[edit] Garo's Mask

If you have not done so already, you must head to the horse ranch and race the Gorman brothers.

[edit] Ikana Valley

Ikana Canyon is the land of the dead, where unrestful spirits head.

To proceed to the canyon, you need to use Epona to jump over two fences, equip Garo's Mask and approach the cliff. When you do, a tree will appear which you can hook shot. Dodge boulders and the enemies to reach the canyon.

[edit] Ikana Graveyard

In front of the giant skeletion, play the sonata of awakening and run up after the giant skeletion. The skeletion runs quickly, and you won't be able to catch up on it through speed alone. Find a way to slow it down, such as using fire arrows to help stun it. If you defeat him, you can get the Captain's Hat.

With this mask, you can order a grave to be opened on the first night. Jump in the hole.

If you are in the correct grave, you should be able to jump to a doorway. Fight the bats using the spin attack (or near the end, a ranged attack) to receive a chest of 50 rupees. THen, light the three torches to unbar the door. Fight the enemy, and a drape should open. Flat will appear to tell his story and teach the Song of Storms

[edit] Ikana Canyon

When wearing Garo's mask, you will be given hints on how to proceed through this section, as well as the situation.

The canyon is blocked by a river. To cross it, freeze the two octopods and jump across them. Hookshot to the two trees, and to skip repeating the tasks in the future, strike the owl statue just behind the final tree.

When you enter the ghost town wearing Garo's mask, you will encounter Garo's that will attack you. When you defeat them, they will give you a hint on how to proceed.

Reach the Spring Water cave at the top of the ghost town. Encounter Shap, and play the song of storms. His curse will be broken, and the water will begin to flow. This begins to power the music house to disperse the Gibdos surrounding it, and unlocking the door.

Your next stop is to head into the house when the girl heads to the well (every second hour). Head downstairs to see a half-Gibdo; play the Song of Healing to dispel the curse and collect the Gibdo mask. Use the mask to enter the well.

[edit] Well

When you enter the well, the doors are barred and guarded by Gibdos. To pass through, you need an item that they demand.

• First room: Blue potion (north) or 5 magic beans (east)
• 1 East: 10 deku nuts (east), or a bottled fish (north)
• 2 East: 10 bombs (north), or hot spring water (east)
• 1 North: Fishh (west), or water (north)
• 1 East 1 North: Bug (west), or a big ghost (north)
• 2 North: Bug (east or north)
• 1 East 2 North: Milk

Item locations:

• Hot spring water is located 1 north and 1 west.
• Milk is located 3 east.
• Big Poe is located 2 east, 1 north.

In the final room in the north east, light all four torches and get the Mirror Shield. Use the Mirror shield to reflect the light beams onto the sun icons on the two walls.

[edit] Ancient Castle of Ikana

With the mirror shield, you can now use a small hole beside the castle's front gate to remove the sun block. The light reflected by the mirror shield will also destroy some enemies.

If you do not already have a powder keg, purchase one from Clock Town.

Enter the castle, and head through the left door (after melting the left pillar switch). Strike the crystal switch, switch to Deku form and dive into a Deku Flower near the raised switch and wait. Once the ceiling reaches the ground, jump out to force it back up. Dive in again, and reach the switch. Revert to normal form to unbar the door.

In the next room, use the lens of truth to see how to reach the switch in the nearby corner. Stand on it, and shoot down the Skulltulas. Jump across to the other side of the room and pass through the door. Note that falling down will cause the room to reset, requiring you to press the switch again.

Proceed up the stairs. From the roof, you have access to a Piece of Heart to the side of the castle by shooting a switch and using Deku Flowers, but you will have to go through the castle again. To proceed, climb and walk along the outer ledge to the front. Dive into a deku flower, and reach the floor switch to open a hold in the ceiling.

Return into the castle, and take the right door, by shooting the appropriate wall switch. Use the mirror shield to reflect light onto the sun block, and pass through to the next room to fight a Wizrobe.

As with the other Wizrobes, you need to hit him when he exits his stand. However, he will return if you are too close when he is coming out. When he is wounded, he will create decoys to distract you; however, his correct location is shown as a red dot on the minimap.

Head up the stairs and put a powder keg in the cracked floor in the middle. Jump into the hole and walk into the main corridor to speak with the king.

To defeat the king, you need burn the curtains blocking the light, knock down the two guards with your sword, and reflect the light onto the solders. Repeat the same procedure for the king, however, he will occasionally split his head from the main body, allowing him to attack even when you are standing in the lit area.

Once defeated, he will teach you the Elegy of Emptiness:

Proceed to the stone tower.

[edit] Places of Interest

• The deku scrub will sell blue potions for 100 rupees each. He is located on the right, before the river. If given the Ocean Land Title, you will receive 200 Rupees.
• In the Ikana Graveyard, you may sometimes order the wrong grave opened (e.g. on the second or final night). In this case, you can still reach a piece of heart. After jumping in, use the lens of truth to reveal a hidden door. In the next room, monsters and some floors are invisible, and need the lens of truth to see. At the end, you should see a small room with a weak wall that can be bombed. Blast it open and enter the final room. Battle the Iron Knuckle to obtain a piece of heart.

[edit] Easter eggs

• On the south-east pillar in Ikana Castle, there is a paper airplane.
