Once you have the Goron Lullaby, you can proceed to the Shrine. You have to cross two gaps with the Goron Jump. At the start, curl then move forward until spikes form. Jump up the both ramps to reach the peak.
There are high winds that are pushing you away from the peak. Tatl will mention something hidden in the blizzard, which is revealed by the Lens of Truth. Use it to see what's causing the problem; there is a Goron Gatekeeper that's blocking access.
Play the lullaby on the drums to put him to sleep, and to safely cross the bridge to the temple.
Climb up the ramp to the left to enter the temple.
Snowhead temple
In the entrance, push the block forward as a goron, and go through the right door. Still in goron form, charge across the bridge. Revert to Link, and head up the stairs and open the chest for a map.
Head back down, and go through the west door and into the main shaft. Head west to the yellow-bordered door. pull the blocks from the south, and get a small key. Push the blocks all the way to the west to reveal a chest (which you can't obtain from here).
Return to the entrance, and open the west door. Get the compass from the chest, and bomb the west wall to get to the second floor.
Second floor
Shoot the icicles on the ceiling to reach the snow boulder. Smash it open and get the small key.
Past the south-east door, pound the yellow button as a goron, jump across as link, pound the green button as goron, pound the yellow platform as goron, climb the green platfrom as link, and exit to the north. You should reach the central shaft.
Jump across to the north, roll to the east, and jump to the west. Go through the door to fight a Wizrobe.
Hit the wizrobe just after it comes out of the teleporter. Later, it will create false images out of all four; it's true form looks slightly more opaque. When defeated, you will get the Fire Arrow.
With the new fire arrow, remember to do the following:
- In the room east of entrance, destroy the three monsters and melt the ice block. Get a small key here.
- Collect fairies accessible only with the fire arrow; these are described below.
Third/fourth floor
Roll to the side passage, and melt the staircase located there.
Head to the basement, and use the Deku flowers to reach the first floor. Light the three torches, and head to the newly unbarred door. Pound the switch. Head to the second floor by the east route, and go to the shaft. Punch the two icy floors.
Go to the third floor via the sloped ground, and punch the two other icy floors. (The platform to the right gives access to both.) Go across the central pillar and destroy the boulders to reach the fourth floor. Jump across to the deku flower and take it to the side ledge.
You will fight another Wizrobe. This time, he will teleport away if you get too close. Switch to the bow and look for him as a red dot on the map and attack him.
Goht
Goht is the Masked Mechanical Monster that will run around in circles within the arena.
Use the Goron form and curl into a ball. Ram him with the spiked until he dies. If you don't persue him or if he gets too far away, he will either turn and charge you or launch a semi-guided lightning bolt.
When he is hit, he will fire a lightning bolt at you.
As he takes damage, he will begin to kick up boulders, drop stalactites, and throw bombs. However, he will collapse from time to time if he takes damage, allowing you to inflict significant damage.
