Rolljump/sword: Roll jump and swing your sword in the air which will make you go a little farther with proper timing unfortunately once you've drawn your sword you wont be able to grab on to a ledge. Saving deku sticks: If you have a burning deku stick you can put it away before it burns out and save it, the quickest way to put it away it so draw your sword. Because let's face it why lose a stick to fire when you can lose it by breaking it on the enemy's face (for double the damage of the kokiri sword). --useless tricks-- Backflip draw: A useless/cool looking way to draw your sword while backfliping. Just backflip and draw the sword just after starting the flip and Link will pull out his sword without swinging it. Roll draw: Another useless/cool looking way of drawing the sword. The timing for it is a little harder but if you try to draw your sword as you hit the ground from a fall where you'll roll Link will draw his sword without swinging it and roll. _____________________________ |=====Monster Battling=====| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ This is the section on how to safely battle some of the tougher monsters in the game, one of the keys to beating most of them flawlessly is using deku nuts: Lizofos - Those annoying enemies you first find in Dodongo's cavern. If you have your shield this battle is very simple. Just Z-target while holding the shield up until they attack. Once they attack and his your shield jump attack them. After two jump attacks with the kokori sword the one you're fighting will run away. If you have some spare sling shot bullets you can snipe him other wise he'll stay away forom you until you give his partner an equal beating. If you don't have a shield you'll want to use a deku stick and simply don't give them a chance to attack you. The easiest method is to use a deku nut to stun him then one jump attack with a deku stick will send him running. If you don't have a deku nut or deku sticks you can simply back flip or side jump as they attack at you. Another method if you have a good ammount of deku seeds is to keep your distance and go postal. Stalfos - You first meet these in the Forest Temple. You'll only ever fight one as child link so I'll get to that strategy last. Stalfos have two attacks, a standard swing attack and a jumping swing attack. These guys take off a lot fo life in each hit so you'll want to use deku nuts to prevent them from completing their attacks. Because they have a shield you can only stun them with deku nuts when they're attacking. For any attack you can stop them at any point by using a deku nut. To dodge their attacks you'll make a lot of use of the jumps, particularly to the sides. It's a simple sideways jump to dodge their attacks and you get a free hit. If they jump attack at you you can jump attack at them and you'll both jump past each other but unless you're fast you'll likely miss your chance to attack. Another safe way to play it is using the bow and arrow. Simply dodge and shoot, you can usually get two or three arrows in. When you fight the stalfos as a kid you have this cool item called the boomerang that can go around their shield and stun them. This simple fact makes the whole battle simple. Keep in mind though that dodging attacks as a kid takes double the jumps. Iron Nuckle - Iron nuckles are easy to beat flawlessly. Just inch close enough that they swing and step back out of range of the swing, they'll either swing twice or swing once and get the axe stuck in the ground. If it gets stuck immediately jump attack and wait until they pull it out to back flip out thus triggering the next attack. If they swing twice after the second swing jump attack them back flip out, because you were in range they'll immediately swing again. When the armor breaks off there's a stupidly easy method and the canopener method. The can opener is kinda simple keep attacking, if they get hit durring an attack it'll stop their attack so they litterally won't get a hit in. The stupidly easy method is to target and run back/away as you shoot them with arrows. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get the kokiri sword and shield and collect 60 more rupees. Go into the lost woods and take the first two lefts. Drop down the cliff and go to the business scrub next to the gossip stone. Buy the Deku stick upgrade and head to the great Deku tree. _______________________________ |=====After the Deku tree=====| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Assuming you got all of the available Gold Skullita's you'll have 3 (you have to come back with bombs for the fourth one). Now when you exit the forest Saria will give you the ocarina before you're allowed to completely leave. Hurry across the field to Hyrule castle make it in before the wolf howls and take the first right into the room with the pots. Roll into the far right crate and kill [GS004]. Collect about thirty rupees and go into the main market. Walk to the building with the huge bulls-eye on the side and enter. It's the shooting gallery, play the game and get the first upgrade for the Deku seeds. Walk back out and notice that Malon is waiting by the fountain. Now go to see Hyrule Castle from there return to the market and you'll see that Malon is not there. Walk back to the Hyrule Castle screen and you'll see Malon standing by the climbable vine. Get the egg from her and put it on a C button. Now walk back into town and avoid the other dogs as you walk to the corner under the guy looking for the sunrise. The white dog will follow you as you wander around. Go into the alley and return the fat lady's dog in exchange for [PoH01]. Walk back into the main town and go into the one lit building. It's the Treasure Chest game. You might want to collect some money from breaking pots first, depending on how you do at this. If you look closely at the seams of the treasure chest, you can see a few pixels change occasionally since the key spins around while it's in the chest and it's white, this will be your means of getting the piece of heart. If you don't have the patience or the eye for the trick come back for this later. Assuming you got the [PoH02] go back to Hyrule Castle. As you near the tree the owl will start talking to you, once he's finished roll into the tree he was on for [GS005]. Now proceed as usual to visit Princess Zelda. ____________________________ |=====After the castle=====| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Once you've talked to Zelda and learned her song you'll appear outside the castle. Run across the field to Kakoriko village when you enter roll into the first tree (coincidentally the only tree) and kill [GS006]. Now to the back of town and to the grave yard. Proceed to the back of the graveyard and play Zelda's Lullaby to get into the composer brother's tomb, learn the sun's song and head back. Once in the graveyard play the Sun's Song and make it night time (it's midnight so Dampe's gone to sleep). Now get the Hylian shield and [PoH03] from under the graves. Go back into Kakoriko and walk to behind the skullita house where you'll find [GS007]. Go to where the building is being constructed and you'll see [GS008] on the back of the brick pillar. Now run up the stairs toward the guard but turn around when you're in front of him and you'll see [GS009]. Now show the guard Zelda’s letter and go to the look out where you'll see [GS010] on the ladder. Shot it with your slingshot and collect the token on your way up. From the top of the look out walk to the front opposite the side of the ladder and z- target. Now hold left and sidestep toward the left railing, jump as you get to it but keep holing left and link's screaming will be interrupted when he catches onto the seam of the fence nearest the building with the man sitting on it. Climb onto the fence then on to the building. Talk to the guy and get [PoH04]. Now go to the left of the building opposite the side the man is on and you'll drop down in an enclosed area where the old hag's potion shop is later. Drop into the hole and come back out. Once outside play the song of storms to make it day time and there will be a cucco near you. Throw him over the fence near the wall and climb the ladder to your left. Once at the top of the cliff next to the windmill you'll see a cucco walking around. Float down with him and start tossing the cuccos in the pen (I only explained that part cause they're the two hardest ones to get to). Once you have the bottle run back to the graveyard. Before going through the gate you'll see some weeds with a rock in the middle of it. Pick up the rock and bottle the bugs that come out. Now take the bugs to the dirt mound in the left corner of the grave yard and collect [GS011] (remember to rebottle one of your bugs...you'll need them). On your way out of Kakoriko swing by the house of Skullita and pick up your Adult's Wallet. Now head back to Hyrule Castle and pick up the keton mask. with the new mask run across the field to Lon Lon ranch (assuming it's night time when you enter) go to the only tree next to Talon's house and roll into it collecting [GS012]. Make your way around the horse pen and you'll see a wooden section of the fence where you'll collect [GS013]. Continue across the field avoiding the birds to the tall pillar. Walk into it and pull the corner milk box out a little, go through the crawl space and collect [PoH05]. walk back out into the ranch and play the Sun's Song making it day time. Talk to Malon in the middle of the horse pen and learn Eponia's song, go into Talon's house and win his cucco game to get the second bottle. Exit Lon Lon Ranch and go back to Kakoriko village, once there give the Keton mask to the soldier and return to Hyrule Castle for the Skull mask. Now go back to the lost woods (make sure it's night time when you enter). Once there go behind the house to your immediate right and collect [GS014] by the shop use your bug in the soil to collect [GS015]. Now enter the lost woods, take the first two lefts and you'll see another mound of soil; collect [GS016]. Go back the way you came (the stalchild on the tree stump won't talk to you yet). Go strait and strait again which will put a tree in front of you with a bulls-eye hanging from it. Shoot thee perfect bull's-eyes (score 100 points three times in a row) and collect the biggest seed bag. Now jump down the ladder and you'll see two stalchilds on a long tree stump, play the ocarina with them and collect [PoH06]. Climb back up the ladder and go to the right, you'll see the stone entrance to Goron City quing you to take a right where you'll see the water entrance to Zora's River. Now go left and you'll see all four paths identical go left again and you'll see two business scrubs near a mound of soil. Kill the scrubs and plant your bugs in the soil to receive [GS017]. Now run in the tall mesh near the tree till you fall in a hole. Put on the skull mask and walk out on the stage and collect the second stick upgrade. No continue through the forest and learn Saria's song. Once you get it and return to the lost woods take a wrong path on purpose to take you to Kokiri village. Walk back into the lost woods and go left. Stand on the tree stump and play Saria's song to collect [PoH07], show the stalchild the skeleton mask and he'll buy it. Now go back to Hyrule castle and pick up the spooky mask go to the graveyard in Kakoriko and sell the scary mask to the kid there. Go through the path the guard opened to Goron city. Once there drop down to the bottom floor and play Zelda's lullaby to get into Durana's room. Play Saria's song for him and collect the Goron's Bracelet. Light a Deku stick and light the torches around the jar making it move, now run a lit stick up one level and light the two torches next to the Goron in front of the lost woods entrance. Take a lit stick to the bomb flowers by the rocks blocking the path and light one of the bombs clearing the path to the lost woods. Now run to the path leading up to the next level and pick the bomb flower in the corner. Turn and run to the spinning pot and throw it in. When the bomb goes off the pot will start spinning if it lands on the happy face (it'll land on whatever face it's on when the cut scene begins) you'll collect [PoH08]. Now exit Goron City and take a right where you'll see a bomb flower partially fenced in. Pick and throw the bomb flower down below opening the entrance to Dodongo's cavern. Now pick it again and throw it away from you. Face away from the fence but diagonal so the Goron is to your front right and Z-target so you can back flip over the lowered part in the fence landing you on the edge of the cliff above Dodongo's cavern. Collect [PoH09] (refilling your life lost from the fall) now hop off of the cliff and you'll see a mound of soil at the entrance to Dodongo's Cavern, Use your bug there and collect [GS018]. ___________________________________ |=====Inside Dodongo's cavern=====| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ There are a total of 5 Gold Skullita's in Dodongo's cavern but one requires you to come back as an adult with the scarecrow's song and hookshot (but we'll come back for another that requires the boomerang or hookshot also). The most missed one other than that is: In the area with the first baby dodongos there's a bombable wall on the left before the ground becomes elevated, lure a dodongo there and kill them so their death explosion clears out the wall. Now go into the next room and collect [GS019]. __________________________________ |=====After Dodongo's cavern=====| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ At this point, you should have 21 Gold Skullitas. Take your bombs part of the way toward Kakoriko and you'll see a strange looking wall to your left, bomb it and there will be [GS022) (you can climb the wall it's on). Now go up death mountain to where you'll see the entrance to Death Mountain. Run in and you'll see a crate by the entrance, inside is [GS023]. Continue strait and you'll see a big rock in the middle of a circle of smaller rocks, bomb it and drop into the hole (to reset your 45 second timer). Go back out into the volcano and continue away from the way you came in and to the right of a large rock on the edge of the cliff. Climb down the wall and into the indent where you'll find [PoH10]. Hurry back to the hole to reset the timer again on your way out (I made the whole trip in 42 seconds once which included getting the GS and the PoH but I almost wet myself on the way back thinking I was going to die). Once outside bomb the strange looking wall and walk in there you'll find a Great Fairy. After getting your sword spin go talk to the owl and let him take you to Kakoriko. He'll set you down on top of the roof of the cucco lady's house. Go to the right where the cucco pin is and drop down where you'll find your self next to a crack in the wall leading to [PoH11]. Walk back out and collect your Stone of Agony (very fitting name if you already know where everything is). Now head to Hyrule castle and in the market pick up your bunny hood. while you're there go to the bombchu bowling alley and pick up your first bomb bag upgrade and [PoH12]. Sell enough bugs to get you 200 rupees and head to Zora's River. Also, go get Din's fire though it's optional right now. Before bombing the rocks talk to the owl and roll into the tree exposing [GS024]. Bomb the rocks and go buy five magic beans leaving you with 50 rupees (the next one cost 60 rupees). Go break the circle of rocks, cut down the bushes, and float through the water to get 10 more rupees and buy the 6th beans. (There's no Gold Skullita in the hole next to the bean seller). With little to no rupees head back to Kakoriko and stand at the tree, take about ten steps forward, and start excavating! One of the dozens of bombs should open a hole that has two redeads inside. After killing them you get 200 rupees. Head back to Zora's river and buy your seventh and eight beans leaving you with 50 rupees. Venture through the river little till you see a log leading out into the water. Walk out on the log and play your four of the songs for the frogs (you get 50 rupees for each new song you play them so after the third you'll be maxed out but you don't really need the money anyway). Go back and buy the ninth and tenth magic beans from the guy and start planting (I always wait till I get all 10 to start planting so I know how many I've bought). !!!!!Remember you can still collect gold Skullitas from holes even after !!!!!you've planted the beans there. Now pick up the cucco and start up the river, it's pretty simple most of the trip until you get to the two small waterfalls. Fortunately, you can jump diagonally off of the platform you were first on (the one with the log leading to the singing frogs hanging off of it) and land in the shallows of the waterfall where it dips down. Now toss the cucco up on the next platform and jump up and take it. Walk to the left up the hill leading to the entrance to Zora's domain. Walk past the platform where you play the ocarina and jump using the cucco to glide you to the platform with the piece of heart. To save trips try to land next to the piece of heart then get [PoH13]. if times well enough you can finish the talking and pick up the cucco again before he runs off (if you miss it simply go back to the beginning and get the cucco again but you'll want to use this chance to practice the next time you pull this trick it'll be a lot harder to go back). Whether you have to go back or not after the cucco go back to the area where you had to toss the cucco up to the top ledge. Now jump to the left going down stream and you'll see a little land sticking off of the large land formation in the middle of the river. Toss the cucco and climb the ladder where lo and behold there's another one. Take this cucco and walk across the thin wood bridge to where the gossip stone sits alone on a circular platform. Jump with the cucco toward the [PoH14] on it's own little ledge sticking out of the water. Head back to where the piece of heart by the entrance to Zora's domain was and jump into the shallows next to the ladder. Once it's night time you'll see [GS025] on the ladder. Now go into Zora's domain. First off head up to see King Zora there is one unlit torch on the way up and two lit torches at the entrance to his chamber. Light a Deku stick and run down to the unlit torch and light it (it's one that never goes out). Now light a stick again and run down by the shop and light the first torch. Quickly draw your sword (puts out your Deku stick) and relight the stick and roll toward the torch in the shallow water (rolling in water doesn’t put the stick out but being submerged does). Once it's lit hug the wall and keep rolling till you're under the waterfall and light the two remaining torches. When all four are lit at once you'll get [PoH15]. Now head back up to the top of the waterfall and play the diving game (you actually make money since it cost 30 and he throws 6-7 rupees worth 5 each). Collect the rupees and go get the silver scale. Now head dive into the hole and go to lake Hylia. Grab the bottle with a letter in it and swim shore where you'll see two scarecrows. The one farthest from the water will ask for an 8 note song so make one up. Now swim to the fishing pond. Go in and pay 20 rupees to fish to get [PoH16] you'll have to catch a 10 pound or bigger fish (basically the one in the middle by the log). After you've caught the fish leave and swim across the lake to the island with two pillars on it. Once there make it night time if it isn't already and collect [GS026] (and a fairy spirit). Now follow the two bridges to the Laboratory where you'll find a mound of soil, use your bugs to collect [GS027], and plant a magic bean there. Swim back out and dive to get to Zora's Domain again. Take the letter to King Zora and he'll let you behind him to where Lord Jabu Jabu is. Go put a fish in the bottle you just emptied and head back up to behind Jabu Jabu. Before going in to to the immediate right from entering and roll into the lone tree exposing [GS028]. Bomb the wall touching the silver rock and get Farore's Wind before heading back to Jabu Jabu. Empty your fish in front of him and he'll suck you and the fish into his belly. _________________________________ |=====Inside Lord Jabu Jabu=====| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ There's four Gold Skullitas in here other than that there's really nothing hard in here to get to, until you get the boomerang use Deku sticks on the electrified jellyfish or throw Princess Ruto at them. When you fight the giant octorock stun him with the boomerang and if he's not facing you, you can run around the platform, either way one jump attack with a Deku stick kills him. _______________________________________________________________ |=====Collecting stuff before going to the Temple of Time=====| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ You're back outside if it's day time make it night and you'll see [GS033] on the wall across from the log you started the screen standing on (there was 4 inside Lord Jabu Jabu). Go back out into Zora's domain. In Zora's river head out to Kakariko village, if you see the running man doing laps around Lon Lon Ranch, DON'T TALK TO HIM YET. Go to the house of Skullita and get your Giant's wallet. Now run into the graveyard and make it night time, in the far right corner there's [GS034] on the wall. On the way out plant the magic beans in the soil. Now head into the windmill and look up at [PoH17] when the moving platform puts you on the left side moving away from the piece of heart, throw the boomerang up at the top part of the heart and it'll be pulled down to you (it may take a few tries). Now head out to the field and sell the running man the bunny hood (he maxes out your rupees, so if you sold it to him when you had the adult's wallet you missed out on 300 rupees). Now head to Hyrule castle and get the mask of truth. If you don't already have Din's fire go get that now. Leave the castle and take an immediate left and cross the river and you'll see a lone tree, bomb the tree and a hole will open with [GS035] on a cobweb in the corner. Now head across the field to Lon Lon Ranch and enter at night time. On one of the window shudders on Malon's house you'll see [GS036]. Run to the right of the pillar where you previously got the piece of heart and you'll find [GS037] on the wall. Head back out into Hyrule field and toward Gerudo valley. On the way up you'll see a circle of rocks in the red soil area. Bomb in the middle of the circle and you'll find a hole with [GS038]. Leave the hole and head into Gerudo valley. At night time if you look to the waterfall you'll see [GS039]. Now pick up the cucco and look out at the river below, on the right you'll see a waterfall. To the left you'll see a lone crate out on it's own platform (yeah remember the thing to practice in Zora's River). Glide to the crate, set the cucco down and break the crate. Now pick it up again and get [PoH18]. If you're fast enough to pick the cucco up again before he runs off the ledge give your self a pat on the back if not or if you fell off the platform while patting yourself on the back you'll have to ride the river into Lake Hylia and run back through Hyrule field to Gerudo valley where you'll get to take the cucco toward the waterfall. If you're still on the ledge holding the cucco pat yourself on the back while rubbing your stomach and jumping off toward the waterfall (ok fine you don't have to do all that other stuff just go toward the waterfall). You'll see a piece of land on the left with a lone cow and lone Gerudo. From there run as close to the waterfall as possible and jump in the water. Under the waterfall, you'll see a ladder leading up to a hold in the rock wall with [PoH19] in it. Go to the Gerudo and the cow and you'll see a small patch of soil, Use your bug (it doesn't matter if you keep it or not it'll be a while before you need them again) and collect [GS040], and plant a magic bean. Jump into the water and ride it to Lake Hylia. If it's night time on the side of the lakeside Laboratory you'll see [GS041] (stand on the bridge and throw the boomerang at it). Now head out of Lake Hylia, climb the ladder leading to a ledge over looking the square fenced in area. Jump into the middle of the fences and set a bomb down and it'll blow a hole in the ground. Inside you'll find a business scrub who, for 10 rupees, sells you [PoH20]. Now head out of the hole and to Kokiri village. First off head back into the Great Deku tree (I bet you forgot about that bombable wall in the room with the baby gomas). And you're thinking, "Crap I gotta go through this whole stupid thing again." Jump through the gaping hole in the floor in the first room and you'll see a block you probably pushed down to use as a jumping stool, climb up the block and go through the crawl hole on the far wall, in that room is the bombable wall with [GS042]. Now leave the Deku tree and plant a magic bean in the soil next to the shop. Go into the lost woods and take the first two lefts and plant a magic bean. Backtrack to the first screen and go right then left then right then left then left and you'll be on the screen with the forest stage. Plant the beans in the soil and jump into the hole and show off your Mask of Truth to get the first Deku nut upgrade. !!!!!Don't go to the Temple of Time and become an adult until you've shown !!!!!the mask of truth on the forest stage or the Deku nut upgrade will be !!!!!permantly lost Now at the entrance to the sacred forest meadow, bomb the rock and jump into the exposed hole. There's two business scrubs, one sells the second Deku nut upgrade. Head back to the entrance to Goron city and climb to the top where you usually come in from. Now that you have bombs blow up the rocks to your right and go to the far left room which is a rock maze, you're thinking "Man I'm gonna use all my bombs" ...well... *chough*right,left,left,right*cough*. You'll see a gossip stones and a crate in the corner containing [GS043]. Head back out and see the huge rolling goron below, blow him up and talk to him and he'll give you the biggest bomb bag (it may take a few tries). Now head back to Kakoriko village before you enter make it night time and enter right after the wolf howls (the grave digging tour is only from 6-9 that would make it 6pm). Assuming you've followed my instructions so far you should have over 400 rupees still to waste trying to find [PoH21]. With 42 Gold Skullita’s you can go get some bombchu's from the house of Skullita (you might need it later). _________________________________ |=====To the Temple of Time=====| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ By now you should have a full row of hearts and one on the second row and one piece (if you did the treasure chest game), and 44 Gold Skullitas (that's what I always have at that point). Now's your chance to do all of that fun stuff to see if it's on your game namely the dying soldier in the alley in the market. The only miss able item in the whole game is the Deku nut upgrade from showing the mask of truth on the forest stage. If you don't have it before becoming an adult for the first time it'll be gone for good (then you wouldn't have a 100% file). ___________________________________ |=====After becoming an adult=====| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ This is where the fun comes in, the two most challenging things in the game come now, going through Gerudo's fortress highly unequipped, and completing the Biggoron's sword side quest without Eponia or the hookshot. When I play through the game I'm all about making it harder so the temple order I'll be talking you through is Fire, Forest, Water, Spirit, Shadow. Head out of Hyrule castle and strait to Lon Lon ranch (make sure you have at least 50 rupees). Go in and talk to Ingo by the horse pen, he'll charge you 10 rupees to ride the horses, you can get the money back by jumping each of the two fences (five rupees each). Remember to play Eponia's song to get Eponia to come to you. You can't win the race with Ingo with any other horse. Once the time is up pay for another minute on the horse, get your money back and talk to Ingo while on Eponia he'll ask you to race him for 50 rupees (note that he only charges you if you lose but you have to have 50 rupees before he'll race you. Ingo is generally easy to beat when you have three things in mind. First don't try to pass him immediately or you'll be pinned up against the wall using carrots and you may or may not end up ahead of him, if you don't you'll be down about half your carrots. He makes wide turns so as you come to a turn stat using carrots and make the turn tighter than he does thus passing him. Once you're in front of him just stay directly in front of him so he can't pass you and use the carrots as they regenerate. If you need to regenerate carrots don't use them all after five seconds they'll start regenerating and they'll come back one a second, so every six seconds use one carrot and you'll gain 2 and use 1. When you get to the last stretch, use them all for the win. The second race it a little tougher but as long as you keep in mind the three things from above you'll do fine. After winning the second race Ingo will lock you in...simply jump any of the walls of the ranch and you have your self a horse and if you won both races on the first try and got your money back from jumping those fences you got him for free :D now head to Gerudo Valley and jump the broken bridge on Eponia. Hop off and head in on foot. _____________________________ |=====Gerudo's Fortress=====| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ How to go through Gerudo's Fortress without the biggoron's sword, hookshot, or bow and without getting caught or knocking out a guard. !!!!!If you get caught and you don't have the hookshot/longshot you'll be !!!!!thrown out in front of the carpenter’s tent instead of in the normal !!!!!cell When you walk in go past the stairs and hug the wall as it turns into one big rock. There's a door in front of you and a Gerudo pacing back and forth. Stay behind the rock while keeping your distance and wait for her to start walking away from you. Run into he door in front of you and you'll find yourself in the room with the first carpenter. When you go to talk to him a Gerudo will drop out of the ceiling with two swords. -----Battling the Gerudo with two swords----- This is a simple battle as long as you have Deku nuts...if so you can end it flawlessly in about ten seconds. Deku nuts can stun her in the middle of any of her attacks including her special attack that catches you if you get hit by it. When she's not attacking and you throw a Deku nut one of two things will happen she'll either A.) get stunned or B.) block it. Is she gets stunned you can do a jump attack which will knock her on her butt which gives you time to immediately follow up with another jump attack. If she blocks it immediately follow with a jump attack and you'll hit her as she lowers her guard back to normal. With this in mind as long as you have about five Deku nuts you can end these fights quickly. If you don't have Deku nuts the fight will take slightly longer since you'll have to wait for her to attack and make an opening for you to attack her. If she does her special attack jump to the side once or twice and you'll have dodged it and be in line to attack her. -----End battle section----- With the woman defeated she runs away and leaves a small key, now go let the carpenter out (NOTE: the carpenters will not just leave once you've opened the cell, you have to talk to them first unlike the Gorons in the Fire Temple). Now exit the room through the door opposite the side you came in through. You'll be back outside but inside a square indent of the fortress. There is a door to your left and the open area with patrols to your right (also a fairy fountain hidden near the crates across from you that requires the song of storms to access). Go to where the fountain is and you'll see a Gerudo pacing toward/away from you. When she starts walking away from you, run out and hug the wall to the left which leads into a door where the second carpenter is. When you go talk to him you'll be attacked by another Gerudo with two swords use the same tactics as before and when she's defeated, you'll get another small key. Open the cell and talk to the annoying carpenter. After he runs off like a fairy exit the room through the opposite direction you came in. You'll find yourself outside again. You'll be over looking that square indent and there'll be a climbable vine wall to your front left. Climb the wall and you'll see two doors, one directly in front of you and one to the left of that one. Go strait first and you'll find your self inside the fortress where there's the third carpenter. Talk to him and fight the guard. When you get the key release the girly carpenter and watch him run off in a direction that should immediately get him caught again (fortunately he doesn't cause if he got re-caught I'd leave him). Now go back out THE WAY YOU CAME IN. Once outside the door that was on your left will be to your immediate right. Walk in and you'll be on top of a ramp leading down into a room with a cooking pot against the right wall. In front of you there's a small ledge sticking out from the wall and past that is the ramp leading out of the room in the direction you need to go. You'll see below there's two guards pacing back and forth and one that occasionally walks into the room from the adjacent hallway. Make sure the guard in the hallway is walking away from the cooking pot and the guard nearest you is walking toward the pot as the far guard is walking away from the pot and you'll be able to jump down and run diagonally to the ramp on the opposite end. Once at the top go out and you'll see that to your right there's a door that's in a square indent in the fortress, one you jump down there you won't be able to get back up without going back through the annoying cooking pot room. You'll also hear a [GS044] if it's dark out who's up against the wall to your back right. Without the hookshot you'll have to climb the ledge to you're left and follow the path around to where you'll jump over the two adjacent doors below leading to the third carpenter and the cooking pot room. Jump across the gap and when the path turns left you'll see another climbable wall. Climb the wall and follow the top to where you'll see the Gold Skullita on the wall. The easiest way to kill it is by timing throwing bombs. Once it's dead you can jump from the ledge and draw your sword giving you enough range to get to the token. You'll now be standing in the indent with the door you entered the screen to your front left and the door inside the indent in front of you. If you missed the token, you can jump diagonal to your left and back to where you entered to try the jump again. Once you've gotten the token jump down in front of you where you'll see the last unexplored room to the left. Walk in and you'll be inside with a crate next to you. Don't run strait out because there's a guard pacing up and down that hallway. Once she walks past run behind her down the hall and to the left where you'll find the fourth carpenter. After talking to him you'll be attacked and you get to beat the Gerudo with two swords again. She'll drop the key to his door and thus allow you to free the carpenter. once freed the second in command Gerudo will drop down (wearing the same color outfit as your current tunic, if you change tunics her outfit will change to match). She'll give you the membership card which will allow you to roam freely through the fortress. Questions about that part: Q. In the room with the cooking pot why didn't you just jump across the ledge and stay above the pacing guards below? A. You can't jump to that small platform sticking out of the wall because of how far away it is. The only way to get to it is using the hover boots or the hookshot/longshot. _________________________________________________________________________ |=====Between Gerudo's fortress and the Biggoron's sword side quest=====| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ On the way out of Gerudo Valley jump into the river and take it into Lake Hylia, run up to where the lone scarecrow is on the bank near the fishing pond and play that song you made up. With your new song you can call the scarecrow to certain places where Navi reacts. Go to the Lakeside Laboratory and ride on the plant next to it to the fishing pond. Go in and catch that middle fish again to get the Gold Scale. Now exit again and go back to the Lakeside Laboratory. Go in, jump in the water, and dive till you touch the bottom, now talk to the man, and collect [PoH22]. Head back toward the Castle and pass between Gerudo Valley and Lon Lon ranch. As you go up the hill go to the first tree to your left and set a bomb next to it. A hole will open up and you'll see a tektite on top of the water. Kill it and dive into the water and get [PoH23] from the bottom of the pool. _______________________________________ |=====Biggoron's sword side quest=====| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ This is relatively simple other than the three timed items which are still no problem (you'll run through the lost woods for all of them). Head to Kakoriko (make sure it's day time) and talk to the cucco lady, she'll give you a pocket cucco egg. Put it on a C button and play the sun's song twice (thus hatching the egg). Now go into the house at the bottom of the large set of stairs and you'll see Talon a sleep. Use the cucco to wake him up and head back to the cucco lady. Use the cucco near her and she'll give you a blue cucco Cojiro. Before you leave run into the windmill and learn the Song of Storms. Now head to the lost woods, from the entrance go left and you'll see a young punk kid where the Stalchild used to be. Show him Cojiro and he'll give you a forest mushroom which will spoil in three minutes. Now run out the way you didn't enter this screen and you'll see that the bean plant is now a platform that'll move you past that bridge that links Kokiri village and Hyrule field. Run into Hyrule field and hug the right wall as you run out into the field, you'll see a small body of water coming from Zora's river. Go to the right side of the river and run in the shallows of the river to Kakoriko village (make sure it's daytime when you enter). Now run up the stairs to your front and you'll see two shops, the right shop sells potions so run through there and to the left side of the shop keeper. That path will put you back out in the village but behind his shop, now run across to the old hag's potion shop. She'll take the mushroom on the second try (never worked for me on the first try) and give you an odd potion (from this point on you can buy blue potions from her for 100 rupees). Now take the odd potion back to the Lost Woods where you'll see a Kokiri there in place of the guy from before. She'll trade the odd potion for the poacher's saw. Remember doing Gerudo valley...well since there's a bridge there now, you can get there by foot. Talk to the carpenter outside the tent and he'll give you a broken biggoron's sword. Now head to the top of death mountain. The quickest way is to go to the lost woods and from there to Goron City. In Goron City you'll notice there's only one Goron there and he's rolling around. Bomb him and he'll unlock Durana's room and give you the Goron's Tunic. Now run into Durana's room, pull the statue away from the wall, and take the entrance into death mountain. From inside death mountain go to the right and you'll see a red rock on the edge of the cliff. Jump over the edge of the cliff and you'll see another cliff below you which you'll land on. There's a ladder to your left that'll lead you up to where you'll see that wall you climbed down as a kid and the exit to death mountain to the right (next time you make this trip you'll be timed so practice/remember it well.) To your left you'll see Biggoron, show him the broken sword and he'll give you a prescription for his eye drops. Unfortunately, that way in from Goron's city is one way because of that jump. So head down death mountain avoiding the flaming rocks as you run. You'll need 300 rupees to buy a blue fire for King Zora so on they way down the mountain swing by the entrance to Goron city. Stand in the middle of the circle of rocks and play the song of storms and a hole will open. inside you'll find a fish (bottle it) and a treasure chest with 200 rupees in it. Now head to Kakoriko. Before going into the potion shop go to the beggar next to the item shop and sell him your fish for 100 rupees. Now run into the potion shop and buy a blue fire. Now head to Zora's River. Ride your plant platform most of the way up the river and walk on foot to Zora's domain. The whole place is frozen but the trip back will be more simple than you think. Go up to King Zora and stand next to him and use the blue fire. Once he's unfrozen he'll give you the Zora's tunic and when you show him the prescription he'll give you an eyeball frog (you have three minutes to get to Lake Hylia). Immediately play the Sun's song and you'll be back at the entrance to Zora's domain. Exit to Zora's river and go to the left through the portal to the lost woods. Once there go strait then left then right then strait and left and you'll be at your plant from before that can get you out of the forest quickly (jump off onto the bridge). Now keep rolling toward Lake Hylia and you should make it with about 40 seconds left. After showing the frog to the guy there, he'll give you the eye drops...now you have four minutes to get to the top of Death Mountain. Go back to the lost woods and into Goron City, from there take the same route you went through before and you'll come out on top of death mountain in a little over three minutes. Give the eye drops to Biggoron and he'll give you the claim check for the broken sword. In three days he'll exchange the claim check for the Biggoron's sword. __________________________________ |=====Before the Fire Temple=====| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ You can't get into the Fire Temple without the hookshot so head back to Kakoriko and into the graveyard in the back. Ride your magic bean pant up and break the crate where you'll see [PoH24]. Now pull the corner grave closest to your bean plant out and drop into the hole. You see the ghost of Dampe in front of you wanting to race you. The race is relatively simple since you only have to follow him (there really are no shortcuts there but there are however redeads.) When you get to the end with him he'll give you the hookshot. You'll exit into the top of the windmill (after using the song of time to move the blue block). Now go back into the grave and beat him again but this time in one minute or less. It's a little harder just roll on strait-away’s, dodge his fire particularly during turns where you can be blindsided (listen for the sound of when he throws fire as you get to the corners to know if it's safe to roll or not). When you get to the last circular room, keep rolling and you should have no problem. Just because you get hit by fire doesn't mean it's over, I've been hit by fire twice and still got there in under a minute. When you get into the room where he gave you the hookshot, if you did it in one minute or less you'll be rewarded with [PoH25]. Now leave and make it night time and go to the cucco lady's house. Stand on the crate next to her door and shoot the roof of the House of Skullita. From that roof turn back around and hookshot the cucco lady's roof, against the wall of the town you'll see [GS045]. Head to Goron city (still night time) and walk out onto the platform being held up by ropes. On the back side of the platform, you'll see [GS046]. Now go into Death mountain (via the entrance behind the statue in Durana's room) and enter the Fire Temple. ___________________________ |=====the Fire Temple=====| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ The only time the bow is needed is to get the map, in the room with the maze and rolling boulders go through the bottom locked door and you'll see a silver eye on the wall to unlock the room the map is in. Instead go through and into the next room where the wall of fire comes up behind you and chases you. Once to the high side the door will be to your front right with a cage to the right. Pass the door and walk to the cage and you'll see that you can climb over the side of the cage where you'll drop onto the map. The most frequently missed Skullita is near there as well. walk out onto the second level of that room with the maze of rolling boulders and play the scarecrow's song. Hookshot the scarecrow then turn around and hookshot the target leading up to a hidden room. Assuming you get all of the Gold Skullitas in the temple you'll have 52 by the time you leave. _________________________________ |=====After the Fire Temple=====| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Now that you've beat the fire temple make your way back out of the crater, hookshot across the broken bridge and you'll see two red rocks in the way of a cave. Break the rocks and go through to get the magic upgrade. Continue out of death mountain through the top of the mountain so you end up next to Biggoron. Go down to the path leading up the mountain where the volcano previously erupted and smash the red rock up against the left wall. Make it night time and you'll see [GS052]. Now continue down to where you picked the bomb flower as a kid to open up Dodongo's cavern and break the red rock exposing [GS053]. Now go back into Dodongo's cavern and to the right where the baby Dodongo's came out of the ground. Play the scarecrow's song and you'll be able to hookshot into an indent in the wall with [GS054]. Head back out into the main room and take the raising platform to the second level and follow your original path backwards to the room where you set off a chain reaction of bomb flowers to lower the staircase. One side of the staircase has vines on it so you can climb up it and collect [GS055] Leave the level and go back into Goron City. Take the path to the lost woods. Take the first let and you'll see Mido blocking the path. Play Saria's song and he'll move letting you continue, take the first left and you'll be on the screen with the forest stage. Stand on the bean plant and it'll raise you up to the ledge where [GS056] is sitting. Head to the sacred forest meadow and as you come up to the beginning of the maze play the scarecrow's song. Hookshot the scarecrow and you'll be on top of the annoying maze you were going to have to go through. On the right wall you'll see [GS057]. Continue past the club swinging enemy and into the forest temple. _____________________________ |=====The Forest Temple=====| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ All of the Skullita's in this level are pretty easy to find and there are five of them. I'd say the hardest part would be the stalfos but with Deku nuts it's a piece of cake, basically they have two attacks, a normal swing and a jump attack. You can stun them in the middle of either. If you don't have Deku nuts when they slash normally jump to your right. For their jump attack lunge and stab. And for the poes shoot them with the hookshot and pull them in, then as they run shoot them with the bow and repeat when they appear again. ___________________________________ |=====After the Forest Temple=====| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ You now have 62 Gold Skullitas and you'll reappear at the Great Deku tree. Make sure it's night time and walk out into the town, turn left as you walk out and you'll find [GS063] on top of the house with two pillars on top. Now head out and to Gerudo valley. Make sure it's still night time and head up to the horse back archery range and go to the far target and you'll see [GS064] on the target. Make it day time and do the horseback archery and collect [PoH26] and the first quiver upgrade. Some tricks for the horse back archery are really simple, on the way down shoot each of the 8 pots, after hitting the eighth pot start shooting the big target at the end as you loop around it, on the way pack put one in each of the three bull's -eyes and unload the rest of your arrows into the last target. Now head back to the fortress and go into the dreaded cooking pot room. Take the top exit and you'll see where the Skullita was on the wall. Call the scarecrow to the top and run around to where you jumped from to get the token the first time through. Inch as close to the edge as possible and line up with Pierre so you can get the most range out of the shot. You won't see the dot on him but you can barely hook him. On that platform you'll find a treasure chest with [PoH27] inside. Now exit the fortress and go behind the carpenter’s tent at night time and on the wall you'll find [GS065]. Go to the stone pillar across from the tent's entrance and you'll find [GS066]. Now head out of Gerudo Valley and to Lon Lon Ranch (ride Eponia in). Talk to Malon and she'll let you run an obstacle course with Eponia to win a cow for your house. The course is rather simple you don't need a carrot to jump the smallest fences. So as long as you hug the wall and only use your carrots before the large jumps you'll be ok. Remember to use carrots every 6 seconds if you need to replenish them if not use them as they come back. The best time I've ever made on it was 47 seconds but you're aiming for 50 or less. _________________________________ |=====A Hunting We Will Poe=====| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Yeah I know the pun was bad but here's the section on finding the 10 big poes. Keep in mind you can steer them away from walls by moving toward the direction you want them to go away from and they'll go away from you (and in turn away from the wall). I'm a fan of getting them in order from hardest to easiest so: 01.) Head to Gerudo valley area. There's a tree near a steep hill, ride past the tree (bumping into the right side) and up the hill. Once you're at the top use your remaining carrots and start shooting the poe. 02.) Turn around and ride across the path in front of Gerudo valley where the path splits. if you ride strait toward the poe he won't sway left or right into the wall, if that doesn't work out too well go across the same place in the opposite direction. 03.) Go to the land bridge near Kakoriko village. Back in with Eponia and a poe will appear in front of you. Take off after him and shoot him down before you get to the fence. 04.) Go to the stream North of Hyrule castle. Back Eponia into the corner furthest from the castle. If the poe appears take off after it, if not ride forward hitting the bushes and it'll appear. 05.) Ride between the tree by the entrance to Lon Lon Ranch and the ranch its self and a poe will appear (Steer it to the right so you don't hit the stone wall and be ready to jump the fence unless you can shoot it first) 06.) Pass the corner of the stone wall (usually toward the castle) and a poe will appear. 07.) Pass the lone silver rock near the stone wall and a poe will appear. 08.) Ride toward Lake Hylia through the wooded area adjacent to Kokiri Forest and as you pass one of the center trees a poe will appear. 09.) On the out side of that wooded area ride through the middle of the patch of bushes and a poe will appear. 10.) Ride past the sign directly in front of Hyrule castle and a poe will appear. I've caught all 10 and only used 20 arrows before which is one reason behind not getting the biggest quiver first. After exchanging the poes for points on you card you'll get the fourth bottle (and if you don't spend any money you'll have 500 rupees). _________________________________ |=====Before the Ice cavern=====| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Now head to Kakoriko and play the shooting gallery to get the biggest quiver (and to refill the arrows used in poe hunting). Swing by the house of Skullita and get your last reward [PoH28]. Now head to Zora's river. Ride your bean plant to where the ladder is near the gossip stone on it's own platform. Make sure it's night time and on the wall closest to Hyrule field you'll see [GS067]. Make your way up stream to the entrance to Zora's domain. As it starts snowing look up and to your left and you'll see [GS068] (you'll have to line up with it and stand on the fence to hookshot it.) Make sure it's night time when you go into Zora's domain and go to the edge of the waterfall where you'll see [GS069] to your left on the wall. Head into where Jabu Jabu used to be and you'll see [PoH29] on a piece of floating ice. __________________________ |=====The Ice Cavern=====| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ The Ice Cavern is pretty simple there is one piece of heart and 3 Gold Skullitas. ________________________________ |=====After the Ice Cavern=====| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ On your way out of the Ice Cavern equip the iron boots and sink to the bottom of the pool Lord Jabu Jabu used to be in and you'll find [PoH31]. Now make your way to Lake Hylia. Once you're there ride your plant to the top of Lakeside Laboratory and climb the ladder to collect [PoH32]. Now ride the plant again to the Finishing Pond. Once there catch the middle fish (19-21 pound fish) and collect the gold scale. Now head back to the Lakeside Laboratory and enter. Put on the iron boots and sink to the bottom of the water there where you'll find a crate with [GS073] inside. Now enter the water temple. ________________________ |=====Water Temple=====| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ As difficult as the Water Temple is known for being there are only 5 Gold Skullitas. Four of which require the longshot. The most missed ones are the one on the right wall two rooms away from Shadow Link, In the room with the waterfall and the moving platforms you have to hookshot up one by one. And after getting the longshot use the iron boots to stop in the straightaway between the whirlpools in the underground river. !!!!!After getting the longshot is your first available time to get the !!!!!fire arrows. You don't have to complete the level just shoot the sun !!!!!as usual (you can see it through the clouds). walk down the ledge and !!!!!call the scarecrow to the platform where the arrow landed. Now !!!!!longshot him. __________________________________ |=====After the Water Temple=====| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Now you're back on top of the center Island in Lake Hylia, when the scene ends run to the pedestal next to the tree and shoot an arrow at the sun and the fire arrows will drop. After collecting them go back to the tree and longshot so you're standing on top of the one branch of the tree, now make it night time and collect [GS079]. Make your way out and to Kakoriko Village, when you get there you'll learn possible the most useful song ever. Now head back toward Hyrule Castle, before going into the temple of time go to where Hyrule Castle used to be and you'll see Ganon's tower. Run to where the remains of the gate are laying down and on the back side you'll see [GS080]. Now head to the Temple of time and become a kid again. While you're at the Castle head in and get Din's fire (if you didn't before), after collecting the magic take the path you followed to meet Zelda the first time. When you come out of the water on the far side of the walkway you'll see a lone tree by the fence. Play the Song of Storms and a hole will appear with [GS081] inside. Now warp to Kakoriko and head into the windmill. Teach the guy the Song of storms so he can teach it to you in the future and the well will drain. Now head into the bottom of the well. __________________________________ |=====The Bottom of The well=====| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ My least favorite place in the whole game, fortunately there are only 3 Gold Skullitas here and none of them are hard to find. ________________________________________ |=====After the Bottom of the Well=====| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Head to Zora's River back to the frogs you played music for. Play the Song of Time and after playing the Song of Storms they'll give you [PoH33]. Now talk to them again and they'll ask you to play an ocarina game where they eat the flies above their head, after winning you'll receive [PoH34]. Now warp to the temple of time (if you didn't get the Piece of Heart from the Treasure Chest game make it night time and do so now) and become an adult again. Now head to Gerudo valley. Where you can now get the ice arrows. __________________________________ |=====Gerudo Training Ground=====| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ !!!!!First and foremost it is NOT possible to miss the ice arrows there !!!!!are 8 locked doors and 8 keys. At worst you'll have to return with !!!!!the silver gauntlets Go to the right door first, there'll be two lizfos and a beamos in the room and you'll be timed to beat the three of them. I usually just maul the lizfos (if they're attacking and they get hit they stop what they were doing). After beating them you'll get a key (that's one). Now go to the next room and there'll be a huge pit of lava with a few pillars in the lava. Jump to the front most pillar which is slightly to your left and play the song of time making two blue blocks appear. Now go to your left to the switch and step on it (it makes that circle of fire go away). Now jump across the pillars back to the one you were on when you made the blocks and you can jump to the lowest one. Climb up and collect the key (that's two). Now jump to your right where the pillar of fire was and collect the rupee, hookshot the torch on the door opposite the way you came in and continue collecting the rupees (that was the hard one). The side door with the torch next to it should be your next door. Go in and you'll see four blue blocks there. Play the Song of time opening the hole and jump into the water. Use the iron boots to sink to the bottom and start collecting the rupees (if you don't have the longshot you'll have to get good at putting on and taking off the iron boots). After collecting the rupees you'll get another key (that's three). Go back to the room with the lava and to the door to your right. Inside you'll find a chest surrounded by fire along with some fire bats and lava slug enemies. Kill the enemies and start hitting the pillars against the wall with the megaton hammer, one will open a switch to stop the circle of fire, another will expose an eye you can shoot on the wall to make another treasure chest drop (the one with your fourth key in it). Now exit through the door you haven't been through and you'll be in a round room where you have to blind the eyes of the statue. It's pretty simple stand on the round platform and it starts moving around the room. Aim at the center and shoot the eyes as they come in range and a treasure chest will drop and a door will unlock. The door that unlocked wasn't the one you came in through it was the one on the catwalk above you. Get the key from the chest (that's five) and head back out the way you came in. Go back to the first room and go onto the left door (opposite the side you went through the first time). you'll be in a room with sand and rocks and you'll have 1 minute to kill 2 stalfos and get the key from the chest they drop (that's five). !!!!!only 6 keys are required to get to the ice arrows so if you have five !!!!!now skip to the next paragraph After killing them you'll be in a room where you'll immediately see a timer. As expected you'll be collecting silver rupees. the only thing to keep in mind is that the middle section has a wall master that will fall on you if stand still too long. Keep in mind there are targets on the ceiling for you to hookshot to. After collecting the rupees head into the next room, inside you'll see on the wall across from you a silver gauntlet block and a door to the front left. As you walk in you'll be attacked by four wolfos. After killing them use the lens of truth and you'll see a hole in the wall above the fake door. You can longshot to the target then step on the switch to unlock the door you came in through. Walk through the door in front of you and you'll be on top of the circular catwalk above the room with the statue whose eyes you shot. Since you already blinded the eyes the door on the walkway with you is unlocked, run in and collect the key from the chest (that's six). Now head back to the room with the wolfos and push the silver gauntlet block (if you have the silver gauntlets) enter the room and you'll see three likelikes in three holes keeping them from getting you. Don’t moves just shoot them with arrows or sword spin. Once they've been killed use the lens of truth and you'll see a treasure chest in each hole. The back right hole has a key in side (that's seven). Now head back to the first room and go through the center door there'll be a locked door to your left and right. Unlock the door to your left and once you enter go to your immediate left and climb the fence wall into a hidden room with another key (that's either six or eight). Continue through the maze in the direction you were heading and you'll get to the center where you'll get the ice arrows. The only good thing about the ice arrows is that they kill likelike's in one hit. Remember to loot the place on the way out, there's a few places where you can get bombchu's. ________________________________ |=====To the Spirit Temple=====| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Once there start into the haunted wasteland, it's easiest to go through the wasteland in the day time so I suggest making it daytime before getting too far if it isn't already. When you get to the center oasis climb to the bottom and on the wall you'll see [GS085]. Climb back out and use the lens of truth to follow the ghost to Desert Colossus. When you enter you'll see two trees next to a cracked wall to your front right, run over there (while avoiding the leavers) and bomb the wall, inside you'll get Naru's Love. Now head to the giant statue in the wall and enter the temple. Once inside walk back out and you'll learn the song to warp there. Now warp to the temple of time and become a kid again. Bottle a bug (the closest one is by the tree in front of the gate at Hyrule castle). Now play the Bolero of fire and you'll see next to the warp point a mound of soil, use and rebottle a bug to collect [GS086], now plant the bean and warp to Desert Colossus. To the left of the Spirit temple entrance you'll find the last mound of soil. Use your bug to collect [GS087] and plan your last bean. Now head into the temple. ________________________________________ |=====The Spirit Temple (as a kid)=====| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ There are five Gold Skullitas in the temple three of which can be collected as a kid or as an adult (since you can backtrack as an adult). The remaining two must be collected as an adult. ______________________________________________ |=====After the Spirit Temple (as a kid)=====| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Now warp back to the Temple of time and become an adult again. You'll notice you have the silver gauntlets equipped so head to Lord Jabu Jabu's area to where you got Farore's Wind (be sure it's night time). There's a silver rock that couldn't be bombed before lift it with the gauntlets and drop into the hole, after killing a series of invisible skullitas you'll find a ladder, climb to the top and kill one more skullita and on the wall to your left you'll see [GS091]. Now play the Bolero of Fire and you'll see that the bean you had planted is now a platform that will take you up around one of the smoking rocks with [PoH35] on top. Now play the Requiem of Spirit and warp to the Spirit Temple. On the opposite side of the Temple entrance from where you're standing you'll see a crater with a rock outside of the ground next to it. Stand on the rock and play the song of storms to make a fairy fountain. On the back side of one of the palm trees (at night time) you'll see [GS092]. Now head back to where you planted the magic beans as a kid and ride on the bean plant (be sure it's night time) as you pass one of the rocks you'll see [GS093] on top of it. After collecting the skullita head back to that bean platform and ride it one last time until it goes under the 'upside-down 'U' shaped platform". On top you'll find [PoH36]. Congratulations you've collected all of the pieces of heart in the game. Now enter the Spirit Temple again. _______________________________________ |=====Spirit Temple (as an adult)=====| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ There are two Gold Skullitas left assuming you got the three from the trip through as a kid. The hardest one to get is on the right side of the huge statue. To get the scarecrow to appear on the ledge by the statue's right hand walk up the right bicep and play the song. _____________________________ |=====The Shadow Temple=====| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ After completing the Spirit temple you can warp strait to the Shadow Temple, inside this temple there are a total of five Gold Skullitas (imagine that, you walk in with 95 and there are 5 more inside the level). The most frequently missed one is on the screen with the ship, you can call the scarecrow to the platform above where the block you dragged across the room started, and longshot the scarecrow. _______________________ |=====What's left=====| ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Well so far the only things you don't have is the cow in your house, the gold gauntlets, the heart lining, and the light arrows. With all 100 Gold Skullitas you now have infinite rupees since the father of the skullita family will give you 200 rupees every time you talk to him for the first time in that screen (i.e. talk to him then leave and re-enter and talk to him again). So head to the Temple of Time and you'll get the light arrows (look I explained it without spoiling anything) now head across the new bridge into Ganon's castle. Make the first barrier you go through the shadow barrier, after that the order doesn't matter (actually you can go in any order but the shadow must be done before the fire or light barriers can be completed). Once you walk in you'll see a green bubble in front of you (easy to kill) and a likelike on the platform ahead (sneaky huh) now remember those ice arrows you fought long and hard to get shoot the likelike with one and it'll die in one hit. Now shoot the torch to your right with a rife arrow and run like there's no tomorrow. Once on the second platform you'll see a switch on a platform close to the bottom of the screen. Use the lens of truth and you'll see a path that crosses by it where you can jump from. Once you hit the switch a treasure chest will drop which you can hookshot to and get the gold gauntlets. Now finish the shadow barrier and leave the castle. Once you cross the bridge new bridge run to your left where you see a huge pillar like block...toss it aside and go in where you'll find a fairy fountain and you'll receive the white lining around your hearts making all damage to you reduced by half. Congratulations you now have everything...a 100% perfect file. ___________________________________________________________________________ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ For the record I did about 98% of this from memory, the only things I had to actually play the game for was to remember which rooms came next in Gerudo's Fortress...yeah I play too much OoT.
