Walkthrough
- 1Begin by bombing the rock in the center of the room to reveal a switch. Step on it to spawn a chest containing the Dungeon Map.
- 2Shoot the two cow heads in the room. One spawns a chest with a Blue Rupee, the other opens the path forward.
- 3Take the elevator platform down. Shoot the cow's head in the water with the slingshot to spawn a chest with the Compass.
- 4Step on the nearby switch to remove a membrane, then take the elevator back up and enter the newly opened door.
- 5Chase after Ruto into the hole she fell into. Talk to her until she sits down, allowing you to carry her.
- 6Step on the yellow switch to activate a water geyser. Place Ruto on the blue switch to open a door.
- 7Before leaving, grab the Bombchus from the chest in this room if needed. Beware of Lizalfos in the corridor.
- 8In the next room, open the chest for Deku Nuts. Bomb the mouth of the Like Like to prevent it from eating your shield.
- 9Defeat the Stingers in the water. Step on the switch to raise the water level and reach the chest containing the Boomerang. Note that a Gold Skulltula is in this room and will require a return trip.
- 10Exit to the central elevator room and head back up through the north door. Use a Bombchu or a well-timed bomb to destroy the rocks on the ceiling.
- 11Shoot the cow head to disable the membrane behind the wriggling block. Use the Boomerang to stun the wriggling block and slip past to the next door.
- 12Take the left path, then the right. Shoot the two switches, wait for the Like Likes to fall, and defeat them. Open the chest for a Deku Stick.
- 13Use the Deku Stick to light the torch and burn the cobwebs blocking the left path.
- 14Enter the left path and use the Boomerang to hit the tentacle's vulnerable part when it lowers. Repeat until defeated.
- 15Head back to the fork and take the middle path. Defeat the Lizalfos and bomb the rocks at the end to reveal a blue pressure switch.
- 16Go down the right fork and place a crate on the blue switch to open the door.
- 17Inside, defeat the red tentacle.
- 18Go down the right fork again, then take the left at the second branch. Clear the room of Tailpasaran enemies. Bomb the rock in the corner for a Skulltula.
- 19Step on the middle switch to activate a water geyser. Time your throw to hit the rock on the ceiling, revealing Gold Skulltula #27. Collect the token with your Boomerang.
- 20Exit and head through the final unexplored door to find a green tentacle. Defeat it.
- 21Return to the room with holes in the floor and drop down. Head to the southeast room. Use L-Target to find and defeat the invisible enemies. A ledge will spawn, allowing you to reach Gold Skulltula #28. Step on the switch in the water to exit.
- 22Return to the previous room, pick up Ruto, and use the water geyser to reach the eastern door.
- 23Head in the opposite direction of the Bigocto miniboss. Use your Boomerang to stun him, then perform a jump attack on his glowing green spot. Repeat until defeated.
