Walk to the right and you will see a door with a Forest Medallion symbol above it. Enter the door. Walk to the middle of the room where the torches are. Defeat the Wolfos and a small chest will appear. The chest contains a blue rupee. Stand in the middle of the torches and use Din’s fire to light them. Look above the barred door to see another torch. Quickly, shoot it with a fire arrow to light it. This will make the barred door open. Enter the door. Now you will be in a room with several small platforms and silver rupees in it. Equip the hover boots and walk to the left a little. When the fan starts to blow, walk out to get the silver rupee. The fan will blow you to a platform near the middle of the room with another silver rupee on it. While the fan is not blowing, walk with the hover boots to the platform with the button on it and push the button. This will cause a pillar with a hookshot circle on it to appear on the platform behind you. Hookshot near the top of it and stand on it to get the rupee. Now throw a bomb at the Beamos and walk over to the platform that it was on. Get the rupees on the two platforms that you can easily reach and then to the door. Wait until the fan on the right side of the door has stopped and get the rupee on the platform in front of it. This will make the barred to open. Enter the door. There is a strange orb surrounded by a green barrier. Shoot the orb with a light arrow. You will see Saria and she will tell you that the forest barrier is dispelled.

You will be timed to push the ice blocks to where you can get up onto the ledge with the red ice on it.
