The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past/Ice Lake: Difference between revisions

'''''Ganon exercised his chilling powers by causing the lake in the southwast to freeze and by creating a storm cloud to cover the area with snow.  It serves adventurers of this region well to wear gear that will protect them from the elements.'''''

;Visit 1:When you arrive on this floor, you will be in the simple room on the left.  Two green Zols will rise from the floor to attack, but they pose little threat.  Walk down to the lower left corner and step on the tile to open the door on the right.  Walk through to the next room, and you reach a four way intersection.  You can go in any direction but the direction you were moving when you entered the room.  Start by pushing the center block right, and travelling south.  In this icy room along the bottom, you will meet the Pentagators.  Pentagators like to get a bit of momentum going before diving along the ice head first and colliding with whatever gets in their way.  Defeat them with your sword and open the treasure chest to reveal the [[Image:Zelda ALttP item Compass.png]] '''Compass'''.  When you're done, return to the room above.  Now push the center block up, and head right, stepping on a tile which opens the shutter doors along the way.  In this room, you will have to face Pentagators, a Bubble, and a "Bunny Beam" hidden beneath one of the skulls.  The other skull hides the switch which you need to step on to open the doors.  [[Image:Zelda_ALttP_bombing_switch.png|thumb|left|Bomb the Crystal Switch and run to the other side]] Running into the far right room won't get you anything at this time, so return to the left.  As you go to push the center block left, you'll step on that same tile again, and now the door above will be open and available to you.  Enter the top room.  There are four red Baris to contend with in this room.  But the real puzzle in this room has to do with the Crystal Switch.  Your goal is to place a bomb in the center of the room and fall into the pit that it creates.  Obviously, when you enter, you'll need to hit the switch to lower the blue fence blocks.  But in doing so, you'll block the pit with the orange blocks.  You need to come up with a method of triggering the Crystal Switch while standing behind the blue blocks…something of a delayed response.  One item that you have that has a delayed response is bombs.  If you place a bomb near the switch, and run back to the other side, you should clear the blue blocks well before the bomb explodes, causing the blue blocks to rise and the orange blocks to fall, providing you with access to bomb the floor and fall to the floor below.
