Although I dislike writing guides near release, but I honestly just decided
'why not, nothing better to do'. So I cracked open NotePad and just started
writing - I really did not expect myself to get so carried away and write
so much. But nevertheless, welcome to my guide for The Legend of Zelda: Spirit
Tracks. I'm Rob, and I guess you can call me your 'tour-guide' or 'expert'
on the game, so feel free to contact me!
But of course, I know you don't want to hear me ramble on about my life,
so a few simple things. If you like this guide, please press 'Recommend' at
the top of this page. And if you need to contact me for help with the guide
or game, my information is located at the top and bottom of this guide.
Thanks for your help, and remember, a guide isn't made up of it's author, but
rather than by it's viewers!

|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| When I guide you, I'll use a few specific terms. Note that I use the |
| American flooring (ie, for those who use the British, the ground floor is |
| equal to the first floor, your first floor is our second floor). I also |
| use the Compass directions (north, east, south, west) rather than left, |
| right, etc. |

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you have played The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, then you'll
notice the game plays similar to that game - whether it be simply the menus
or controls. However, there are some fairly new features that I'll go over
in this section.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/\ /\
/__\ Controls /__\
/_\/_\ IIa. /_\/_\
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The controls, also, are fairly simple to grasp ahold of if you have played
Phantom Hourglass, however, they may take a little while to get accustom to
if you haven't played the title. The game utilizes the touch screen rather
heavily, and the actual Nintendo DS buttons are rarely used outside of
shortcuts
-+-_-_--_--_--_--+_---_ <--- |
|Basic Movement | ----> X V
-+-_-_--_--_--_--+_---_
The game is, for the most part, held in an isometrical gaming view. So,
to move, simply touch the direction you'd like to move towards. For example,
if you'd like to move downwards, touch the lower part of the screen below the
main character. Hold the stylus on it, do not let go, and Link will run in
that direction.
Another part of the game is rolling - tap twice while running to do a roll.
Be careful not to do too many consecutive rolls, however, you'll get dizzy
and be momentarily frozen. However, the occasional roll can help increase
your movement speed if you learn to do it correctly. //
/ /
-+-_-_--_--_--_--+_---_ / /
|Swordplay | /_ _/
-+-_-_--_--_--_--+_---_ /_/
Swordplay is near identical to how it was in The Legend of Zelda: Phantom
Hourglass. Once you have your sword, tap to release a basic sword slice. Draw
a vertical line to do a sidestep slice. Draw a quick circle around yourself to
perform a spin attack. You can also do a jump attack by targeting a far-away
enemy.
-+-_-_--_--_--_--+_---_ | |
|Trains | | |
-+-_-_--_--_--_--+_---_ |
New to the Zelda series are trains. If you're in one, the train moves
automatically. You can shift it's speed between Very Fast, Fast, Stop, and
Reverse by using the gearbox on the right side of the screen. Also, you can
pull the whistle by sliding the stylus on the whistle graphic at the top right
of the screen. If you come across an intersection, a box will appear at the
bottom of the screen where you can choose your direction. You can map out
the direction you want to go beforehand, but if you can change it mid-course
by pressing the Map button at the bottom left.
Later in the game you will obtain a cannon. Tap an enemy to attack it with
your cannon. You can also destroy boxes and barrels with your cannon!
\
-+-_-_--_--_--_--+_---_ __/_
|Weapons | / \
-+-_-_--_--_--_--+_---_ \____/
Along the way you'll come across several weapons - classics like the Boomerang
and Bombs, along with newcomers such as the Whirlwind. You can find how to
use each specific weapon in the Weapons section, but you can activate each
weapon by pressing the icon on the lower-right corner of the screen, or by
pressing 'L' or 'R', the shoulder buttons.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ah, here we go. The game opens up with a neat little beginning cutscene. You
may have the option between two dialogue choices in the cutscene, what you
say really doesn't matter. After a while, you gain control of the main
character, Link. If you've read one of my guides, you'd know I'll be bugging
you about searching for rupees, but there's nothing of interest in this
house besides a pot with a heart in it or two. Head south out of the little
hut.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/\ /\
/__\ Aboda Village /__\
/_\/_\ IIIa. /_\/_\
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you go up a little bit, you'll notice a kid with a blue cap on. Talk to
him, and he'll start taunting you. Do a roll into the tree beside him, and
the bees will come down. If you haven't figured it out, angry bees are never
good in a videogame - they'll persue you and damage you. Though the boy will
mention water, don't go towards it as it doesn't scare the bees off. Just
run and roll around in circles to outrun the bees until they get tired.
Once the bees run away, talk to the same boy in the north-easten part of the
village, and he'll give you a [Collection Item]. The item that you recieved
was random, by the way, and varies from game to game.
In your frantic running around, you may have noticed a red-headed girl
calling you. Go up to talk to her, and she'll request that you get rid of the
rocks in front of her house. Tap them, then toss them at the nearest wall.
One of them may contain some rupees, but the main reason that I requested you
talk to her was because if you talk to her after destroying the rocks, she'll
give you a [Red Rupee]. If you're new to the Zelda series, that's equal to
twenty green rupees. A little money is always a good start for a game.
When you're done collecting some extra cash, head to the stairs in the
north-east area to initiate a quick little cut-scene involving a train.
When you're ready, talk to Alfonzo and select the 'Yeah!' dialogue option
to begin. He'll give you a quick briefing, which after you finish listening
to it, you select the 'Yes!' option to continue.
-
Congratulations, you are now on your first train-ride! The train controls may
seem a bit ackward at first, but it shouldn't take long to adjust. The train
moves automatically, and you can change the speed and/or direction by using
the gearbox on the right side of the screen. On the top right is a whistle,
you can use it by 'pulling on it', or putting your stylus on it and dragging
down.
Though it's mostly just a cool noise, you'll find some use for it around
halfway after your first turn on the tracks - you'll see a cow lounging around
on it. Use your whistle to make it move, and you can continue properly.
That is, until you come across an area where you have to choose between two
directions. You can go either left or right. As there is a train heading
from the left, drag the gear that appears at the bottom of the screen to
your left. There will be a few more interesections to, and the trains coming
may vary depending on what speed you were traveling at. Just make the
appropriate turns based on what trains are coming, and you should be fine.
After a few turns later, you'll get a small cut-scene pointing you out to
Castle Town. Once you're in front of hit, stop the train using the gearbox,
and you'll finish your first train-ride. You'll then arrive in Castle Town!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/\ /\
/__\ Castle Town /__\
/_\/_\ IIIb. /_\/_\
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As you arrive to Castle Town, you can check out the town before you head up
to your graduation ceremony. There's not too much of particular interest, just
a few friendly townsfolk, but make sure to smash all the pots you find in the
town - I was able to pick up a second collection item in one of the sets of
pots, as well as around ten or fifteen rupees total. There is also a shop
at the northern part of town, but most, if not all of the items there are
too expensive for you at the moment.
If you go up to the northern-most part of town, the mailman will arrive
with your first letter! You can read it by going to your collection screen
in the menu, but it's mostly just the postmaster welcoming you to his postal
service.
Head north to the Hyrule Castle area to advance, when you're done exploring
town.
-
Once you're in the castle area, you can look around for some boulders and
pots for some rupees, but not much else of interest. Just head north and talk
to the guards. Respond with 'Yes, sir' to gain entrance into the actual
castle.
On the first floor, the two side hallways are blocked by guards who you
can talk with if you so desire. Go north and into the left and right wings
for some pots that you can break, but talk to the man when you're done. At
first, he won't let you go, but a strange looking, red-haired man convinces the
guard to let you through. You'll then enter a cut-scene where you can finally
get to your ceremony.
During the cut-scene, you'll recieve an engineer's certificate (you are now
a full-fledged engineer, congratulations!) and strangely, a letter. When the
cut-scene is over, access the letter in your collection menu. It seems like
Princess Zelda wants to see you in her quarters. She's drawn a secret path
and attatched to it to her letter. Press the 'Map' button at the bottom of the
screen while viewing the letter, and you can put her drawn map on to your own
map.
Head downstairs, and you may have noticed that the two hallways that the
guards had blocked are now open. The only points of interest are some scattered
pots throughout. But to continue on, go down the right hallway on the first
floor, and head south, then head up the stairs. You'll enter the area where
Zelda has marked on her map! Just go north, north through the small ledge,
then hop down into the building to access the second floor. Careful not to fall
off, it would be a pain to get back up.
Continue heading up through the second floor, and go through the right door,
far north, to enter Zelda's room. A short little cut-scene, and you'll be
given Link's classic clothes! Accept her request to escort her, and leave her
room. You'll have to guide her out - as a bunch of guards have suddenly
appeared on the second floor. What would be a cel-shaded Zelda game without
a stealth sequence?
This room is pretty simple - just wait until the two guards aren't looking,
and head towards the exit to the outside near the middle-eastern area. In
the outside area, you need to get past three guards. For the first, he's
stationary, so you can't just wait until he looks back on his own. Keep Zelda
put, then take Link and talk to him from behind. He'll turn around, and engage
in conversation with you. When he's talking, switch to Zelda by pressing the
Zelda button, and have her sneak behind the bush. Link then go meet up with
Zelda.
The second guard is similar - have Link talk to the guard from behind, and
while he's distracted, direct Zelda behind the long, skinny bush. You'll
then be up to the final guard - but if you try to talk to him and distract him,
it won't work. You need something bigger to distract him. Take a boulder,
and toss it from behind the northern most bush. He'll go investiagate, so
quickly switch to Zelda and have her dash to the front entrance. Have Link go
meet up with her, and you're done with this room!
Head outside, and you'll be presented with a pretty heavy, plot initiating
cut-scene. You'll then end up back in Hyrule Castle. Wake up and talk to the
old man, what you say to him doesn't really matter too much. When you're
done talking, leave the room to see a really short cut-scene involving the
spirit of Zelda having some troubles. Head out the left side of the building,
and into the center - head up to the center stairway.
You'll encounter another quick cut-scene with Zelda, follow her and go through
the right door, then up into Zelda's bedroom. You'll then experience a longer
cut-scene, and at the end, you're presented with the Spirit Flute! Exit the
bedroom, and head south back into the royal room, though. Go through the
left door this time, and continue up to be in a long, skinny area. Talk to the
guard, and he requests that you own a sword before you continue. Before you go
out looking for your sword, however, head right, and bust open the tresure
chest for a [Red Rupee], as well as some pots.
Go all the way back down to the first floor, and then head through the
right hallway, then north. This is the training room - talk to the man
in the upper left corner, who'll give you a [RECRUIT'S SWORD]. Hooray!
However, you'll have to complete a quick training exercise with him before
you can keep it. Just do a targeted attack [tap the enemies], a sidestep
slash [draw a line in front of the enemies], and a spin attack [draw a
circle around yourself while in front of the enemies] and he'll give you the
sword permanently.
Go back the way you came - through the center stairs on the first floor, and
through the left door. But before we depart, head left, then go outside on
the roof to find a tresure chest containing a [Collection Item].
Now, go back up to the stairs on the right side, back to the long, skinny
area with the lone guard. Talk to him, and he'll let you go. Simply follow
the path, slicing the enemies on your way and destroying any pots you find, up
to the northern wall. There used to be a tunnel, but if you talked to the
guard in the field, he told you that there have been rocks covering it.
If you're looking for the entrance, go to the right most tree, and take
four steps (with Link) to your left. The covered entrance is right in front
of there - place one of the bomb flowers there, and it'll explode, revealing
the entrance to the Tunnel of Spirits. Well, that's not it's official name,
but I'm calling it that because it's pretty cool sounding - wouldn't you
agree?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/\ /\
/__\ Tunnel of Spirits /__\
/_\/_\ IIIc. /_\/_\
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go in, and watch out for that flying bat, which I'll call a Keese. Slay it,
and continue to your right for four Red Chus to drop by. Slash them all, I
found luring them all near me and then conquering them all at once using a
spin slash was my method of choice, and continue to your right. You'll find
damn near one of the oldest tricks in the book - the old switch-that-doesn't-
stay-down-when-you-step-on-it-and-requires-you-to-drag-a-block-on-to-it trick.
If it wasn't self explanatory enough, tap the block just south of the brown
switch, and drag it on to the switch. This will open a wall to your right
which contains a tresure chest, which in turn, contains a small key.
Use the key to open up the locked wall by the front stairs (tap the wall to
use it) and continue up the stairs. Watch out for the Red Chu, and continue
north, and simply follow the path, hopping over the little island-ettes.
Watch out for the final Red Chu, and look in the tresure chest for a [Red
Rupee]. Sheesh, Spirit Tracks sure is fond of these freebie rupees, aren't
they?
Nevertheless, take the bomb flower and throw it forward into the little
fragile block pile. Wait for it to explode, and then repeat the process for
the second layer. You'll now have access to a second room. Kill off the
enemies, and you're left with a little mini-puzzle. You can do it yourself
by reading the stones back at the island-ettes, but I'll have to give the
obligatory, 'but this is what you're reading the guide for, correct?
statement and simply give you a diagram.

There are four purple switches layed out in the diagram above, simply hit
them in the order given above (1, then 2, then 3, then 4) to finish the
puzzle. Also be aware that you have to do it somewhat quick - after you
hit the first orb, a timer starts, and if it runs out, you have to do the
puzzle again.
Head up to the third floor, be wary of the Keese, and smash the pots if you so
desire. Nope, no puzzles on this floor - but there's a cute little cutscene
involving Zelda and some mice - simply slay them to continue on. You can now
exit the tunnel!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/\ /\
/__\ Tower of Spirits /__\
/_\/_\ IIId. /_\/_\
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As you leave the tunnel, you'll encounter a nice little cutscene that thickens
the plot a fair bit. When you're done, head north up the stairs. Continue up
the lengthy set of curving stairs (I was honestly expecting a trap or
something, but I guess not) and head through the door to floor one.
-
Head through the first floor, and you'll encounter some heavy doors. But
before you can investigate it further, a huge monster with a huge sword
appears, and chases you. Retreat to the ground floor, and you'll recieve
instructions on how to conquer it - gather three Tears of Light to power the
sword, and slash the monster in the back. Got it? Then head up.
When you're back on the first floor, go into the square path and head left,
through the sparkly floor (you'll learn that it's a safe zone - enemy phantoms
can't touch it) and then continue left for [Tear of Light #1]. When you
finish, head back to the original safe zone and watch your mini-map to make
sure the phantom is far away, then head north through the doorway for the
[Tear of Light #2].
While in the section, follow the pathway just to your right to discover
a purple orb. If you tried to obtain the third tear of light, you may have
noticed that there was a gaping hole blocking it. If you hit the purple orb,
a bridge will cover the hole - but it's only temporary. Quickly run all the way
back to the safe zone spot, down, and follow the curve down to the right
doorway - then dash across the bridge to claim your [Tear of Light #3]. Now
you're done and can conquer the Phantom! Stay in a safe zone until it comes
near, and just when it passes you, leap out and stab it in the back.
But, not so fast - it doesn't quite work! You'll encounter a quick cut-scene
ending with Zelda taking over the phantom's body. When you get control of Link,
you can control the phantom just like how your controlled Zelda during the
escort mission back at the castle. Now to open the door!
Place Link on one side of the door, and place Zelda on the other. Drag Zelda
to the other half of the door and through it - this will make her push it. At
the same time, as Link, run into the door, or, push it. You now have access
to the next floor!
-
On floor 2, go to the curve of the wall, and you'll notice some spikes. Though
Link can't cross it, Zelda can! Drag her cursor across, and drag the phantom
body to the purple switch, until a little symbol appears over it. Release,
and she'll slash the switch, which in turn, lowers the spikes so you can cross.
If you were to head north, all that there would be there would be a large hole
that's too large to jump across. Head south, and you'll find two switches.
Place Link on one, then Zelda on the other. This will open the door in front
of you. If you continue on, you'll discover some rats. If you remember in the
tunnel, Zelda was petrified by the rats. Same here - even in her huge, bulky,
phantom form. Have Link slash the two rats - but, that's not all. A rat hole
is constantly spewing out rats. Push the block to prevent any more rats from
coming out, then slash whatever rats are left. Zelda is free to pass, now!
Another set of spikes. Have Zelda cross it. Head past the enemy Phantom,
Zelda is immune to them. Have her hit the switch to lower the spikes. But
since the enemy phantom is guarding it, you have to kill it. Have Zelda talk
to the Phantom, make sure it's back is turned, and have Link go behind the
phantom and kill it. You're done with this floor, head up!
-
The third floor is safe! After some quick cut-scenes, head north and grab the
[FOREST RAIL MAP]. Hooray! After some more dialogue, a blue light will
appear. Step in it to warp back to the Tower of Spirit's lobby. Talk to
Anjean, and you'll encounter another cut-scene. Afterwards, you'll be given
a new train! Awesome. Head towards the town in the middle of the tracks
labeled as '????'. You won't have to deal with incoming trains, but you still
need to watch out for animals on the tracks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

/__\ Whittleton /__\
/_\/_\ IIIe. /_\/_\
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+-----------------------------+ Whittleton is a neat little town tucked away
| Whittleton General Store | that you skipped by on your trip to Castle
|-----------------------------| Town. The first point of interest here would
| Shield ................ 080 | be obtaining a shield. Go to the general
| Red Potion ............ 100 | store, the hut on the far left, and purchase
| Prize Postcards ....... 100 | a shield if you have 80 rupees, which you
| Treasure Items [2] .... 100 | should if you've been listening and have been
+-----------------------------+ smash pots often. If not, it's okay for right
now, but try to remember to get it next time
you visit. The second point of interest would be advancing the story. If you
tried to enter the Lost Woods, you would have a lot of trouble - so you need
to get some background information here first. Check the house at the northern
most part of the village.
Talk to the village chief, who will direct you to the villagers of the town.
If you talked to all of them, they claim to be on the lookout for a tree
with a treebranch pointing either right of left. However, they also jokingly
tell you that the fourth tree with no leaves has no sense of direction,
which means to go the opposite of the way it points.
Head to the little path that seemingly stops abruptly on your map - to the
Lost Woods. I believe that the direction the branches are pointing at vary
from game to game, so just follow the directions - look out for the tree
with no leaves, and for the fourth one, go in the opposite of the direction
it points you out in. When you're done, you should end up in the Forest
Sanctuary.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/\ /\
/__\ Forest Sanctuary /__\
/_\/_\ IIIf. /_\/_\
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here we are! As you dock, before you begin advancing, you may want to clear
the area of enemies - it will make everything a lot easier. Once done, head
north from the station, then up the stairs to your right, then south. You'll
notice two bomb flowers, and if you go west just a bit, you'll notice a switch,
that when hit, opens a bridge, but for only a few seconds. Your goal is to
destroy some wooden blocks on the otherside across the bridge - but the
problem is, the bridge only lasts a few seconds, so we gotta get creative.
Take one bomb, and place it near the purple switch. Rush back to the other side
and grab the other bomb flower. The bomb flower near the purple switch should
have detonated by now, and the delay between you placing it and it detonating
should buy you plenty enough time to lug the second bomb flower across the
bridge. Place it down near the explodable blocks, the brown, cracked ones,
and it'll make a path. There are two spots where you need to do so - one is
continuing west after crossing the bridge, the second is north after crossing
the bridge, to make a shortcut so next time you need to go past here, you can
just take the stairs.
Nevertheless, when you're done, continue west. You'll encounter eight
statues, lined up in an octagon. If you go to the center, you'll notice a sign
that says that we need to connect the two that face each other. If you look
around, you'll notice that these two statues:
[o] o
o o
o [o]
o o
are facing each other, so you when 'talking' to the sign in the center,
you need to use your stylus to drag a line between them. Once this is done,
the entrance up north will open where you will meet Gage! You'll get a quick
little cut-scene, followed up by him requiring you play a duet with him on the
Spirit Flute.
It can be a pain to use, but I found it simple once you got the hang of it -
hold the DS microphone about a foot from your face, and blow lightly. Follow
his instructions, and eventually, it'll end, and your Forest Map Piece will
get an upgrade. Now, head out to the Forest Temple! Just have your train go to
the northern-most part.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

/__\ Forest Temple /__\
/_\/_\ IIIg. /_\/_\
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once you're in the Forest Temple, you'll get a brief talking from Zelda, and
you'll gain control. Nothing of interest in this main room, so head north
to the first floor. Follow the path past the locked door, where you'll come
upon a gap. The gap's too large to be crossed, though if you look at the other
side, you'll spot a purple switch. Grab one of the acorns and toss it across at
the switch. This will open up a bridge so you can now cross the gap.
Looking north, there's some eerie purple gaseous area, and every gamer knows
that it's not a great idea to just walk into it. Instead, head southward, into
the room, then a-ha. The door closes - another old, Zelda trick! Enemies will
suddenly appear, they're easy to beat, so just give them a few slashes. When
they're all dead, the door opens that was blocking you from advancing, as well
as the one that closes you in. On top of that, a bonus tresure chest appears
to make up for your troubles - pop it open for a [Big Green Rupee]. This baby
is worth 100 normal green rupees. Pretty awesome if you ask me. Nevertheless,
head up the stairs in the western area of the room.
-
You are now in floor two. Watch out for the purple clouds in the way, and
head north. Go through the door and - dammit, again! The doors close on you,
and three or four bugs appear. They are quicker, yet they still are wimpy in
the fact that they only require one slash to conquer. However, upon death they
release that pesky purple liquid in the spot they died in, so be wary of that
as well. But hey - after they're dead, a whitish-gold tresure chest appears,
and it's pretty large too. Most of us Zelda fans know that that means a great
thing is going to come out of it. Open it to find ... the [WHIRLWIND].
+--------------------------+ Aha. With this new device, you can do plenty of

+--------------------------+ the western corner, you'll spot a strange machine
that's currently of no use, as well as a switch.
Upon activating it, you'll make a tresure chest
appear in the room to the east. Watch out for the newly formed poison bugs,
and open it for a [Big Green Rupee].
Head back upstairs to the windmill room, and then head left to the room you
opened a minute or two ago. Blow away the purple clouds blocking the entrance
to the stairwell, then enter bring back down to the first floor.
-
Now back at the first floor, head west to find a key stranded on an island.
Stand on either side, then blow your Whirlwind to have the key travel to the
opposite side. Run over, and grab it. Remember that one locked door waaay
at the beginning of the temple? Yeah, we can head to it. But instead of having
to backtrack, you can just hit the neat little brown switch in the upper-east
corner of the room you're in, to bring down the wall below, for a shortcut
back to the very first area you were in. Head south, then west to get to the
locked door, and open it with your key.
Head down the path, and down the path. If you need hearts, you can crack open
the jars to the east, otherwise, head down into the chamber - and the door will
close on you - now I'm starting to get used to it. Two flying skulls will
now appear - use your Whirlwind to first knock the purple gas off them, and
stun them. Run up to the collapsed skull to deliver the final blow. Repeat the
process to the second skull, and the doors will open. Unfortunately, you don't
get any tresure this time around. Head up the stairs back to floor two.
-
On the next floor, you can head east for a mini-sanctuary of some sorts, filled
with jars and grass to rejuvenate your health. Head north when you're done,
and then continue, watch out for the poison bug, up the stairs to floor three.
-
Take a left, kill the bug, and you'll notice a switch, along with an acorn.
The gap in between them is too large for you to throw, so this time, break
out your Whirlwind and blow it straight north, it'll land on the purple switch
and cause a tresure chest to appear. Grab it for a [Small Key]. The door is
on the western side of the area you were just in, so head down the stairs.
-
Head south, then west to the locked door. Make sure your hearts are full,
because you're about to encounter a ...
+-*-*-*-*-*-*-+
| Mini-Boss |
+-------------+
Your enemy is a bird ... thing. He/she flies around the stage, and is smarter
than your average enemy - if you try to just use a Whirlwind on it, it'll
use it's wings to reflect the whirlwind back at you - and if you get hit by
your own whirlwind, it'll take the oppertunity to do a little dash attack at
you.
So what you have to do is play the same reflect game back at it. The miniboss
will release a purple skull projectile attack on you if you wait a bit -
when it releases the skull, use your whirlwind to reflect the skull back at
the mini-boss. It will be stunned, and take this time to rush at it and do a
spin attack. Repeat the process once more, and the mini-boss will die. If you
ever get low on health, there are some grass patches in all four corners of
the chamber.
When it dies, it will release a red rupee, but sadly, no tresure chest. Head
the only direction you can, north from the mini-boss chamber.
---
Once you're up on floor four, take a look around. If you've played Phantom
Hourglass, you may remember the boss key - a large key that had to be lugged
around and tossed in the boss door. On this floor, you can see the boss key
not too far away from the boss door - but the problem is, the room where the
boss key is located is closed in by a door. Let's solve that, shall we?
Head south-west into the little area. There's a room to your left, but it's
closed in by a door. Head east to come upon a new enemy - a blue, caterpillar
like creature. If you slash it, it rolls up into a spiky ball. You may also
notice a wall of explodable rocks blocking your way. Put two and two together,
and use your whirlwind to blow the blue catipillar ball remains into the
brown blocks, and it'll destroy them.
In the next room, quickly blow away the purple gas (watch out for the
blue caterpillar, it respawns) to create a more usable passageway. Head on the
path, then take a little detour east and hit the switch. This will reveal a
tresure chest if you go back on the main path, which contains a [Collection
Item]. Head east, and hit the purple switch to open the door. No timer,
either - I was expecting one, too. So just head all the way west to the newly
opened passage.
In the next room, there are two caterpillars, as well as a gap, and on the
other side of the gap, a row of explodable blocks, and a purple switch on the
end. Take turns slashing and blowing the caterpillars to clear the rocks,
and once you're done, blow one at the purple switch to open the boss key
door. Also, be aware as not to accidently blow one caterpillar into the
other - with them constantly moving around and respawning, it may be hard
not too, and it's also a pretty nasty explosion.
Go back to the boss key - but bringing back isn't as easy as you think. Look
at the floor pattern in the boss key room - little squares with spirals. Try
to avoid stepping on those spots on your path to the boss door. If you happen
to do so, you'll end up in a pretty scary situation involving two powerful,
purple hand enemies (if you get caught by them, just drop the key - it's
easier) so you have to take a small detour around the back end of the door.
Throw the boss key into the door, and prepare for your first boss fight.
Make sure your health is full - there are jars all over if you need them. If
for some strange reason, you need to go back to the front entrance, you can
talk to the stone, but otherwise, enter ...
O==============O
| BOSS |
+------O==============O------+
| STAGNOX, ARMORED COLOSSUS |
+----------------------------+
For a boss, Stagnox is surprisingly easy, but then again, he's your first one.
For the first part, he's simply going to stand in the center and rotate around,
following you. When he's about to stop, he'll stop rotating. Use this
oppertunity to rush behind him, and use your Whirlwind to blow the purple
clouds on his back end off. He'll then be vulnerable, so go up to him, and
unleash some spin slashes on him. Repeat the process just once to finish part
one of the battle.
For part two, Stagnox takes to the sky, and releases some blue caterpillar
minions on you. The silly boss doesn't know that you'll just use these against
him - slash the caterpillars to turn them into blue, spiky balls, then wait
for him to attempt a dash attack. When he does, use the Whirlwind to launch the
blue spiked balls at him. His dash is fairly fast, though, so you have to be
prepared to launch. Getting into position before hand helps. Repeat the process
once more, and Stagnox falls to the ground, dead.
---
You'll initiate a few cut-scenes: one involving part of the Spirit Tracks
being repaired, another involving another section of the Tower of Spirits
opening up, and another creating a statue in the boss area. Grab the Heart
Container in front of you, upgrading your health to four hearts! You can now
take the blue portal out, as well.
Normally I'd request you to go to the Tower of Spirits, first, but there's a
quick little thing you may want to do first. You may have remembered a
Cuckoo back at the Forest Sanctuary. Go back to the Forest Sanctuary via
railroad, and go on the ledge by the island with the Cuckoo on it. Blow it off
with your Whirlwind, then grab it. Go back to the stairs leading to the ledge,
and jump off in the direction of the island, Cuckoo in hand, flapping to give
you a boost. You'll land on the island with at tresure chest - pop it open to
reveal a [Big Red Rupee]. That's worth a whopping 200 normal rupees!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/\ /\
/__\ Tower of Spirits /__\
/_\/_\ IIIh. /_\/_\
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Begin your trip back to the Tower of Spirits. Now there are two trains roaming
around that you have to be careful about, but otherwise, nothing different
about the trip to the tower.
Talk to Anjean again, and then head north back to the spiral stair room. I
hate to bring up another Phantom Hourglass comparison, but if you remember,
the Temple of the Ocean King was highly criticized for being repetitive.
Spirit Tracks fixes this problem - now, you have a shortcut - the stairs have
been extended, and skip past the first couple of floors. So now head up the
slightly longer stairwell to the second door.
Make a dash for the first safe zone you see on the floor. You may notice
that there is lava - you can't walk into it, so you have to use your new
Whirlwind to blow the Tear of Light on to the other side. Make sure the
phantom patrolling around the area wasn't looking, and blow. But you have to
be extra careful - the phantom can see across as well as WALK across the
lava. Nevertheless, when the coast is clear, grab the [Tear of Light #1].
Go around in a U-shaped manner, and when you cross the right side of the 'U',
there should be a visible tresure chest. Be careful, though, it's not in a
safe zone, but inside is a [Collection Item]. Head back up north, and then
take a quick right for the [Tear of Light #2]. Head southwest just a fair bit,
be wary of the patrolling phantom, for your [Tear of Light #3]. Also be
careful of the fire breathing statues - they are real royal pains in the
buttocks.
With that, slash either of the phantoms - preferably the southern one, as
it's closest to the area you need to cross, then head to the southern pool
of lava. Have Zelda walk towards the end of the platform, then she'll
mention that Link could ride on Zelda's back. Go up to the phantom, and tap it
to jump on it's back, then continue the way to the other side of the lava.
Head through and go up the stairs.
-
Go all the way down to the platform near the lava, and hop on Zelda's back.
Continue, and you'll notice a little section where there's a windmill. Use
the Whirlwind to get it blowing, then continue to trek westwards. You'll
notice a second windmill - blow on it too. You can also head to the south-
western most part of the pool of lava for a tresure chest containing a
neat, [Big Green Rupee]!
Keep heading down the path, ignoring the first turn north, into a little
section where the skull is on the mini-map. Turn out that 'skull' was just one
of the little, unclassifiable brown guys you've seen. However, it may not be
strong, but it sure is fast - and runs away every time you see it. The goal is
to follow it's pattern, and send Zelda packing in one direction, and have Link
go the other to try and sandwich it. Zelda will have it scramble in one
direction, and Link takes the oppertunity to slash it. The enemy will then
yield a [Small Key].
Go north, unlock the door, cross the lava by riding Zelda, and prepare for a
pretty hard mini-boss battle.
+-*-*-*-*-*-*-+
| Mini-Boss |
+-------------+
This guy makes a comeback from Phantom Hourglass. I don't believe he had an
official name (if he did, feel free to correct me) so I just called him
Fishman. Turns out his name in this game is Geozard, so I'll refer to him as
that. Well, he's back, and a lot harder too. He's fast, and delivers hard,
swift strikes with his sword.
Use Zelda to distract him - target Geozard you'll get a yellow, target
icon - and then have Link go from behind in the swordfight, and strike. Spin
strikes work best. This is about all there is to the battle, but it's a lot
easier said than done, and the whole battle requires around six to nine
strikes.
---
Continue on, there's some blue jars to rejuvenate your health if you need it,
then head south through the passageway, then west. There's some sort of
strange, tall goblin on top of a tall creature of some sort, just ignore it.
Go up to the never-ending line of fire, and use Zelda to stand in front of it
and block the flames, allowing Link to past. There's then a little ledge -
put Zelda in front of it, and have Link jump on. You can now go up to the
creature and slash it if you desire.
Go back, and head through the flames. Be careful of the one statue that's
high up, though, wait for it to pass. Continue on, passing by the first
passageway, and going to the room with the key on the island. Use the Whirlwind
to knock it off, then grab the [Small Key].
Continue, careful of the flames, back to the square room. There are two
statue-goblins, so slay them if you want to, or just open the locked door,
and continue up to the seventh and final floor.
-
Head north and pick up the [Snow Rail Map]. Use the blue light to return
back to the lobby. Talk to Anjean real quick, then let's get going.

Head down to Castle Town - but on the way, you'll get rammed by some animals.
You have no way of defending at the moment, so Zelda suggests that we go to
Castle Town, which is why I asked you to go there.
Head up to the Hyrule Castle area. Also note that if you didn't get your
shield at Whittleton, Castle Town's general store also supplies it, so grab it
if you haven't already. Once in the castle, head to the clinic area, it was
the hallway on the left if you forgot. Oh yeah, we forgot all about Alfonso,
didn't we? Talk to him, and he states that once he gets back home to Aboda
Village, he can do something about our train problem. Do what the man says
and head to Aboda.
-
Not really much has changed on the tracks, but still you have to be careful
about the evil spirited trains - it's not that hard to get into a nasty crash
with any of them. But anyways, when you arrive, Alfonso's going to fix you
up with something special for your train. He suggests that you go visit Niko
while he's fixing it up.
Niko's in the western most house, if you forgot. Talk to him, and he'll go on
about how he always wanted a stamp collection. He requests that if you see
any stamp machines, that you should fill up his stamp book with it. He then
gives you his [Stamp Book]. You can start with the one right outside, near
the northern-central part of the village. Anyways, Alfonso's done now, so
if you go near the ship, you'll find out that it's now equipped with a cannon.

Now, exit Whittleton and head to the Forest Sanctuary. Like the trip to
Whittleton, it's a relatively safe trip. The stamp machine in the Forest
Sanctuary is located near the northern-most steps. Head back to the train,
and head to the Forest Temple. Watch out for a skulltula, or two.
You may remember the Stamp Machine in the Forest Temple. Go north into the
main floor, and head through the path. Go down the bridge to your west,
then head north into the poisonous gas area. Blow away all the gas, and then
at the western most part of the chamber, where the switch with the 100
rupees was, is the stamp machine. Go back out the way we came, and now we're
all caught up with stamps!

/__\ Rabbitland Rescue /__\
/_\/_\ IIIj. /_\/_\
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you're in the Forest Temple, make a U-shape and go in the direction
leading off the map. On the way to the snowy area, however, if you have a keen
eye, you'll notice a small, little docking station tucked away without a map
icon. Enter it, and strangely, the place is called Rabbitland Rescue.
Talk to the lone man dressed in a rabbit costume (or I can't tell, perhaps
he's simply a giant bunny) and he'll give you an item called the [Rabbit
Net]. Apparently, if you're noticed any bunnies on the side of the road,
nail it with the cannon to initiate a catching mini-game. You can then catch
the rabbit, and bring it here so it has a good home. Like the stamp collecting,
collecting rabbits can net you some nice rewards as well.
Strange little visit, but nevertheless, continue on your journey. On the way,
you'll land in the Snow Realm. Take a right, and you'll notice a strange arc.
Hit it with your cannon, and it'll turn yellow. You'll initiate a cut-scene.
If you want to test it out, pull your whistle while running through it to
create a warp between here, and the Forest Realm. Pretty neat.
Either way, continue chugging along to the snowy icon, which is a town called
Anouki Village.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/\ /\
/__\ Anouki Village /__\
/_\/_\ IIIk. /_\/_\
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Landing in Anouki Village, you'll notice that it's a snowy village with
Eskimo-like inhabitants. Before you get too into this, however, you may want
to grab the stamp from the [STAMP MACHINE]. If you immediately branch off
from the main, stone path when you depart off the train to your right, then
head north, in the middle of some trees is your stamp machine. A word of
advice, however: this town does have enemies, and one in particular, the
frozen Chu, is undefeatable, and does a lot of damage. If you get caught by
one, rub the stylus on your screen, but try to avoid them.
Once you get on the main path, the one last point of interest would be a new
song. Go up to the whistling stone right below the village chief's house, or
the northern most center house, and play Orange, Yellow, Orange, Blue.
+-----------------------------+ A tresure chest will appear in place of the

You can try and find out yourself, but of course, again, this guide will just
give you the answers. If you would like to find out yourself, just talk to all
the Anouki's, and they'll give you their preference, and you have to put them
all together to find out who doesn't want to pair up with who. When you're
done, talk to the village chief, who'll give you a diagram. For you cheaters
out there, the matches are below. Just match up one with one, two with two,
and three with three.

Once you capture your Snow Rabbit, the ride is relatively calm sans a boar
raid, which are simple enough to fend off. However, the trouble begins when
you enter the tunnel. If you look up at the camera, you may spot something
strange. That's because it's a ...
O-*-*-*-*-*-*-O
| Mini-Boss |
O-------------O
A huge, rock, bug-like creature with a single eye that appears to be in it's
mouth drops from the ceiling. The mini-boss is simple, but I wouldn't quite say
easy. All you have to do is tap it's eye to fire a cannon at it. After about
four or five successful launches at it, it falls down, but starts to chase
you a few seconds later. Simply keep firing at it, and once it had fallen down
about four or five times, the boss is over.
There's no real strategy to this mini-boss if you're having trouble - just
practice aiming, because accuracy is the main key to this mini-boss.

Above is a diagram of the room you are in when you enter the cave. Your goal

simply follow the 'X's I made on the diagram above. Press the switch, follow
the X's, and you should be good to go!
The next room in contains Steem. Perform the song that he requests, and then,

You can then enter Wellspring Station. There is nothing of interest (the
stamp machine requires additional equipment before you can reach it) except
for a lone house on the east side of the area. Might as well head there. Once
you enter the building, Zelda'll appear and point out a map on the desk. Take
a look at it, and mark the spots on your map. Leave the station and visit
them.
Or rather, it. The guy who made the map, Ferrus, is down at the southern most
marked spot on the map. Head there, and you'll see a blue-haired man taking
photographs. When you get near him, come to a halt to initiate a little cut-
scene. Then, after some dialogue, he'll offer you an old map of the proper
path to the Ice Temple. Blow in the microphone to clear the dust clouds, then
trace the map on to your own map.
Now, head to the Snow Temple using the newly marked path. You may want to stop
at Wellspring again, however, so you don't have to go backwards the entire
trip there.

As you land, you'll get a quick little talking with Zelda. Otherwise, just
continue up, and head through the north door. Smash the pots in this room if
you so desire. In the next room, watch out for the Keese. Also note that the
frozen grass in this temple needs to be sliced to pass through, and you cannot
just step over it. That said, slash the grass and continue to the room to your
north since there's nothing more we can do here.
In the next room, Zelda points out the bell. First, though, you may want to
clear the room of frozen Chus. Nail them with your Whirlwind, and when
they're stunned, you slash them. Once done, go south of the block carrying the
bell - and push it forwards. This will slide it into the switch, which opens up
a door to your east.
Enter the newly opened room and you now have a puzzle of some sort. You have
to cross a large gap that's too big too jump across. You have to push the
block to make a stepping stone formation to cross the gap - but the problem
is, the block below is on ice, and slips around easily.

Here you just need to push the block downwards, left, upwards, right, then
up once more. This will place the block in the middle. You can now go on the
stairs, and hop on the block, then to the other side. Continue to follow the
path so you're now into the next room.
Once in the next room, you'll see an otter type of creature spewing out those
blue caterpillar balls. You'll also see a gap, with a purple switch on the
side. Line up with the purple switch, and when the blue caterpillar ball
comes flying south, use your Whirlwind to knock the blue ball into the purple
switch, and creating a bridge across. Watch out for the otters as you
cross (you can temporarily stun them with your Whirlwind, but I didn't really
find it necessary) and then head down the stairs to the basement.
-
In the basement, just push the block forwards into the water in front of you.
Hop on the block yourself. Then, use your Whirlwind to get the windmill in
front of you spinning, which'll open the door on the little island to your
northeast. You can move your block around by using the Whirlwind as a
propellor - blow in the OPPOSITE of the direction you want to move in. Watch
out for the creature on the otherside, then hop on to the land mass.
Do the same thing - push the new block on to the water, and jump on it.
You'll find another sea otter monster. This time, you can reflect it's
projectiles back at it to kill it, using your Whirlwind. Keep sailing west,
but when you see a little alcove, head towards it. Hop on the land real quick
to grab a Red Rupee out of the tresure chest. Continue sailing north, killing
the sea otter if you need to. Finally, head east, killing the last sea otter.
When you kill it, a tresure chest will appear on the T-shaped land. Pop it
open for a [Collection Item].
Head into the room - we're done with the water puzzles, for now. Good thing,
too, I was getting light-headed. But anyways, there's a puzzle we can't quite
get to yet, so head west into the closed room. The doors close, and you're in
one of those traps again! This time, with ice keese. Be very careful not to
touch them (it seems they just like to fly around randomly, and don't target
you in particular, though) as they freeze you. Hit them with your Whirlwind
to knock the icy aura off them, and then slash them as normal. Repeat with the
remaining two, and the doors open. A golden tresure chest appears. Open it for
a [BOOMERANG].
+-------------------------------------+ Exit back into the main room. Now,

| swiftly hit or carry things, and |
| attack enemies from afar. |
+-------------------------------------+
On the next floor, head south, past the plaque, the bell, and the ice, down
where there's a gap. Use the Boomerang to hit the Ice Keese (with your
Boomerang, you can kill them in one hit!) to reveal a tresure chest back up
near the stairs. Go back and open it for a [Collection Item]. Also use the
Boomerang in the same area to nail the purple switch, opening the previously
sealed door. Push the block south, then west into the mainroom. Once the block
is in the mainroom, follow the instructions in the diagram below.
+-------------------------------+

+-----------+
Now that you have the two bells in place, remember the plaque? It said to
hit the large, central bell once, the smaller, southeast bell twice, then
the central bell once more. So use the Boomerang to hit the bells in the order
of big, little, little, big, all in one swipe. Once done, a previously sealed
door in the southwest corner of the room opens up.
-
In the next room, you'll find another classic Zelda trick - the four, unlit
torches surrounding the lit torch right after you've obtained the Boomerang.
Your goal, if you haven't figured it out, is to use the Boomerang on the
torch, to carry the flame over to the unlit torches. The problem is, you have
to do it in a certain order. If you have a Boomerang on fire, it will melt
any snow. So if you take the time to use the torch and boomerang to melt the
entire snow covered floor you can uncover markings that tell you what order.
Or, I could just tell you myself ...
[3] [1]
FIRE
[4] [2]
Hit the torches in that order with the firey Boomerang, and the door on the
west side of the room opens up. Head back down to the basement through the
newly opened stairs.
-
Head right, and you'll notice a pool of water, and a torch - except the fire,
if you can call it that, is blue. However, it appears to be an icy fire of
some sort - if you throw your boomerang at it, it freezes all the water the
icy boomerang passes. So use it to create an ice bridge to head to the other
side. Grab the [Small Key] in the tresure chest, and return. Unlock the door
and step into the room.
The doors close, and four ice Octotroks drop from the ceiling. Their invincible
while in ice form, but you have a handy torch nearby. Dab the Boomerang in the
torch, then toss it at the ice-covered Octotroks to melt their covering - then
you can slash the remaining bodies of them. Repeat to defeat all three, and
the door opens, as well as one leading to the water. If you peek out of the
newly opened door, you can see a windmill covered in ice. Use the torch
and the Boomerang to melt the ice.
Go back down into the main room, back to the ice-fire torch. Create a bridge
so that you can see the windmill, and then switch to your Whirlwind, and
blow a tornado in the direction of the windmill. This opens a new door - head
towards it. Make sure to take care of the sea otter when you get there as
well.
+-----------------------------------+ Now the rest is pretty self-explantory.

-
On the next floor, you can start with going to the southern end, near the
body of water, and using the ice-fire torch to erect a bridge and cross it
to hit the switch, thus opening a door. Use the torch to make a bridge
north to a treasure chest containing a Red Rupee.
The next part can be pretty confusing. But simply push the bell: north,
east, south, west, north. Then, build an ice bridge, and quickly push the
bell west, so it follows the ice bridge all the way to the other side. Once
it's on the otherside, light up the torches in the new room that the block
is in. It will make a new treasure chest in a currently unreachable area,
but we'll get it later. Now, ice the entire lake that is south of where the
block is. Then, push it south, west, south, west, north, and finally east.
If you had gotten your block lost at any point (ie, accidently pushed it the
wrong way) your goal is to make the block across the bridge, and into the
slot in the main room. It should be fairly simple to figure it out yourself.
But anyways, now that you are done, it's time to hit the bells. If you went
back to the room to your west, and then south, you'd find a small area with
some torches. If you melted the snow, you'd find the scripting that says to
hit the bells in this order: left, middle, middle, right, middle. This will
open the door to your north. Open the treasure chest for a Red Rupee, ignore
the iced Octotrok, and continue upstairs.
-
On the second floor, head south, ignoring the room to your left, and kill
all the icy Chus (stun with Boomerang --> sword slash) and continue
east. Go up to the sign, and it displays something like this:
[Blue]
[Red] [Blue]
[Red] [Red]
[Blue]
This means that back in the room you skipped, that you should light up the
torches with the corresponding color. You have to do it in one swipe, though,
which may be a bit tricky. After doing so, the locked door to your right opens
up. Continue down, and the doors close on you, leaving you to combat with
five white wolves. They're tricky, and dodge attacks well. The best method is
to corner them, and spin attacks work well. Once you defeat them all, the door
opens and you can continue.
Head down to the icy path, and you'll see the Boss Key on the island. The
Boomerang is too small to pick up the key, so you'll need to get on one side
of it, and use the Whirlwind to blow it to the other side. Use the switch to
create the bridge, first! Once it's done, pick up the [Boss Key], head
west a bit, and throw it in the boss door. No tricks this time, hooray! Trek
up to the third and final floor ...
-
There are some pots accessible via Boomerang if you need them. When you're
ready for your second boss, head up the stairs ...
O==============O
| BOSS |
+------O==============O------+
| FRAAZ, MASTER OF ICY FIRE |
+----------------------------+
I have to say, this is easily the hardest boss or mini-boss you've faced
so far, as well as the most complicated. I'd also like to take this 'author
commentary' paragraph to point out the boss's name. If you remember, Blaaz
was the boss of the Fire Temple back in Phantom Hourglass - see the name
as well as physical similarities, Phantom Hourglass fans?
But I apologize for digressing, the first part is very easy, however. There
are two torches - one with ice, the other with fire. He will take the form of
one element or the other (you can tell - if he's red he's obviously fire, if
he's blue, he's obviously ice) You then take your Boomerang, and light it with
the element of the OPPOSITE element that Fraaz is, and release it. He's then
stunned - rush up to him and deal some sword slashes. Repeat the process one
more to finish part one of this fight.
For part two, he splits up into two forms - one is fire, one is ice. You can't
tell just by looking, however, if you look at the mini-map at the top of the
screen, the color signifies it's element. Use the ice torch to knock out the
fire one, and the fire torch to knock down the ice one - but it has to be in
one toss. After just one time that you do this, you enter part three, and he
destroys the torches.
He will then float around, again, with either an ice element, or a fire
element. He will spew out either an ice ball, or a fire ball, and it will
remain on the floor. Be sure to dodge it, but then wait for him to switch
elements. When he does, use your Boomerang to use the ice or fire remains on
the ground as a makeshift torch, then use it on Fraaz. He'll be stunned - rush
up and slash him. Do this once or twice more, and he'll enter part four.
Part four is nearly the same as part three - the Fraazs will spew out either
fire balls, or ice balls, and you need to use your Boomerang to hit the
opposite of each Fraaz. After just one hit, he enters the fourth, as well as
final stage.
This time around, it's the same as part three - he spews fireballs and ice
balls and you need to hit him with the opposite, but it's harder around. He
may stay the same element two rounds in a row, and now, you have to hit him
TWICE with the element to stun him. If you can even get him stunned, he snaps
back to normal awfully quick, so make sure to rush him with your sword quick.
You just need to do it two or three times though. Don't be ashamed to use any
of the pots around the stage or use an emergency red potion - the fight is
rather tough. Once he's down, however, the boss fight is over, no more
stages.
---
After he dies, you'll experience some cut-scenes - Spirit Tower slowly getting
a little more repaired, the Spirit Tracks being repaired a bit, the temple
returns to normal, same old, same old. Once the cutscenes finish, grab your
Heart Container, and you can exit the temple!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ah, here we have another large amount of Errands we can perform before we
head out. One of the first things I'd like to do would be to get a new
weapon. But first off, make sure you have 500 rupees. If so, then when you
exit the temple, you may notice the icon of a man roaming around the map.
Get near him, and pull your whistle. He's in a hot air balloon, so he'll
slowly lower down. Just wait for him, and stop near him to enter his shop.

-
You may remember a crack that required a bomb to destroy back in Anouki.
Well, head there, it's just to the right of the village chief's house. Place
a bomb near the crack, and let it explode, then enter.
Inside is a quick little ice puzzle. You have to cross to the other side to
reach the treasure chest. The order to push the block is: west, north, east,
north, east, north, east, south, east, south, west, north. You can then hop
across the gap like stepping stones, and open the treasure chest for a
[Big Red Rupee]. Two-hundred rupees, not bad.
But before you leave, we're not done. Head to the lake, and look out for the
ice torch. Use the Boomerang to make an ice bridge down to the land mass
containing a treasure chest. Open it for a [Big Green Rupee]. Nice, nice.
-
But now we're done for real. Start heading back down to the Forest Realm.
Head to the Forest Temple. No joke, we're going to catch a few rabbits. Feel
to stop by Rabbitland Rescue to drop off some rabbits, but right after you
pass Rabbitland, speak of the devil - a rabbit to your right. Also when you
head to the Forest Temple, look to your right.

| HEART CONTAINER |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| If you go to the building in the southeast corner of Castle Town, you'll |
| stumble upon a mini-game building. In there, if you pay 50 rupees, you can |
| play the mini-game, 'Take 'Em All Out'. If you fully complete the first |

+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| If you head toward the training room in Hyrule Castle (in the first room |

| play a training mini-game. If you can hit the soldiers 60 times without |

| a reward. Note that this is not an easy task and will take some dedication.|
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Once you're done, hopefully with two extra Heart Containers in hand, and
you're ready to venture to the Tower of Spirits once more. Head out to the
nearby Tower of Spirits.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/\ /\
/__\ Tower of Spirits (Vist III) /__\
/_\/_\ IIIp. /_\/_\
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talk to Anjean, and she'll congratulate you on restoring the second set of
Spirit Tracks. She'll also point out that your next destination is the Ocean
Realm. So head up the stairs of the Tower of Spirits. The spiraling stairs
have been extended even further this time around.
Starting on floor eight, Zelda will point out that the floor is dark and
you can't see. Head north, then use the fire on the torch to light the empty
torch with your Boomerang. Continue trekking west, lighting up the torches on
your way - until you reach a sideways T-split. Head north, until you come
upon a bomb flower tucked away in an alcove to your right. Take the bomb,
then head out of the alcove, then north, and drop the bomb between the two
pre-lit torches. This will reveal an opening - head inside to discover a
valuable [Collection Item]. Once you've done that, head south now, past the
west end of the T-split. Continue making your way down, and eventually east
using the torches - making sure to watch out for the ghosts that lurk in the
darkness.
You can check for hidden things among the walls by slashing it with your
sword - the spark will create a split second light-source. If you check the
northern wall in between the unreadable stone tablet, and the first torch to
it's right, you'll find a crack in the wall. Place a bomb from your Bomb Bag
near it to blow open a hidden entrance! Inside, is a similar secret room,
open the golden treasure chest to find another valuable [Collection Item].
That is all the hidden treasure to my knowledge on this floor, so head
east after doing so, then up the stairs to floor nine.
-
The ninth floor has the same concept, a dark room, but it's more dangerous
this time around. Start by lighting the put-out torch to your west, and cross
over. There's a second torch even more to your west, but there's a large gap
between them, so you'll need to wait for the ghosts to cross, then stand in
the middle, and light the next torch. Watch out, however. After the second
torch is a gaping hole. So instead, head north, into the safe zone. Light
up the nearby torches, as well.
Head north, then into the safe zone to your left. We're going to head over to
obtain the first Tear of Light, so wait for the phantoms to be fairly out of
the way, then head east. Keep going until you hit a wall, then continue
going clockwise until you hit the [Tear of Light #1]. However, that's not
all. Head a little to the east, the north to find a lone torch. Blow it out
with your Whirlwind to reveal a crack (that was what the inscription on the
stone was telling you). Then, plant a bomb there (you can grow grab a bomb
from the Bomb Flower in the previous safe zone if you don't have your bomb
bag yet) and the crack will reveal a secret room. Enter for the [Tear of Light
#2]. That was the one that was missing on the mini-map!
The final tear is fairly easy - head west from the bomb flower safe zone.
There are no phantoms - your main worry are the ghosts. Just follow the
simple path down, then west - then go into the mini safe-zone for your [Tear
of Light #3]. Now go back, and just slash one of the phantoms in it's back to
take it over. You can now cross the gap a lot easier with a Torch Phantom -
the reason being that it cannot fall off, meaning you can use it as a safety
dummy to cross the darkened bridge.
Do just that, but if you have trouble doing that, just head eight square
blocks west, eight blocks north, eight more blocks west, then finally, three
more blocks south to find your way through. When you're on solid land, just
head west, and then have your phantom light the two unlit torches to open the
door out. Continue to the eleventh floor.
-
Head to your right, and you'll notice a switch. Pressing it doesn't do
anything, however, you need to find it's partner switch. Have Zelda just
hug the north wall to your right and you'll eventually find the second switch.
Step on it with Zelda to activate the door by Link. There's nothing else of
interest in this area, so head on through.
Head north, carefully, using your phantom for light, and then when you hit
the wall, head west. Follow the U-shaped path, until you come upon a treasure
chest. Open it for a [Collection Item]. Now, head back down the way you
came, still using your phantom, and head west, ignoring the boss door for
now. Head south when you hit the west wall, and you'll come upon a red door
guarding the boss key. Draw a capital, English, Times New Roman, 'Z' on the
red door once prompted to, and it will open the door for you.
The boss key has some sort of trap on it that prevents Link from picking it
up, however, Zelda can pick it up. Unfortunately, when you pick it up, some
dark hands appear from the ground, and are ready to guard you. You cannot
defeat them, since they just respawn - so you're going to have to trudge
through. Have Zelda slowly bring the key up to the boss key while Link fends
off the incoming hands. If it helps you, the lights have been restored.
Not much to say in particular, it's more of an action sequence that this guide
can't help much with. It is, however, a lot easier than the rather tense
music and drawn-out introduction cut-scene lead to be. When you've inserted
the key into the door, the hands dissapear, and head up to the boss room.
Also be aware that unlike normal dungeons - there is no 'refreshing' room to
prepare you before hand.
+-*-*-*-*-*-*-+
| Mini-Boss |
+-------------+
Your enemy will be sort of an upgraded Geozard - now he's wearing red armor,
and has recieved some new upgrades as well. He can now leap across the screen
whenever you're taking to long to strike, and he can also breath spread out,
long-distance fireballs from time to time. You can avoid these fairly easily
by staying behind either your phantom (it acts as a shield) or Geozard
himself (he spews from his mouth). Also be aware of the new field lay-out -
there are four, large square gaps in the middle of the floor, so large, that
the layout's pretty much a gigantic plus sign. This makes it harder to
navigate to Geozard's back.
But the general idea is the same - have Zelda engage in some sword combat with
Geozard, then rush up and slash him. You can also try to get in multiple
slashes if you're a quick enough tapper. After around ten or so successful
back slashes, Geozard dies. Fairly easy battle, since he didn't get much of
an upgrade since the first version. There are a few pots scattered around the
arena if you need to refresh yourself.
---
The mini-boss is luckily the final floor. Grab the treasure chest containing
a [Collection Item], then head up the stairs to the twelfth, and final, floor
of the Tower of Spirits.
-
A quick talking to from Zelda, and you can go up and grab the [Ocean Rail
Map], which adds a new quadrant to your map, and adds some new tracks as well.
You can take the blue portal out, and you'll end up back in the lobby of the
Tower of Spirits. Talk to Anjean, and then depart!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/\ /\
/__\ Trading Post /__\
/_\/_\ IIIr. /_\/_\
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Like always when you're in the Hyrule Castle area, watch out for the dark
trains, and also watch out for any typical obstructions, like boars. Head
south to the end of the map, and out to the Ocean Realm. But right around the
last turn of the Forest Realm, is a station. Slow down and stop at an area
called Trading Post.
Ah-ha, and if you start to head east from the station, Zelda will point out
the mess that is a bridge. Looks like this stop is mandantory, dear readers.
Anyways, continue south, and you'll end up at a house. Enter the house, and
you'll notice a rather rude guy. But it turns out his name is Linebeck III!
Is the name familiar to you?
He requests that you fetch a bridge worker from all the way at the Snow
Realm to come and fix the bridge. Well, the cave to your left is blocked out,
and there's no way to cross the bridge, so unfortuneatly, we have to do what
he says. Exit the Trading Post, and head north to the Tower of Spirits, be
careful of the usual obstructions. Talk to Anjean, then head on to the Snow
Realm. You'll soon come upon the Bridge Builder's House.
-
The Bridge Builder's House area is fairly empty. Just ignore, or defeat if
you want to, the enemies, and head up to this house. Except, before you
head in, head east from his house until you see four oddly shaped boulders.
Destroy them, and then head to the center if where they were located - and
play the Song of Discovery. This will reveal a chest containing a [Big Green
Rupee].
That's about all that's located here - so go up to the house and talk to the
Bridge Builder. He's a pretty nice guy, and willing to help, but he's pretty
picky when it comes to the train ride. You have to make sure that you:
whistle on the yellow signs, slow down on the one arrow signs, and speed up
on the dual arrow signs. You also cannot get hit on the way, and obviously,
you can't get into a crash with any dark trains. The main battle here are the
trains without using the emergency brake - which is rather difficult, and
requires a bit of luck. The signs are fairly easy assuming you pay attention
to the road, and you won't encounter more than an enemy or two anyways.
Once you land at Trading Post, enter Linebeck's hut and talk to him real
quick. Then head out and talk to the bridge builder in the northeast corner
of the area, and you'll experience a quick cut-scene involving fees. Head
back to Linebeck's, where he'll enter some kind of compromise - if you can
find the Regal Ring that his grandfather buried somewhere, he'll pay off the
debt using the money. He gives you [Linebeck's Letter] afterwards.

Along with that, the door to Linebeck's grave opens. Enter it, and you'll

as Like-Likes in this cave, and they can eat your shield! You can quickly,
and most safely, kill them by throwing two bombs at them, but if you want to

to activate them. Look for where they cross, and then follow step 2: go 4
steps north, and 6 steps west. The letter is somewhat misleading, however -
steps refers to the dirt block. So pretty much that means go to the north-
west most block, then head one step right. Once on that block, play the Song
of Discovery. If you don't own it, you'll have to go back to Anouki Village to
learn it. Once done, a treasure chest containing the Regal Ring appears.
A word of warning: do NOT get the treasure chest up north. It's a Like-Like in
disguise. But when you're done, leave the hide-out, leave the mini-island,
leave the north side of the island, leave the cave, then talk to Linebeck
outside his hut to initiate a cut-scene. The bridge builder will accept the
Regal Ring as payment, and leave.
The bridge is fixed, but as a bonus, you can now use the Trading Post! You
know ALL those treasure pieces (ie, Stalfos' Skull, Goron's Amber) that you
previously owned? Now they come to use here. You can either sell them here
for rupees, or convert them into train parts! Do whatever you want to here,
and it's time to leave.
-
However, if you've been following my guide, you'd know that this was the
tenth stamp you've obtained. Head to Aboda Village if you have been following
and do have ten stamps as of now. Go ahead to Niko's House, and talk to him
to recieve a [SHIELD OF ANTIQUILTY]. Now, head to the Ocean Realm and stop
at your first station!

+----------------------------------+ You can make a quick pitstop to Papuchia

island, which contains a [Collection
Item].
When you're done exploring Papuchia Village, go back to the train station and
depart. Head east, across the bridge, and soon you'll come upon another
station. That's the Ocean Sanctuary - stop at it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There's nothing you can do at the moment to your right, so instead, head left
from the train station. You'll discover a new, crab monster - stun it from
behind with a Boomerang, and then go up behind it and slash it. It's giant
claw protects the front. There's nothing more on land, so continue on into the
cave.
-
Inside, kill the next crab enemy, and follow the path until you come across
the gap. The camera will point out a purple switch on the other side of the
gap, but it's covered by explodable blocks. The problem is, the only bomb
flowers are on this side. So we have to carry them across using a weapon of
some sort. Your first thought would be the Boomerang, but it's too late to
carry it across. This leaves you with your Whirlwind. Place a bomb flower bomb
on to the ground, then blow it across to reveal an opening to the switch.
Send out your Boomerang to hit the switch, and presto, a bridge opens up,
allowing you to cross. Unfortunately, the Whirlwind is NOT as precise as your
Boomerang, so it may take a couple of tries to get right.
Continue following the linear path, and all you'll come upon is an additional
crab. Defeat it, then head back up to land. On the new piece of land, if you
look on the mini-map, you'll see a lot of head statues. Like you do when you
see them most of the time, we want to mark the direction they're facing on
the map. The reason is that you have to copy the symbol created by the
created lines on to the red door in the center of the area.
Well, you don't HAVE to do so, really. Instead, if you want to, I can just
give you the symbol if you want.
/\ /\
/ \ / \
/ \/ \
\ /\ /
\ / \ /
\/ \/
In other words, two adjacent diamonds. An infine symbol, or an '8' lying down
on it's side should also work.
Once you've opened the door - there are but two places of interest, both
collectible items. One is the elevated island, that can be reached by going
to the Cuckoo island in the northeast corner of the area, and heading south.
The other is the island on the northwest corner of the area, and you have to
use the cuckoo to jump to the other side. Both contain [Collection Items].
When completed, enter the cave where Carben is, or rather, supposed to be.
Upon entering you'll notice no Carben, but rather a note. Read it to find out
that he's in Papuchia Village. Leave the cave, then head to the center-east
island and press the switch. This will extend a bridge across the island,
which you can cross to get a shortcut to get back to the station. Depart to
Papuchia.
-
Once back in Papuchia, head to the central-southern island, and you'll
initiate a quick scene involving you spying Carben in the sky. Zelda suggests
you visit the Wise One in the larger hut in the small island just above. Do
so, and talk to the Wise One.
+-----------------------------------+ Talk to her, and she'll prompt you to

learn the SONG OF BIRDS.
You'll get a cut-scene with Carben. After talking to him, he requires you to
bring him to the Ocean Sanctuary, as a passenger. Seems simple enough - just
like you did with the bridge worker, except it's a shorter route. Or at least
it's SUPPOSED to be easier - turns out that on the way, you get ambushed by a
pirate ship! Nothing you can do, just let it land on your train.
-
You'll end up in the cabin of your train - and goblins will be pouring through
the windows. Just attack them as they come in. The numbers will multiply,
however, and once you're near the end with them coming in ten at a time, it's
best to just stay in the middle with Carben and spin attack after spin attack.
Your goal is to protect Carben - if they come too close to Carben for too
long, game over.
After a fair amount of rounds with the goblins, however, all of a sudden, a
gigantic, muscular version of one appears. Mini-boss time!
+-*-*-*-*-*-*-+
| Mini-Boss |
+-------------+
This mini-boss has two objectives: protect Carben, and conquer the enemy.
The monster simply moves forward very slowly, so you have to defeat it
before he can reach Carben. However, his attacks, likewise, are very slow
as well, and he ends up being a fairly easy enemy.
Your goal is to simply slash him (no trick, shield, anything) a few times to
reduce his energy. He'll eventually bring back his club to prepare for a
strike, it's then that you retreat backwards to avoid it. Also be careful -
he occasionally throws in a surprise attack after he finishes the first one,
as well.
You repeat the process until you get a good thirty or so slashes in, then,
the smaller goblin appears. Kill it, then repeat the process until two more
goblins appear. Repeat the process until finally, four more appear. Don't let
the boss distract you from the main goal - protecting Carben. The goblins can
net you a game over if you don't have a good eye on Carben. But luckily,
when you get to four, it means the mini-boss is just about dead, so keep on
slashing until he falls over.
---
After that, Carben thanks you, and requests you head back to the Ocean
Sanctuary. When you land, he'll give you a [Force Gem]! This opens up
additional spirit tracks, very useful. He'll head back up to his cave, you're
going to want to follow him there. Once inside, you have the usual scene.
Talk to him, and he'll request you play a duet with him.
This has posed a problem for MANY players, and has ticked off a lot of
players beyond belief. This is a very difficult song to play - the reason
being that the flute skips a note on the scale. Don't get frustrated - it
personally took me around fifty tries to get it right, and I play a woodwind
instrument in real life.
A few tips that have helped people:
- The skipping note problem can be fixed by sliding real fast through
the yellow note between the two notes. You have to be fast, however,
but if the yellow note plays for only a split second, it shouldn't
count against you.
- What poses a problem is the strange timing - you play earlier and earlier
than him each time you play. You can rely either on the metronome in the
background, or the visual at the top: when the musical notes at the top
light up, it signify's when you're to play.
- Blow properly in the microphone. Unfortunately, for us old DS users, or
DS phat users, if you will, have a poor microphone location - so if you
do have an avaliable DS Lite or DSi, it's probably preferable. Also,
breathe at least five inches away from the microphone - any closer,
and you'll have a hard time. Make sure that you have a steady, yet
gentle blow into the Nintendo DS.
These are about all I can do to help you. Good luck with the Ocean Temple
song, however. But, when you DO finally get the song done and over with,
he'll upgrade your Ocean Realm Rail Map. Like the Lost Woods and blizzard,
though, you can't just wander into the Ocean Temple. You need to follow a
specific path. However, unlike the previous temples which required you to go
on a mini-quest to find the path, he simply hands you a letter. Enclosed in
the letter are the instructions giving three locations on the map - two
islands, then what looks like a dead-end path.
-
+-------------------------------+ Head directly east, all the way to the
| OCEAN RABBIT | marked island on your map. You'll see

+----------------------------------+

hit the marked number one on your map. |----------------------------------|

colors. Now, keep heading out until you +----------------------------------+
hit the area on your map that's marked
with a two. There's nothing else in between the two islands, by the way. On
your right side - you'll notice number two's statue. Pull your whistle near it
to make it change colours.
Continue following the path to the number three marked on your map. Shoot the
statue, and then, at the end of the same path, a fish statue with it's mouth
open will appear. Enter it to head underwater, however illogical it may seem.
Once inside, draw a path to the entrance to the Ocean Temple - pretty much the
only place on the map. The ride will be fairly simple, minus a few Octoroks,
which will squirm around the sea - but they only hinder your vision if you
get attacked, they don't damage you. You may also notice that the mechanics
for your cannon has been changed - instead of a direct shot, now, the
cannon seems to float upwards.
However, the simplicity ends when you near the Ocean Temple - an enemy train
will appear! Switch directions so you loop all the way around the Ocean
Temple rather than directly to it. You've avoided the first train, but soon
after the first turn, a second train will appear. Take whichever path the
second train isn't taking, then you're home-free. Head into the Ocean Temple.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/\ /\
/__\ Ocean Temple /__\
/_\/_\ IIIt. /_\/_\
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you haven't already, you can learn the Song of Healing in the north-
west corner of the entrance. Other than that, leave the station area and enter
the actual temple after a quick talking-to from Zelda.
In the next room, destroy the pots for rupees/hearts if you need them. If you
head up, you'll notice the path splits. Ignore the right side, however,
since there are constantly flowing boulders preventing you from passing. In
the next room are electric Chus - hit them with your Boomerang to stun them,
then slash them to destroy them. You can ignore the puzzle hints for now,
I'll help you out with those later, then head through the path into the
arrow room.
You can either run through, or block the arrows. If you stay near the bottom,
you can avoid all the spewing arrows. However, if you have the shield, and
keep your front turned towards the arrows, you can just block the spewing
arrows. Either way, it doesn't matter - cross the arrow room, then head up
the stairs in the next room.
If you look to your left, you'll see a crack in the wall. You can blow it up
with your bomb, but looking further into it, you'll notice all it leads is to
a gap that you can't quite cross at this moment. So instead, head south towards
the brown, moving block. Step on it, and it'll transport you to the other side,
but be aware that there are shooting arrow traps. Just stand with your shield
facing north, and it should deflect them for you.
Heading south some more, you'll come across another moving block. Step on it,
and you'll come across a set of four purple switches. You have to hit them in
the correct order:
3
1 2
4
Once done, the wall to your east will open. Note that the arrows won't shoot
when you come near them, but rather if you hit the switches in the incorrect
order. Once you land, head through the switch, and you'll see some boulders.
You'll see a lone switch as well. Hitting in will make the gap in front
come down, but at the same time, will make the gap in the south open. Why
would you do that, you may ask? Remember the boulders on the first floor?
This area is where they were coming from. If you switch the gaps around, the
boulders will now simply land into the gap. However, if you just hit it with
your sword, you won't be able to go back, so instead, go back around to where
the door was, and use your Boomerang to hit the switch. Then, you can head
back through the moving blocks back to floor one.
-
Back on floor one, head through to the split where the boulders once were,
and the floor is now clear, despite the strange looking boulder falling
animation. To your south is another gap with the strange looking things you
can't use yet, and on the other side are some thorns you can't cross yet as
well. Instead, head north to floor two once more. To the south are ANOTHER
set of branches you can't quite cross. Head towards the stairs to go to floor
three. Once there, you'll notice a large group of around six or seven pots
which you may want to consider breaking. You're only other direction is into
what looks like a huge arena, or mini-boss room, so might as well enter it.
+-*-*-*-*-*-*-+
| Mini-Boss |
+-------------+
This mini-boss is surprisngly easy. You start out in grasp of his whip
weapon - wait for him to pull you in, then once he does, release the spin
slashes on him, and you'll be set free. Now free, just rush towards him and
do some more spin slashes, ignoring his whip, and he'll die. Awfully simple
battle.

-
Go up to the thorns, and use your whip to pick off the thorns. Once you've
done so, head through to the treasure chest and pick up a [Collection Item].
Go south and cross the branch with your whip, leading back to the entrance.
Grab on to the branch to your left now, bringing you to a statue with a golden
tounge. Step back, and aim your whip at the tounge to drag it back, revealing
a treasure chest all the way near the second floor entrance. Cross the
branch, head through the stone tablet room, through the arrow trap room,
careful not to get hit, and open it for a [Collection Item]. Back-track all
the way back to the second floor, then up to the third floor.

bridge, and head down the
stairs, back to the third floor. Once down, head west to see two fish
statues - one with a tounge, the other without. However, pulling the tounge
rips out a sword, still attatched to your whip. Aim your whip in the direction
of the right fish, to have it land in it's mouth. Doing so will do two things:
make a treasure chest appear, and two, make a branch appear, giving you a
shortcut back to the central room of the third floor.
Open the treasure chest for a [Small Key]. Head north and cross the gap with
your whip. If you look to your right, you'll see a moving block, and a
branch. Wait for the moving block to be in position, using your mini-map to
do so, then cross the branch. Use the moving block to carry you over to a
treasure chest containing a [Collection Item]. Head back to the other side,
over to the locked door. With your new small key, open the door and head up
the stairs.
-
On floor four, you can look to your left to find a statue with a golden
tounge. Use your whip to pull it, which opens a shortcut back to the other
section of the fourth floor. Go back and cross the three branches, into a
trap room. Two Red Chus with helmets appear. Use your whip to take off the
helmet, then fling it back at them for an easy kill. Repeat it for the second
one, which causes the door blocking entrance to the fifth floor to open back
up, so enter it.
-
You're now on to what judging by the mini-map looks like an awfully
complicated room. However, we're going to ignore all the junk in here for the
time being, and instead, head towards the center room to encounter two of the
mini-bosses with whips you faced earlier, which is pretty surprising
considered that these enemies were considered mini-bosses not too long ago.
Use your whip to stun it, then go up and hit them a few times. Repeat the
process once to kill one of them, then do the same with the other enemy.
Ignore everything else on the floor, and instead, head down the path to your
right. At the end, pull the gold tounge to make a flying object appear. You
can latch on to it by targeting it with your whip. However, you can STAY
latched on to it by keeping your stylus on the screen while targeting it. Let
it carry you over to a new section of land, leading you to the sixth floor.
-
On the sixth floor, you'll only be able to head to a trap room with gray
Chus. These chus are electrical as well, but apparently too tough to be
affected by your measely Boomerang, Whirlwind, or Whip. So use your whip to
grab the conviently placed sword inside the fish statue and toss it at the
gray chus to destroy them. Once done, this will create a branch which will
come in handy for later. Head back to floor five.
-
Once on there, latch on to the golden tounge to create a flying machine, then
latch on to the machine down to the west wing. Use your whip to grab and pull
out the swords, then just toss them off the edge, or get rid of them, or
anything. Once all the swords are out of the mouths, a bunch of branches will
appear back near the entrance at the northern end of the room. Head over to
them, and swing across all five or six branches to a section of land with a
set of stairs - head up them.
-
Back on the sixth floor, head through the five or six branches using your
whip. However, the second to last one is missing, but to make up for it, the
last branch is below, allowing you to grab it if you wait for you to fall down
just a bit. In other words, just pause a bit after the second to last
branch. To fix this problem, on the other side is a purple switch, which
creates a branch between the two, making all future swings to here easier,
and allowing you to head back in that direction if you need to.
Heading south, head towards the lower center area of the floor. You can head
either left or right, but let's start by heading right. Go across the narrow
floor, destroying the gray chu with a sword nearby if you need to. Head to the
end, then cross the gap with a branch and whip, and open the treasure chest
for a [Small Key].
Head back the way you came, go left where you'll encounter a thorny arch.
Pick off the thorns, then head through where you'll come across a gold
tounge. Pull it to reveal a treasure chest, which in the room nearby, contains
a [Collection Item]. Head back to the area where there are five branches,
and cross them all back, and head down the stairs.
-
On this floor, you may remember a tablet that said on the sixth floor that
all the statues with swords in them must be rearranged in the same manner that
the sixth floor had it. Let's go ahead and do that. There are four corners:
NE, NW, SE, and SW.
Northwest Northeast
--------- ---------
O O X O X O O X O X
Southwest Southeast
--------- ---------
O O O X O X
Once doing so, a door in southeast corner opens! Head south, and open the
previously locked door with your Small Key you got a few paragraphs ago. Swing
across the branch with your whip, then head up the stairs. Once on the sixth
floor, open up the flying machine and latch on it. As it flies around, wait
for when the moving block moves below you, then drop off. Let the block take
you to the island with a boss key. Press the switch which creates a bridge
to the other side first, then pick up the [Boss Key].
However, like the other times, it's not that simple - four purple hands
appear to guard. Try to bring it across to the other side, and note that once
you go up the stairs, the purple hands can't follow you past the stairs. I
actually found it easier to let them take the key the first time, then bring
it up the second time. There's a delay the first time you try to bring it
across because of the cut-scene. Once done, drop the key into the [Boss Door].
Head up to the final floor!
On floor seven, swing across the branches, and destroy the pots if you need
to. There's a tablet that allows you to warp back if for some reason you'd
need to, but when you're ready to face the boss, rip off the thorns with your
whip and head into the boss area.
O==============O
| BOSS |
+------O==============O------+
| PHYTOPS, BARBED MENACE |
+----------------------------+
Perhaps it is just me, but I found this fight to be considerably easier than
the Snow Temple's boss. But anyways, you have to actually get to Phytops
before you can begin - you come out at the bottom of a pillar, and have to
climb up through the spiraling path up to Phytops.
Follow the path, and use your whip to go across the branch. Be careful, as
the boss will release a poisonous liquid from above, so dodge it, then
head to the end of the path. You can't quite just swing across this part
though, Phytops has sent a thorny tentacle to block you. Use your whip to
extract a thorn from the vine, then throw it into the eye. It'll cry, then
retreat up, so you can continue your journey forwards. You'll come across
a second viny-tentacle, so repeat what you did earlier, until you come across
a golden tongue. Pull it to activate a flying machine, and latch and grab on
to it (keep the stylus held on the screen when you aim your whip at it) to
experience a pretty cool cut-scene, where you'll drop on to the arena so the
fight can actually begin.
The battle begins with him spewing out more poison liquids (avoid the remains
on the ground - they damage you) and then slam down two vine-covered
tentacles to block you from moving too much. Use your whip to take off a
thorn, then aim it at one of the purple clouds on his head, or at least the
central part of it's body - honestly I can't tell what exactly it is.
Do the same with the second tentacle, throw a thorn at it's head, destroying
one of the clouds. If you take out the center two purple clouds, it will
reveal his eye. Take one last thorn and aim it at it's eye, and it will
fall over to one side of the arena, stunned. Go over to it and slash it
repeatedly until it snaps back.
After that, Phytops will stick it's head underwater, and take out four vines.
The first two will go on either side of you, while the back two are slamming
down on you trying to hit you. Just avoid them, go to the right to avoid the
left vine, and to the left to avoid the right vine - Phytops alternates it's
vine strikes. Once done, the battle will return to the phase which you were
just in earlier - he'll put two vines on either side of you, and you need to
destroy the purple clouds at his head, then aim at his eye, then slash him
while he's down.
For the final phase, he'll repeat what he did earlier - four tentacles, then
he'll pop back up with his head. This time around, however, he'll have his
back vine-tentacles up while his head is up as well, so you'll need to avoid
those, but it's basically the same as before - get rid of the purple clouds
blocking his eye, toss a vine at his eye, then slash him. Once this is done,
he finally dies.
---
After the typical cut-scene, grab the typical Heart Container, and head out
the typical blue light, bringing you to the typical station of the temple.
Head out of the station, and fortunately, instead of making you drive through
the underwater section, it brings you right out of the mouth of the fish
statue above land.

Once the rabbits are obtained, or if you decided not to, not obtained, head
to the Ocean Sanctuary.
-
If you look on your mini-map, you may spot a north island. Stand at the end
of the main island, facing said island, and play your Song of Birds. This
will attract a bird with a pole that can be latched on to with your whip -
grab on to it and let it carry you to the island. Open the treasure for a
[Collection Item], then play the Song of Birds once more to get the bird to
come to you again. Grab on to it, and let it take you back to the main island.

-
Once in Papuchia, take a look at the southeastern most island. Head to the
accessible section of land just north of it, and play the Song of Birds
to summon a bird. Grab on to it with your snake whip, and let it transport
you down to the island. Head south to the next screen.
Once in, head to the southern part of the long, skinny island, and call a bird
with the Song of Birds to transport you to the center island. Head north
through the center island, defeating the crab enemies by using the whip to
take off their weapon and tossing it back at them, to the treasure chest
containing a [Big Green Rupee]. Continue by going to the southwestern
end of the center island and calling another bird. Ignore the first one that
comes from the east, and instead latch on to the one that comes from the
north. Let it take you to the sandy island, loop back around to the center
island, then eventually to the central western island. Open the treasure
chest on that island for a [Collection Item].

Once in Whittleton, head to the second map. Follow the path until you come
across the first gap, then use your whip to cross it. Head west, killing
the mole enemy, then pop open the chest for a [Collection Item]. Back-track
across the gap, to the southern gap. Continue through the path north,
until you come across not a treasure, but rather a man!
Talk to him, and he'll introduce himself to you, and offer you a fun
mini-game called the Whip Race. You can find more information in the mini-game
section, but you can grab some valuable rewards with this game. Perhaps it
was just me, but I found the mini-game fairly easy, and after just a few
tries I was able to get all the possible prizes.

+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Once done, you can exit the village, and we're going to go do some chores in
the Snow Realm. Remember when you got the Force Shard from Carben, a small
section of track opened? Take that to the Snow Realm. You'll end up by
Wellspring Station, stop there.
-
In Wellspring, head up the west hills to the northern most part, defeating
the snow wolves in your path. Take out your whip, and swing across the three
branches to the elevated land behind the lone hut. Inside the treasure chest
is a [Big Green Rupee].
You can also grab a whole lot of bunnies by looking at the box below.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| SNOW BUNNIES |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| There are several rabbits in the maze-like area between the Snow Temple |
| and the rest of the Snow Realm. Instead of giving confusing directions |

Once that is done, head to the Snow Sanctuary. If you have 2,000 rupees,
purchase a Heart Container. To get these easily, you can sell spare treasures
you have at Linebeck's Trading Post, but if you've been fully following this
guide, you shouldn't be too low on rupees, anyways.
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| HEART CONTAINER |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Buy the heart container at the Anouki General Store located in the Snow |

+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
After doing so, just head a little south to the Forest Realm, and enter
Rabbitland Rescue. Talk to the rabbit there, and if you have five or more
rabbits, he'll reward you with a [HEART CONTAINER].
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| HEART CONTAINER |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Talk to the manager of Rabbitland Rescue with five or more rabbits on your |

+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Also at Rabbitland Rescue, head towards the top of the bridge over the water.
Though you can't quite jump over the bridge, you can jump over the little
corner section of land to it's right. Jump south on to the island with a
treasure chest containing a [Collection Item]. You may now leave - head to
Castle Town.

So that's about all we can do for right now. Head to the Tower of Spirits
for your fourth visit ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/\ /\
/__\ Tower of Spirits (Visit IV) /__\
/_\/_\ IIIv. /_\/_\
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talk to Anjean, and - you know the drill - head up the now longer spiral
stairs. You'll end up on floor thirteen. Looking on the mini-map, you may
also spot strange, eye-ball like creatures known as Phantom Eyes. They do
not harm you, but rather alert the cooperating blue-green armor coated
phantoms to teleport to where they catch you. You can kill them by stunning
them, first.
Looking on the mini-map, you can see a tear of light not too far from
you. Wait for the phantom to pass through, then head to the safe zone and
get the [Tear of Light #1]. While you're in that south-east area of the
map, you may a notice a lit torch on the left side of the U-shaped wall
that you are inside of. Go to the middle of the bottom of the U-shaped wall,
and toss your Boomerang from one torch, to the other unlit one. This will
create a treasure chest up ahead. Make sure, of course, that the phantom is
far away.
Now head to the northeast corner, and you'll notice an elevated, capital 'I'
shaped platform. On the right alcove of the 'I' platform is a safe zone
and switch - slashing it will construct a bridge in the southwest corner.
On the right alcove of the platform is a treasure chest (or at least there
should be one, if you followed the last paragraph's instructions). Open it
for a [Small Key].
Head on top of the 'I' formation by heading up the stairs implanted into
the lower base of the structure. You'll notice three fish heads - the middle
one wielding a golden tipped-sword in it's mouth. Place the sword out of the
center one and into the right with your whip. Do NOT place it in the left
one, like me, and end up having a new phantom as a gift. Upon doing so, a
treasure chest appears somewhere else in the area.
You'll notice two branches to the west - swing across them, careful to
avoid the phantom eyes, as they can sense you vertically as well as
horizontally. Keep following the path of the platform until you end up
at another branch - swing across, head south, and across the next two
branches. Be careful - as this area is very sensitive to phantom eye
scouting. Finally, head west, then across the north branch, into a secret
room encovered by the walls - for your [Tear of Light #2]. Swing back out
the way you came.
Backtrack all the way to the southeast corner, aware of the phantom, and
open the door. You can't do anything with the switch quite yet, but might as
well not confuse you with the abundance of small keys. You can then head up
the nearby stairs to cross the bridge, with a treasure chest containing
your second small key. Head back all the way to the northeast corner, open
the door, and head up the stairs to floor fourteen - can't do anything else
here for now.
-
In here, the only place you can cross is the safe zone, so head that
direction. Up ahead is a phantom eye - hit it with your Boomerang to stun it,
then kill it. Continue north into the little square-shaped area, and kill
the phantom eye. You'll notice a stationary phantom guarding the last Tear
of Light. You gotta distract it. Take out your Boomerang, and have it hit
a wall on the opposite side that you're standing on. The phantom'll warp
there, then you take the oppertunity to rush into the safe zone and grab
the [Tear of Light #3]. When he warps back, slash him, tap him, and gain
access to a Warp Phantom.
Zelda tells you that you can now warp to any phantom eye on the floor -
all you have to do is to draw your motion line to the eye, and you'll do it
automatically. Do it to the eye trapped inside the door with a treasure
chest. Zelda may not be able to grab the treasure, but she CAN open the switch
to open the door to let Link grab the treasure. Do so, and with Link, grab
the [Collection Item] inside the room. Head back to floor thirteen, now more
properly armed.
-
Although you may think about the phantom eye in the locked up room, we're
not going to teleport to it quite yet. Instead, head back to the 'I' shaped
formation, and then send Zelda right in front of anywhere where there is not
a ledge (the top right corner or bottom base of the formation). Have Link
jump on, then head back to the fat, 'U' formation. Go to the bottom of it
when the coast is clear, then hop on top and grab the treasure chest for a
[Collection Item]. Likewise, head to the gap on the eastern-most wall of the
room, and take out your whip. Latch on and swing across the branch to the
treasure chest. Open it for a second [Collection Item]. You can swing back
across, but note that you won't end up on the phantom's back.
Now, have Link head to the purple switch area, and have Zelda teleport to
the narrow, north-western room where the phantom eye is. Kill it, then head
to the purple switch in that room. Have them simutaneously hit the switches,
then head into the newly opened room, up to floor fourteen.
-
Send Zelda in front of you - as there are gray Chus up ahead. Let her kill
the two, then go up to the sandy area. Zelda's too heavy to cross it,
however, Link can. Have Link go to the other side and step on the nearby
switch, then have Zelda step on the switch on her side. This creates a
bridge. Have Zelda go across it.
Once done, you'll see some spikes. Have Zelda cross it and go on the
red warp portal in the northeast corner in the room. Have Link follows the
horse-show curve to the right side, and stand on the warp portal as well.
The two will switch places. Have Link head to the other side of the small
room, and use the whip to take out the sword from one fish, and insert it
into the other fish's mouth. This will open the door. Call Zelda and both
head to floor fifteen.
-
Floor fifteen is a little complicated. Start off by directing Zelda across
the east side's spikes, to the southern-most hallway, on to the warp portal.
Have Link head down to the southeast corner of the room and stand on the
blue warp tile. Have Link then run up all the way to the top, past the
sand bed, and watching out for any gray chus along the way. Head into the
next room, and move the block on to any of the nearby switches - preferably
the east one, but again, doesn't matter. Then have Zelda go to the north
side of the room, and stand on the warp tile. Have Link do the same. Once
done, have Zelda stand on the switch you didn't place the block in,
opening up the spikes, allowing Link to re-unite with Zelda. A-ha, makes
sense now, doesn't it?
Have both Link and Zelda meet up at the large door in the northeast corner,
and have both of them push it. Open it for a room with some spare pots, and
a treasure chest containing a [Small Key]. Once this is done, have both
characters head back to the center of the room. Link can just jump off
the edge in the southwestern end of the switch room, and Zelda can just
teleport out via phantom eye. Now have Zelda warp to the far west phantom
eye, and keep following the path until you come across sand. You can fix
this sand problem by having Link head to the western-central hallway to the
gap, then using his Boomerang to hit the purple switch, thus erecting a
bridge.
Have Zelda go south, past the boulders and spike traps, into the south-
western most hallway. Head to the eastern end of the hallway on to the
warp, and have Link stand on the mirror warp in the central room. They
will switch places - but Link can't go much further due to the spike trap.
Have Zelda warp back to Link's area via phantom eye, and head across the
sand bridge, and down into the spike trap in front of Link. Head east into
the alcove containing a lone switch, and step on it, lowering the traps and
allowing Link to venture further. However, this doesn't last long - as now
the only way out is through an ever-streaming pile of boulders. Again,
never fear. Have Zelda continuously push the boulders forward, and have
Link cross through behind Zelda.
Once done, you're encounter a pretty brain-racking conundrum. Well, first
off, you can start by simutaneously pressing the switches to the right of
the spike traps to create a quick exit. Up ahead, you'll see a sand with
two switch pushes required - but there's no way to make a bridge! Well, to
get Zelda across, stun the phantom eye with your Boomerang, then use your
Whirlwind to blow it across to the other side where the two switches are.
Nifty, eh?
Nevertheless - press down the two switches, and the in the central room
opens. Zelda can teleport to the phantom eye guarding the door, and Link
can run across the bridge you made a minute or two ago. Unlock the door
with the small key you got in the first three paragraphs, and you're good
to go! Head up to floor sixteen ...
-
Once on the seventeenth floor, warp to the western room. In the center is
a large amount of blocks arranged in the square - with a green block in the
top left corner, and a red in the bottom right. Your goal is to mimic the
path of the phantom on the west side. To do so, you just (starting from the
red block) head right, staying on the top layer, then diagonol-left to the
bottom tile, then up (but not all the way to the top layer) then finally,
diagonol-right to the original red tile. Note that it does not have to be
perfect, but if you got the basic movement correct, the door will open in
the center room where Link is. Have Link and Zelda join up, then head up
to floor eighteen.
-
Turns out that was the final floor! After doing so, you go ahead and pick
up the Fire Realm Rail Map piece, but instead of the typical procedure, you
are treated with a pretty intensive cut-scene. I'm afraid I won't spoil
you, but eventually you'll wind back up in the tower lobby anyways. You can
either head to the next section of this guide, or you can continue on, where
I can give you some neat treasure that could've been obtained when you got
the Bomb Bag. I recommend doing so, as it gives you around 2,650 rupees
in treasure, but if you don't feel up to it, there's nothing story-halting
that can be gained here.
-
If you want to go ahead and gain some extra treasure, head to the first floor,
or the first door on the spiral. Inside, go ahead and simply grab the
Tear of Light from the western alcove, then head north and grab the phantom,
being careful of the phantom. But then, before you leave past the first
safe zone up north, head between the first and second safezones in the
northern area, and go up to the gap to the west. Use your Boomerang to hit
the purple switch on the gap to the west, and a treasure chest will
appear in the northern alcove. Inside is a [Collection Item]. I believe that
each time you open it is a 500 rupee-worth item, correct me via E-Mail if
I am wrong, please.
Nothing more on the first floor, so get the third tear of light, and
capture the phantom. Have both of our good old protaganists head up to
floor two. Here, head east, then north, then west. A quick dialogue from
Zelda, and then have her stand in front of the gap. Then, use Link to use
the Whirlwind to blow her past the hole, on to the other side. (I'm surprised
she's that light). After that, have her press the switch, allowing Link to
cross and grab the [Collection Item]. After that, have Zelda drop off the
ledge, and have Link jump on to Zelda's shield. Lead Zelda just a little
south to another ledge with a treasure, and have Link jump off, and grab
the next treasure chest, also containing a [Collection Item]. I believe
both contain 500 rupees as well, although I'm not entirely sure.
Once done with this section, you can just finish up what little remaining of
this area and leave, and then, head up the spiraling staircase to floor
four!
-
On floor four, just grab the three Tears of Light (the first one requires
you to Whirlwind it across and grab it; the other two are self-explantory),
grab a phantom, hop on the phantom and ride it across the lava, then head
up to the fifth floor. Go across the first big area of lava, as usual, but
remember the second? Head on to the second pool of lava on the fifth floor,
and head on to the mini-island. Use your Boomerang to hit the purple
switch, thus opening the door - revealing a large amount of area previously
judged unreachable. A-ha, see what we can do now?
Now, you'll see two narrow pathways, with three, infinitely blowing-fire
statues. You'll have the phantom go on the north path, and Link on the
south path. Have Zelda block the first fire, and have Link dash through.
You can both cleanly go through the second fire - it's above you, it's just
hard to see with the angle you're playing in. Have Zelda block the third
statue as well, and cross. Then, follow the path to the fourth floor.
There, you have another puzzle - there are two unlit torches, however, no
lit ones. Have Zelda stand on one side of the gap, and have Link use his
Whirlwind to blow her across to the other side. Have her stand on the switch
to light up a torch, then use your Boomerang to light the other - opening a
bridge to the other side. However, it turns out that Link can't cross the
next area - firey floor.
Along with that, there are crackable brown blocks blocking the fire-stop
switch. So what you have to do is to take a bomb out of your Bomb Bag, tap
the phantom to give it to her, then have Zelda run over to the blocks, and
drop them. Once done, Zelda can cross over and step on the switch, to where
Link can cross and open the chest. Inside is a treasure item worth 500
rupees. Head back to floor five.
On the fifth floor, head ALL the way north to the north wall. By the right
side of the fire statues is a crack - blow open an entrance to a secret
room with your bomb. Inside is a 500 rupee-worth [Collection Item]. Make your
way past the narrow passageway, and hop on Zelda, then travel to the sixth
floor.
On there, there are two Geozards! If you waited until after the Ocean Temple
like I advised you to, you can just use the whip to take off their shields,
then unleash a fury of slashes on them to kill them both in around four to
six seconds. If not, you're going to have to go old-school - and it's even
harder with two. Distract them with Zelda, then slash their backs. Once
done, a WHOLE treasure room opens up. Three 50-rupee worth treasure pieces,
and one 500-rupee worth treasure piece. Awesome.
You're now done with the temple for now, you've explored every avaliable
possible nook and cranny, so you can leave now, if you want. You can go
back down the way you came, finish up the rest of the level, or even
save and quit to get back down to the bottom of the tower. Nevertheless,
board the train, and head up to Goron Village.

Take the train up to the Snow Realm, we're going to be heading to the north-
eastern quadrant of the world map. Note that there are two station icons
on the map - one a black rock, the other a mountainous icon just east of it.
You'll want to head to the eastern icon. Be careful of falling rocks on
the trip, as well.

just head west, up the stairs, to the
next map, passing the two or three Gorons on the way there.
On the next map, go up the first set of steps, past the Goron, and past the
decieving boxes to find a [Collection Item] within a treasure chest. Once
done, head back and follow the lower ground's path west. You'll come across
some rolling boulders. You'll have to run towards the right end of the
snaking path, where the boulders don't quite reach. Once the boulders
cleared, do so, and then do the same once more, except this time the
safe spot is one the left. Continue trekking westwards and you'll find the
same thing, except the snaking path is in the opposite direction.

If you want another piece of treasure before we leave, stay on the top
ledge, then follow the same northwest path until you reach the middle of the
screen. South of you, you'll find a ledge shaped like a ... erm, never
mind. Just hop on the T-shaped ledge and at the tip, you'll find a [Collection
Item]. Once done, just jump off the ledges and head east back to the first
area of town.
Once in the main area, you'll get a quick screen, and a Goron will equip
a [Freight Car] to your train! Very cool. And hey, speaking of cool, the
Goron requests you bring back to this village something cold. Hmm, what
do we know that's cold ... the Snow Realm, of course. Head to Anouki Village.
There's really nothing of interest on the path there except for a lone
boar fight in the Snow Sanctuary. Of course, watch out for the evil trains
as well.
-
Talking to the locals in Anouki, they'll point out a guy near the only lake
in the town that sells Mega Ice. Hey, we need that! And speak of the devil,
he calls you over. Turns out he requests that you bring him to a spring,
so let him board your train, and head down a littlewards east to
Wellspring Station.
The train ride is a little rough, as you'll encounter a whole lot of
snowmen near the end. But nevertheless, the ride is fairly short, so carrying
him there shouldn't be much of a hassle.
-
Once in Wellspring, you'll be awarded with a [FORCE SHARD]. This opens up
a couple of tracks near the south, as well as opening up a path down to the
Forest Realm. But anyways, talk to the Anouki, and he'll make it, but first
you gotta leave the area to give him time to make it. Just enter the only
house in the area, then leave, and the Mega Ice will be ready. You can
haggle with him all the way down to it being free, but the asking price is
pretty cheap to start with.
He'll load it in to your freight car, but he'll warn you that if you get
hit by monster attacks, the ice will shatter a bit. He'll also tell you that
you need to be speedy in hot areas, otherwise the ice will melt. Fair
enough.
-
The trip out of the Snow Realm is fairly simple - just avoid the three or
four Snowmen on the trip out, and the set of boars. The Fire Realm is
where it begins to get crazy - there is a train blocking the first path (it
sits in front of the entrance to the Fire Sanctuary and pounces whenever
you attempt to come near) so you're going to have to take the longer, dark-
train filled path around. Since the train's paths vary, I'm afraid this
guide can't supply you with an exact path, so just do your best to avoid
them. Note that any emergency braking or turning maneuvers that you feel
are necessary to avoid the trains do NOT affect the ice, so do what you need
to, and as long as the ice doesn't hit one, you're good.
-
Once back in Goron Village, head west to talk to the black Goron (his name is
Kagoron, for future reference). You'll get a quick scene where they unload
the ice and take care of the lava, and you then gain access to most of the
other half of the village. There's nothing of interest in most of the area,
however, if you head up the stairs to the right of the triangle of houses,
then head southwest across the bridge, you'll come upon a [Collection Item].
When done, jump off and head to the Elder's House (it's the widest house on
the mini-map on the top of the DS screen).
Once inside, you can talk to him, and he'll let you inside a little, mini-
dungeon. Follow the path, and take out the two Fire Keese with your whip (two
strikes). Ignore the lava pool, and head northwest across the river of lava
using your whip. You'll find a bunch of pots and a switch. Step on it to
create a bridge across the pool of lava. Head back over there, and cross
the bridge, careful of the Fire Keese. Head north, ignore the exit for
now, and instead continue heading west and open the chest for a semi-common
[Collection Item]. Head back, and leave the area.

not left, and if you ask me, I believe they're even more prevalent than
before. Just head north, kill the Fire Keese, and continue. Kill the babas
that appear, then go south around the curving path. Before you try and solve
any torches, just follow the path south and kill the four or five babas on
the way. Once done, head back to the lit torch, and light the one to the
south. Do the same with the torch south of that one, and then once more
to create a bridge. Head south some more and you'll notice a torch in the
grass - light it, then light the final one to the west to light a final
torch, unlocking two additional bridges.
+-------------------------------+ Go back north up the slope, then go to
| STAMP STATION XV | the first bridge to your left. Head north
+-------------------------------+ for a [Collection Item], and optionally
| Head east from the treasure | head east for a stamp. Head back the way

+-------------------------------+
The stone tablet gives you a long story, but honestly, all it really means
is to stand in the middle of the center, and the center right (statues
5 and 6) and play the Song of Light (Purple, Yellow, Orange, Turquoise,
White) to make a light beacon appear.
[1] [2] [3]
[4] [5] X [6]
[7] [8]
Just stand on the 'X' and play the Song of Light. Dun dun dun dun! The door
opens - enter it to gain access to a new area. Inside, you'll find Embrose,
the next guardian. Aw, aw, crap, not another song! You have to play a duet
with Embrose - this time, it's Purple, Yellow, Purple, Yellow, Turquoise.
You have to skip a note, yet again, and he's playing in funky 4/4 time while
you play in 3/4 time. Very crazy indeed. I'll propose the same tips as last
time.
- The skipping note problem can be fixed by sliding real fast through
the red note between the two notes. You have to be fast, however,
but if the yellow note plays for only a split second, it shouldn't
count against you.
- What poses a problem is the strange timing - you play earlier and earlier
than him each time you play. You can rely either on the metronome in the
background, or the visual at the top: when the musical notes at the top
light up, it signify's when you're to play.
- Blow properly in the microphone. Unfortunately, for us old DS users, or
DS phat users, if you will, have a poor microphone location - so if you
do have an avaliable DS Lite or DSi, it's probably preferable. Also,
breathe at least five inches away from the microphone - any closer,
and you'll have a hard time. Make sure that you have a steady, yet
gentle blow into the Nintendo DS.
Good luck with it once again! However, when you finish, you'll gain an
upgrade to your map! More tracks open up. Leave all the way back to the
Elder's House in Goron Village. He'll give you a warning that the Fire
Temple is locked, and the three keys are held by monsters. If you talk to
the villagers, they'll tell you that the monsters are susceptible to noise -
a short one, followed by a long one to be exact. If you didn't catch the
hint, it means your train whistle - a short toot, then a long toot.
Head out, through the cave (just shoot down the dwellers) and you'll get a
quick panning of the camera to reveal the three monsters - giant, owl,
elephant hybrids that fly. Quite weird indeed. You can find them on the
top screen, flying around. The first one is in your path, and the second
and third ones are near the north. To bring them down, just use your
train whistle to do one short toot, then a long one, then shoot them with a
cannon. When you got all three, head into the Fire Temple.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/\ /\
/__\ Fire Temple /__\
/_\/_\ IIIy. /_\/_\
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This temple starts the same as the others, really. Enter the main entrance,
then follow the path north, then west, then north once more until you
find a bed of spikes and a rotating fire wall. Just time it until it
passes, then run across into the safe area. It's pretty self-explantory, just
repeat the process, curving counter-clockwise until you're in the clear.
Head south into a room that closes.
You'll then encounter three sets of Stalfos - skeleton creatures. Though you
can engage in a swordfight with them, hitting them until they die, it's
much easier to just toss a bomb to kill them all in one hit per skeleton.
The door on the southern end opens - follow it.
Head south, and the stone tablet tells you to mark the pitfalls (the brown,
trap doors) on the map for later. Due so, and follow the path until you're
between the second and third column of blocks, careful of the black/red
sparks. Head north to the ledge, but don't jump off. Instead, use your
Boomerang to hit the switch, which drops a stone plate. Head back down, and
then head to the set of stairs leading to the second floor that are to the
right of the third column of blocks.
-
Ride the vehicle after a quick talking-to from Zelda, and on the island,
open the chest for a [Small Key]. Hey, we have some locked doors downstairs!
Get back on the vehicle to bring you back to the main area, then head back
down to floor one.
-
Make your way back to the center hallway, where there are three doors. Open
either of the side doors, but any of the two purple switches are futile
without one or the other's counterpart. Instead, get the stone plate that
dropped earlier, and toss it on to the mini-volcano. You can now cross it,
like a stepping stone. Follow the straightforward path until you're in
another spike room.
Remember the stone tablet? If you didn't mark it, here's the path.

You can optionally grab a Red potion on the way, but just follow the path
above to find a set of stairs leading up to the second floor.
-
Hop on the mine-cart, and you'll notice a purple switch. Hit it real quick
with your sword to swap directions. Do not hit the second one, however.
This will take you to a island with a [Collection Item]. Hop back on the
mine cart and let it take you to the first island. Now, hop back on the
cart once more, and hit both the first, and second switch that you see on
your way. This takes you to a section with a Stalfos (take it out with either
your bomb or some crafty swordplay) then open the chest for a [Small Key].
Head back on the cart to the original island, then head back down to floor
one.

Just follow the path to the exit once more, hop across the volcano, and open
either door that you didn't open before with the first small key. Stand in
the middle, and use the Boomerang to hit both switches at once. This will
open the door in the center - hop on the stairs, up to floor two.

| Mini-Boss |
+-------------+
OH MY GOD, A MINI-BOSS! Your foe happens to be a sluggish turtle, and the
battle really isn't that hard. If you hit the turtle on its head, it retreats
into it's shell, and whirls itself straight at you. Your goal is to lead it
into one of the electric ball conga-lines on the wall. Once it hits the
electric ball, it's stunned, so hit it's head with your sword. Repeat the
process a handful of times, and it dies. Simple enough.
---
+-----------------------------------------+ A treasure chest appears, and a
| BOW & ARROW | door opens. Open the treasure
+-----------------------------------------+ for a [BOW AND ARROW]! Head out
| This useful classic weapon can hit | the door to the east, and hit
| certain switches, and it also acts as | the purple statue with your
| one of your most powerful projectile | bow. This causes it to react,
| weapons. To use it, just activate it, | and create a bridge leading to
| then tap the direction you want the | the other side. Go ahead and
| arrow to fly in. | cross it. Head down the steps.
+-----------------------------------------+
-
On the next floor, you'll notice a blue statue. I call it an auto-arrow
statue, what it pretty much does is when you shoot an arrow at it, it makes
the arrow fly in the direction that it's pointed at. So, shoot your arrow
at that auto-arrow statue to have it carry your arrow to a previously
unreachable-to-you eye. However, not only that, but also what's cool about
these statues is that you can pick them up and move them around. You can
finally rotate them by hitting them with your sword! Cool, huh!
But first, grab a treasure on the eastern end of the room, then head to the
southern ledge. Grab the auto-arrow statue, and make sure it's facing
north. Then, throw it at the island to the west of the western-most edge
of the island you're on. Hit it with an arrow to make it hit an eye, which
creates a bridge over to that island.
Make sure the auto-arrow is facing west, then pick it up once more, and
throw it across to the northern island (make sure you're on the island
where the auto-arrow just was). Hit it with your bow to make it hit an eye,
allowing you to cross.
-
Read the comical plaque if you so desire, but anyways, head down to
floor B2, or the left set of stairs.
-
Head south, and SURPRISE! The door closes in on you, leaving you in a room
with three strips - you on the center, and a total of four Stalfos on the
strips to either side of you. You can either toss a bomb across, or use
your arrow to hit them - it doesn't matter, they both kill the skeleton-like
monsters in one hit. Once done, the door opens to the south, so head down.
To the east are some branches accessible by whip, although the thing is,
a wall of lava is blocking. Instead, use your bow and arrow to hit the
auto-arrow to the west, which temporarily ceases the wall of lava from
spewing. Quickly head east and cross the branches, and after, the lava
starts flowing again, leaving you temporarily trapped from heading back the
way you came.
The southern end is locked, so head north, and defeat the two Stalfos with
whatever weapon you so please. You'll notice some stone plates, hop on them
until you reach the second one. Make sure that the third one is not spewing
before you hop on, and once on, wait for it to spew, to propel you upwards,
then hop along to the treasure chest for a [Collection Item]. On the high
ledge, you can now access the high up branches, so swing across to the
other side, past the locked southern door. Hit the switch to unlock
aforementioned door.
Just cross the path when the spinning spikes aren't passing. It's a
classic trick. When you reach the end, take a pit stop in the jutting edge,
then head back down, then east. You can then find a treasure chest with a
[Collection Item] with it, as well as two unlit torches and some Fire Keese.
Use the Boomerang on the Keese to gain fire, then on the torch to light it
(don't worry if you accidently kill the Keese; they respawn). Light the
two torches, then a stone appears from the ceiling, and lands on the
volcano. Cross it like a stepping stone up to B1.
-
Inside the room, two of the mini-boss turtles appear. However, they are
much easier - all you need to do is shoot two arrows at their heads, and
they die. Simple, eh? Anyways, the door opens when you kill them, so head
back through to the newly opened stairs to basement dos.
-
Kill the Stalfos, and follow the path until you come upon a switch. Step on
it, and the locked door opens. The problem is, as soon as you step off it,
the door goes back down. Go and grab the blue auto-arrow statue from the
northern end of the room you're in, and put it in front of the door, facing
west. Step on the switch, and while stepping on it, hit the statue with
your arrow. This makes a stone disc drop.
Go over, and drag the stone disc over to the northern area between two
sections of lava. Place it on the volcano to the west, and jump on it, waiting
for it to propel you upwards. However, make sure to bring the auto-arrow
statue on your way up, then toss it up on the floor. Once on the floor,
also take the stone disc off the volcano when it propels up at you. You
should now have a stone disc, a diagonol facing auto-arrow (it's on the
northeast end of the floor), and a straight facing auto-arrow. Hit the purple
switch on the southeastern end to make a branch appear, first.
You'll notice two eyes, and three volcanoes. Position your loot like this:
[S] EYE | EYE [<-] s = stone disc
/ = diagonol a-arrow
[/] -> = straight a-arrow
The purple switch on the northern end turns the volcanoes on, and off.
Stand on Point S with the volcanoes on, then turn it on with your Boomerang,
Whip, or Bow (doesn't matter). Then shoot two arrows - one into the diagonol
auto-arrow, the other directly into the eye. This will press both eyes,
which opens a door with a chest containing a [Small Key]. Grab it, jump off,
and head west, across the branch, then north, back to basement un.
-
Unlock the door, but before you step on the cart up ahead, take out your
bow and arrow. You'll find yourself going in a circle (if for some reason,
you want to head back to the room where you started, hit the purple
switch at the northeast corner). Near the southern end, looking north,
you'll see four red eyes. Recall the grave stones in one room a while
back? You need to hit them in the following order:
2 1 4 3
+---------------------------+ Just hit 1 first, 2 second, and so on, so
| STAMP STATION XVI | forth. When done, the tracks shift to

| purple switch in the |
| southwest corner of the | -
| room to shift the tracks |
| over to the stamp station.| On basement two, head south to basement
+---------------------------+ three.
-
On basement three, you'll see a huge rock to your right. You can either blow
it up with your own bomb, or grab a bomb flower on the series of islands to
the west, but either way, when it blows up, it reveals
a stone disc. Place it
on the volcano, but before you go, make sure to head to the map to your left
and mark all the spots on it on your in-game map. Then, hop on the cart,
and hit all the switches that had stars on them on the sign.
You should land in a new area with a plaque. Read it if you wish, but instead,
go to the nearby cart. Hit the first two switches, and you'll land in front
of the boss door. Jump off to the east, then open the treasure for a
[Collection Item]. Swing back across like Tarzan to the otherside, back to
where you were.
Stand in front of the boss key, and blow it into the cart using a Whirlwind.
Take out your Bow and Arrow as well. Note that when you move, the cart with
the boss key starts to move as well. Board on, and hit the first two
switches with your sword. Skip the third one, and instead, hit the switch
when you're southwest of it with your bow and arrow that you encounter
fourth. This is harder than it looks, and I am here to report that it
shamefully took your guide writer thirty minutes to do it his first time.
But hey, when you get it right, the boss key lands on the area where you
are. Pick up the [Boss Key], and throw it into the [BOSS DOOR]. Go down the
stairs.
-
On basement four, you can find some spare arrows in the northwest corner,
and hearts in the northeast. When you're ready for the boss, head north up
the stairs.
O==============O
| BOSS |
+------O==============O------+
| CRAGMA, LAVA LORD |
+----------------------------+
This boss turns out to be the biggest you've seen by far, but he's also
probably fairly easy thanks to the massive heart boost you've earned,
and also in comparison to the pretty tough Fraaz and Phytops you had faced
earlier.
But anyways, he's a huge, rocky golem - doesn't seem to have any weak spots.
But take a look - when he's getting ready to punch, look at his lower body
just above the lava. You should see a glowing spot - hit it with an arrow
to have him recoil. When you do this, rocks will tumble: some with arrows,
some with nothing, and one huge one that remains on the ground. Hit the
huge one with a bomb to reveal a stone disc (if you don't have any bombs
or any bombs left, lure Cragma over to the stone, and have him smash it).
Drag the stone disc to the northeast end of the arena, and place it on the
mini-volcano. Hop over on to it, then into the cart.
Make sure you have arrows while riding the cart - then hit all the glowing
spots you see on his body as you ride the cart on the spiraling path (if
you miss any glowing spots, he'll grab you and throw you back on the ground.
If you end up back on the ground, you don't have to do the hitting his
abdomen portion, only the boulder portion. If you hit any of the spots, you
don't have to hit those spots again). When you get to the top, hit
Cragma's eye. This causes him to fall over to the ground, and the cart
derails, and you end up on the ground. Him falling over reveals his major
weakpoint - his scalp. Slash his scalp a few times, and he'll get back up.
You just have to repeat process but once, and Cragma dies. Pretty quick
battle in my opinion.

Cut-scene, collect the heart, head out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/\ /\
/__\ Tower of Spirits (Visit VI) /__\
/_\/_\ IIIz. /_\/_\
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Follow the rails south to the newly-made tracks that extend out to the
Tower of Spirits. Stop by Beedle if you need to. (I recommend purchasing
random goods simply to get more points for his shop. You can get special
items this way.) Anyways, just stop by the Tower of Spirits, and enter the
tower. Also, on the way down (right by the first curve that heads south near
the Tower of Spirits) is a [MOUNTAIN RABBIT].
-
As you arrive the completed tower - you'll find the station, but no Anjean.
Follow the long-winding stairs in the northern room, and enter the top-most
room - floor eighteen.
-
On here, you'll get a quick talking to from Zelda where you can choose one
dialogue option or another (it doesn't matter what you say, like ninety
percent of dialogue options in the game). This floor showcases new phantoms -
Ball Phantoms, which curl up into a ball when they see you. If you head to
the east, following the path, you may even lure one out, and it'll head into
the blocks, allowing you to get through. You can use bombs to break the blocks
if you don't want to risk your life by luring them, but it takes two bombs per
set of blocks, and you only have a limited supply, so I recommend the latter.
Blow up or lure a phantom to break the blocks in the newly opened area, then
enter the niche to discover a [Force Gem], your first at the moment. Spend a
bit of time getting rid of all the outside boxes with either your bombs, or
the phantoms. When done, find the northwest set of blocks (or former set of
blocks) and head through the path up to the safe zone full of movable (not
breakable) blocks, watching out for the phantom.
Head in, and pull the first movable block you see out. Head through the path,
then go up to the next block and pull it west, then head to the south side of
it and pull south. Head through the opening to find a switch, and upon
stepping upon it, reveals a treasure chest. Head out, again, careful of the
phantom, and head to the northeast side this time. Go into the safe zone,
whip out your whip (no pun intended) and swing across. Inside the treasure
chest is a [Small Key].
Leave the area, carerful of the phantoms, and unlock the door at the north
end of the room. Head through, then follow the stairs up to floor
nineteen.
-
You'll end up in a long, slender room. Head east, knocking out any pots or
acorns you find on the way - then head up the short steps and pick up the
auto-arrow machine. Head back west, into the long room, then continue on
into the other side of the floor. Head south, auto-arrow still in hand, and
ignoring the statue goblins also. You'll eventually reach a small puzzle room.
+----------------------+ 8 = door openable via switch
| EYE | SWITCH | [<]= auto-arrow machine
| | o | | = wall
| | o | o = arrow path
| 8 o |
| [^]o o8o [<] |
| | |
| | |
+----------------------+
Place the auto-arrow on the section indicated by the poorly-made demonstration
above. Have it facing west, then stand on the switch. Upon standing on it,
the door will open. Use the Boomerang to hit the [^] auto-arrow twice, or at
least make sure it's facing north. Then stand on the Switch, and launch an
arrow into the visible auto-arrow machine, thus hitting auto-arrow number two,
thus hitting the eye, thus creating a bridge back at the easern area of the
room.
Head all the way back down there, careful of the goblins, until you reach an
even longer, slender room. Nothing of interest east, so head west - and a Ball
Phantom will then spawn. Let it chase you down the path of blocks, destroying
all blocks in its path, until you reach the end (make sure to pick up the
one [Force Gem] on the path), then let it make an entrance to a safe zone
leading to floor twenty.
-
Here we have another puzzle floor. But first, before we start setting up
our auto-arrows, lure the phantom over to the various, destroyable rocks,
destroying all of them. When done, the remains of some destroyable rocks as
well as an additional auto-arrow machine are left behind in the southeast
corner. Bring the auto-arrow up to the north-east end of the room, up the
small ledge.
Go up to the block south of you, and drag it between the ledge on the north-
east area, and on the middle-north area. Go up to the north-east ledge,
grab the auto-arrow, and jump it over to the otherside and place it on the
indicated spot. Upon shooting, it'll launch the arrow south, which then
launches the arrow west. However, the final auto-arrow is facing the wrong
way. Head to the center-west ledge, then Boomerang the auto-arrow so it's
facing north, then re-do the arrow, while standing on the switch.
After this, a niche will open, revealing the final [Force Gem]. Grab it, then
head back to floor twenty, since there's currently not much of interest left
on this area of the floor.
-
Back east through the long, skinny room - destroying the blocks and/or
phantom if you wish. Head back up the bridge - and remember the cluster of
statues you found? Zelda can now break them. Command Zelda to break all the
blocking statues as well as any spare enemies you find to reveal a room in
the center of the floor. Though there are some puzzle-solving equipment in
here, we need to do some things before we solve it, so head down the stairs
in the center-room.
-
You'll end up in the center of floor eighteen. It looks complicated with
various different blocks, but it's simple - just place all the blocks on
switches. The first one is the one in the south-west corner. Have Link push
the block down until it can't go any more. You'll find a big, blue block to
the right. Have Zelda drag the blue block (trace the directing line over the
block, then when you get the action symbol, quickly snap back and draw in the
direction you'd like to push/pull it in - the line will becoming green in
response) to the right, letting you loop back around, and pushing it south
on to the block.
Another set of blocks is on the northwest corner. Simple - just have Zelda
drag the big blue box to the left of the entrance on to the set of switches
in the corner.
For the southwest end, you'll see two blue blocks blocking the entrance.
Pull the right one all the way north, and the left one all the way south.
Then have Link push the small block on to the switch.
The final one is in the northeast corner. Go back to the entrance and you'll
spot the block. Have Zelda push the large, blue box on the north past from
the entrance of the area, and push it all the way south. Then have Link push
the block to the northeast corner, and you'll notice one switch left. You may
ask - where's the last block? The answer is you! Stand on the final switch,
and it lowers the spikes in the area. Cross it for a treasure chest containing
a [Small Key]. All that for a measely key? Head to floor nineteen.
-
Follow the looping path to discover a tumbling rock sections. Use Zelda to
roll upwards, and follow her lead (her rolling body auto-destroys all rocks
in the way) all the way to the northern end. Cross through, then hit the
switch to disable the boulders, for future uses.
Follow the path once more, and Zelda will make a point to tell you that she
can't carry you across lava in the Wrecking Phantom body. Head south, having
Zelda destroy the blocks on the way out, then head up to floor twenty-one.
Stock up on hearts first, though, you have a little battle coming up.
-
Cross the room and head to the center (feel free to destroy the blocks first)
and have both Link and Zelda stand on the switches. Afterwards, four Stalfoses
appear. You can kill them in two hits with a Wrecking Hit, or just kill them
manually with Link. Once that is done, three Geozards/Zora Warriors/River
Zoras/Fishmen appear. You can use the Whip to take off their shields, then
just have both Link and Zelda slash away. After that ordeal, four Phantoms
appear. Make a dash for the safe zone in the southeast corner.
Hey - don't we need those type of phantoms, anyways? Slash any of them
from the safe zone, take it over, then quickly leave and head back down to
floor twenty.
-
Head over the the lava section to begin what is a (or at least, to me) a
fairly complicated puzzle. To ease the complications, I've labeled the
islands. The southwestern most island (not the one with the locked door; the
one adjacent to island 3 and south of island 2) is Island 1. Island 2 is the
northern most island. Island 3 is the island adjacent to island 1. Feel free
to mark them on your map. Also note that if you make any error and feel that
you can't complete the puzzle, just leave and re-enter the area to reset the
puzzle room.
...
Now, ready? There is an auto-arrow on island 2. Jump on Zelda, and head to
the outskirts of island 2 where you'll notice wooden branches. Stand back a
bit and latch on, then swing across to grab the auto-arrow. Bring it down to
island 3, and go up the stairs. Make sure the auto-arrow is facing east, then
place it on either of the two marked squares on the floor.
Now, you'll also find a blue switch on the island with the stairs on it. Grab
it, and transport yourself to island 1. Make SURE it is facing west, then
place it on island 1. Now, take Link over to island 2, and have him stand on
it with a few arrows (there's an acorn to your left if you need it).
Finally, have Zelda go back to island 1, and stand on it. Have her pick up
the auto-arrow, and just stay there. Then, swap back to Link, who should be
on island 2, and have him shoot the auto-arrow on island 3. In turn, that hits
the eye which opens the wall on the west side. Quickly shoot the auto-arrow
statue being held by Zelda on island 1 (make sure she's standing on either of
the marked squares on the floor) and shoot. This should hit the final eye,
which opens the stairs to floor twenty-one in the same puzzle room.
Hurrah! Head through, up to floor twenty-one.
-
Follow the path to floor twenty-two. If I'm not mistaken, there's nothing of
interest on this floor.
-
On floor twenty-two, you'll discover the boss key and the boss door. Start
by walking Link to as close as to the boss key as possible, right outside the
fire. Walk Zelda there, as well (but you can't go there directly using the
quick-snad - you'll have to detour past two walls of fire). Picking up the
boss key will cause four phantom hands to spawn. The first two are in the
lower area - have Zelda walk up to the area between the two flames, having
Link escort her - slashing all hands in the way.
Once there, you're save from the first two Phantoms. Draw a path all the way
to the east end of the room with the portal. Have Link go over past the
quick-sand and shoot the phantom hands with arrows, protecting Zelda. Then,
have Link stand on the warp, and when Zelda stands on it, they'll switch
places. Have Zelda place the key into the [BOSS DOOR].
Once the boss door is down - several things happen. The phantom hands all
dissapear, all the flames are doused, and a bridge is created. Have Link make
his way back to Zelda, and you'll find yourself at the end of the tower.
-
On the final floor of the tower, grab whatever hearts you need from the pots.
When you're ready for the boss, head north, up the stairs.

+----------------------------+
After some cut-scenes - you'll come upon the boss, Byrne. The battle is fairly
easy, though. He starts out jumping across pillars, shooting weak blue plasma
balls at you from time to time. It's mostly just show - it's really easy to
avoid, just run around the stage. After a while, he'll release his glove which
acts like the Hookshot/Clawshot from the previous games. It'll stick to the
ground - target it with Zelda to pull him down from the pillars. Hit him with
Link a few times, and he'll get back up. Repeat the process once, and he'll
come down to ground level for phase two.
For phase two, he mostly just walks around occasionally striking. Hit him with
your sword a few times, and afterwards, he'll charge up for a dash attack.
Have Zelda get in front, and he'll dash into Zelda - they'll engage in combat,
where you, as Link, can get behind him and slash a few times. Repeat the
process once more, and Byrne dies.
---
Head outside, following Byrne for some cut-scenes (don't worry; I won't
spoil them for anyone). After some pretty major plot advancement compared to
what we've been seeing, you'll find Anjean, and end up back in the lobby of
the Tower of Spirits. Your goal is to head to the Sand Temple - and she gives
you a [FORCE SHARD] to help you. Though she tells you your time is limited,
like in most games, that's some bull feces, and you can goof off for as long
as you'd like.

/__\ Swords & Shields /__\
/_\/_\ IVa. /_\/_\
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+------------------------+ Obtained: Hyrule Castle (Sect. IIIb)
| Recruit's Sword |
+------------------------+
This sword is the basic sword that you use for a fair portion of the game.
Not as powerful as the other swords, but hey, it gets the job done.
+------------------------+ Obtained: Castle Town General Store (Sect. IIIb)
| Shield |
+------------------------+
This is the basic shield that you can purchase for around 80-150 rupees in a
lot of the general stores in the game. Not as good as some of the better
shields you can find in the game, but like the Recruit's Sword - it's cheap,
and it gets the basic job done. Having a shield can passively defend you from
small projectiles, for example, an Octotrok's pellet attack.
+------------------------+ Obtained: Aboda Village (Sect. IIIr)
| Shield of Antiquity |
+------------------------+
This is similar to the normal shield, but it cannot be eaten by Like-Likes.
Looks a little different, and is a unique item, as well.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/\ /\
/__\ Weapons /__\
/_\/_\ IVb. /_\/_\
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+------------------------+ Obtained: Hyrule Castle (Sect. IIIb)
| Spirit Flute |
+------------------------+
The Spirit Flute is the most versatile tool out there. You start out by
learning 'songs' which carry out different uses, for example, one can
uncover hidden treasure, while another can heal your health for one time only.
It can be played by opening it up (time pauses) and using the slider to
select a note. You blow in the DS microphone to play the note.
+------------------------+ Obtained: Forest Temple (Sect. IIIg)
| Whirlwind |
+------------------------+
The Whirlwind is capable of a fair variety of tasks. It can be used to spin
windmills, carry light items such as pots, acorns, and keys across long
distances, used to stun some smaller enemies, and in some cases, it can be
used as a propeller while on a boat like item to propel yourself across the
water.
To use it, you select the item, and use the stylus to drag Link in the
direction you want to face. To unleash the cyclone, you blow in the DS
microphone.
+------------------------+ Obtained: Ice Temple (Sect. IIIn)
| Boomerang |
+------------------------+
The Boomerang is a classic Zelda weapon. It is mostly used as a light
projectile weapon - you can use it to kill very small enemies, and stun
medium sized enemies. You can also use it to carry very light items to you,
away from you, or to a different location. Finally, it can be used to carry
fire or ice-fire from torches, and it can use that fire or ice for various
features - be it to melt ice, freeze water, or light other torches.
To use it, select the item, and then use the stylus to detail the path you
want it to go. If when drawing over an object you get a yellow, blast
symbol and a particular sound, it means the Boomerang will perform some kind
of action on the symbol.
+------------------------+ Obtained: Beedle (after the Ice Temple)
| Bombs |
+------------------------+
Bombs are one of the most powerful attacking weapons avaliable for attacking
enemies - often equivilent to several sword slices. It can also be used to
destroy brown, cracked blocks, as well as cracks in walls. It's delay can also
be used cleverly to activate switches after a short amount of time.
To use it, select the item, then tap near your feet to drop it. You can also
tap far away to throw it in that direction.
To carry bombs, you need a bomb bag. You start out with the small one, but you
can upgrade to larger bomb bags.
Medium Bomb Bag - 'Whip Race' mini-game.
Large Bomb Bag - 'Take 'Em All Out' mini-game.
+------------------------+ Obtained: Ocean Temple (Sect. IIIt)
| Whip |
+------------------------+
The Whip is a great, versatile weapon. First off, it can be used as a simple
attack - it may not be as powerful as your sword, but it has a much longer
range, and is just as fast. It's other primary use is as a grabbing tool. You
can grab enemy's shields to make them vulnerable, you can pull rope from
afar, and you can latch on to branches and birds - and swing around like
Tarzan and reach new places.
To use it, just select the Whip, then use the stylus to aim in the direction
that you'd like to aim at. If you're aiming at something vertical, you
have to tap it directly, not just in it's general direction. If you want to
grab on to something, after tapping, leave your stylus on the touch screen.
+------------------------+ Obtained: Fire Temple (Sect. IIIy)
| Bow & Arrow |
+------------------------+
The Bow is the most powerful ranged weapon yet. It can be used to strongly hit
far away targets (it's as strong as your sword) and it can be also used to hit
either auto-arrow machines (blue statues with golden framing) and eye statues
(classic, red/purplish eyes on walls that function as switches).
To use it, just select the Bow & Arrow, and tap the direction you'd like the
arrow to launch in.
You need a quiver to carry larger stacks of arrows. The quiver obtaining
process is a little complicated, since there's an alternative method to obtain
the first quiver.
---
Medium Quiver - Buy it from the Goron Village store for 2,000 rupees
OR
Beat Level 3 of Take 'Em All Out
OR
Score 3,000+ points on the Pirate hide-out mini-game
-
Large Quiver - Score 3,000+ points on the Pirate Hide-Out mini-game (only if
you didn't obtain the Medium Quiver by these means)

Songs are the various songs you learn that you can play on your Spirit Flute.
Playing them offers various bonuses that can benefit you in the game.
+------------------------+ Blue - Orange
| Song of Awakening | G - A
+------------------------+ Obtained in: Forest Sanctuary

| Song of Healing | E - F - E
+------------------------+ Obtained in: most Temples
The Song of Healing can be used once per temple, or once in the Tower of

/__\ Rabbit Collection /__\
/_\/_\ IVe. /_\/_\
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rabbit collecting is a mini-game that you can start by obtaining a [Rabbit
Net] from Rabbitland Rescue, a small, tucked away area in the northwest
section of the Forest Realm, on the tracks heading up to the Snow Realm. If you
see a rabbit behind a boulder of any kind, shoot it with a cannonball - and
you'll be engaged in a little mini-game. You have ten seconds to 'catch' the
rabbit. You tap an area to swat the net down - but there's a half-second or
so delay, meaning you have to predict where the rabbit moves.
You can store your collected rabbits at Rabbitland Rescue, as well as recieve
prizes for collecting a large number.

Ah, mini-games. Sometimes we get bored playing the main game, so we can
spend some leisure time playing some fun (or for those who like it, hardcore)
mini-games to pass the time. Not only that, but you can obtain some neat, one-
of-a-kind prizes as well!

/\ /\
/__\ Take 'Em All Out /__\
/_\/_\ Va. /_\/_\
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Take 'Em All Out is a mini-game located in the south-east hut of Castle
Town. The theme is simple - just kill all the enemies on the floor, then
move on. But the problem is - you don't have anything to refill your health
except what's on your back.
-
You can play Level 1 after completing the Forest Temple.
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| ROUND I | Round One consists of a handful of moles. The best method is |
|-------------+ to simply slash them one by one - they take two hits to |
| kill. |
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| ROUND II | Round Two consists of eight Octoroks. It only needs one |
|-------------+ attack to die, so like the above, this floor is fairly |
| simple. Just watch out for their projectiles. |
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| ROUND III | Round Three consists of four poison bubbles, and four rats. |
|-------------+ The bubbles require you to blow on them with your Whirlwind |
| to stun them, then require a slash. The rats just requires two slashes. I |
| recommend taking out the bubbles, then going after the rats, but it's up |
| to you. |
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| ROUND IV | Round Four consists of six Red Chus. Simple floor - wait for |
|-------------+ them to slither over to you, then kill them all in one spin |
| attack. They only take one hit to die. |
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| ROUND V | Round Five has six blue worms inhabiting the floor. They are |
|-------------+ fairly simple - slash them once, then roll them into the |
| wall with your Whirlwind. Make sure not to slash them while they're in |
| ball form, or else you'll suffer blast damage. |
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| ROUND VI | Just a couple of Keese on the sixth floor. They only take |
|-------------+ one hit to die, but they're fast, and hard to see. Take them |
| out one by one, and eventually, they'll all be dead. |
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| ROUND VII | Round Seven consists of two Mothulas. What is a Mothula, you |
|-------------+ may ask? They are the mini-boss from the Forest Temple. To |
| kill them, you need to wait for them to release their projectile - then |
| you use your Whirlwind to reflect the projectile back at them. When they |
| are hit by the reflected projectile, they'll be stunned - take the liberty |
| to go up and slash them a couple of times, then they'll get back up. It'll |
| take around three times to kill one Mothula, and then you do the same with |
| the second Mothula. Make sure not to just release a lone Whirlwind cyclone |
| on it - they'll reflect it themselves! |
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| ROUND VIII | Round Eight is actually easy - three moles and three |
+-------------+ Octotroks. Like the previous times, just slash them |
| individually to advance to the next floor. |
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| ROUND IX | Round Nine is a huge tornado of enemies - moles, Red Chus, |
|-------------+ and Octotroks, around fifteen-twenty total. Just use the mix |
| of strategies used earlier to defeat them. |
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| ROUND X | For Round Ten, you're going to have face a copy of Stagnox. |
|-------------| He's the same as when you faced him in the Forest Temple. |
| For the first part, he's simply going to stand in the center and rotate |
| around, following you. When he's about to stop, he'll stop rotating. Use |
| this opportunity to rush behind him, and use your Whirlwind to blow the |
| purple clouds on his back end off. He'll then be vulnerable, so go up to |
| him, and unleash some spin slashes on him. Repeat the process just once to |
| finish part one of the battle. |
| |
| For part two, Stagnox takes to the sky, and releases some blue caterpillar |
| minions on you. The silly boss doesn't know that you'll just use these |
| against him - slash the caterpillars to turn them into blue, spiky balls, |
| then wait for him to attempt a dash attack. When he does, use the |
| Whirlwind to launch the blue spiked balls at him. His dash is fairly fast, |
| though, so you have to be prepared to launch. Getting into position before |
| hand helps. Repeat the process once more, and Stagnox falls to the ground, |
| dead. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
After you finish the final round, you'll be warped back to the hut. As a
reward, you'll be given a HEART CONTAINER.
-
Level 2 can be done anytime after you complete the Ocean Temple.
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| ROUND I | Round One consists of a lot (around 30-40) of assorted Keese |
|-------------+ and moles. The moles take about two slashes to kill, while |
| the Keese take only one. There's a lot of them, but the best method is to |
| simply go around slashing them. |
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| ROUND II | Round Two consists of four ice wolves that come out of the |
|-------------+ ground. They like to jump back when you slash them, though, |
| so be careful. The best method is to try and corner the wolves, then slash |
| them. They only take two hits to kill, anyways. |
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| ROUND III | Round Three consists of six, ice-covered Octoroks. Whip out |
|-------------+ your Boomerang. There are two nicely placed torches in the |
| center of the room - use the Boomerang at the torch to light your |
| Boomerang, then aim it at the chus. Once stunned and when they have their |
| ice armor melted, go up to them, and slash them. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| ROUND IV | Round Four consists of five Ice Chus. They are fairly easy |
|-------------+ to beat, just whip out your Boomerang to stun them, then |
| attack them with your sword to kill them. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| ROUND V | Round Five may seem a little difficult at first, but it's |
|-------------+ really not. Without a phantom, you may be wondering how to |
| get to the Fishman's back. Well, all you have to do is use the snake whip |
| to pull off it's shield, by tapping Fishman. Once that's done, just rush |
| up to it and slash it until it dies - the slashing will prevent it from |
| retaliating and attacking you. You may be attacked by the other Fishman |
| while you do so, though, so be careful. Repeat what you did to the first |
| Fishman to the second Fishman, and you'll be done with this floor. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| ROUND VI | For Round Six, you're going to have face a copy of Stagnox. |
|-------------| He's the same as when you faced him in the Forest Temple. |
| For the first part, he's simply going to stand in the center and rotate |
| around, following you. When he's about to stop, he'll stop rotating. Use |
| this opportunity to rush behind him, and use your Whirlwind to blow the |
| purple clouds on his back end off. He'll then be vulnerable, so go up to |
| him, and unleash some spin slashes on him. Repeat the process just once to |
| finish part one of the battle. |
| |
| For part two, Stagnox takes to the sky, and releases some blue caterpillar |
| minions on you. The silly boss doesn't know that you'll just use these |
| against him - slash the caterpillars to turn them into blue, spiky balls, |
| then wait for him to attempt a dash attack. When he does, use the |
| Whirlwind to launch the blue spiked balls at him. His dash is fairly fast, |
| though, so you have to be prepared to launch. Getting into position before |
| hand helps. Repeat the process once more, and Stagnox falls to the ground, |
| dead. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| ROUND VII | For Round Seven, you're going to be up against around forty |
|-------------+ to fifty rats. The round is fairly simple - they only take |
| one slash to kill, but it will take a while, and the heavy amount of rats |
| might catch you off-guard. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| ROUND VIII | For Round Eight, you'll be up against four Sea Monsters - |
|-------------+ the ones you found in the Snow Temple. However, they seem to |
| be smarter than the ones back in the Snow Temple - they duck underwater if |
| you come too close to them, and they're more careful about when they spew |
| out projectiles. I found the best way to defeat them was with the whip - |
| stand a good amount apart from them, and release two whip strikes on them. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| ROUND IX | For Round Nine, you have to face a Red Fishman. This time |
|-------------+ around, you just have to pull off his shield with your whip |
| and slash him. Yup, that simple. |
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| ROUND X | For Round Ten, you're going to face a copy of Fraaz. He's |
|-------------+ the exact same as when you faced him in the Snow Temple. |
| The first part is very easy, There are two torches - one with ice, the |
| other with fire. He will take the form of one element or the other (you |
| can tell - if he's red he's obviously fire, if he's blue, he's obviously |
| ice) You then take your Boomerang, and light it with the element of the |
| OPPOSITE element that Fraaz is, and release it. He's then stunned - rush |
| up to him and deal some sword slashes. Repeat the process one more to |
| finish part one of this fight. |
| |
| For part two, he splits up into two forms - one is fire, one is ice. You |
| can't tell just by looking, however, if you look at the mini-map at the |
| top of the screen, the color signifies it's element. Use the ice torch to |
| knock out the fire one, and the fire torch to knock down the ice one - but |
| it has to be in one toss. After just one time that you do this, you enter |
| part three, and he destroys the torches. |
| |
| He will then float around, again, with either an ice element, or a fire |
| element. He will spew out either an ice ball, or a fire ball, and it will |
| remain on the floor. Be sure to dodge it, but then wait for him to switch |
| elements. When he does, use your Boomerang to use the ice or fire remains |
| on the ground as a makeshift torch, then use it on Fraaz. He'll be stunned |
| - rush up and slash him. Do this once or twice more, and he'll enter part |
| four. |
| |
| Part four is nearly the same as part three - the Fraazs will spew out |
| either fire balls, or ice balls, and you need to use your Boomerang to hit |
| the opposite of each Fraaz. After just one hit, he enters the fourth, as |
| well as final stage. |
| |
| This time around, it's the same as part three - he spews fireballs and ice |
| balls and you need to hit him with the opposite, but it's harder around. |
| He may stay the same element two rounds in a row, and now, you have to hit |
| him TWICE with the element to stun him. If you can even get him stunned, |
| he snaps back to normal awfully quick, so make sure to rush him with your |
| sword quick. You just need to do it two or three times though. Don't be |
| ashamed to use any of the pots around the stage or use an emergency red |
| potion - the fight is rather tough. Once he's down, however, the boss |
| fight is over, no more stages. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| ROUND XI | For Round Eleven, you'll be up against two Snappers, or the |
|-------------+ mini-bosses of the Ocean Temple. Just use your snake whip to |
| attack it from afar, and stun it, or you can just whip it with your whip |
| until it dies. Do the same with the second Snapper - this is a relatively |
| easy battle. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| ROUND XII | For Round Twelve, you'll be up against thirty to forty green |
|-------------+ moles. They're almost the same as brown moles, except they |
| requires three hits to be killed. Like the Mole/Keese stage, there's no |
| real strategy except going around, killing like a maniac. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| ROUND XIII | For Round Thirteen, you'll be up against around a dozen or |
|-------------+ so Octoroks. You'll have a strange shaped stage though - you |
| start in the center platform, with the Octoroks spewing out from wings on |
| either side of you. Once you make it to the other side of the long, narrow |
| center platform, just go to either wing and slash them until they die. |
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| ROUND XIV | For Round Fourteen, you have to face a copy of Phytops. He's |
|-------------+ the exact same as when you faced him in the Ocean Temple. |
| Perhaps it is just me, but I found this fight to be considerably easier |
| than the Snow Temple's boss. But anyways, you have to actually get to |
| Phytops before you can begin - you come out at the bottom of a pillar, and |
| have to climb up through the spiraling path up to Phytops. |
| |
| Follow the path, and use your whip to go across the branch. Be careful, as |
| the boss will release a poisonous liquid from above, so dodge it, then |
| head to the end of the path. You can't quite just swing across this part |
| though, Phytops has sent a thorny tentacle to block you. Use your whip to |
| extract a thorn from the vine, then throw it into the eye. It'll cry, then |
| retreat up, so you can continue your journey forwards. You'll come across |
| a second viny-tentacle, so repeat what you did earlier, until you come |
| across a golden tongue. Pull it to activate a flying machine, and latch |
| and grab on to it (keep the stylus held on the screen when you aim your |
| whip at it) to experience a pretty cool cut-scene, where you'll drop on to |
| the arena so the fight can actually begin. |
| |
| The battle begins with him spewing out more poison liquids (avoid the |
| remains on the ground - they damage you) and then slam down two |
| vine-covered tentacles to block you from moving too much. Use your whip to |
| take off a thorn, then aim it at one of the purple clouds on his head, or |
| at least the central part of it's body - honestly I can't tell what |
| exactly it is. Do the same with the second tentacle, throw a thorn at it's |
| head, destroying one of the clouds. If you take out the center two purple |
| clouds, it will reveal his eye. Take one last thorn and aim it at it's |
| eye, and it will fall over to one side of the arena, stunned. Go over to |
| it and slash it repeatedly until it snaps back. |
| |
| After that, Phytops will stick it's head underwater, and take out four |
| vines. The first two will go on either side of you, while the back two are |
| slamming down on you trying to hit you. Just avoid them, go to the right |
| to avoid the left vine, and to the left to avoid the right vine - Phytops |
| alternates it's vine strikes. Once done, the battle will return to the |
| phase which you were just in earlier - he'll put two vines on either side |
| of you, and you need to destroy the purple clouds at his head, then aim at |
| his eye, then slash him while he's down. |
| |
| For the final phase, he'll repeat what he did earlier - four tentacles, |
| then he'll pop back up with his head. This time around, however, he'll |
| have his back vine-tentacles up while his head is up as well, so you'll |
| need to avoid those, but it's basically the same as before - get rid of |
| the purple clouds blocking his eye, toss a vine at his eye, then slash |
| him. Once this is done, he finally dies. |

After completing Level 2, you'll be warped back to the Take 'Em All Out
house. You'll then be awarded with the BIG BOMB BAG, which allows you to
carry up to thirty bombs.

/__\ Training Game /__\
/_\/_\ Vb. /_\/_\
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Training Game is a mini-game located in Hyrule Castle. It can be found
in the training room where you originally got your sword, or, in the east
hallway on the first floor of the castle. It can be played anytime after you
recieve the letter from the guardsmaster after the Snow Temple.
The game is simple - attack the three trainees without being attacked more
than twice yourself. If you get striken a third time, the game is over. It
costs 20 rupees to play.

| 0-59 HITS | Nothing. |

| 60+ HITS | Heart Container [first time only]. |
o---------------+------------------------------------------------------------o
There are several tips to this game.
- After you get into the battle, roll around to a smaller area. Only
two soldiers will chase you, making it more managable. Hit one soldier
three or four times, until the other soldier reels back, then you attack
or move out of the way.
- The soldiers' attacks have slow timing. If one reels back it's spear,
you can attack it mid-preparation to prevent him from attacking.

/__\ Whip Race /__\
/_\/_\ Vc. /_\/_\
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Whip Race can be played anytime after you recieve the whip, that is,
after you complete the Ocean Temple. It tucked away in the second map of
Whittleton, in the back forest.
All it is is a bunch of spiraling paths and branches to swing off of. You
need to get to the end in a certain amount of time to get good rewards.
It costs 50 rupees to play.
O=========O
| REWARDS |
o----------------+----------------O=========O--------------------------------o
| 1:30 or better | Medium Bomb Bag [first time only]. |
|----------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
| 1:30 or better | Collection Item [second time+ times only]. |
|----------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
| 1:15 or better | Heart Container [first time only]. |
o----------------+-----------------------------------------------------------o
A few tips.
- MOST IMPORTANT - you can use L or R on your DS to activate the whip
aiming mode. It's almost impossible to get the best time on this without
it.
- Tap the near branch is soon as you can - don't delay, or else you'll
lose a collectively massive amount of time.
