When Dark Link is finally defeated, the illusion in the room will vanish, and you can head on to the next room. This room has a treasure chest inside. Open and you'll be rewarded with the Longshot. This is a Hookshot that can extend twice as far, making many more Hookshot targets reachable. It also makes a few Gold Skulltula Tokens in range to collect within the temple.

Once you have the longshot, go behind the chest and you will see a blue block on the ground. Play the song of time to make it disappear. Jump into the water and swim through the small river. There are vortexes in water that suck you into the ground in a few areas. Use the iron boots to avoid the vortexes; you can avoid them without the iron boots however utilising them is the quickest and most effective way by far to pass the first three.

The first vortex is easy enough to get round; simply jump in with the iron boots equipped far in advance of the vortex and it won't suck you in. Continue along the path until you find the second vortex. To cross the second vortex you will need to go around the left side of it (facing downstream), following an underwater rock path. If you follow the path, this should be easy enough. After crossing the second vortex you will see the third vortex; just swim past it while keeping to the right (facing downstream) along the rockface. The fourth vortex is slightly more difficult to pass. At times it may seem there is no chance of escape, but keep pushing outwards with the control stick. The best strategy is to go round the right side of the vortex with the iron boots equipped, and push out until you get to the very edge. After you get to the edge you will be pulled back into the current, so timing is essential. As soon as you reach the edge, switch to the Kokiri boots and swim towards the island to the northeastern side of your view (it should have two pots on it). Climb onto the island by pushing the control stick (and thus, Link), against it. If you find yourself trapped in the fifth vortex, push against the current and try to escape it by moving towards the aforementioned island (keep close to the rockface).

From the island, you should be able to see a separate small square island attached to the rockface, between the fourth and fifth vortices. There is little margin for error here. Don the Kokori Boots and tap B repeatedly to swim towards the tiny island between the fourth and fifth vortices. You should not get sucked into these if you approach the small square island correctly and carefully, but if you do get absorbed into them, follow previous instructions for escaping the respective vortices. You can also use the longshot to pull yourself towards a target on the ceiling directly on top of the square island.

Look around for a golden eye (it will be set in a diamond shape, which should be on your right if you are facing the locked grate). Hit this with an arrow. '''IMPORTANT:''' Once you hit this, a timer will start. Immediately after hitting the golden eye with an arrow, turn to your left and jump to the newly unlocked platform, before the timer runs out. It is a short enough jump to make without the assistance of the longshot etc. Open the chest and retrieve its contents. If you do not reach the chest in time, simply repeat the steps outlined in this paragraph until you do.
