!) After you beat the Death Mountain Crater, head down to Zora's Domain. You'll see that the entire place turned into a frozen ice land, including King Zora! Go up and around the path near King Zora and go out to Zora's Fountain. Enter the nearby cave and you'll be in the Ice Cavern. From the start of the cavern, follow the path while avoiding the falling icicles and cutting apart icicles on the ground with your sword. In the first actual room, just go right through it and go through the path between the Red Ice blocks. In the next room, you're going to need to collect all five silver rupees to open another passageway. Then, follow the path that isn't blocked by Red Ice until you reach the next area. Defeat the ice enemies in the room and climb on top of the platforms and fill a few bottles with some Blue Fire! Then, go a little further on the ledges and use the Blue Fire to melt the ice around the chest so you can get the Map. Then, exit this room and go back to the previous area you were in with the silver rupees. This time, use another bottle of Blue Fire to melt the Red Ice at the door to the RIGHT, then follow that passage to the next room. Push the block around the room and collect each of the silver rupees to make the door open. Then, push the block to the ledge by the door, then climb the block and the ledge and enter the door. Before reaching the next area, use Blue Fire to melt the ice blocking access to the next room. Then, enter the room and defeat the Wolfos to get the Iron Boots! After you get the boots, Sheik will appear and teach you the Serenade of Water, which warps you to Lake Hylia at any time. Dive into the water hole while wearing the boots and follow the path to exit the room. Now, with a bottle of Blue Fire, leave the Ice Cavern and thaw out King Zora! He'll give you the Zora Tunic as a reward for saving him, which lets you breathe underwater when you use the Iron Boots. After that, go down to Lake Hylia and cross the bridges and you'll be on an island with the Triforce symbol on the floor. Drop down to the small pond in the lake since it's drained, and use the Iron Boots to stay in place on the floor. Use your Hookshot on the diamond-shaped switch above the gate to the Water Temple to open it up. After you enter the temple, reach the central area and go right, then use the Iron Boots to sink to the bottom floor. Follow the passageway until you meet Ruto again, then take off the boots and float up to the third floor. Play Zelda's Lullaby at the Triforce symbol to drain the water completely, then enter the nearby room. In the next room, defeat the spike enemies and open the chest to get the Map, then leave the room. Drop down the hole to the first floor and use Din's Fire to light the torches, which open the door. Defeat the clam enemies in the next room to get a key. Follow the path back to the central area, and get to the far end of the room and push the block there until it drops. Follow the path until you reach the room with the rapidly moving water and put on your Iron Boots when you're above the pipe. Use the Hookshot to hit the switch in the statue's mouth, then use it again to reach the target on the wall nearby. Take off the Iron Boots and float up above the clams into another room and get a key. Then, go back to the main area and then enter the tower in the center of the room. Use the Hookshot to reach a higher platform and play Zelda's Lullaby there to raise the water halfway. Then, use the Iron Boots to sink to the bottom of this room and follow the new passageway until you reach the switch. Hit the switch and defeat the various enemies to open the other gate in the ceiling. Float into the new opening and open the chest to get a key. Now, make your way back to the room where you changed the water level and enter the door above the water! In the main area, go left and use the Iron Boots to sink to the bottom, then follow the passage to where you met Ruto before. Then, float up to the second floor and bomb the cracked wall and get the key in the chest. Next, go back to the central area and float up to the second floor and go to the far end of the room and use your key to open the door. Walk by the water and wait for the spider enemy to jump down, then defeat it with your sword and stand on the water. Use your Hookshot or arrows to shoot the nearby switch to be risen up to the next floor. Enter the next room and play Zelda's Lullaby by the Triforce symbol to raise the water completely. Then, go left and enter the room and defeat the nearby bats in the room. After they're gone, drop down to the lowest platform and wait until it reaches its lowest point. Use the Hookshot to climb the platforms coming down the waterfall to reach the other side. Get through the room by hitting the switch and using the Hookshot to reach the platforms, then eventually you'll reach the last platform. Stand on the statue- like head and hit the switch to go up to the door. Enter the next room and run across the room to the other door. Turn around and walk towards the tree to fight Dark Link! Defeat Dark Link by using Z-Targeting and holding your shield in front of you. Then, when he finally attacks, right after he swings, attack with your sword. (It is recommended that you have the Biggoron's Sword because it'll finish him quicker!) Continue this process until he's defeated and enter the now open room. Open the chest to get the Longshot, then play the Song of Time behind the chest to make the block disappear. Drop into the hole and you'll be in an underground river. Drift down the river while avoiding the whirlpools and climb onto the ledge at the left wall near the end and shoot the eye switch with an arrow to open the nearby gate. Use the Longshot to reach the chest and get a key then follow the path out to the rapid water room. Use the Longshot to cross the pool and then follow the path back to the central area and get to the far side of the room. Use the Iron Boots to reach the lowest room on that side and follow that path to the room where you met Ruto and take off the boots to float upward. Once at the top, play Zelda's Lullaby to drain the water, and fall down the hole and make your way to the main area again. Enter the middle tower and reach the upper ledge with the Longshot and play the lullaby again to raise the water level halfway. Leave the room and get to the back of the room and you'll see an eye switch. Shoot the switch with an arrow and use the Longshot on the target behind the gate before it shuts and follow the path until you reach a block. Push the block as far as it can go and go right and open the chest to get a key. Go straight out of the room and use the Longshot on the target in the ceiling and you'll reach the main area again. Sink to the bottom of the room again and get to the right side and go through that passage to the next room. Surface on the ledge in the room and use the Longshot to reach the other side by the door and use a key to open it. Get across the room while avoiding the spider enemies and the other obstacles and enter the next room. In the next room, defeat the Stinger enemies and then drop down onto the ledge and bomb the crack in the wall. In the new passage, pull the block as far as you can go, then get to the ledge across the water and bomb it, too. Then, enter that side of the passage and push the block as far as possible, then go back to the other side and pull the block some more. When you have enough room, get to the other side and push the block into the water so it pushes down the switch, which raises the water, giving you access to the door! Enter the next room and hit the switch with your sword, then quickly go across the rising water pillars to the other side. In the next room, put on your Iron Boots, then after the boulder passes you, go right and drop into the underwater passageway. Follow the passage to the end and take off your boots to float up to the surface and take the Boss Key from the chest. Now, make your way ALL the way back to the central area and float up to the surface of the water and enter the room above you. Press the switch while you're standing on the water and go up to the top and play Zelda's Lullaby in the following ledge to completely raise the water level! Then, go left and stand on the platform across from the statue with the Longshot target. Aim your Longshot and go across the water and enter the next room. In the next room, run up the slope with the Blade Traps without getting hurt to reach the Boss's Room! (This may take a few times.) To defeat the boss, Morpha, stand along the sides of the room and wait until a tentacle rises from the water. Stand a safe distance away and when the nucleus of the Enemy appears inside it, use the Longshot to pull it out, then swing at it with your sword. Repeat this process until it's defeated and you'll be warped to the Chamber of the Sages! Talk to Ruto and she'll give you the Water Medallion and when you return to Lake Hylia after you beat the temple, the water will fill up again! While standing on the plateau above the Water Temple, stand on the wooden platform in front of the plague, and wait until the sun rises in the morning. Shoot an arrow at the sun and a Fire Arrow will land on a nearby island, so swim over and get it! After that, it's time to go to Kakariko Village again.
