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. <b>IMPORTANT:</b> 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.

Continue along the passageway, and instead of continuing straight into the water, use your newly acquired Longshot to reach the platform to the left (approach the end of the upper platform you enter on and aim left with the Longshot) and then go through the door, where you will find immediately to your right an enemy. Defeat it with your sword and use the longshot on the opposite target to cross the gap. Don't touch the crystal in this room. Use the iron boots to pass through the waterlogged tunnels ahead of you into the main room. Float to the top level of the room (the high water level allows you to do this).

Float to the top level of the room (the high water level allows you to do this) and alight the square platform.


Return to the room where you met Princess Ruto (bottom floor, east side with two torches at the entrance) and float all the way to the top. Then, lower the water all the way to the bottom. Jump down and go back to the main room. Enter the tower in the middle. Go straight and turn around. Shoot your longshot at the target and get onto the closest platform with the Triforce tile. Here play Zelda's Lullaby to raise the water to mid-level. Grab the Gold Skulltula at top and exit the tower. Look for the passage covered by a gate. There is a target behind the gate which is reachable with the longshot. Shoot the yellow eye switch to make the gate disappear for a short amount of time. Then, quickly use your longshot on the target to get past the gate. Inside the passage is a large red block. Push it as far as possible (it will fall into place). Turn right and get the key from the chest. Now, where's the exit, you ask? Walk to the opposite wall and use the longshot to get out of the hole. You will now be at the top of the tower, on the outer wall. Return to the main area.
Equip the iron boots and return to the room where you met Princess Ruto (bottom floor, east side with two torches at the entrance; beware when traversing the central square platform as some enemies have respawned) and float all the way to the top (do not enter any holes in the wall on the way up etc.). Once you have reached the top of the tunnel, play Zelda's Lullaby in front of the triforce symbol to your right to lower the water all the way to the bottom. Jump down and go back to the main room (Link will scream on the way down, but the descent will not hurt you).
 
Enter the exposed tower door in the middle on the bottom floor (beware, as you will be met with two spiked mine enemies and a spider, which it is advisable to defeat before progressing). Cross the two square platforms and turn around. You should see a target to your right. Use the longshot to get to it and play Zelda's Lullaby once again to the triforce on the wall in front of you; this will raise the water to mid-level.
 
Climb onto the newly raised platform. Use the Longshot to defeat the Gold Skulltula to the top left of your vision and collect the token, before jumping across the gap to leave the tower. Upon leaving the tower, be aware again of any roaming enemies (they often respawn on all levels of the main room, so be careful). A passage blocked by a gate should be on the opposite side to which you left the central tower. Find this passgae and shoot an arrow into the golden eye below it. <b>IMPORTANT: This will open the gate above it on a timer. You will need to quickly equip the longshot and use it to drag yourself to the target behind the now-opened gate. If you do not reach the target in time, you can shoot the eye to try again. Your Longshot is more than capable of grabbing the target.</b>
 
Follow the passage to find a large red block. Push it as far as possible (it will fall into place). Turn right and get the key from the chest. Walk through the passage opposite and use the longshot on the above target to get out of the hole (it is best to stand in the centre of the end of the passage for this). Follow the passgae to the very top floor of the main area.


Put on the iron boots and sink to the bottom and go through the passage at the northern part of the map. Walk down this hall and either Longshot to get up or remove the boots and float up. Swim up to and climb on the platform. Use your longshot to get to the door across the spikes. Enter the locked door.
