    On the next floor, head east and south, just past the safe zone. Use your Boomerang to hit the switch past the gust of wind to the south, and the Phantom Eye in the corner. This disables the gust and dazes the Phantom Eye, allowing you to go past and kill it.

    When the third Phantom Eye is out of sight range, run for the safe zone in the middle west. Wait there to take out the final Eye, revealing a chest on the opposite end of the room.
  16. 16
    Run to the chest and grab the Power Gem.
  17. 17
    Go to the southwest corner of the room. East of there, dig up the dirt mound to reveal a rising gust of wind.

  23. 23
    Head there and grab the 30 seconds.
