TOWER OF GODS (CONTINUED)

After defeating Gohdan, go outside and there will be a big bell. Use the Grappling Hook on the bell, then swing across from side to side to ring the bell. After the cinematic, you will be down to the old Hyrule Castle.

Hyrule Castle
Go out of your boat and enter through the door in front of you. This will take you inside Hyrule Castle.

1F Room 1

Wow, everything is frozen in time. Okay, first thing, continue through the foyer until you come to a light colored floor. Use the triangle shaped blocks to push all three on to the Triforce marked on the floor. Once done, the statue will move showing a hidden staircase leading to the basement.

BF Room 1

Head down the stairs, then down the bridge in the middle. Pick up the Master Sword. Now get ready for one hefty battle. Return to Room 1. All the monsters in the room come to life. After defeating all of the monsters in this room, the lasers will be deacitvated allowing you to leave the castle. Head up the stairs and out the back entrance. Enter the boat, then sail through the shimmering light.

Great Sea
You'll now be headed back to the Forsaken Fortress to once again make another daring attempt to rescue Link's sister. On the way there, in D3 (N Triangle Island) is a giant cyclone go in it and hit Cyclos 3 times to get Ballad of Gales. It allows you to go to certain islands in seconds to speed up travel drastically. After that, sail to the Forsaken Fortress.

Forsaken Fortress: THE RETURN
Once there, avoid the cannons being fired at you, then look for a wooden door. Use the cannon to blow up the wooden door, then enter inside. This time you can head through the Forsaken Fortress without having to worry about searchlights or guards as you are well prepared for them this time.

Courtyard

Head towards the wooden door and Ganon's shadow, Phantom Ganon, will appear.

Mini-Boss: Ganon's Shadow, Phantom Ganon
What really bothers me about this fight is the fact that Ganon's Shadow will try and teleport behind you to attack. Trying to be slick........Wait until he summons a large orb, and wait until he throws it at you. Just before the orb hits, slash it with your sword to hit it back to him. Think of this as the deadly arts of Ping-Pong. The orb will move faster as it bounces back and forth. After it hits Ganon's Shadow it will fall to the ground. Start hitting it with your sword before it disappears. Repeat the steps above until the Phantom is defeated. Open the treasure chest to recieve the Skull Hammer, then continue into the door that is now unlocked. After defeating him, Bokoblins attack. Defeat them and use your hammer to destroy the spikes by the stairs and go up. The stairs lead to a ladder to a searchlight. Defeat the Bokoblin and the light goes off.

Light #2

Go down the ladder and go into 2F Room 2. Go through the west door and go on to the southern balcony and climb the ladder there to reach the second light. Defeat the Bokoblin to turn off the second light.

Light #3

Run off the tower’s NW ledge and you land next to the ledge between 2F Room 2 and 3. Go in room 3 and defeat the shielded Bokoblin. After that, fly across using the deku leaf and destroy the spiked pegs. Go through the door and go on the SW balcony in the hallway. Go up the wide path climb the ladder to reach the third light. Defeat the Bokoblin.

To the Sister!!

Set the wind NW and jump off the western corner of the final searchlight’s platform. Use the deku leaf to fly over between the NW and N towers. Go to 2F Room 4. (The room with the Moblin laser) Remember the Moblins you had to hide from? Not anymore! Attack them and go through the big door and start to climb the tower. Continue up the stairs, down the path to the left, up the hill, hit the obstacles blocking the way with your hammer, then use the Deku Leaf to glide (or just slide) across. Make sure the wind is going the proper direction or you'll have troubles getting across. Once on the other side, continue up the stairs and hit the switch. Enter the next room to rescue Link's sister. After a cinematic, the Helmaroc King appears.

Pre-boss battle: Helmaroc King

You won't be able to fight the Helmaroc King down here as the water is rising too quickly to engage in a battle. Instead, make your way to the top of the tower using the side ramp. Watch out for the Bokoblins that pop out of the urns as they might distract you. If you happen to fall, use the Grappling Hook on the poles above to swing across pole to pole. Once you're at the top, hit the large bird on the beak with the hammer. It'll then fall into the water. Climb up on to the roof, and get prepared to fight the Halmaroc King again.

Check the boss guide to see how to defeat the ‘King.

Once you have managed to defeat it, continue up the path. Once at the top of the path, enter the door to find Ganondorf and a long cinematic. Soon after you'll arrive back at the Tower of the Gods.

Hyrule Castle

Once Miss Tetra wakes up, enter the Castle. Continue through the passage beneath the statue once again and continue to the next room. Also known as the King of Red Lions. After an interesting story, you'll be taken back to the Foyer. Exit out of the door closest to you. You now have 2 dungeons to complete and to assemble the 8 Triforce Shards.

Before the Temple

Now that you know who to protect, use the Ballad of Gales and warp to B2, Mother And Child Isles, and you will see a cinematic and as a result, you will get the Fire AND Ice arrows. They will be very useful for the rest of the game. Also, before you go to the Earth Temple, you need the power bracelets.

Power Bracelets

To get the power bracelets, warp out of M&C; Isles and warp to Dragon Roost Island, the closest island to Fire Mountain. Sail south and fire 1 ice arrow at the top of the volcano. From that, you have only 5 minutes o get up to the top, go down, and grab the Bracelets before the 5 minutes are up. After you fire the arrow, go on shore and run NE so you can go up and climb. It's too hard how to tell you how to get up, so you're on your own. After you are inside, you NEED at least 2:30 on the clock. If not, go ut and try again. Inside, use the boomerang to defeat the Fire Keeses. Leap across platforms and defeat the Magtails. Becareful because the platforms dissapear after a few seconds. After all the enemies are defeated, a chest holding the bracelets will appear. Open it to stop the clock and pick up the HUGE rock by you to open a path to the top. Go back to the Red Lions and warp to Outset Island and sail to Headstone Island.

Headstone Island

To access the Earth Temple, go to HeadStone Island (C7) and now that you have the Power Bracelets, you'll be able to lift up the big head shaped rock blocking the entrance to the inside of the island. Get inside the island and stand between the 2 torches in front of the big rock. You'll have to play the song written on the rock which is the Earth God's Lyric. Laruto's ghost (Ganondorf stole her soul to break the Master Sword's power) will appear and ask you to find her descendant, the sage of the Earth Temple, who possesses the same harp as her. Medli is the one. So warp to Dragon Roost Island.

Dragon Roost Island

You'll find Medli on top of the island, playing with her harp. (Enter the Rito post office and leave it by the upper door to end up outside at the top of the island. At your right look up and use the Grappling Hook to transport yourself to the other side. Climb up the ladder and on top you'll see Medli). Show her the Wind Waker and play the new song you just learned, the Earth God's Lyric. She'll replay it after you and will meet with her ancestor, Laruto. She will then awakened as the Earth Temple sage. Now, with Medli, head back to Headstone Island.

Headstone Island

Stand between the 2 torches again and play the Earth God's Lyric song. Medli will play it after you, opening the way to the Earth Temple.

THE EARTH TEMPLE

NOTE : If you save and quit the game in the middle of the temple, always remember in which room you left Medli. You'll start back at the entrance of the temple and Medli should be in the room you left her the last time, next to the last door you entered with her. To go over the big gap in the first room, without Medli, use the Deku Leaf to fly over it. Note Also that to enter a room with Medli, you have to carry her while opening the door.

1F Room 1

This Temple is a mix between the Spirit Temple and the Shadow Temple from Ocarina of Time. First, grab Medli with A and run off the ledge to jump in direction of the door on the other side. Medli will make you fly up there. Enter the room.

1F Room 2

Put down Medli, and defeat the Moblins and continue to the top of the stairs. Bring Medli to fly on top of the pillar in front of you. Stand on the switch and drop Medli. Now you'll have to play the Command Melody to take control of Medli. Tap A to make Medli fly to the other pillar. Stand on the switch with Medli and the door down there will open. Return to Link, pick up Medli, and enter the new room.

1F Room 3

The door seals shut behind you and you're trapped inside. There are many ChuChus in this room. Defeat them. You will soon notice you can't destroy the black Chuchus with your sword. To destroy them, stand in the center of the ray of light on the floor. As the black Chuchus will try to attack you but will turn into stone under the light. Use your Skull Hammer to finish them off. Take control of her and stand in the center of the light. Press A to use her harp to reflect the light. Aim the ray of light on the "invisible" chest to make it become visible to open it. Inside the chest you'll find the DUNGEON MAP. You can also aim for the 2 statues in the room and they'll melt. Also, bomb the top of the warp jar to have it opened. Grab Medli and enter the next room.

1F Room 4

In this room, you'll notice a big "sun" statue guy with a human face and two spots of light. Stand in the middle of the spot of light to your right and take control of Medli. Use her harp and aim the ray of light toward the blue fog, revealing a switch down there. Return to Link and use the path Medli is clearing with the light for you to go and hit the switch with the Skull Hammer. (The blue fog makes you unable to use items). This will open the door to your right. Go inside with Medli.

1F Room 5

Put her down, run south to open the crypts, and fight the bubbles. An arrow hit each will be good. Go at the SE corner of the room and climb up the ladder. Pull the block up there to reveal a light ray in the wall. Go back down and take control of Medli. Make her stand in the new found spot of light and use her harp to reflect the light on the "invisible" chest so it will become visible. Inside the chest is a SMALL KEY. Now watch out for the Floormasters as they can take Medli away. Slash at them with your sword. Leave this room and go in Room 4.

1F Room 4

We're in the room with the sun guy now. Use your key on the locked door to open it and enter.

1F Room 6

Defeat all the Chuchus inside except for the black ones. Load your Fire Arrows. Use your fire arrows to burn the flags on the walls. One will reveal a light ray. Stand in the middle of it (or take control of Medli and aim your harp.) and wait for the Chuchus to come by you and turn into stone statues. Grab these Chuchu statues and drop them on the 2 switches. Stairs will appear. Hurry up before the Chuchus return back to normal and climb up the stairs. Push the block down there to make permanant stairs. Open the door. With Medli, enter the next room.

1F Room 7

Put Medli down and defeat the Floormaster in the middle of the room. Push the first block against the wall to reveal a ray of light. Drop Medli in the center of the light and take control of her. Aim the ray of light, using her harp, on the statue standing on one of the blocks to break it up. Return to Link and push that block against the wall. A chest will appear. Retake control of Medli and once again, using her harp, aim the light on the little sun painted on the wall. The wall will disintegrate and reveal a block behind it. You can do the same thing on the other sun painted on the other wall to reveal a blue warp vase. Pull and push the new block against the wall to make a door open. Climb on this block to access the chest. Inside you'll find the COMPASS. Enter the next room with Medli. Before you do, the pot next to the door has fairies, so if you have a empty bottle, grab one!

1F Room 8

Defeat all the Moblins in the middle of this room and watch out for the Poes as they can take control of you. To destroy them, hit them until they slip out their lantern and let them control you. They'll then go away. Once they're all gone, stairs will appear. Upstairs, go inside the unlocked door.

1F Room 9

Go down there and the coffins will open when you approach them. Now it's time to slash some Redeads. After they spook you, slash at them! In one of the coffins you'll find a SMALL KEY. Grab it and climb up the ladder (it appears after defeating all 3 of the Redeads). Go back in the previous room.

1F Room 10

Open the locked door with your key and enter the room (Medli won't be joining you). Now it's mini-boss time. You'll face a big Stalfos, which are semi-easy to defeat. He'll try to hit you by spinning his bludgeon but use your shield to defend yourself. The only way to hurt this guy is to get his head off. Throw a bomb at him and his head will fall off. Now hit his head until he disappear. (If you don't hit his head fast enough, it'll go back on his body and you'll have to start over). But now 2 more Stalfos will come after you. Do the same thing you did with the first one until they're just a pile of old bones. Stairs will appear leading to a chest. Finally! The MIRROR SHIELD ! Use your new shield with R to reflect the light into the sun over the door. That will open the door so leave this room.

1F Room 9

We're back in Room 9. Go back to Room 4 or take my shortcut.

Shortcut:
Go downstairs and climb up the ladder in the room. Stand in the light and use the mirror shield to aim the light on the 3 statues at the other side of the room. They will break up revealing the way to a chest. Go open the chest for a JOY PENDANT. Now it's very hard to describe but you can skip that part anyway. Take control of Medli and fly where the light is. Use her harp and aim the light on the floor of the room. Return to Link and use his shield to reflect the light Medli is sending you on the sun painted on the wall next to the ladder. The wall will disintegrate revealing a passageway. Go in there. Do the same thing as before with the light, Medi's harp and Link's shield to break up the statue there and the wall to get some 80 hidden rupees. Leave the passageway by the door there.

1F Room 4

We're back in the room with the blue fog once again. But beofre you go on, you may want a JOY PENDANT.

Joy Pendant:
Return right now to Room 5where there's a left over locked door there, remember ? So go back in the room with the 2 skulls and Floormasters. Kill them all so they'll not be in your way. Grab Medli and drop her on the switch next to the locked door. The door will stay open so enter it with Link. Use the light and Link's mirror shield to reflect the light on the wall with the suns painted on it. The wall will disintegrate and you'll find a chest behind it containing a JOY PENDANT. Now return to room 4.

Take control of Medli and stand in one of the spot of light. Use her harp to reflect the light and aim for the eye of the big statue. Wait until the statue start shining and switch back to Link. Use the mirror shield to reflect the light and aim for the other eye of the statue. When the statue will be completely shinning, it will reveal a new path. Take Medli with you and enter the new room down there..... in the basement.

B1 Room 1

Go downstairs and cross the bridge. There are 2 Blue Bubbles. If they touch you, you can't use items. To defeat them, use the deku leaf and they'll become regular skulls and just slash them and they're defeated. Play the Earth God's Lyric in front of the big rock and Medli will play it after you revealing a new door. Enter the next room.

B1 Room 2

Leave Medli at the entrance. Defeat the two Redeads. Stand in the light in the center and use your shield to reflect the light on the mirrors you see in this room. Aim at them and they'll reflect the light you're sending them on the big statues which will break up revealing 2 doors. Forget about the block and carry Medli to go into the door on your right.

B1 Room 3

Again, leave Medli at the door. Cross the blue fog avoiding the 6 Floormasters and at the back you'll find a chest with a SMALL KEY inside. To get to the other side the safest, follow these directions:
1:Walk E past the the 1st (S) pilliar.
2:Turn E past the 1st pilliar pair and go between the 2nd pair.
3:Turn E past them and walk to the chest.
Once you get the key, the fog will disappear. Defeat ALL 6 of the Floormasters and a chest will appear. Inside is a TREASURE CHART. Get Medli, go back to the previous room and enter the left door in Room 2 of B1.

B1 Room 4(East Half)

Use arrows to kill the 2 Floormasters in the blue fog and cross to the other side. Push the statue there on the symbol on the floor. Pound the switch with the Skull Hammer to reveal light that will reflect on the mirror and into the room on the other side of the wire fencing. Go back in the previous room.

B1 Room 2

Throw Medli to put her on the ledge. (If you didn't do it already) Stand in the light and, using your shield, aim for the statue on the block. It will break up so now you can push the block against the wall. Climb up and open the locked door with your key. Enter the room.

B1 Room 4 (West)

You'll notice you are now in the room behind the wire fencing. Defeat the 2 Red Bubbles and the 3 Poes. Then, use the light the mirror we placed earlier is sending you to aim, with your shield, the statues around you. One of them, after breaking up, will reveal a new door. To get the door, position Link so he's facing the western statue and your sheild is drawn, control Medli, and go into light so you can bounce light onto Link's sheild to reveal the door, go back to Link, get Medli, and enter it.

B1 Room 5

This is a long Crypt. As usual, leave Medli at the enterance. Go run and roll straight ahead and kill the Redeads inside the coffins. At the end you will find a chest containing a RED RUPEE. Go to the other side (watch out for the Stalfos) and play the Earth God's Lyric in front of the big rock. Medli will play it after you revealing a new door. Enter it. Go downstairs with Medli.

B2 Room 1

If you go upstairs you can throw a bomb at the rock to access the warp vase. Now go downstairs. There is a door there so enter this room with Medli. Also, you can fall to the bottom for 3 Floormasters, Bubbles, and pots holding Fairies, 40 Rupees, and common items.

B2 Room 2

Since this is hard to explain here are basic rules for this room:
1.Push/pull every mirror until its on a Scorpion.
2. Reflect light at every sigil.
3. Beam every statue.
4. Beam every clear chest.
This room is hard as heck to explain... You can start by pushing two of the mirrors near the entrance on the symbol on the floor. Then, take control of Medli and fly on top of the big "monument" in the center of the room. Stand on the switch to reveal a ray of light that will reflect on one of the mirrors. Return back to Link and use that light to break up one of the statue revealing a mirror. Pull and push that mirror on the symbol on the floor. You can also use the light on the invisible chest to get a PURPLE RUPEE. Retake control of Medli and make stand on the pedestal. Use her harp and the light and aim it on a smaller pedestal with a yellow harp painted on. Return to Link and use the light Medli is sending you with your shield to reflect it on the wall with suns painted on it. Disintegrate the wall to reveal another mirror. Pull and push that mirror on the symbol on the floor. To the other side of the room, you can also make the other invisible chest become visible with the same strategy as above and get a JOY PENDANT. Break up the statue there with the light and your shield to reveal a mirror. Pull and Push that mirror on the symbol on the floor. Once again, use Medli and Link (same strategy as above) to disintegrate the wall there and reveal a mirror. Pull and push that mirror too on the symbol on the floor. Now the mirrors should be reflecting the light toward the big statue. Ok, finally... Take control of Medli and go on the pedestal near the big statue with the sun face. Use her harp to reflect the light into the statue's eye until it starts shining. Switch back to Link and stand on the other pedestal. Use the mirror shield to reflect the light into the statue's other eye. The statue will start shining and will reveal a new door. Go inside.

B2 Room 3

Mini-boss time. You already fought that Stalfos before so it shouldn't be a problem but watch out, there is 2 blue Bubbles skulls with him. Use ice arrows to destroy the annoying skulls and finish off the skeleton. The gate will open so go and open the chest. There is the BIG KEY inside for the boss door. Return to the previous room.

B2 Room 4

There is block you can push here to reveal another door. Enter it. Use the light and your shield to light up the coffins so they will open. Light them up one by one because there is a Stalfos in each one so before lighting the next one, kill the Stalfos and do that with the 3 coffins. If you're stuck with the 3 skeletons at the same time (like I was) well, may the wind blow with you. A chest will appear and you'll find a TREASURE CHART inside. Use the block to go back up.

TO JALHALLA!

Return to B2 Room 1. Climb back up using the vines and for Medli, well, take control of her and fly up there. To reach the boss door, use Medli to carry you up there or the Deku Leaf. Use the big key on the door and enter the big boss room. Go to my Boss Guide to see how to defeat Jalhalla.

Link, Medli and Laruto will play the Earth God's Lyric to give back some power to the Master Sword. Now you still have to go into the Wind Temple and awaken its sage if not already done to return all its power to the Master Sword.
