The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Ganon's Castle: Difference between revisions

Zelda reveals that she wanted to help you on your journey because it was her fault for causing everything to happen, and that she is the Seventh Sage, the one destined to become the leader of the Six Sages. Zelda then gives Link a gift, the '''Light Arrows'''[[File:OoT_Item_LightArrow.png]], which can penetrate through darkness. She tells you that you and she will now finally defeat Ganondorf. However, suddenly the Temple of Time starts to rumble, and Ganondorf's voice can be heard, commending Zelda on her seven years of hiding. Zelda is encased in a crystal prison, and carted away. Ganondorf tells Link that if he wants to save Zelda, he'll have to come to his castle.

Shoot the torch on the right (it might be hard to see, but it's there) with a Fire Arrow. Alternatively, if you don't have Fire Arrows, you need to be fast - Longshot across to the torch and use Din's Fire, then quickly Longshot to the Like Like on the other side (The Longshot cursor disappears when you aim at the Like Like but this is just a trick, if you aim toward the top of the Like Like you will be able to Longshot across). When you do this, a series of platforms will appear. If the torch goes out, they'll disappear. Then run to cross to the main platform, and kill the Like Like if needed, but be careful not to hit it so that you won't make things hard on yourself. There's another torch by the door, so shoot it as well. This will cause another set of temporary platforms to appear, BUT you need to use your Lens of Truth to see the new path. Alternatively, use your Hover Boots with two well-timed attack rolls to cross to the next platform. Then head downwards using them to find another switch. A chest will drop and the platforms will remain in place. If there's enough time after hitting the switch, head back to the platform on the ice platforms. Otherwise, longshot to the chest that appeared. You'll find the ever-important '''Golden Gauntlets'''[[File:OoT Item GoldenGauntlet.png]]. They are twice as strong as the Silver Gauntlets and allow you to lift incredibly heavy objects. Then use the Lens of Truth, which will reveal the path to the torch to the exit, and another path to the exit itself. To open the door, use the Lens of Truth to the switch that is on the left side of the locked door, and use the megaton hammer to push in the switch. Destroy the barrier with the light arrows, and Impa will appear to get rid of the Shadow Barrier. Now, go and leave the castle to find the final Great Fairy's Fountain.

vanishes, revealing the chest with the '''Boss Key'''.
