Walkthrough
- 1Head north, through jars, and up the path to the right. Bomb the wall at the dead end, then proceed forward until the floor drops.
- 2Go right through the door and back around to the entrance. Hit the switch on the right, then quickly return to the first dropping floor area and cross the newly formed bridge.
- 3Go right and up to a room with two Stalfos. Defeat them to extend a bridge north. Cross it, step on the switch to light a torch, then return.
- 4Step on the switch next to the large stone door, proceed through, and return to the entrance.
- 5Take the path north to the left. Kill the Keese, then return. Place a bomb beside the switch to activate it and reach the bridge in time, or attempt the glitch to make the bridge permanent.
- 6Cross the bridge, head north into a room with two Stalfos. Defeat them to extend another bridge north. Cross it and step on the switch to light the other torch and lower spikes. Proceed downstairs.
- 7Downstairs, defeat the sword Stalfos to the right, then continue south across the spiked log bridge. Go left and up the stairs. Avoid the walking shells and continue up the stairs to the second floor.
- 8Go around and through the door. Kill the Green Rupee Like-Like, then head left past another to find a chest with a Ruto Crown.
- 9Return to the start of the mini-maze, go down and around, killing another Green Rupee Like-Like. Head up the stairs, jump down left, and continue up to the next floor.
- 10In the room with two Stalfos and a Green Rupee Like-Like, defeat all three enemies to obtain The Hammer.
- 11Return downstairs. Use The Hammer to smash rusty switches. In the room with the launching device, stand on the feet and swing your hammer at the button to launch yourself up. Repeat twice more.
- 12On the platform with three shells, use The Hammer to smash them onto their backs, then defeat them. Jump down the ledge to the right and head back down the stairs.
- 13Downstairs, use The Hammer to defeat the shells. Hit the rusty switch, go through the door, and down the stairs. Go left and up the stairs, then push the boulder to the right to destroy another boulder.
- 14Go down the stairs, across the log bridges, and defeat the two sword Stalfos in the next room. Head through the north door and down the stairs.
- 15On the next floor, smash the two rusty switches to start a spiked log rolling. Follow it left, then go down. Step on the moving block and ride it across, hitting rusty switches along the way. Defeat any Stalfos by hammering them.
- 16Once all switches are pressed, a spiked log will roll, allowing progress. Go down and left for a chest with a Courage Gem, then back up for a chest with a small key. Go up the stairs to your right.
- 17Back upstairs, step on the switch to lower the stone door and proceed through. Go north and back across the first log bridge, then head through the locked door.
Tips
- If you have trouble making it across the first bridge in time, you can place a bomb beside the switch to delay its activation.
- A glitch exists where standing on the first bridge as it retracts can make subsequent bridges not have a timer.
- The Hammer is used to smash rusty switches and flip shells onto their backs for easier defeat.
- The spiked log bridges do not harm Link.
- The walking shells can be avoided until The Hammer is obtained.
