Temple After you meet Saria again, head back to the Temple of Time. Once there, head to the area where the Master Sword was and Sheik will appear and teach you the Prelude of Light. He'll also tell you how to become a kid again! After he disappears again, since you don't need to be young right now, go up to Goron City. Stand on the level where the Goron is rolling around like a ball, and stand near the Bomb Flowers. When he comes closer, place a Bomb Flower in middle of the floor and it'll hopefully explode as he passes near it. When he stops and talks to you, he'll give you a Goron Tunic, which allows you to survive inside the Death Mountain Crater! Head down to the lowest level of the city and enter Darunia's room. He's not there right now, so try and pull on the statue in his room. Once the passage is revealed, follow the path to the crater. Once there, put on the tunic so you can last a while. Then, walk up to the broken bridge and use the Hookshot to cross to the other side. Then, Sheik will appear again and teach you the Bolero of Fire, which warps you into the crater at any time. After that, follow the path to a ladder, which leads down to the Fire Temple. From the start of the temple, go up the stairs and enter the left door. After Darunia finishes talking to you, make your way to the left side of the room and push the switch to free a Goron. Enter the cell to claim a key, then leave this room. This time, enter the door at the other side. Make your way across the lava to the right side of the room and enter the door. Free the Goron and get the key, then leave that room. Now, get to the far end of the room and enter the door there. Push the switch, free the Goron, and take the key. Then, leave the room and head over to the bridge. Cross the bridge and enter the door you haven't yet entered, and slide down the wooden plank there. Climb the fence to the right and once at the top, defeat the bats and drop onto the top of the platform below. Push the block off the edge so it covers up the flaming geyser on the ground. Then, jump on the block and you'll get a free ride up to the second floor. Ignore the imprisoned Goron for now and climb up the nearby ledge. Push the block over the edge, and then jump down to the ground and push the block along its path until it stops. Then, climb back up the ledge and jump on top of the block and climb the fence-like wall. Stand near the edge of the platform and shoot your Hookshot at the switch below, which extinguishes the flame at the bottom of the other wall. Quickly climb the other wall before the flames come back and enter the door up there. Avoid the boulders and make your way to the right, then into a small alcove where you can free a Goron and get a key. After that, get to the other end of the room and enter the door in another alcove and free another Goron and take another key. Then, hug the right wall until you reach a door, and enter it. Go across to the other end of the room and enter the other door, then walk across the wooden plank to the grill-like floor. Quickly run all the way to the other end of the room or else the curtain of fire behind you will hurt you badly. In the next room, jump onto the ledge where the Torch Slug is, and defeat it. Lay a bomb by the crack and jump to another ledge to avoid getting caught in an explosion. Drop into the hole it makes and free the Goron and get the key. Then, go back to where you were just moments before. Jump down to another ledge and push the switch, then make your way to the south end of the room. Go into the now opened cell and take the key and then drop down to the ground. Head to the other end of the room and enter the door to the left. Go across the platform and enter the next room and get onto the grill platforms. This time, instead of going to the end of the room, jump onto the ledge about halfway to the left and enter the door. Go down the hallway and go to the following room and make your way to the door in the room. Pass the cell containing the Goron right now, and enter the other half of the maze room. Head towards the switch and push it, then run towards the other door before the fire curtain comes again to block access to it. Place a bomb by the door because it'll come to life, then enter the real door after the bomb explodes. Defeat the Flare Dancer in the room by using the Hookshot on its core, then attacking it with the sword. After it dies, climb onto the platform in middle of the room to ride up to the fourth floor. In the next room, climb the wall, hit the switch below, and climb the other wall like you did earlier, and enter the door. Hit the switch nearby and run up the stairs to get the Megaton Hammer! Go back down the stairs and use the hammer on the platform to drop to the fourth floor again. Hit the rusty switch with the hammer to lower the stairs, then pick up a box and carry it down the steps. Drop it on top of the switch to keep the door open, then enter the door to the next room. In the next room, hammer down the platform to drop down another floor. Hit the rusty switch, open the door, and jump across the gap to reach the blue block. Play the Song of Time in front of the block to make it disappear from this spot, then hammer the switch. Drop into the pit, free the Goron, get the key, and climb the blue block to reach the other side again. Jump across to the remaining platform and hammer it a couple times and get ready to freefall down a couple stories! Once there, exit through the door that leads to the entrance of the temple and go down the stairs. Hammer the statue apart and enter the room, then defeat the enemies there and enter the following room. Enter the next door and defeat the Flare Dancer there, then enter the next door. Push the switch, free the Goron, and get the Boss Key! Now, leave the room and go back up the stairs and enter the left door. Cross the lava pit and open the Boss Door to reach Volvagia, the dragon boss! To defeat it, when it comes out of any of the holes in the platform, hammer its head and then attack with your sword. Repeat the process until it burns up in the air and dies. Take the Heart Container and enter the light. After you meet Darunia again as the Sage of Fire, he'll give you the Fire Medallion!
