You must re-light to the torches to reactivate the elevator, which leads to the Boss Room.
As a result, the elevator goes down and shuts off. You will see four poes, the Poe Sisters, who steal the fire from the torches surrounding an elevator, its power source. If you use the Hookshot to hit the Skulltula, you don't have to wait for it to drop and turn its underbelly towards you (the Hookshot kills it instantly). Make quick work of the Big Skulltula and enter the next room. For all of the dungeons as an adult, you will use these keys to progress. Climb up, run and jump across to the other tree (or use the hookshot on the chest), and open the chest to get the first small key. Immediately when you enter the temple, kill the two Wolfos and then climb the vines to the east. Shoot the Skulltula (in the south east) with the Hookshot, then shoot the token using the Hookshot. However, if you jump forward far enough, instead of running in you'll fall through the floor! (It's probably a glitch.)Ĭlimb the vines to the right until you reach the top of the tree. Occasionally you will land on top of the tree, and from there you can jump down into the entryway. You should see a red dot when you aim at it (if you can't, move closer). Take out your hookshot and aim it at the tree hanging over the broken stairs. For instance, the large, white platform at the entrance to the Forest Temple is where you will be transported if you play the Minuet of Forest. The spot you will be transported to is a fairly large white platform with a marking of the Sage Medallion in the center. Sheik then appears out of nowhere, and teaches Link a melody that will transport the player to the Forest Temple entrance at any given time: The Minuet of Forest.įor now, Sheik will use a Deku Nut to disappear, but not for good, because for the rest of your quest, every time you are about to enter a new temple, Sheik will appear to teach you a song that will lead you to its entrance. Alternatively you can use Bombchus to defeat him from a safe distance.Īt the end of the meadow, there is a silence as Link walks to the tree stump where Saria sat, only to find that she isn't there. When you are behind him, attack him with your sword three times to receive a lot of Rupees upon his defeat. Run straight towards him, but dodge the tremors that he sends. He will ram his weapon into the ground to send a vibration that will knock you down and injure you. When you finish navigating the maze, you will find a much larger guard, a Club Moblin, much more menacing because it holds a club. If you play the Scarecrow's Song, you can bypass the maze by using the Hookshot on Pierre at the start. If you are an advanced player, use the walking sideways technique (which Navi describes to you before navigating the meadow) to check to see if it is safe to progress though a certain spot. When it does, sneak up behind it and use the Hookshot to kill it. To safely traverse the meadow, wait for a guard to pass you or change direction. This time, there is no top-down view when navigating the area. If they see you, they will ram you into the wall. Instead of Mad Scrubs populating the area, there are Moblin Guards, monstrous, dog-like guards patrolling the corridors.
Look around the corner to spot and kill the moblins without them seeing you. It even lets you skip the maze in the Sacred Forest Meadow if you want to do that. You can actually get to places faster this way. If Navi flies to a far away spot, try playing the song. He will become a stationary target that can be latched onto with the Hookshot. Now the wandering scarecrow Pierre will appear if he hears your song in some places. Bonooru will remember it and you will have the Scarecrow's Song to play. If you decided to go to Lake Hylia as a child and play a song to the scarecrow Bonooru, go back to Lake Hylia and play it again. To get through the Lost Woods to the Sacred Forest Meadow, go right, left, right, left, straight, left, right. If you play the song to hear Saria, she will tell you she is in the Forest Temple and needs your help. He will be convinced that you are a friend of Saria's, and he will let you pass. On your way to the Sacred Forest Meadow, you should eventually find Mido blocking your path. Because of this, the children have barricaded themselves in their homes. Upon entering the Kokiri Forest, you should find that it is severely overrun with monsters. It is a long forgotten dungeon, filled with undergrowth, monsters, and the remains of faded souls. Amongst the ruins of past and mysterious secrets lies the Forest Temple.
