Spirit Temple (Young and Adult Link!)

Get Sponsored
Once you return to the desert, it's time to enter the Spirit Temple and clear sections accessible only to a child! Enter the temple and run up he stairs and talk to the Gerudo there. She'll introduce herself as Nabooru and she'll ask you to find the Silver Gauntlets in the temple by crawling through the crawlspace. Defeat the bats and the Armos Knight by using bombs or a couple well-aimed Bombchus, and then enter the door to the left. Defeat the Stalfos Knight, then aim your Boomerang at the flying skull and hit it with your sword to defeat it. Then, throw your Boomerang so it swings around and hits the switch, which drops the grate so you can walk across, then enter the next room. In the next room, destroy ALL the pots leading to the other end of the room, and then walk towards the center of the room. Make a slight turn so that the floating enemy passes you, then run to the other side and go as far to the end of the left platform as possible. Then, shoot the switch with the Slingshot to incinerate the enemy in the fire, and then enter the door to the next room! In the next room, collect all five silver rupees to drop the grate in middle of the fence and walk across it to the other side. Use a Din's Fire or a Deku Stick to light the two unlit torches to make a chest appear. Open the chest to get a key, then enter the door by the two torches and go to the next room. Now, go right and crawl through the small space and go up the stairs. Use the key to open the door and enter the next room. There, defeat the Skulltulas crawling on the wall, and then climb up it to reach the second floor! Defeat the enemies in the room, and then use a Bombchu to destroy the boulder surrounded by light on the rocky wall to shine light on the sun switch to open the door to the next room. In the next room, push the Armos statue right off the ledge onto the switch below to open the door upstairs. Then, run up the stairs and light a Deku Stick by the torch. Jump down to the lowest section of this room and light the two unlit torches to make a chest appear. Take the Map, then climb the wall by the Armos statue you pushed before and run back up the stairs again. This time, enter the door to the next room and go up the stairs to reach the third floor! Collect the five silver rupees and destroy the Beamos statues to reach some of them to make a lit torch appear. Light a Deku Stick, then run around and light the unlit torches to make a chest appear. Take the key and go by the four gray blocks. Pull one out of the way, and then pull the one with the sun switch on top towards the light on the floor to open the door. In the next room, go up the stairs and enter the room with the Ironknuckle. Attack its side and get ready for a long, fierce fight! Defeat it by repeatedly attacking its back and side with your sword while avoiding his battle- axe. After he's defeated, go through the opened door and go outside. Take the Silver Gauntlets from the chest on the ledge and two witches will capture Nabooru! You can't free her now, but she'll be back later in the game! Now, go back to the Temple of Time and become Adult Link again, then warp back to the Spirit Temple. This time when you enter the Spirit Temple, go up the stairs and push the large silver block until it drops into a hole with the Silver Gauntlets and enter the next room. There, defeat the Beamos statue, then aim at the ceiling and use the Longshot or an arrow to hit the switch to open the two barred doors. Enter the left room and defeat the Wolfos, and then stand on the Triforce symbol and play Zelda's Lullaby to make a chest appear at the far end of the room. Use the Longshot to reach the chest and open it to get the Compass, then to exit the room, run across the sand below and climb the brick wall. Leave this room and enter the door furthest to your left and enter that room. Collect the five silver rupees to open the door to the next area. In the next area, defeat the Like-Like and open the chest that appears to get a key. Go back to the room with the Beamos statue and enter the middle room using the key you just got. Defeat the Like-Like and dodge the flying pots, then climb the wall at the other end of the room to reach the second floor! In the next room, defeat the hand enemy and its smaller counterparts then push the mirror with the reflection so it points at each of the sun switches on the wall. Keep aiming at the switches until you reveal the one that opens the door, and enter the next room. In the next room, defeat the Armos statue by the door by hitting its side or back, then run up the stairs. Put on your Hover Boots and face the big statue in the room. Use the boots to hover towards the right arm of the statue and land on its hand. On that hand is a Triforce symbol, so play Zelda's Lullaby there to make a chest appear on the other hand. Use the Longshot to reach the chest and get a key, and then drop down to the ground and head to the far end of the room where you entered this area. Look at the ceiling and use the Longshot to hit the target and get pulled back up to the platform and run up the stairs again. Enter the door there, and in that room, defeat the Beamos statue and run up the stairs to the next room. In this room, there are THREE floating enemies, like the one you saw as a child, but there's a much easier way to kill them this time! Use Fire Arrows on each one to defeat them, then enter the door to the next room! In the next room, stand in front of the locked door with your back to it. Then, aim your Longshot at an Armos Knight standing behind the switch nearby so that when it comes alive, it hits the switch! Enter the opened door and go up the stairs to the next area. There, go to the Ironknuckle and attack it by its side and get ready for a fight! (I widely suggest that you have the Biggoron's Sword with you before you fight him.) After you defeat Ironknuckle, enter the next room and you'll be on a ledge outside the temple with a chest. Open the chest to get the Mirror Shield, and then reenter the temple the way you exited it before! Now, backtrack down to the room with the Armos Knight and the switch and get to the far end of that room. Sand in the bright spot on the floor and aim your Mirror Shield so that it reflects the light onto the sun switch. After you open the door, enter the next room and take the key from the chest and leave the room. Enter the door to your right and then cross the next room. This time, enter the left door using a key and enter that room. In the next room, defeat the Beamos statues using bombs and then make your way to the very top of the moving wall. Once you get there, defeat the other two Beamos statues and go through the door and run up the stairs and enter the following door to reach the fourth floor! In the next room, stand on the Triforce symbol and play Zelda's Lullaby to open the door in front of you and enter that room. There, defeat the Torch Slugs using your sword and then pull out your Megaton Hammer and pound ALL the fake doors in the room. Then, go up to the eye switch on the wall and shoot it with an arrow to make an ice block appear above you. So, to reach it, use the Longshot on the ceiling target to get atop the blocks and hit the switch to make a chest appear on the ground. Open the chest to get the Boss Key, then leave the room! Now, go up the stairs and enter the next room and avoid the flying pots and go by the cell with a switch behind it and use the Spinning Sword Attack to hit it. Go through the door it opens and defeat the Lizalfos and floating skulls and then bomb the wall to the left of the mirror. Then, turn the mirror so it reflects right into the room you just bombed and hits the next mirror. Go to the second mirror and point the reflection so that it faces out of the bars and hits the big mirror panel on the wall. Get back to the room where you hit the switch and drop down to the floor and stand in the light spot on the floor. Reflect the light with your Mirror Shield so it hits the sun switch, which will lower the platform you were standing on to an area high above the second floor. Face the statue-like thing on the wall and while still standing in the light; reflect the light with your shield so it hits the carved face underneath the cobra head to open another door. Use the Longshot on the revealed door to get across the gap to it and enter that door to the next room. There, use the Boss Key to open the door to the Boss's room. Defeat the Ironknuckle in this room and then enter the door behind the throne to reach and fight the REAL boss! To defeat the bosses, Koume and Kotake, whenever they shoot their spells at you, reflect it with your Mirror Shield at the other sister. Repeat that process until they transform into Twinrova! This time, defeat them by using your Mirror Shield on three spells with the same powers. (e.g. three fire spells/ three ice spells) After you collected three spells of the same type, it'll shoot itself back at Twinrova and she'll drop to the floor. Run over and attack with your Master Sword or your Biggoron's Sword if you have it, Repeat that process a few more times to defeat it and be returned to the Chamber of Sages! There, the Spirit Sage, Nabooru, will give you the Spirit Medallion and tell you to go back to the Temple of Time. There, you'll meet Sheik again and he'll reveal that he's actually Zelda! After that, she'll give you the Light Arrows, which help you defeat certain things in Ganon's Castle. After that, Ganon will capture Zelda and bring her to his castle, so now it's on to Ganon's Castle! Get there by going through the ruins of the Market to the path where Hyrule Castle was.
