. Drop down and kill the Bubble. Push the pedestal clockwise twice so that the floor raises two levels. Take hte west passage for a Small key and some stuff to blow up. Go back to the center room and push the pedestal counterclockwise until you are at the very bottom floor. Key out of the south door.

This room has lots of quicksand and lots of spikes. You need to avoid the spikes, going to your right at first, then a little forward, then left. As you run across the quicksand you’ll attract Undead Rats that you cannot see so be sure to put your senses on and spin attack them off. Eventually you’ll weave your way back right (west end) and at the southwest end is a Gibdos. In the southeast corner is another chain for you to pull – this opens that middle – south door so that you can run throw with wolf link but have your senses on because you’ll surely pick up some Undead Rats along the way. Remember you have to go around to the west to avoid the spikes so be fast.

In this new area, get Wolf Link ready to run through this west passage. Scarabs will be nice and annoying along the way and you’ll have to avoid the spikes flying around. In the southwest corner of the room is our buddy Ooccoo who lets us return and leave dungeons. Go north of Ooccoo to exit.

This room is huge. First avoid the spikes in the room ahead of you (and the Scarabs) and continue north. In this second area two Stalfos will appear to trouble you. Take them out and bomb them, and then go to the east cove with all the pots. Another Stalfos is here and once this one is destroyed a door opens. Return to the previous part of the room with the two long spike things going around. Take the east path here and you can go through now. Use the Clawshot to get up here. There will be a ton of Scarabs here to bog you down so spin attack them off. Jump across the gap and enter the door.

You have to fight a miniboss here against the Undead Prisoner. To release the Undead Prisoner you need to attack the rope with the sword. Get the wolf out and use your Senses. Dodge the attacks via side jumps and then he’ll glow bright blue and you can jump attack him. Take a bunch of bites out of him and he’ll start flying around now.

But Hylian Link can actually see him so shoot him with an arrow and then he’ll fly around in circles and then try to do one big attack – again, side and back jumps are the key to getting out of the way and then he’s vulnerable to jump attacks to his head. You’ll have to repeat this (the Arrow / Dodge sword attack / then jump attack combo) a few times to kill him. Run north and jump across to get the Spinner. This is a pretty unique item. You can pull this out and ride it with Hylian Link and you can practice in this room along the tracks that run along the exterior of the wall. Take the south exit to leave.

In this room you need to ride your spinner along the wall to your right and then switch off to the other side as you see the track begin over there. Press A to jump off the track and get on the other side. You’ll be by a door now so go through.

You’ll have a lot more Spinner practice here. Start with the spinner on the right side and then jump to the left. You’ll want to be jumping left and right and when you see spikes flailing around in circles make sure you’re on the right set so you can go past then on the right. Jump to the left once more after this and you’ll spin into the middle of a room with a Stalfos and a spinning spike. Bomb Arrow or Bomb the Stalfos Knight and then climb up the tall east ramp for a Piece of Heart. Ride the Spinner west along the north wall and jump across so that you can make your way to the upper part. You’ll come to an area where you’ll be spinning in circles and you’ll want to travel on the upper part of this railway with the Spinner. This will finally take you to the north part of this room. In here you can go east for some Stalfos and a Yellow Rupee. Ride the Spinner up the ramp to the west. Get off and head to the middle passage and use the Spinner. You can see the floating spikes going back and forth so you’ll need to jump left and right to avoid them until you get to the door.

The chest you see is the Big Key for Arbiter’s Grounds. Ride the Spinner down and to the center thing – your Spinner will fit in there and you can then start tapping A fast to get the door to open.

Go to the new room you opened up. Ride the Spinner along the right wall until you go a full 360 degrees and are on the east wall (it’s a little more than 360). You’ll be close to the center plateau – you can jump here if you get a dashing head start. When you are on, start using that Spinner and the torchs will light and you will bring a ramp further up so you can take the Spinner up it to the top.

Boss of Gerudo Arbiter’s Grounds – Twilit Fossil Stallord

Enter the boss door and ahead you’ll see a giant skeleton. Run down to it and Zant will appear. He gives this undead skeleton “life” and it’ll thrust itself out of the sand. You’ll now begin a battle in which you’ll have to use your Spinner basically the entire time. You need to ride along the exterior around Stallord and jump at him with your Spinner as you get close to his spine. Attacking him from the back is best but beware of spikes chasing you around (the more times you’ve hit Stallord the more spikes will be after you) anda also of Fossil Stallord’s skeletal minions that appear near the spine to protect it. They are basically bumps that send you the other way but if you use the momentum properly you can bounce off another one right back into Stallord. After three hits the sand will be drained.

Get in the Spin indent and start Spinning – a tower appears. Twilit Fossil Stallord isn’t finished and you have to fight it for real this time. This part can be pretty annoying. You have to ride the Spinner along the walls until you see Stallord. Then you have to dodge his Fire Breath by jumping from one side to the other. When you get close enough to hit it do so quickly – it’ll shoot Fire Breath at you and knock you down forcing you to start all over. After you hit him with your Spinner you can go at him with your sword – I got him 8 times with the jump attack the first time so he definitely stays down for a while. Spikes will then start coming at you on the right rails and then when you get him again they’ll start coming on the right rails and left rails. This really isn’t too hard though – it’s just another thing that forces you to jump. Just repeat these Jump attacks and you should have no trouble of this guy once you get the hang of the jumping from side to side and timing of his fire balls.

Once defeated, Twilit Fossil Stallord leaves behind his Heart Piece and you can continue on.

Mirror Chamber Arbiter’s Grounds

Go left and up the stairs, until you can go left and take another quick left. Follow this new path until you get to teh Mirror Chamber Grounds. As you are up here, a battle with the shadow beasts occur. Again, the hardest part here is getting them all killed at once – but with Wolf Link you should be able to get this done easily if you separate it into groups of 2 and 3. There is your Mirror Chamber teleport. Use the Spinner to get on top of the statue and then start spinning – you’re excavating the Mirror of Twilight.

You will hear from the sages who guard the Mirror of Twilight. They then tell you of one who is harnessing power – Ganondorf. He’s an evil guy. They tale more of his personal tale and of how he got sent to the Twilight after killing a sage.

You are to get the Mirror Fragments. They can be found in a Snowy Mountain Heights, Ancient Grove, and even the Heavens. You already have one from Arbiter’s Grounds here.

Kakariko

As stated when you return, your destination is the light spirit Lanayru. However there are things to do in the Eldin Province still. Talk to the Goron outside of Barnes’ bomb place in the north part of town. Have him launch you up, and then go up the path and get launched up by the next goron you see. Climb the ladder and talk to Talo. And minigame with Malo starts.

You are to use your Bow and Arrow to shoot various things. For your efforts Malo gives you a Piece of Heart. Also since you participated in this minigame, Malo will sell you the Hawkeye for 100 rupees at the Malo Mart. Now you can zoom in with your bow and arrow, and it’s now more like a sniper rifle. You need both of these equipped at once for this effect.

Barnes Bomb Shop

Enter Barnes Bomb Shop in the north part of town. You can see he’s selling bombs. He has two that aren’t out yet but he has 10 for 30 rupees. Unfortunately you need a bomb bag premium kit with bag and bombs for 120 rupees! That was a little more than we thought initially but take it.

Go to the southwest part of town and you’ll see a boulder against the south wall by the eldin spring. Use a bomb to blow open a hole and run through. Jump into the deep part of the water with the Iron Boots and get the treasure, it should be another Piece of Heart and it should be enough to fill up another full one for you.

Go back to where you blew that boulder up. Look up to see another boulder, a more brown one. Go to your items and to your bombs specifically and you’ll get the option of pressing R to have the Bow and Bomb combo. Use this and shoot that boulder, revealing a Piece of Heart. This should be your 1st / 5 so use that Gale Boomerang to pick it up.

Hyrule Field North Eldin Province

This is where you fought that jerk King Bulblin. I got some mail from the mail guy, about the bomb and about a kakariko shop. See those boulders ahead of you on the right? Blow them up and leave Epona and start venturing up there. Continue south jumping across paths and going up the ivy. Follow this until you get to a boulder that you need to arrow / bomb.

Continue along until you get to a heart piece – you’ll have to look down for a treasure and jump to it, that’s the heart piece.

Back to Epona. Start riding about north from the entrance and then veer off east towards the dirt area and look for a gold glow. Slowly walk up to this creature, it’s a Male Grasshopper. With Epona ride to the northwest corner of the map and you’ll see a gold glow. Fight the Leevers off and then slowly walk up to it – it’s the Female Grasshopper.

Go to that bridge that you fought King Bulblin on. See the gold glow just as you enter the south part of it? It’s on the east side and with the Gale Boomerang you can get it right next to you. Pick it up, it’s the Male Phasmid. On the other side of the bridge, go to the east side of that and you’ll see a huge boulder. Blow it up and get the rupees then stand near the wreckage. Look at the east wall. A bit above your head you can see a gold glow, if you’re close enough you can lock on with the gale boomerang and pull it close. It’s a Female Phasmid.

Go across the bridge and further north, using bombs to explode the boulders and move on to the next area. When you do, three twilight beasts come by the bridge and destroy the middle part of it. Rush back there and kill all three at the same time. The only good you get out of this is the Hyrule Field – Eldin Province Warp. Take Epona and hurry along the path until you reach a barrier of Twilight.

We are at the border of Lanayru Province. This is the last fused Shadow that we need. Get off Epona and agree with Midna to go into the final twilight.

Entering Lanayru Province – Twilight

Run along and kill the keese along the way. You’ll come to a bag, that of Ilia. Now forget the Youth’s Smell (talo) and choose to memorize the Ilia Scent. Turn your senses on and follow that scent until you get to a new area of Hyrule Field. You’ll see a castle here, hmm.

Follow her scent to the very southwest. Eventually it’ll veer east into Hyrule Castle Town.

Hyrule Castle Town

Talk to the spirits if you wish but keep going east on the minimap and follow that scent. It veers all about once in town but generally it is heading south until you see it head into a building, the Telma Bar. Ilia is hanging out in here and you’ll hear about a spirit in Lake Hylia. Ilia is overlooking a poor Zora Child.

Listen to the soldiers again and then leave the bar. We are to find the Lake Hylia light spirit. Head west out of town (you can’t go south). When you reach the Hyrule Field go west. You’ll come to a big sign about Fyer and Falbi’s Watertop Land of Fantastication Flight-By-Fowl. Whatever, head southwest to the Great Bridge of Hylia. The Great Hylian bridge is over Lake Hylia which seems to be just a puddle almost. Go along the bridge and a Twilit Bokoblin Archer will ambush you and burn the bridge. You need to leave, fast. Push a box again the wall (make sure it’s flat not slanted) so that you can climb up and jump into Lake Hylia.

Seems like there is a problem in Zora’s Domain. Go out towards the house with the dude hanging out. Talk to his spirit and then you’ll see an enemy. It is a Shadow Bird Rider and he’ll be sending Flame Arrows at you. You’re going to want to pounce and chomp on him a few times to get him down. After that you’ll steal his ride, the shadow bird.

Midna and Link are flying on the bird now. This part is annoying – you can’t hit anything or get hit by anything or you’ll fall. Watch for the arrows, falling boulders, and generally it’s just hard to not get hit as you’re avoiding these arrows and whatnot. Before you know it you’ll be at the very north with a light tunnel.

You are at Upper Zora’s River. Up ahead is a boat rental to Lake Hylia. Go west on the minimap past the snowy ground and to the northwest exit.

Zora’s Domain

You are now in Zora’s Domain. It has frozen over once again. Go north upon entry and when you reach a bunch of icicles and a steep snowbank, step on top to do some LTarget Midna jumps up the mountain. Run along to the west when the jumps are done and you’ll reach another ledge to do some L Target Midna Jumps. At the top you reach a point with three shadow beasts (a barrier surrounds the area). Kill the one by itself and use a combo attack on the two. Use your senses on the ice after the battle to see all the Zoras are frozen under water. You can warp now – so do so, to Death Mountain.

Death Mountain

Look in the Eldin Province for Death Mountain warp. Right by you is a gigantic molten rock. Go up to it and press Z and then warp it to the Lanayru province, Zora’s Domain. It’ll burn the ice.

Zora’s Domain – Lanayru Province

Talk to the Zora’s but most will be in shock. Make your way south to leave but Rutela a former Zora Queen will speak with you. She wants you to save her dearest, Ralis. If you save her son she’ll give you a means of dealing with the water. Go south down the water path and jump into Lake Hylia.

You’ll wash up next to the spring of Lanayru the Light Spirit in Zora’s Domain. Go in and get the third Vessel of Light.

Lake Hylia

As you leave you’ll see a bug go to your left. Put your senses on and chase it up. Kill it and get the first vessel of light. Further west is a platform where you’ll fight three more shadow beasts – they are a bit away so it takes some smarts to get two of them for a jump attack. You now have a teleport to this spot.

In the northeast of this room is another bug, a flying one. Swim across (go by the islands its more shallow and you can basically run) to get there.

Back to that spot where you fought the shadow enemies. From here go south and work your way east to the bug in that corner. You’ll have to dig this one out to defeat it.

Back at shadow beast spot – go northwest now and to the back of the house you see. With your senses you see a flying bug and it’s hard to hit – once you do hit it that’ll be 4 vessels of light. Go before the house and you’ll see some things you can blow. The howl sequence you need is already displayed but basically howl at the top, then the bottom, then the top, then the bottom and you’ll get that shadow beast to fly you around again.

The route that the shadow bird takes is the same but you have four bugs you need to get along the way. Have your senses locked on for most of the flying sequence and you’ll see them – lock on with L and press A to dash through them – you don’t need to collect the tears of light they just appear with you. If you miss them just teleport to Lake Hylia and do it again.

Talk to the lady nearby and then kill the bug that appears. Go to the bridge you see and a howl will come up – at 1 you do the bottom note, at 2 you do the middle note, at 2.5 you do the bottom note, at 3 you do the top note, at 4 you do the middle note and at 5 you do the bottom note. It can be a little tricky but once done you’ll be teleported to the golden wolf. You need to perform this again in front of him to confirm it and then you are to meet this golden wolf again later with human link.

Go north a bit and you’ll hear of Prince Ralis and the waterway in Hyrule Castle. Follow these two into Hyrule Field via their route.

Hyrule Field

Look to your right for some stairs and then run west to the next screen. Go south and attempt to head into the east gate but of course three shadow beasts block your way. Not difficult, you’ve fought about 15 batches of them by now. Run into Hyrule Castle now.

You can see the lone bug in this area. It is to the southeast, beat up some crates and kill the bug and it’s yours.

Press Z and have Midna warp you north to Zora’s Domain. A bug is to your southeast now, charge against the nearby wall to get its attention as it’s a flier. Go out of here via the south and jump down the big waterfall. With your senses on get on a lilypad and either jump attack or charge attack the two flying bugs nearby. Then go to the east end and exit, and climb the hill to get to another bug. While still on this east end you’ll see you can do midna jumps in the southeast. Be careful not to fall around here but you can get to the upper areas of both the east and west ends. There is a bug on each end. The west end is hardest to get to as you’ll get to a point where you can get a Red Rupee chest or do about 10 more midna jumps to get west. All of these should put you at 15 Tears of Light, one short of 16.

Lake Hylia

Warp to Lake Hylia. You can see the last bug in the lake going haywire. Make your way to the northeast to this bug in the water. It is actually a gigantic Dark Insect Queen. Careful of this electric beast, it will shock you and knock you off your lilypad.

Stay on one at all times pretty much although you may need to jump off to dodge her at times. She will also swim around at ridiculously fast speeds so you’re going to want to wait until she subsides from doing this and jump on her and chew her up when she stops. After about three of these chew sessions she’ll flip over on her back. Jump on top of her and do a Midna Charge attack to kill all six legs and destroy her for the final Tear of Light. You are then transfered to a Zora’s Domain with light. You are Link again, speaking with Lanayru. You hear about a temple in Lake Hylia. Link also hears of past battles and the Triforce and of powerful sorcerers that are interlopers. This magic is accessible with Fused Shadows. This is pretty creepy but you need to make quick and go to the Lakebed Temple in Lake Hylia.

Lake Hylia – Link

You are Link now at Lake Hylia. Run along to Fyer The Clown and he’ll shoot you up into the air far to the north. You only had to pay 10 rupees for that.

Before you enter the nearby building Midna will have a revelation – you’re going to need the ability to be underwater if we wanted that third fused shadow in the third dungeon. We need to save the Prince Ralis. Enter that building and you’ll be in Falbi’s Flight-By-Fowl building so save your game. A minigame awaits you and you’ll need to pay 20 rupees so it’d be best if you could save incase you fail.

Talk to the goofy guy Falbi in here. Gives him the 20 rupess and grab a cuckoo. Look down and see the blue-grey thing below with several platforms? Well you’ll went to jump on the second-further one (not the spinning platform which is the furthest away). This treasure you’ll get is a Piece of Heart. Hop down to the other floors to get 50, 20 and 10 rupees on each floor. Go back to the Clown Fyer’s shop to get sent back up there.

Go to Falbi’s Shop but go through the back door. You’re now near the Hyrule Field and the Hylian Bridge. Run across the bridge, I got a letter at this point. Two of them. One is from Barnes about a new underwater bomb he’s created. The other was about Lanayru Tourism, like some of the things to do around here. Go to the bridge and look to your left. On the east side of the bridge is a Male Mantis for you to catch – on the south side is the Female Mantis. You will need to look behind the last tree branches in the south end. Boomerang her your way. Go north now near the next area but spot the grass before the road narrows – blow this grass to summon Epona to your side.

Now you can ride her north. Continue to take the north splits and you’ll have to bomb through a few walls to continue on. Eventually you’ll get to the far north tip on the minimap and you’ll have to bomb in and walk in. Jump into the big lake and go up the eastern ramp. You’ll see a gold Male Dragonfly against the far wall so boomerang it to you and catch it.

Go to the west end now and take the foot path going south that is parallel with the river.

Upper Zora’s River

Go to the north part of this place. You’ll see a door to the Fishing Hole.

Fishing Hole

Well, this is where you fish. Go to the east part by the bridge and you’ll get fish often. After a bit you’ll even catch an Empty Bottle. In the shack is a cute babe named Hena. She runs things around here. Talk to her a few times and Lure fish with the canoe. Take the canoe north of where you start off and you’ll see a Piece of Heart on a ledge. You’re going to need to line up your fishing reel to lure it in. It is yours to keep when you get it. Now you can continue to fish here but leave for now.

Upper Zora’s River

You are here once again but go east towards the shack. See the bridge? If you’re running east towards it you’ll see the Female Dragonfly. Throw the Gale Boomerang at it to catch it.

Talk to Iza in the northeast and run around this area – three twilit beasts will be around you. Spin Attack them of course and then talk to Iza. She needs your help – agree to it. Use Bomb Arrows to shoot the nearby boulders and then you’ll be in a boat. This is a very scenic part of the game, going down the cavern with a canoe. Towards the end you’ll see Iza’s partner and you will be informed that you have to shoot the boulders ahead (twice) to advance. Do this and follow her afterwards and you get your bomb bag for your efforts.

Swim over to the clown’s place and get back on top. Summon Epona with the north grass and then start riding towards Zora’s Domain and back to Iza’s Boatshop. Save and talk to her. For twenty rupees you have a shot at getting the Giant Bomb Bag. The Giant Bomb Bags hold up to twice as much as normal (so 60 bombs). To get this you need 25 points (out of 30 total I think). Make sure you don’t hit stuff with the canoe or you’ll lose points unfortunately. Of course that’s why you saved so you could reload if you messed up. You need the Clown’s help to get back up and get Epona with the grass.

Ride north and east when you can toward Hyrule Castle Town. See the plateau with the ivy and the Gold Wolf to the left of the entrance? Go here to engage in another battle against a knight to teach you something. You will learn the Back Slice this time. The Back Slice Hidden Skill is kinda hard to learn as you have to sneak around your enemy and hit B fast.

To the south, do you see those white flowers? Search around them for a bug the Male Butterfly. Travel north on Epona to the North part of Hyrule Field.

Hyrule Field North

Travel eastward and you’ll see a rock and a tree near eachother. On the tree a gold shine shimmers, and put that gale boomerang to use to snatch the Male Stag Beetle. Ride to the very north edge now but stick to the west wall – you’ll see a suspicious boulder near the end so blow it up and enter. Not much you can do, so exit and look on the wall to your right. See the Female Stag Beetle? Well Boomerang it and get it.

Lanayru Province Hyrule Castle Town -

Yes it’s time to head inside the castle town. Talk to the old guy who wants money to restore the Hyrule Castle. Give him as much as you can, trust me. I gave him 260 for now. If you give him a total of 1000 rupees that a Heart Piece for you (an expensive one no less). Leave Hyrule to the south.

You’re outside in front of Hyrule. Go to the west on the minimap and you’ll see two sets of three trees. Go to the southern one and you’ll see a Female Ladybug. Catch the female ladybug and then let’s look for the male ladybug. It is on the east side, by a huge mesa. Lots of crows are around here (kill them all for a bunch of rupees). Walk slowly up to the flowers in front of the mesa for the Male Ladybug.

Hyrule Castle Town – Agitha’s Castle

Go back into town now after you get the ladybugs. Take the west substreet and go in Agitha’s Castle. Agitha is inside and she’s invited all 24 golden bugs to her party – but you are to collect them all. Give her one of your bugs (since Butterfly is the odd pair – you have one only – i give her that one) and then she rewards you with the Big Wallet . You can have 600 rupees now thankfully. Keep talking to her – if you give her a bug, she gives you 50 rupees. If you give her a pair, you get an Orange Rupee. That’s 100 rupees! Max your 600 rupee wallet out and return to the priest to give him some cash. You should have 19 bugs (9 pairs). When the priest donations reach 1000 you’ll get that Piece of Heart and then pocket the rest of the bug money.

Go to Telma’s Bar in the east part of town. There is a hurt Zora here, with Ilia. Ilia is having a memory loss I guess. You are to help the Zora and go to Kakariko. After some scenes you’ll see King Bulblin and it’s time to start riding Epona toward the bridge that he is on.

Hyrule Field

Out on the big bridge west of Hyrule is King Bulblin. He won’t be bested as easily as e was last time, instead he has a two-sided Shield so you can’t attack him. But you do have a bow and arrows so shoot him right in the center and he’ll veer left and right – he can still knock you off so avoid him and go to the other end and charge at him again and do the same thing. After a few shots he rams into the side and is thrown off the cliff. You receive the Gate Keys.

This part is terribly annoying. You have to fight an endless amount of birds and Bokoblin Archers on Boars. The last part is the worst as the bird will always impede your progress. It’s all about timing – make sure you kill the enemies right before the turns or your horse and carriage will get turned around at the worst time and it’ll take even longer.

Kakariko Village Eldin Province

The zora has passed through the worst of it. Some more scenes and talking. Telma will tell of you of a group. There is a passageway from her bar into Hyrule Castle even. After this you see a scene. Follow the Zora Queen to the Kakariko Graveyard

Kakariko Village Graveyard

She stops at the east-most grave. The Zora Sapphire image disappears as does the grave, revealing a place to crawl through. The Zora Queen is at the other end and she stands at a fish-like tombstone of the Zora King. She opens this tombstone to reveal the Zora Armor. This Zora Tunic allows you to breathe underwater – but you are more vulnerable to fire / ice. The Zora Queen disappears and you can equip the armor. Great, well Midna reminds you we should be worrying about the third Fused Shadow at the Lake Hylia Lakebed.

Leave this area and you’ll see how much faster you can navigate water – you swim faster, no oxygen problem, you can dive deep, etc.

Kakariko Village

Remember that kickass letter we received from the postman about Barnes and his new bombs? Well go to his shop in the north part of town and see what he’s talking about. First of all you need an open Bomb Bag to buy the Water Bombs. This means you have to go to the nearby counter and sell the bag that has the least amount of bombs in it. Keep one bag full of regular bombs and then buy Water Bombs with the other bag.

Zora’s Domain

Enter Zora’s Domain from the northwest path (so that you’re in the upper part. Bomb your way north so you can get to where all the Zoras were frozen. You then need to use those Iron Boots and go to the bottom of this area (north part of Zora’s Domain). Use a Water Bomb here to explode the boulder (the flaming boulder you brought over here) and talk to the Goron you just freed to get another Bomb Bag, your third Bomb Bag.

Lake Hylia

Make your way down here again so that you can get that third Fused Shadow. I did the Iza Boat Shop game to get down here. Go towards that purple dot and get your Iron Boots on. You’ll see the entrance to the Zora Temple here. Use a Water Bomb on that spot in front of the gigantic pillar blocking the entrance – a geyser will start shooting water up now. You’re going to want to place another Water Bomb on this geyser so that it rises up and blows open the rock just as it detonates. Go through this new opening.

Lakebed Zora Temple – Lake Hylia

You are now in the Lakebed Temple. You can only use your sword in this water with the Iron Boots. For now just swim as north as possible and then swim up to get out of the water. You are now on land. Get the treasure behind you for some much needed Water Bombs. On the west side are some arrows. Go up the stairs and jump back down through the center so that you jump on that switch hanging – this will open the gate and you can continue to the next room.

When you walk in a stalactite will fall to the ground. Get your Bomb / Bow combo ready and shoot the others (straight ahead in the fat part). Run down the path and jump up the next two ledges until you see a Helmasaur. These little things will charge you fast and can protect from the front (these guys are why you learned the Back Slice). Keep climbing up and if you go east near the door you’ll find some booty and 10 Water Bombs. Enter the door.

This is a large area as you can see. Where you are though, just go straight ahead to fight a Lizalfos. They are tough fighters at this point so you’ll need to be on your best as you L target them and fight. Defeat this one and enter the door. Go right down the stairs in this room and hang a left. You’ll have to fight some Tektites but these spiders aren’t much of a threat if you have the timing down for a jump attack. At the end of this path is a 20 arrow treasure. Move back a little and jump onto the switch – if you miss, climb back up and do it again. Jumping on these various switches will rotate the stairs. For now go back up those stairs. Take a right and follow the path to the east to find Ooccoo again. Go to the very west now to see a door, but look behind you and jump on that switch to rotate the stairs again. Go down the stairs and take a left for the Dungeon Map of Zora Temple. Go back to that door facing east near you and enter.

Fight through the Helmasaur (good practice with them) and go through the door.

First let’s run straight ahead without jumping off and pull out the bow / bomb combo. Shoot down the two stalagmites you see. Go down the passageway north. Climb that Ivy you see and take it to the left and get off. Look around and you’ll see a treasure a few platforms away. Also see a water geyser move a platform up and down periodically – well time it so that you can jump on that one and get the Small Key in the treasure. Go back west a few screens to the room with the rotating stairs.

Go up the stairs and take a right, and go through the door that is locked. Fight the Helmasaur in the next short entryway and then go through the door.

Take a right when you enter and grab the Water Bombs in the chest. Look on the ceiling to shoot some stalactites down. Climb on the stalactite that is near the center wall and climb that ivy up and then to the left and get down on the thin ledge you see. Look around you’ll surely see a gold switch you need to jump on. A gate will open when you do this. Go to the north end of the room and through the door.

You have a huge thing in the center of this room. When you jump on it, a Lizalfos jumps to to intimidate you. Kill him off with a Jump Attack and Ending Blow or whatever works. There is a door in the southeast – take it.

A quick right when you go through and you’ll see two keese – kill them and grab the Small Key. Go back through that center area and to the north part of the room that had the Small Key. Take a right when you get back to the north end here, and a boulder will bar your way – not for long, but when you blow it up with a bomb two Helmasaurs charge you. Take them out but as they are together you may have some issues. Continue east and through the door.

You’ll meet Bubble Bugs in this room. These creatures warrant some bomb bow action. Go east through the locked door and take a quick left. See that Ivy? Jump across and climb up it, and then start going along the path on that side of the room. You’ll fight about three Tektites and will come to 10 Water Bombs. After this chest climb up a nearby ladder and you’ll see a treasure to the east. But jump that direction onth the handle and that will open a gate. Start going down that winding path and the water will take you to the bottom. Go to the center part and press down on another handle to open another door. Staying on this floor, go back to where you used the key to open the locked door and you’ll see a door with water flowing into it. Go in.

Run through killing enemies you see until you get to the southeast – enter the door there and don’t go past the wheel in the water.

This big thing in the center is moving in circles. Drop down and you’ll see three circular platforms spinning in circles, like a ride at a carnival. Climb the ivy over to that end where you can climb up some ledges and Ivy to reach the top. From here you can jump on these moving platforms and you want to get off at the north ledge and go through the door.

Take a right and grab the Small Key. Defeat the weak Chus after you get it and return back to the previous area. Ride a circular platform to the east panel and enter the door.

Open the locked door and go down into the water with your Iron Boots. On the left is a Red Rupee and on the opposite end against the current is a 5 bomb set. Further to the west is a boulder that you can blow up with Water Bombs to continue westward. You’ll see a Shell Blade enemy and Shellbades like to block a lot and are only susceptible to your sword when they open their mouth.

You’ll reach a new area after a short time walking. Get those Iron Boots off and swim to the surface. You’re in a dangerous area, as you defeat three Tadpoles but look up to see a Giant Frog. This boss will release many more Tadpoles on you. Defeat all of the tadpoles and then he’ll try to jump on you. Evade him of course through spins and whatnot and then his tongue will be vulnerable. Attack it with jump attacks and ending blow eventually. After this you can shoot him in the tongue with the bow bomb if you’d like and it’ll open him up for more attacks. Once the Giant Frog dies you get a Clawshot. Zelda veterans know all about the Claw Shot or Hookshot. You can attack enemies or more importantly latch onto different things like treasures and indentations. It’s very useful overall. Use it to exit via the south (shoot the red thing).

You have to deal with the Helmasaur when you get in. It’s a simple Clawshot use to remove the armor and then kill it. Go straight ahead to exit and then take the west exit in the next room to get to the rotating stairs room.

The water rises as you get in and you hear a magic noise. Run up the stairs and when you’re at the top, look back and up at the ceiling. See the shiny chandelier? Use that Clawshot to get up there (target the red dot) and you’ll get a Piece of Heart. Clawshot to the top north part and jump on that lever to switch the staircase. Go to the lower west room now and enter this way – the water should be travelling through the west door.

Some Tektites are here to greet you. Kill them and slowly walk through. Go through the door.

See the treasure to your right? It is 10 water bombs and is accessible if you use the Clawshot on the target above and lower yourself. The pots further ahead are Yellow Rupees each but we need to get on the ivy in the northeast portion of the screen. Shoot up there and you’ll need to move nearby to some more ivy that leads to the door in the northwest portion of the minimap.

Kill the Bubble Bug to the right of you and go the opposite way (west) to get to a water geyser. Look up and shoot the stalactite with a bomb bow. Jump on it and jump across the path so you can continue. Kill the Tektites and then you have to Clawshot to the door.

Kill the two Bubble Bugs in here. Hawkshot onto the ivy and climb it to the north and drop down. Clawshot to the ivy across and begin your way up, taking care of the Helmasaurs as you go. Go all the way up for 10 bombs as a treasure. As you get to the top climb the ladder and jump on the handle to open a door. Look to the center and Clawshot to the treasure you saw earlier. It is The Compass.

Ride the path all the way down and go to the middle of the area on the bottom. Release that handle for another sluice gate to be released. Use the Clawshot to get to the southeast door to exit.

Jump off the ledge and you’re in some water. Go out through the east end past the water wheel (before it is a red rupee in a treasure – use iron boots). Past the water wheel is a door to go through.

Lots of stuff going on in this room. Defeat the Lizalfos in the center and jump to the southeast to exit.

The chest to your right is a Red Rupee. You’ll have to fight some Chus but get it and return to that center room with all the stuff moving around.

Drop off the right side here and you’ll see some ivy and a place to land anyway. You’ll need to ride a moving platform to the west end. Kill the Keese as you’re waiting, and then you’ll need to clawshot onto one of the targets on the west panel. From here, wait until you’re above the far west ledge so you can drop down and enter the door.

Jump into the water with the Iron Boots and sink all the way down. You’ll find a tunnel that leads to the upper left and center parts of the room. Look up after you kill the Jellyfish and you’ll see a ledge. Take the Iron Boots off for a sec until you get up to the ledge and put them back on. You see a boulder and some fish enemies rushing you. Kill a fish enemy near the boulder and it acts like a Bomb. Go through this hole now with the Iron Boots and blow up the boulder with some more Water Bombs. Swim to the surface, get on the ledge and exit.

Kill the Bubble Bug you see and then Clawshot onto the wall to open something up. Lower the chain of the Clawshot and you’ll come to the Big Key. Head through the west door with the Iron Boots. Now you have to swim back through that boulder you blew up and get to the east edge of this water maze. Enter to get back in the room with the two circular platforms spinning about.

Latch onto the west targets and drop on a platform that isn’t moving. As you are closer to the east targets you can use one of them and jump onto either a platform that isnt moving or one that is, and clawshot onto the ivy or something to get to the east door. Go straight past the Tektite and Water Wheel into the staircase room. The water level will rise here. Use the Clawshot to get to the east part of this room (hint – clawshot the ivy) and then jump on the handle on the lower east side. This rotates the staircase of course so we can exit through the east door.

Continue past the Helmasaur in this room and through the door. In this room the water level is so high that a wooden bridge floats up allowing you to get to a new area. Stand on the switch in the south area with that bridge and a gate opens up, but not fast enough for you to get through. You’ll have to Clawshot through and kill the Lizalfos on the other side and a Piece of Heart is your reward. Hookshot out of this gate and go to the west end to exit.

You’re close to the room with the rotating staircase. When you get there, jump into the pool and swim to the center. A Boss Key Door is here so use your Boss Key for the Zora Temple. Get some Fairy’s and hearts here and jump down when you’re ready.

Twilit Aquatic Morpheel

Put those Iron Boots on and walk to the center. This jerk appears in the center. He reminds me a little bit of the second boss in the dark world in Link to the Past. Anyway, you’ll need to Clawshot the eyeball and attack it preferably with a jump attack or quick slices. Watch out for the Bomb Fish and especially the tentacles – its hard to dodge with those damn iron boots on and when he catches ya, you have to get rid of the Iron Boots so that you can flee. After a few hits he comes out of that center area and changes his look.

Take those damn boots off because you have to fight him swimming around. This part is done horribly in my opinion as the bosses animation will always catch you even if you swim really far away from him. When he chews on you it takes off a heart. Not to mention the fact that you can be pressing A as fast as possible and you won’t catch up to him because the game didn’t give this area enough space so that he basically cuts you off from getting a good position on him. You’re going to need a lot of patience and luck to catch him with a Clawshot. When you do start attack wildly – you need to do this about three times to put Twilit Aquatic Morpheel away.

After the fight you get the last Fused Shadow. It’s time to confront Zant the King of Shadows. Get the Heart Piece and talk to Midna. It’s time to go outside.

Eldin Province

As you leave the Forest Temple with Midna you’ll have no Colin or Ilia unfortunately. Talk to the Faron Forest Spirit for a while and then Midna some. Go east and north now to the Lantern shop – you might want to fill a bottle of oil here. North and you’re in Hyrule Field.

Hyrule Fields

As you enter the Fields you’ll see Bokoblins around. You’ll also notice that to the north and east are clouds of darkness while it is light where you came from. This is because Twilight surrounds Hyrule.

Go north along the brown path that you see. Drop down the cliff and roll into the trees – one of them has rupees and the near tree will have a Gold Male Beetle drop down. You’ll have to wait a bit but go up to it once it goes down and choose Pick Up. You need to be still to do it. You can check the Collection Screen now to look at the Bugs and Beetles and other things you’ve caught and where you’ve caught them.

Back on that dirt path, where you just jumped off, you’ll see a Heart Piece in a tree. Lock onto it with the Gale Boomerang to snag it – you should have 4 Pieces of Heart now.

Instead of continuing north veer off to the east. A guy will run up to you, The Postman actually. He gives you a pointless letter but he’s basically here to teach you about the letter system – it’s near the collection screen and you can check it out to read important letters in the future.

Start heading north along the east side of the pond. See that steep cliff to the east of the pond with several trees? Check the north side of one of the northern-most trees and you’ll see a gold glow – Use that Gale Boomerang to bring it close to you and then it’ll start flying. Chase it and pick it up, it’s a Female Beetle.

You passed where you need to go, though. Head south from this female beetle and then east when you can. You’ll see a shroud of darkness, but Midna will ask you to go into the Twilight – choose to do this.

Elden Province

- Kakariko Gorge

You’re the wolf again so run north. You’ll come across Talo’s Sword – the wolf will smell it so that you learn the Youth’s Scent. You’ll see when you have your Sense on that you can see smoke arising from that scent.

Keep your senses on and dash, following that scent. Eventually three twilight beings will jump you. You’ve fought this group before, just take out one of them and then just use your charge attack to kill the other two (or charge attack to kill all three).

After this battle you’ll learn about teleportation. Remember those twilight portals that the darkness enemies came from? Well you can go on the map and teleport with your wolf among them. For now choose the North Faron Woods warp.

North Faron Woods

Warp here. There is a bridge right next to you up against a wall. Press Z to bring up Midna and tell him to teleport the bridge. Choose the destination – go to Elden Province and then Kakariko Gorge. The bridge is turned upright and taken to Kakariko Gorge and so are you.

Follow that scent across the bridge now. You’ll run into a gate to Kakariko Village. Enemies are on the other side (you can even attack them from this side). Of course on the right side you can dig through. Further east and you’re in Kakariko.

Kakariko Village

Three more shadow beasts to beat as you enter. A spirit of light will call you now. Go south into the water and further south and talk to the spirit – collect the Vessel of Light and then it’s time to start getting some Tears of Light. You now have a map full of locations to go after to get Tears of Light.

You’ll notice the scent leads to the southeastern house. Go to the back until you can do the Z Midna Jump. Do this three times to get on the house and walk on the suspicious area to fall through. You’ll see the kids and Barnes and Renado. Renado has a Cellar. Well, you’re gonna have to open it. Notice the torch in the center of the building? When you regain control, grab the piece of wood nearby and light both sides of it. Now go along the edge of the room, jumping across the ledges and lighting the candles on the wall. Light all four and the path opens up.

Drop down and you’ll have to fight three bugs. Just do the usual and jump attack them for three quick Tears of Light. Go north a bit and do three Midna jumps to enter the Graveyard!

Kakariko Graveyard

Alright, watch out for the Keese that swarm you immediately. Also get your senses out and look for a bug to dig out. L target it if you have to and then kill it for your fourth Teardrop of Light. Run west out of the graveyard.

Eldin Province Kakariko Village

You’re back in town now. Go due west on the minimap but ignore that ramp going way up for now. Instead stick to that wall and go north, killing the tough shadow bird. Further west and you’ll see a little chute the wolf Link can run through. Inside is a small area where you’ll want your senses on to see a bug. Leave this place now.

Go up the Dead End path (the huge ramp you passed earlier). Ignore the sign and jump, getting a dash to ensure you make it. Enter that door and jump down when you get in. Go by the oven door that isn’t lit, and then take the wooden stick and jump to light the torch. Take the lit torch to the oven and look, a bug comes out. Put your senses on and kill it, throwing the stick down first so you can attack.

Alright, exit this room to the east and you’ll be in the initial area of the hotel. Go up the stairs after you clear the shadow Bokoblin’s, and kill another Bokoblin at the top of the stairs. Inside this far room is a bug flying, kill it and then leave this hotel.

Get off this hotel balcony and go to the south part of the eastside buildings. You can climb up and start jumping north to different buildings. You’ll see one that has an area that you can fall through. In this building, see the block on the ground near where you fell? Push it closer to the wall (follow the indentation in the ground) and a bug will fall out – kill it and then leave via some Z and L-target Midna jumps.

You’re outside on top of this building again. Jump north and north more past that next building. Start climbing up that structure to the north and then you’ll see a shaky window. You can enter this building by Dashing and Jumping into this window.

Go up the stairs and put your senses on. Jump at the south wall where the dresser is. It’ll fall and a bug will come out. Kill this bug. Now that the dresser fell, get on top of it and climb up and exit through this little window. You’re on top of the building now. Go up the nearby ramp and then put your sense on and you’ll see a bug running away. Just look on the minimap where the two bugs are (a little big south) and go near here and you’ll see a building. Duck through the little passage on the side and you’re in. Get the stick up off the ground and light it in the nearby torch. Of course, you are to light the oven now. As this happens the whole house goes on fire! There are explosives everywhere so exit through the path that you came. Afterwards you’ll have three Tears of Light to pick up.

Go up the ramp that is a little north of this blown up building. At the end you’ll see a door that you can’t enter, but a little south and east and you can dig in. Attack the pots for the last bug in Kakariko Village. The others, they’re at Death Mountain. Jump down off this building a long ways (the wolf can make it) and you’ll be near a sign at the north part of town. From here you can enter Hyrule Field or Death Mountain but let’s go to the Death Mountain.

Death Mountain

Run up this path and go to the ledge on the side to Midna jump up. Talk to the Goron Spirit (use your senses) and run further up. You’ll have more Z and L Target Midna jumps to do. Move along and now you’ll be in an area with things being shot all about. Be careful where you walk. In the center of this area (use the minimap for help) you’ll see a bug crawling around, so L Target it and dig. Go north of this to the yellow glowing statue.

Listen to it and you’ll get a chance to mimic it to get it’s howl. Okay, you control the pitcher with the stick on the left and then you press A to howl. You’ll get some chances to practice this and then you gotta do the howl at the edge of the cliff. It is simple – Top howl, middle, bottom, top, middle, bottom. It may take a bit to get used to the controls but once you do it’s simple. You are to meet this golden wolf “with sword in hand” which means with Link later on.

Go northeast of this through a canyon and don’t worry about the geisers they can’t really hurt you. Just dash ahead and you’ll come to four Shadow beasts and you’re gonna have to beat two of them normally and then do the charge attack on the other two (or kill one and do a charge on three). As you can see there are Twilight Barriers throughout so it’s hard to make your way to one of them that is by itself. Overall this isn’t too hard and afterwards go towards the gate and ram it for a bug to start flying around. Kill the bug and you need one more Tear of Light.

Near the gate is a ledge on the east, and you’ll need to get here so you can do some Z and L Targetting jumps with Midna. Wait for the geysers before you jump. More geysers are in your way afterwards so just be patient and wait for them and keep running. When you see a ledge on the west, slow down and start walking up it. Another Midna jump.

Dash further north towards the last bug on the minimap and jump down some ledges. Watch out for the spiders and shadow birds and put your senses on for the last bug and last tear of light. You’ll be teleported now.

Eldin Province Kakariko Village as Link

Back in Kakariko, light returns and you are Link in human Hylian form. Talk to Eldin the light spirit of Kakariko to learn about Death Mountain. The kids will see you and you’ll meet the shaman Renado, Luda and Barnes.

Death Mountain

Just go on ahead to Death Mountain. You’ve already heard the conflict between humans and Goron. Climb up the wall and try to stop the Goron rolling toward you. You won’t be able to do this even though it’s like that tutorial you did in the farm with the sheep. Return back to the village to talk to Renado. He tells you that Bo, the Major of Ordon can advise you with the Gorons.

Try to leave Kakariko and you’ll run into Epona. She seems wild so you’ll have to hold left and right on the directional pad (just keep rotating) and if you mess up she’ll throw you. Run back to her and get on should this happen. After some controlling of her you’ll see the Seize option light up for the A button. Do this and you now have Epona back.

Hyrule Field

Jump the gate with Epona and you’ll see the mailman. You just got a message from Ooccoo. Well it seems we’ll be meeting up with him later on. Go south along the east wall as you see a bunch of trees. Near some flowers and grass is the Female Pill Bug.

Continue along the main path as you go south past the bridge. Just a little past this is the Male Pill Bug. Go to the west now, the southwest of this area to be exact. See that cliff sticking out that’s really tall? Look at the top of it and you see a Piece of Heart. Use that Gale Boomerang and pull it close – if you’ve been following the walkthrough that should be 5 pieces of heart so you have one full heart.

Faron Province Faron Woods

Take Epona all the way back here now. Go to the pond now, which is just north and west of your house. Remember that Golden Wolf from the howling event in Death Mountain? He’s waiting here and he’ll teach you the Shield Attack. You’ll enjoy this maneuver as it can open up the enemy for more attacks or it can send back projectile attacks if the situation warrants it.

Travel to Bo’s house in the south part of town. Mayor Bo is a sumo wrestler and earned the goron’s respect through beating them. He teaches you the basics, like B is to slap and A is to grab and you can move left and right with the stick. Try to counter Bo’s grabbing with a slap and just circle around him basically. The first round is simple but the second he’ll actually try and it may be difficult for you.

After you defeat Bo twice you’ll get the Iron Boots. These Iron Boots should be able to withstand even the Goron’s roll. Talk to Fado at his ranch twice and another minigame will start up. You have three minutes to herd all 20 goats into the barn. This isn’t hard, it shouldn’t be at least. Your reward is another precious Piece of Heart, your sixth.

Eldin Province Kakariko Village

When you get back here that same enemy will capture Colin. Ride Epona north and talk to Renado, and jump the gate to the west. This Bokoblin that has been stealing your friends is named King Bulblin. You gotta chase after him with Epona while his friends attack you from behind.

This first chase should be pretty easy. Try to charge up near King Bulblin and when you get close start that charge attack. Connect a few times with it and he’ll be gone. His friends can be annoying but you’ll have to deal with them to regain your charges with Epona. Just spin attack them also, they’ll fall off their boar quick.

After this ordeal you’ll be one on one with King Bulblin. I had trouble with this part at first as he kept ramming me off the cliff. Try to charge up fast veering from left and right so that he can’t set you up as easily, and then time a Spin attack. The goal is to knock him off his boar and off the cliff.

Kakariko Village

All the little kids are safe with the town shaman Renado. When you regain control get your health back at the Eldin Spring and then go to the north and enter the first west building (the one you entered via the left with the wolf). Inside is Malo the little one. Guess what, he’s selling the Hylian Shield for 200 rupees. Snatch that up since you probably have the max right know for your wallet (300 rupees).

In the very northeast part of the graveyard is a Male Ant near the back of a tree. To get the Female Ant go to the third house in the center-east block and search the broken up bed.

Death Mountain

Time to go to Death Mountain. Equip those Iron Boots when you get to the top and you can grab the goron and chuck him. Continue up the hill and more gorons will come your way. Keep chucking them.

Once you get to the north end you’ll see two gorons on the ground. You’ll need to Shield Attack them until they roll up into balls and then get on top of them. They will then launch you up so try to angle yourself to get to the upper floor. Continue to do this up the mountain. You’ll get to a Smoke Geyser so throw your Iron Boots on and you can walk through it. Some more launching and you’ll be at the Goron’s pad in no time.

Goron’s Ring

You’ll meet the leader here Gor Coron. He challenges you to a sumo match and he’ll whoop you the first time. Put those Iron Boots on and then wrestle with him. He’s still hard but if you side step him and then grab him until you can throw him off. You’ll earn his respect and he’ll tell you of their situation and of Darbus. They need your help so they open up the Goron Mines for Link to explore.

Second Dungeon – Goron Mines

This first area is full of lava. Continue north jumping across platforms. You’ll get to a point where you’re blocked but use your sword to swing through the wooden blockade. When you get to areas that are blocked by fire step on the switch with your Iron Boots to continue onward. You’ll only have a certain amount of time to do so, so you may wish to use your roll (press a) to speed things up. Continue to work your way north kill the Fire Slugs along the way and climbing ladders and jumping on platforms. As you reach the north part jump on the northwest platform and you’ll low it, opening the door. Go through.

Head north in this gigantic area and then east and down the stairs. You’ll reach an area with some enemies to kill like Bokoblin’s and then get the Small Key treasure. Go back to where you started but take the west fork instead of east and you’ll have to jump across some rotating platforms. Time it right and don’t jump too far – you’ll fall off. After two of these is a door with a lock – use that small key.

You’ll meet your first Dodongo in this area. Swipe it’s tail to kill it and evade the fire breath by all means. Follow the platforms in this room until you can get a good look on a platform of the stone structure area. You can jump into this area but beware a Dodongo is near. Kill it and pull the chain you see – release when you’re ready to run. You’re looking for a west path so that you can make it before it closes.

This room is full of water. Yeah, use those Iron Boots and watch your oxygen level. Step on the switch and you can climb on the ceiling. Go around west on the minimap until you can exit without those shoes on.

Past this water room is Gor Amoto’s room and he gives you a Key Shard. There are two more key shards. After this search behind him for the Goron Mines Map. Ooccoo is around here as well, in a pot up the ladder. Go through the upper door here.

Go across the room along the magnetic walls with your Iron Boots. Enter the door to continue.

Go to the switch and stand on it with your iron boots – now the magnetic field will have you on the ceiling so head to the northeast for a Piece of Heart treasure. Now it’s time to head back to the center and look on the minimap and you’ll see you have to go east to exit – just trudge with those iron boots along the path – unequip the boots to drop off.

Run over to the Bokoblins they showed and defeat them and the flaming keese around as well. Jump on the switch with your iron boots and the crane will start going – go to the east where it’ll pick you up, and unequip the boots to drop off at the north end. More Bokoblins and Keese to kill here and another switch but this time the magnetic field just picks you up before you have to move. Kill the Bokoblins nearby and enter the door.

Lots of Tektites around the water in this room. Clear the room of them and then use the Iron Boots (watch oxygen level) and go to the northeast corner for a Small key. In the opposite corner (southwest) you’ll see a block barring your way into a cage – well use the Iron Boots and drag the block away. go in the cage and get rid of the boots to float up. Jump on the switch here and you’ll be on the ceiling so walk the path on the magnetic strip.

Release to fall on the platform. Go to the ledge with the chest it is a red rupee. Look around to see a gate and a blue diamond. Attack this Blue Diamond and jump down and enter the gate that opened.

Two Bokoblin’s ambush you so make quick work of them. Go to the west part and get those Iron Boots on. Climb the wall and then take the south route first for a Piece of Heart and the north to reach a rope you can cut, revealing a bridge. Go through this way.

Slice through the wooden boards you see. Watch out for the Bokoblin archers shooting you and lean west as you get further north. You see a Beamos here (run! you can’t kill it…) but just south of it is a Small Key. Grab this and dash directly east to the locked door. Use the key and be sure to evade those archers.

Jump across and then go left and you’ll see a huge platform – wait until it shows three magnetic strips and jump on it. When you get to the first magnetic spot put those iron boots on and wait until it’s upright again to advance – continue this until you can exit.

You’ll meet Gor Ebizo here and get Key Shard #2. A new weapon is near for you. Behind Ebizo is a Yellow Rupee treasure, and then you are to climb the ladder and use that exit.

Look to your left and put your Iron Boots on – you can walk across and make sure you go to the ledge and go down all the way (look first so you don’t jump into the pit basically). Before you leave look around this platform for a yellow rupee and then the door.

You are in Biggoron’s room now. Biggoron is like fighting Bowser in Mario 64. He tilts the big island you guys are standing on so keep him in the center. He attacks slowly but hard, and that is the only time he is vulnerable to your attacks. When he attacks, do a jump attack to stun him. He will begin to charge at you after this so immediately backflip backwards a few times and get your Iron Boots on. Get ready to press a and then left or right to throw him in the lava (be close to the edge when he rolls). If you do this three times you will best Biggoron. He says to continue onward for the hero’s weapon.

The Hero’s Bow is your treasure. The smallest quiver is what you have and that carries 30 rupees. Rid yourself of the fire slugs around you and then look around with your bow and arrow – shoot the rope and you’ll have a doorway to enter.

In this room go to the far Beamos and it’ll begin to shoot – as will the other six or so. Return back to the entrance and get your bow out and begin to shoot them in the eye from safe areas. After this you can move them. Move the west one for a Compass and then the east one for a new room.

The last elder is here and you now have the Big Key. The chest near him is a Purple Rupee (50 rupees).

Back to the last room and move the south beamos to access a new area. Be prepared for the flaming keese around here – when you get to a fence roll into it to drop it. Now see the Dodongo’s on that little island? This is hard as it is a small space to fight two Dodongo’s. Kill them and then jump to the next ledge. Wait though, see the Flame Slugs on the ceiling? Kill them so that they don’t drop off and knock you into the lava.

Run forth to the gate. From here look up with the bow and you can shoot a dodongo, or fight it later on a magnetic strip (not smart). Go near the switch with the Iron Boots and then go north to where the locked gate is. Pull your bow out and don’t get dizzy, you’re upside down. See the blue crystal right in your face? Shoot it and then drop down and hop through the gate and into the new door.

Go south for a Purple Rupee in this room. Cut the rope on the other platform with your bow and arrow, and continue until you can jump on the switch with the iron boots. A magnetic crane will take you to the north exit so drop down and enter.

Get your bow out to shoot these Pollywogs. A Pollywog takes one good shot from an arrow to kill it. Go to where you can see the blue crystal and then shoot it with an arrow and continue through the door. You’ll come to two Bokoblins so kill them and then shoot the Beamos’ behind them. You can now continue on north this way.

This is that open area you probably recognize. Take care of the archers you see with arrows and the regular bokoblins with your sword. Go to that Beamos and the small key, or where it was. Shoot the beamos and drag it so you can go behind it.

Shoot the archers as you go across the path and then jump on the switch. Now jump into the water and onto the platform just across from the one the switch was on. Climb the pink ladder and go to where the magnetic crane is and it’ll take you to where you need to go – but first shoot the rope and then unequip the boots to drop down. It may make you sick but you have to do it. Get some recovery stuff before you enter the door, like a fairy in a bottle and hearts and so on.

Lots of Bokoblins in this room. You know what to do with the archers. When you get to a dead end, shoot the rope and the bridge will drop. Lots of melee bokoblins for your to charge attack and beat up. This is more fun than challenging here. Head on in.

You are greeted by Twilight Igniter Fyrus. The Twilit Igniter Fyrus has a red eye that is ripe for arrows. His attacks are strong but slow and if you are far away he can’t do them to you. Shoot that eye and go behind him near the back chain. Put your Iron Boots on quick and then grab and pull the chain.

Twilight Igniter Fyrus will fall down and you can do jump attacks and repeat attacks to his eye. After a few of these you’ll do an ending blow and he’ll be done for. If you are having problems reload your arrows and hearts in the exterior pots.

Darbus will be free but confused. Midna tells you about the King of Darkness, Zant. Another Heart Container and Fused Shadow for you and then talk to Midna to teleport out.

Colin and friends will be here and the spirit will tell you to go to the Light Spirit Lanayru.

Zelda Twilight Princess

Start up Zelda Twilight Princess and rename Link and/or Epona if you wish. Choose your settings and then watch the opening scenes – you’ll have some dialog but you won’t gain control for a while.

Ordon Village

Eventually you control Link once he gets a visitor outside of his house. He wants your help, but your horse Epona is gone. Once the dialog is over run around this area and get used to the new controls. It seems much more smooth and fast compared to Ocarina of Time (rightfully so) but still you’ll see the similarities.

Go northwest on the minimap (west part of your screen) to exit. Go north now until you can go west to a water area. Epona is here with a lady and she cleaned your horse for you. Hop on Epona and dismount, talk to the girl again and she wants you to play Epona’s Song with some grass. Jeez. Well go to the grass on the ground and begin to do this, and you’ll recognize Epona’s Song.

Hop on Epona and go back south. The guy who wanted your help went further south. Follow him and you’ll be at Ordon Village. Talk to everyone around here and throw the rocks and pumpkins to reveal Rupees. In the south part of town is a building with a deck-like porch area. Catch a Cuckoo Chicken and go on this deck and jump off towards the east on the minimap and you’ll fly over the fence into a previously inaccesible area.

Continuing working your way up until you see a ladder on the back of this building. At the top is a Yellow Rupee and another grass that you can play. This attracts a bird that you can attack things with. Hmm. Remember that swordsman from the first scene? He’s here messing around with his sword, talk to him to hear about Colin and Colin’s Fishing Pole that is being made so you two can play together.

Ordon Ranch

Go due south on the minimap in Ordon Village to get here (ride Epona of course). Talk to Fado on Epona and he’ll initiate a minigame. You have to herd all the goats into the pen on the west of the minimap. Just position yourself behind them and slowly push them in – if you go too fast you might pass them and get them in a different direction, and if you press the A button (whoop) too much they’ll attack you. Be calm and steady, it’s not too hard though. After this is done you’ll have some fences set up for you to jump. This may entertain you for a bit but do what Fado suggests and jump the fence and go north on the minimap to continue.

Save when you are prompted to so.

Link will be back in his house and get woken up. This song must sound familiar to those Ocarina of Time fans. Go outside near Epona to see Colin, Link’s best buddy. He finished his Fishing Rod but it’s at home.

Ordon Village

Head back into village. You can’t bring Epona, it’s her day off. Go in Sera’s Sundries but she’s upset about her cat. Leave and go a little farther down to that large hill. Climb up it and talk to the dude. Jump across now (make sure you pick up a good head of steam (or just roll to make sure)) and play to summon the bird. This time line this bird up above the guy who was complaining about the bee’s nest – you’ll see that Bee’s Nest and the hawk or whatever will knock it down.

Jump on the Sera Sundries building and then go to the farthest grass pillar for some more grass to blow. This time aim the hawk at the jumping monkey – the hawk will retrieve a Cradle for you. Bring this cradle near the bridge in the middle of town to see Colin’s mom. Follow Uli to the house and get the Fishing Rod. It was just finished and she was supposed to give it to you.

Return back to the beginning of the village and behind Fado’s house (it’s locked). By the beehive you’ll see something you can climb up – a Yellow and Blue rupee at the top. In the far east portion of town is Jaggle & Pergie’s house and near that is a lake with the cat. You’re going to want to get that fishing rod out and wait until a fish is underneath it and press C down to yank it to shore. Get two and the cat grabs the second one and runs back home.

Follow it and Sera will be happy. She gives you some milk in a bottle – but the real prize here is the Bottle. Any zelda fan knows you can keep all sorts of good stuff like fairy’s and potions in these bottles so after the milk is gone there will still be use for it. For 30 rupees, buy the Slingshot and 50 Pellets. Go back to your house and blow some targets and scarecrows up to impress the kids. It shouldn’t be too hard and like they say you can L target them. After all the targets are destroyed go to your house and shoot the spider on the ladder.

Climb up the ladder and enter. Grab the treasure for a Wooden Sword. This is a classic beginner weapon for Link. Go outside and start taking some shots at the kids, it’s fun to watch them dodge. Talk to them and a sword tutorial pops up for you.

Faron Woods

Get on Epona and ride north. Jump the gate and then go east after this as Epona can’t go north through water. The music will change in the following area so dismount and prepare to fight a Deku Baba. They aren’t too hard although their attack can be quick – attack with a jump attack from afar is useful. Go on through the path to see Talo’s sword. You can go further but you’ll be blocked, and it’s a bit dark in here.

Leave and take the east route before the cave. The guy you come to gives you a Lantern. Of course he has the fluid for the lantern that you’ll need to refill when it runs out. For now light the pit as he says and now you know how it works.

Go into the cave now and light the first torch. Fight through the enemies again and burn the web with the Lantern. Continue along west on the minimap until you reach a dead end with some keese and a rat. A treasure of a yellow rupee is here as well. Return back to the split on the minimap and go north. Finally, light.

Forest Temple path

You can see better and you’re in a really big area. The purple guy approaching from the northeast is tough and takes some hits. These are Bokoblin’s. A Deku Baba also lurks around. The west is gated off, if you go north though you’ll see some Keese and a cave entrance. It’s not that dark, so go through. Fight the Keese and Bokoblin along the way, you’ll see a Small Key in the treasure. It’s useful for locks like you saw on the previous outdoor screen to the west. Light the two torchs and a Piece of Heart appears. In this one you need 5 pieces of heart to get a heart container.

Go back to that gate in the west part of the big area. You can now enter the Forest Temple. Fight through some enemies and you’ll see Trill the bird. He wants you to buy a red potion (hp restoration) or refill your fuel. Since I wasted my lantern fuel i decided to do this.

Take the left path as you go up and jump down right on a yellow rupee treasure. Run down the hill now and kill the bokoblins and then start attacking the cage. It’ll break and the monkey and Talo are freed. Rusl talks to you before night time and reminds you that you’re going to Hyrule and could see Zelda tomorrow.

Ordon Ranch

Herd those things again but make sure you do it fast – you’re timed. It’s not that hard, just get the angle and give them the boot. Jump out of the gate and a scene occurs – it’s time to go to Hyrule but Epona is hurt. Ilia takes her to the forest spring. A goat runs you over after this.

Go north towards your house and Colin wants to go see Epona and Ilia with you. Go to the nearby kids now and give them your Wooden Sword. North and west to Epona but it’s blocked off. You must go back and then stick to the east as you’re running back. Go through the hole and you’ll have some scenes with Ilia.

However someone attacks and Link is knocked out. Colin and Ilia are taken away and Link wakes up in a panic. He runs towards them, towards the Forest Temple but he’s taken in and messed with by some evil guy. Link turns into a werewolf eventually.

Forest Temple

Now you’re in a jail. A little guy taunts you. Eventually he gets to the other side of the jail cell and you need to get there – attack the crate near the cell and start digging furiously. You’ll dig through. The weird guy joins you and will help you with Z. As you’ll notice the wolf has similar attacks to Link and his sword but is much more agile and harder to control.

Go to the other jail cell and L target that to pull a switch – you can run out now. You’ll come to a torch, so press X to use your senses. This is another cool feature so that you can see different things while this is used. The spirit near you is one of these things that you can see so talk to him.

North from here and west. Pull that chain and go in the tunnel, and then go east and south to pull a chain. This opens a door to the south. Take the east fork and pull the chain and dig around this area for some small treasures.

We can go north now that the water level rose. Careful of this area it’s infested by those black creatures and you can get killed in the water easily. This happens often since wolf link likes to jump around out of control. Another thing that complicates matters is that if these black creatures are around when you have something else targetted (like those chains) it’ll be really hard to hit them.

At the fourway fork go north for a path with a treasure and then west. You can dig in this one after you pull the chain. There is a second chain over here that lowers the water level. East and you reach a large gate but your new buddy ditches you. Yep, you’re going to have to make it over there yourself. Go towards the gate and east to go through a little passage. Talk to the spirit nearby and make your way across to rejoin your friend.

See the spiral stairs going up? You have to go up there but if you try to jump by yourself you can’t do it. Instead go up to a ledge and press Z to have your buddy help. L target him and press the jump button to get to where he is. It’s not that hard – do this until you get to the top.

You’ll have some Keese enemies to deal with here. Take them out and get on the stairs to the west part of the minimap. Press Z and do this fast – you’ll shoot up about 3 or 4 ledges.

Hyrule Castle

At the top we’re at a new place. Your new friend has someone he’d (it’d?) like you to meet. Go on ahead and talk to the spirit – he’ll mention about this being Hyrule. Continue to the right and push the crate against the wall and jump up them, and then go north more.

We’ll be stuck, but we can do the jumping trick with our friend again. Get on the wooden area and do the Z and L Target – jump thing a few times (3) until you get on a roof. Run across it and turn and go up into the new building. Go up the stairs and push the door open.

You’ll meet a mysterious lady. She tells of the shadowy dark figure who has taken over Hyrule. The king of the night. Took his army into Hyrule and made them surrender. People became spirits. After these scenes, you’ll meet Zelda. Your friend’s name is Midna. After the talk you are to leave.

When you do attempt to leave Midna reminds you of Ilia and Colin. Are they safe? You’ll transfer back to the other world, the light world, but you’ll still be the wolf.

Ordon Village

You’ll be back at the spring where Epona normally is. As you try to leave a shadow appears, it is Midna again. Go south back towards town. Okay, the male from Sera’s Sundries will attack you with a Hawk. This is a pain as it’ll continue to attack you and there’s nothing you can do. Well, go near Sera’s Sundries on a platform and use the L trigger to jump on the roof of the building, and then jump on a few platforms until you get to the husband. He’ll get scared and he’s not a threat anymore. Now jump down and go by the fishing dock to scare some humans – talk to the dog and then sneak up on the humans to listen to their conversation. They mention the Sword and the Shield…

Near the waterwheel there is another light colored platform where you can press Z and l target Midna to get on the house. Jump in, and then jump on the table. Another Z and L Target to get to the Ordon Shield, but you must attack the wall to get it to drop. The Ordon Shield will be burned by fire so remember that.

Get out of here now and go towards Rusl’s house. His wife is here as wel. Rusl will kill you if he sees you but you’s not fast. You want to go to the left of their house and use your senses – dig near the sparkly stuff near the wall. You’ll be in the house in no time – grab the Ordon Sword on the couch and dig back out.

Run to the spring now and a monster will come from the sky. He’s pretty tough and hard to hit. You’re going to want to L target him and do your jumping attack to bite him. The spring area changes to a golden color.

You will meet a light god, one of four that protect Hyrule, and this is Ordona. She explains the threat of darkness as they fiend the light power that Ordona the others have. If you are in the Faron Woods and can revive the Light Spirit you may be able to transform into your old self.

When you regain control go north and accept Midna’s proposal to go back to the Twilight. He’ll talk to you some more and hides your weapons for you.

Faron Woods

Go north when you gain control. You’ll encounter some evil dark beasts. They are pretty tough at first, taking off a heart but are slow with their attacks. Eventually you’ll get to striking fast attacks. Once two die the last one will revive them so go forth with Midna’s proposal to get all three enclosed while holding B and then release. The attack kills them all.

North of here and you’ll stop for a scene. Visit this spirit to the west and it’ll tell you about the shadows, the Twilight. You are to retrieve the light in a Vessel. The Vessel of Life. You are to fill it with Tears of Light. You acquire more of this by defeating Insects of Darkness.

Well go north and use your Sense skill and you will see two Insects of Darkness. Just L target them and rush ‘em. Grab the blue Tears of Light.

Go north at the upcoming intersection. Enter the building via the east ramp – you can press Z and L Target Midna to get up on that ledge and drop in. Talk to the spirit of that guy who gave us the Lantern. Insects of Darkness come out so defeat them and grab the Tears of Light. Talk to him again but he’s scared of the other bugs.

Leave and go north of the house to spot an insect on the north side of the house’s exterior. Kill it for your fifth light. Go back to that west passage and dig to the other side (use your Senses to see). Kill the Dark Insects as soon as you get in for two more Tears of Light.

You’ll be at the cave where you rescued Talo now. By the first torch use your senses to see that you can dig to the end of this area – a big shortcut. Not that it matters, but exit north and you’ll be at the Faron Woods.

Kill the dark insects with your Senses just as you exit. These can fly. Now stick to the east wall but if you go in the poison lake you’ll be warned by Midna. On the east side you can Z and L-Target Midna to get to land on the east side. Go up the slope as it goes west and do some more Z and L Target action, ignoring the birds. When you get in this tree pop your senses up and kill the insects, there’s three of them.

Go forward now and you’ll have to do these Midna jumps past a deku baba and up the tree. Now get ready for some more this time by a lot of Deku Babas! Be fast. Lots more jumping now this time down the tree, and you’ll encounter two more insects. You have to dig to discover them. Go on after you gain their light.

Three more of those evil beasts and you’ll need Midna’s help to make sure they don’t revive eachother. Further is a monkey spirit, save him from the insects and fill your Vessel of Light up. Light returns to the forest and you meet Faron. He tells you that since you are the beast that You are the chosen one.

You turn back into Link, with his classic Green Tunic.

You must now go to the forbidden Forest Temple. Go north to the Lantern Oil guy who is hanging out. He is selling a Bottle of Lantern Oil. Buy it despite it’s 100 rupee cost as having the extra Bottle is worth it.

Light a torch if you want or just run and cut your way through.

Faron Woods (Link)

You are back here and the fog is still here. Pull your lantern out and the monkey steals it. But follow him he’s actually trustworthy. You’ll get to the west gate and he’ll drop your lantern (out of fuel). Pick it up and follow him through the west gate.

Go by Trill’s and then you’ll see a Golden Wolf. This turns into a skeleton warrior who knocks you down when you attack it. It then teaches you to Jump and strick by L targetting and pressing A. This will be the Ending Blow, a useful technique. To learn more techniques from him listen to the Sound of the Wind, he says.

Forest Temple

Go north and kill the Bokoblins and then use a Lantern to light the web. Kill the Keese in the tunnel and north for your introduction to the Forest Temple.

Take out a Deku Baba and go up some vines to the east for a Yellow Rupee. Defeating the Bokoblin and Deku Baba at the north part and then shoot down some more skullwalltulas. Free the monkey by destroying the cave and follow him up the vine. Clear out the next area and go through the door.

A Giant Spider will greet you as you go up the bridge. Jumping attacks are effective for killing it. Further along pull your Lantern out and light all the torchs. You can travel north now, grabbing the Forest Temple Map in the big treasure to the east. When you go in the north room an evil monkey will try to kill your monkey by cutting the bridge down.

Return to the previous room and the monkey will set it up so you can swing on him to the east – release by pressing a at the appropriate time. Go to Link’s left as you enter and kill one of those spider bomb enemies near the far wall – it’ll blow up. Destroy the pots here and pick up Ooccoo who will teleport you in and out of dungeons when you want.

Go the other way and take it until you can use the Lantern to burn a spider web. In this area walk across and then to a gated door. Swim to the southeast corner for a Yellow Rupee. Take the door going north in this room and then go north again. The treasure to your left is a small key.

Go back to that locked door going east two rooms ago. Go through here and roll into the pole to get the cage to break. After that two Bokoblin’s come so kill them and swing on your monkey friends to leave. Go west two screens to that central room, and now that you have two monkey friends swing to the west end. Burn the spider web and enter.

Okay in this new room, you’ll see big plants that you can’t kill. Instead kill the red Deku Baba’s and then go up the stairs. When you see a spider bomb, kill it and drop it on the plant in the northwest. The plant in the south must have a spider bomb dropped from up top so that’s the next one to go after. Grab the Piece of Heart inside once that one is gone. Now go to where the first plant you killed was (by the first spider up the stairs. Grab a spider bomb and bring it across that gap and throw it so that it blows up the rock wall.

In this new room, go down and hit the totem poles. You’ll find a blue rupee and small key respectively. Run across the left side of this skinny platform as you’ll get sprung around if you take a different path. Grab the treasures (red rupee on the south minimap) on the outside and then light the torchs to create the path to the monkey. Kill the spider and use the key to save him, getting the rupees inside.

Leave this area and take the vine in the other room, and take this room you see straight ahead. Kill the plant that stole the Small Key. You have to throw a spider bomb in it to get the key back – save the monkey afterwards for a total of 4 monkeys.

In the central area they’ll all want you to go north now. Swing across them to the north room. Get the pots and get healed – the next room is the boss.

The Evil Monkey is here along with red Deku Baba’s to distract you. The evil monkey throws his Boomerang at you and you are to dive into the totem pole that he is on to stun him. When he tries to catch the boomerang he won’t be able to so go to town on his butt with jump attacks or regular attacks.

He has a decent amount of HP and when he’s gone a bug will come off him and his mind will be normal – he leaves the Gale Boomerang, the Power of the Wind. Good ole Gale Force Fairy Wind.

To leave this room hit the fan with the Boomerang three times. Go east when you exit and if the bridge isn’t facing you, hit the fan above it and it’ll switch to face you. Throw the boomerang at the monkey cage to free him and then go further south on the minimap and soon you’ll be in the plant / spider bomb room. Take the northwest exit into the room with the torch and the launch panels. At the end, boomerang the two torchs that are lit. They’ll then be unlit and you can get the Piece of Heart at the far west.

Return east to the central room where you can access all the different areas. Swing on a monkey to the center of this room and look up. See the treasure? It’s a Compass so throw the boomerang at it.

In the east room you can get the Big Key. You need to have the boomerang of course and get to the southeast corner of the room. There are four different fans but you must hit them in the correct order (press R to lock multiple Boomerang attacks) and follow the Z. If you follow the Z start with the awaymost when you boomerang and work your way in.

Now that you have the Big Key go north into the next room, taking the bridge north and following the monkey in the door. Hit the spinner in this next room to continue north.

In this room you’ll have to go on the left bridge and hit the spinner – then go on the next bridge and hit the spinner. Defeat the enemies around now including the skullwalltulas and climb the vine until you get on the platform above. Kill everyone and grab some rupees then enter the door.

Fight those red Deku Babas and then look to the north – see the Spider Bomb? Lock on and Boomerang the thing over here and then throw it on the flower monster. Grab the treasure for a small key. Getting the boulder to be destroyed is an entirely different issue as you’ll have to time your throw perfectly. Climb up and clear this area and get another spider bomb – this boulder will reveal a Monkey. You have six now. Go back a few screens to where there is one rotating bridge in the center – hit this spinner, and then get on the bridge. Hit the spinner again and go west.

In this new room, look up and attack the spiders. Kill them, but they’re tough enemies. Get the Lantern out and use it on the north spider web, and fall down. You’ll be next to a monkey, the seventh one. Break his cage and climb up the vines.

Go east directly now into a room you haven’t been through. Okay, stick to the northeast although you may have to kill some of the tiles with the boomerang. There is a path here and a vine. First, take care of the enemies though. At the top hit both of the fan switches to release the last monkey. The treasure chest in this room is a Red Rupee, by the way.

West a screen now and then north. The monkeys will allow you to swing over – you need the Big Key but you have it.

Forest Temple Boss Twilit Parasite Diababa

Twilit Parasite Diababa will appear in the poison swamp of the Forest Temple. Feed the two”heads” some of those spider bombs. How to do it? Target the spider bomb with R and then target a head and it’ll go to that head.

After this happens the real head appears – those two previous ones were arms. Okay, well now the baboon is back. He swings around with a spider bomb and you need to target that and then the center head. If you do this without getting attack by the two arms then the head will blow up and you can run in and attack with your sword. Get in the Jumping attacks by holding L and pressing forward and A. After you’ve hit Twilit Parasite Diababa it’ll start breathing poison towards you so avoid as best as you can. There is life and other items in the pots nearby. After the battle grab your first Heart Piece. Also you get a Fused Shadow. Talk to Midna to warp out and save.
