Once you are inside, go forward and use the longshot to get past the gap. It looks like a dead end, but it isn't. Just put on the Lens of Truth, and go past the wall. In this room turn left and put on the Lens of Truth to reveal another fake wall. Go through this wall and open the door at the end of the corridor. You will enter a hallway that wraps around in a circle with eyes in the walls. Now keep to your right and follow the path around, entering the first fake door you find on the right hand side. Enter the door and kill the one Re-Dead and two Keese in this room to get the '''Dungeon Map'''. Leave the room and head right again, entering through the next fake wall, which leads into another room identical to the one you were just in. At the end of this room is a fake wall with a door behind it. Enter the door to get to the next room containing the Deadhand.

When you've pointed the statue at the right skull, they will all light up, and the door at the end of the chasm will open. Put on the Hover Boots and run straight as far as the boots will take you to get to the doorway. Go through it and down the passage, where you'll reach a Big Beamos. This one requires two bombs to  

destroy instead of one. Once you destroy it Navi will go green in the center of the room. Play the Song of Storms and a fairy will appear.

Eventually, you reach a corridor with falling guillotine blades. Keep a close eye on the blades and time your runs through them. Some are a little faster than others in the temple.  

This is the giant spike trap room. Once you come in, a sign will mention a stone umbrella. You'll need it to get past these spikes, as a foolish effort to run under them will cost you one heart. Put on your Lens of Truth and look to your right. There is a stone block in the wall. Pull it out, and then push it towards the falling spikes. It will catch the spikes and let you pass under them unharmed. Once it is holding both of the spikes so they can't hit you, explore the second jail cell to find a Gold Skulltula. Then, go around to the other side and pull the block as far as you can take it. It now serves as a bridge onto the spikes. Get on top of it and walk onto the top of the spikes it's by. Across the room on the roof of a jail cell is a switch. Use your Hover Boots to get there and press the switch. Although they are moving and slanted on top, you can walk across the top of the spikes.  After the switch is pressed, a treasure chest will fall. Hook onto it with your Longshot and open it for a Small Key, then leave the room. There is another chest with a Blue Rupee on another cell roof, and some Recovery Hearts in the first jail cell, but they aren't really worth the effort.   

This next room is a narrow corridor filled with danger. Big Skulltula constantly drop down from above in this room. Not only that, blowing fans threaten to send you flying. Use your Iron Boots to make it through the strong winds the fans are making, or wait for them to stop and use your Kokiri Boots to run though. Go past the first fan and the spike trap, and watch for Big Skulltula in the corridor as well. Now, you'll have to cross a pit with a fan on the other side. Use either the Hover Boots or the Longshot on a wooden beam above the other side to get across. Then, you'll encounter more fans and Big Skulltula. When you get past them, you'll reach the end of the corridor, which will have a dropoff and a fan above. Jump down. Finally, you'll reach a part of the room with fans on both sides and one straight platform in the middle. Use your Iron Boots to get across. You don't need to enter the room ahead. There is a Fake Eye Switch at the end that will shoot fire at you. To make it stop, blind it with an arrow when it's open.

Once you've moved the block into place, climb up the ladder and jump onto the ship.  Play Zelda's Lullaby on the Triforce symbol on the ship to make it start moving. Keep an eye on your map in the corner. The moment you get the ship moving, a Stalfos will drop down onto the ship. After a while, so will a second one. Stave them off and          , or lead them right off of the ship, the easiest way is to walk off the edge and hang on. Whatever you do, don't jump into the murky water below, or you'll end up back at the start of the room.

When you enter this room, you will need to use the Lens of Truth. The room is actually filled with hidden walls that form a maze. The Lens of Truth will reveal them. Be very alert while you go through the maze, because a horde of Floormasters patrol the floor. However, if you turn the Lens of Truth off, you can see where the Floormasters are and can even kill them through the wall! The maze leads to three other doors besides the one you came from. You'd be smart to cast Farore's Wind here. This will mark the exit and get you out of trouble later.

Go through the maze and use the Compass and Dungeon Map to find a door in the south corner of the room.

In this next room, the door will lock behind you. You've ventured into a frightening torture chamber where many poor souls were whipped.

 

If you look around, no enemy can be seen in this room, or so it seems. Put on the Lens of Truth and you'll see a Floormaster. Don't take the lens off, or else it will disappear. Slash it to make it split into its smaller versions and kill them to make a chest with a small key inside appear. The doors will unlock, and you can move on.

Return to the maze and guide yourself to a door in the north corner of the room. Go in and you'll face this dungeon's ultimate deathtrap: two walls covered with spikes, and they're closing in to get you! It may seem like there isn't a way to destroy these walls, but there is. The walls are made of shoddy, rotting wood, and are very flammable. Use Din's Fire to light the wood on fire and destroy the walls. However, you'll find two ReDead in the room's corners. Play the Sun's Song to stun them and then kill them. There are two chests in this room; the chest to the west holds a Blue Rupee, and the chest to the East is the Boss Key.

{{sidebar|title=Rupee Reward!|width=350px||contents= If you stick around in the west corner room of the maze after killing the Gold Skulltula inside, you can destroy the three skull pots spinning around with Bomb Flowers. Once all three are destroyed, a pile of Rupees will spill out! You just hit the jackpot!}}

Go out of this room and out of the maze room completely (through the door in the east corner, or warp back to it to save time) so that you're back at the ledge where the ship sank. If you look across the ledge, you'll see another ledge on the other side of a big pit. The only problem is, you can't reach it. Take out the Fairy Bow and look around. You'll find a gargoyle statue with Bomb Flowers under it. Shoot one with an arrow to make the rest explode, which will break the gargoyle statue and cause it to topple across the pit. You now have a bridge to cross the pit. Make your way to the other ledge, and you'll find a locked door. However, you have a way of replenishing health if you must. There is another ruined gargoyle statue (you probably saw its head buried in the dirt earlier) with two Recovery Hearts. Use the Song of Time to reveal a time block and get them. Need more? Play the Scarecrow's Song here to get Pierre's assistance. Hook onto him and get the hearts here as well. Now, you are ready to open the locked door. Go inside and your journey through the shadows will near its end.

{{OoT Skulltula|title=The North Door|width=250px||contents=The last door in the maze room in the west corner has three spinning skull pots inside. Like before, on the left side wall next to the pots is a Gold Skulltula.}}

 

[[Image:OOT Bongobongo.gif|thumb|left|Artwork of the evil Bongo Bongo.]]

This is a boss that can be dangerous. If you have a Fairy or Red Potion with you, they'll come in handy. If you have the Biggoron's Sword, things will be much easier. You fight Bongo Bongo on his giant bongo drum, which is a challenge. Wear the Hoverboots to avoid being bounced around too much by the beat of the drum. Be sure to be aware at the start of the battle and after you attack his eye, because he will turn his hands around then when he stays still he will attack you. First you will see his two hands, which will be beating on the drum constantly while the rest of him vanishes. His hands try to swat, punch, and grab you; so make sure you keep an eye on both hands so that one doesn't get you by surprise. Try your best to not get knocked off the bongo, since there's a pool of sinister poison down below. If you get thrown off, climb up the side of the drum to get back up. You have to shoot both of the hands with arrows or the Longshot. This can be difficult because you're thrown up and down by the beating of the drum, so the best time to get them is when they try to hit you. Once you have shot both hands, activate the Lens of Truth and you will see Bongo Bongo's face. {{control|Z-target|L-target|L-target}} and hit his eye with an arrow or the Longshot. Be sure to do this fast, or else he'll try to ram you off the side. Then run up to him and hit him with your sword as many times as possible. An alternate tactic is to get the Ice Arrows before facing Bongo Bongo and use them on one of his hands. The monster will be forced to smash his frozen hand free with the other one and its eye will be open while he does this, leaving it open to attack as well. Another method is to do a spin attack when he charges at you, this will hit the eye and stun him.  

Once you've given Bongo Bongo the boot, he will pound his drum one last time and melt into poison. Don't worry, the poison evaporates. Get the Heart Container

[[Image:OOT_Shadow_Medallion.png|right]]

You will be transported to the Chamber of the Sages after stepping into the blue light. There you will be re-acquainted with Impa, who has become the Sage of Shadow. After a few compliments, she tells you that you will meet the princess again soon, and she will explain everything. She grants you the '''<font color="Purple">Shadow Medallion</font>''' , which contains her power.

*'''Market''': If you haven't already, go to the Treasure Box Shop in Hyrule (It is only open at night.) The game costs ten rupees. You go through each room guessing which of two chests has the key required to get you into the next room. (You have a 1 out of 32 chance of winning.) Now, you can use the Lens of Truth to see through the chests and get to the piece of heart at the end with ease.

A secret trick is to open all the chests on the right when you first play. They might all contain keys.

==Another Hylian Shield!==

If you do not have the Hylian Shield yet, you have an opportunity to get one. Inside the well is a room with a Fire Keese and Beamos. Go into the door behind them and there will be a Like-Like inside. Kill it to get Rupees, and open the chest to get a Hylian Shield.
