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. Try to dodge them or use the iron boots to get around them. Either one works.
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.  


When you have avoided three whirlpools there should be a platform (use the iron boots to get away from the vortex, then take them off and swim to the edge). From the platform with two pots, look up for a target for the Longshot. Get onto the platform and then look around for a yellow eye. Hit it with an arrow and then use your longshot to get past the now opened gate. Longshot to the chest that's in there before the time runs out. If the time runs out just hit the eye with an arrow again. If you ever fall into one of the whirlpools it will take you to where you got the longshot and you will lose one heart.
The first vortex is easy enough to get round; simply jump in with the iron boots on well ahead 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 (Link's) left side of it, 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. Keep to (Link's) right hand side and you shouldn't get sucked into this one (simply follow the rockface round). 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).


Get the treasure to receive a small key. The gate will be closed behind you so go forward to the ledge. Instead of falling into the water, use the Longshot to reach the platform to the left and then go back to the main room. If you don't remember where you are just simply use your map. (The real cheap way to do this is to save and then turn off the game. Then re-start your record and you will be at the beginning of the temple and you will have the longshot and the key, but this takes just as long as walking back through.)
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 iron boots and approach the island along the narrow plate of rock betwen 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. Once you have crossed the narrow plate and are next to the small square platform (while still underwater), take off your iron boots. You should float to the top (next to the small square of land). Push the control stick towards this square to alight it.


Once you are in the main room just go 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.
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).
 
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.


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.
