After you get the last Spiritual Stone, head to Hyrule Castle
to tell Zelda. When you get there, Gannondorf has come and Zelda has
been taken from the castle with Impa. She'll drop the Ocarina of Time
in the stream around the castle, so after the scene is over and you can
move, dive into the water to get it. Go to the Temple of Time and play
Zelda's Lullaby (I could be wrong you know.) in front of the altar to
open the door. Enter the next room and take the Master Sword. You'll be
warped ahead 7 years in time, and you'll meet Sheik and the Sage Rauru.
Sheik will teach you the Song of Time and tell you to go to Kakariko
Village. Once at the village, head to the graveyard and go up to the
Royal Tomb. Play Zelda's Lullaby to open up the tomb, then enter the
underground chamber. Go all the way through the tomb until you reach
the wall with the hieroglyphics in it. Read them to learn the Sun's
Song, which makes the sun rise/set at anytime. Exit the tomb and head
towards the spot where the bean hole used to be and pull on the
tombstone at the end of the line. Go underground and Dampe will race
you, so just follow him closely. When you get to the end, you'll get
the Hookshot! After that, enter the last room and play the Song of Time
to make the blue block disappear. Follow the path to get inside the
windmill, then exit it through the door. Now, go to the Lost Woods and
follow the path like before to reach the Sacred Forest Meadow. Make
your way through the maze while avoiding the Moblins and the club-
pounding enemy by the stairs. When you finally reach the meadow, Sheik
will teach you the Minuet of Forest, which warps you to that spot at
any time, from anywhere! Use the Hookshot on the branch above you to
reach the entrance of the Forest Temple. Now, this guide was provided
by Zauron (SLC77@cc.usu.edu), so if you have any questions on Forest
Temple, you should ask him for better answers! First thing to do, is in
the very first room, the entryway with the trees and the wolves, is
climb up the vines on the right wall and then jump from tree to tree to
get the small chest up on the left wall containing a small key. Now
enter the temple. Kill the giant Skulltula in this hallway (it only
takes 1 regular hit now with Adult Link's more powerful Master Sword)
and enter the Big Room. You'll see some ghosts making off with some
torch flames. Now go straightforward and enter the door up the stairs
on the other side. They'll be a blue flaming skull here. Z target it
and use your shield (R button) until it runs into your shield. That
will get rid of its blue flame. Then just take it out with your sword.
Go through the next room and you'll be in the Lower Stalfos room. It's
a large round room that contains two of the toughest enemies you've yet
faced, the skeletal Stalfos. Using a combination of Z targeting,
effective use of your shield, side jumps, and backflips, and some good
ol' slashes and jump slashes you should be able to take them out with a
bit of practice. Remember that you can't block their jump attack so if
they do one, backflip (back+A) to avoid it then counterstrike. One good
thing is that for the most part the one you aren't focused on leaves
you alone. Once these guys are toast, you'll be rewarded with a second
small key. Kill the pots in the room and one should contain a life-
giving faerie. Now return to the Big Room. Go to your right to a small
corridor with a blue block in it. Play the Song of Time to get rid of
the block and go through. This room, the West Plant Room, contains some
man-eating plants that are much tougher than previous ones. Make your
way to the vine-covered wall to your right. Kill whatever Skulltulas
you can reach with your Hookshot and climb up the right side of the
vines...you'll have to make you way up slowly and try to avoid the
Skulltula that is left. Remember that if it doesn't see you it can't
get you. If you have to when it comes at you push A to drop down and
then grab back on and try again. Once you make it into the alcove with
the doorway go in the door and kill the annoying blue flaming skull.
You'll be rewarded with the dungeon map. Go through the next door and
you'll find yourself on a balcony. Notice that the balcony next to you
has a gray circle icon above the doorway. Use your Hookshot and shoot
that gray icon thing to fly over to the other balcony. Step on the
switch in there then kills the Skulltula with your Hookshot and uses
the vines to climb down. Make your way to the well you saw get drained
and climb down it. Run down this corridor to the other side and open
the chest there to get your third small key. Now climb up the vines and
you'll be back in the West Plant Room. Go out the door you came in and
you'll find yourself back in the Big Room. Now go through the locked
door to your right. Kill the Skulltula and go through the door in the
small hallway. In the next room, which I refer to as the block puzzle
room, climb up the two ladders and then follow the yellow arrows on the
floor to walk around until you hit the back of the blue movable block.
Push it until it's even with the hallway going the other way, then back
up and go up the ladder you passed while pushing it. Up here go around
until you meet a second movable block. Push this one until it stops
moving, then go back, take a left, and fall off the ledge to fall back
down to where the first block was. When you bump into it push it as far
as it will go, then loop around to the other side of it and push it as
far as it will go again. It will fall down slightly and you'll get that
tone telling you solved a secret. Now climb up the block and then climb
up the wall next to it and you'll bump into the second block
again...push this one as far as it will go then climb it and the wall
behind it. Follow the passageway around to a ladder and climb up it,
then keep going and you'll see a locked door. Go through and you'll
find yourself in the West Twisted Hallway. Follow it until you reach
the West Twisted Room. Watch out for hands falling from the ceiling and
hop across the stones to another locked door. Go through it and you'll
be in the west stairway. Climb down the stairs and enter the Upper
Stalfos Room. You've got a tough battle here. Kill the first Stalfos
while avoid the pit and then two more will come after you. Unlike the
previous two, with these two if you kill one and take too long killing
the other, the first one will come back! Don't panic, keep your head,
and I hope you put some faeries in your bottles from the forest meadow
maze earlier! The reward for this tough battle is the awesome Bow. Now
take your new bow and go BACK (yes, back, not forward) to the stairway
you entered from. You should have seen a red ghost laughing at you
right? Well, as soon as you got close she disappeared. This time shoot
her with your arrow before you get close enough to make her disappear.
If you get her in all three pictures she'll fight you. She's just like
the composer brothers in the graveyard. Just keep blocking her attack
until she appears and then letter have it with a jump slash. When she's
dead you'll have recovered the first flame from the Poe Sisters and
you'll be rewarded with a small key. Now go back into the Upper Stalfos
Room and go out the other door. Here you'll face the blue Poe Sister.
Deal with her the same as the red one and get the compass as reward.
You need another key before you can go on, so go BACK again through the
Upper Stalfos Room, past the West Stairway, back through the West
Twisted Room and West Twisted Hallway and finally you'll find yourself
back at the end of the block puzzle room. Above the doorway to the West
Twisted Hallway is a gray eye. Shoot it with your arrow and the hallway
will straighten. Now go through the hallway to the Twisted Room and
you'll be at a different angle now. This time, drop to the floor and
open the gold chest to get the Boss key, then drop down the hole in the
floor. Kill the flaming blue skulls in this room and go out the door.
Now you're on the balcony of the West Plant Room. Walk along the
balcony and enter the door on your right to get to a room with a very
tough Living Hand monster. Remember to kill all it's parts quickly when
it splits or it will join back together. You'll get the second small
key you need. Go out the door, take a right and go through that door.
You're back in the block puzzle room. Make your way up to the door to
the West Twisted Hallway and shoot the gray eye again to turn it back
into a twisted hallway. Go through the Hallway, the Twisted Room, the
West Stairway, the Upper Stalfos Room, and finally the East Stairway
ending with a locked door. Go through this locked door and you're in
the East Twisted Room. Hang a right and you'll be in the East Twisted
Hallway (which is currently straight). Kill these Green Flaming Skulls
the same as the blue ones - Z Target and hold down R and walk into
them, then kill with sword. They're easier then the blue ones. Go
through the locked door at the end of the hallway and you'll be in a
rotating blocks room. Jump on one of the blocks and aim your arrow
toward the frozen eye that's on one wall. Wait until the torch in the
middle of the room is between you and they eye and then fire your
arrow. The arrow will fly through the torch's flame, light on fire,
then hit the eye, melt the ice, and activate the eye (cool, ain't it?).
Believe it or not since Adult Link doesn't get to use Deku Sticks
you'll have to light torches and stuff using this method instead. Kind
of tricky but cool nonetheless. Now the Hallway will be twisted so go
back through it. Fall down the hole in the bottom of the Twisted Room
and you'll be in the falling ceiling room. To your right is a small
hall and door that leads to the balcony of the East Plant Room. Don't
bother the only thing there is a small chest containing a heart.
Instead, wait until the ceiling falls and as it's rising again run to
the small yellow switch along the right wall. Stand on it and stay on
it until the ceiling falls and you won't get hurt. Then run to the
square just left of the small treasure chest when the ceiling rises
again. Get the treasure (some arrows) and wait for the ceiling to fall.
Then run through the door to the picture puzzle room. Shoot the picture
on the wall with an arrow to get the puzzle going. You then have to
push blocks around until they match the picture on the wall (look at
the top of the blocks and ignore the pictures on their sides). One of
the blocks is a nonsense block and is just there to confuse you. If you
don't make it in time the blocks will rotate to a new configuration and
you'll be given a bit more time. Keep trying, eventually it should give
you enough time to do it. Once you get the picture you'll have to fight
the green Poe Sister. Knock her around to get back the green flame and
then go through the door. Kill the Skulltula and go through the next
door and you're back in the Big Room. Jump over the fence and fight the
final Poe Sister. She'll split up into 4 ghosts. Watch carefully, after
they split it, one of them will do a quick 360 spin and the others
won't. The one that spins is the real one. Shoot her with an arrow
using Z targeting. Once she's dead the tile in the middle of the floor
will become an elevator. Ride it down to the Revolving Room. This one
took me a while to figure out. Stand at the right of one of the rig
rock platforms sticking out of the wall and push A to grab it, then
push. After a while of pushing the room will rotate. Go through any
opening and step on switches, get treasures, and kill monsters until
finally the room rotates around to the now opened hallway leading to
the Boss Room (remember to keep rotating it the same way by always
standing to the right of the block when pushing). Now go through the
Boss door and climb the stairs, then walk over the Triforce symbol and
then try to go back out. Your way will be blocked and you'll now be
facing Phantom Gannon. Phantom Gannon has two phases. In the first
phase, he rides into a picture and then two of him rides back. One of
them is fake. Stand in the middle of the room with and arrow ready to
fire and rotate around scanning the pictures. When one of the pictures
has Phantom start coming back out of the picture (a bunch of purple
light will appear) fire an arrow at him right away. If you hit him
he'll retreat and you can do it again. If you miss he'll zap you for a
big time hurt. After you've done this 3 times he'll lose the horse and
start flying around the room shooting bolts at you. You'll quickly
notice that you can block the bolts but you can't seem to hurt him at
all. If you're played A Link to the Past, remember the evil wizard
Aghanihm? Well, next time Phantom Gannon shoots a bolt at you hit it
with your sword to shoot it back at him. HOWEVER, watch out as he might
hit it back at you again! So be ready to hit it again if it comes
flying back to you. Sometimes you'll hit it back and forth like 10
times before it finally gets him. The more times it bounces back and
forth the more it hurt too. When it does hit him he'll fall to the
ground. Take this opportunity to give it to him with a jump slash from
your sword. Then he'll fly back up again. The more times the bolt
bounced before hitting him the longer he'll be on the ground. Keep
doing this until he dies. Sometimes when he's almost dead he'll fly
toward you with a super powerful spear stab. Try to dodge it if you
can, you can't block it. Also, remember to stay far away from him when
he's firing bolts because it will make it easier to hit them back at
him. Once he's dead you'll get a message from the real Gannondorf. Grab
your heart container and get out of the temple via the blue light.
After you exit the temple, you'll get the Forest Medallion from the
Forest Sage, Saria!
