The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Inside the Deku Tree

Getting the Fairy slingshot
Take note of the spider web one the floor, you'll need to use it later. Defeating the enemies around will yield Deku Nuts. Climb up the vine and head right, there will be a chest containing the map. After you get the map, head into the door up the path. Use your shield to reflect the nuts back at the monster. After you hit him once, he will get up and run away, chase him. He will tell you a secret in exchange for his life. You have no options, so he lives another day. In the next room, you will have to be quick. Jump across the platforms to get your Fairy Slingshot. After this, go ahead and shoot down the ladder directly in front of you.

Getting through the spider web
Now get to the chest where you got the map from and shoot the Skulltulas with your Slingshot. Make your way up the vines and head right. Ignore the big Skulltulas for now. Enter the door. Jump on the button near the lit torch to bring up 3 platforms. Jump on the platforms and make your way to the end of the room. Open the chest to find the compass. Jump down and use the vines to get to the beginning of the room. Equip a Deku stick and hold it in the lit torch. When the deku stick is lit walk to the lantern near the vines and light it. The closed door will open. Head through the door.

Walk towards one of three openings in the spiderweb. A big Skulltulas will come down from the ceiling. Strike it with your sword when it has his back pointed at you. Now you need to jump towards the floating recovery heart. If you do this correctly you will fall through the spiderweb.

Getting to the boss
On to the last and most fun part of this dungeon: the boss fight. But before you get to fight it there are still a few puzzles to solve.

Boss Strategy #1
Gohma is basically an over-sized spider with 1 eye. The eye is Gohma's weak spot but only when it's red, so basically this is what you have to do to defeat it:


 * 1) Wait till Gohma is on the ground and starts heading towards you.
 * 2) Once Gohma's eye is red shoot it with your Slingshot or use a Deku Nut to stun Gohma.
 * 3) Run up to Gohma and start slashing it's eye while it's on the ground and stunned. Keep slashing it as many times as you can.
 * 4) Gohma will now run off and start climbing up the wall. Keep an eye on Gohma and when it's eye turns red again quickly shoot it with your Slingshot. If you don't hit it when it's eye is red Gohma will drop down eggs and they will hatch into tiny little spiders so you will have to kill them.
 * 5) If Gohma drops eggs, just wait for Gohma to start heading towards you again and get it in the eye with the Slingshot or Deku Nut and start slashing again.
