The Shadow Temple
Once in the Shadow Temple, walk down the path until you come to a large gap. Notice the hookshot circle
on the other side of it. Hookshot over the gap and continue on the path until it ends. Walk through the
picture at the end of the path. (You can use the Lens of Truth to see through it if you want to) You will
come to a large room with lots of pictures on the walls and a weird statue and torches in the middle of it.
Walk to the left. Go past the first picture and on to the next. Walk through it to find a door. Enter the
door. Walk to the end of the hallway. Walk through the wall at the end. You will be in a maze of strange
pictures. Walk to the right and use the Lens of Truth to find a hidden doorway in the right side of the hall.
Go through the doorway and you will see a door. Enter the door. Kill the Redead and the Keeses. Once
you defeat them, a large chest will appear. Open the chest to receive the dungeon map. Exit the room by
the door that you came from. Walk back through the wall that you came through. Walk to your right and
use the Lens of Truth to find a hidden doorway that has pots on either side of it. Walk through the
doorway and through the secret wall in front of you. You will come to another maze like the one you were
in before. Follow the path to the right and use the Lens of Truth to find a hidden doorway on the opposite
side of the room. Walk into the doorway to find a door. Enter the door. You will come into a small room
with a Dead Hand in it. Defeat the Dead Hand to make a large chest appear. Open the chest to receive the
Hover Boots. Exit the room by the door that you came from. Use the Lens of Truth to find the doorway on
the opposite side of the room that you came from. Walk through it and back into the maze that you were in
before. Use the Lens of Truth to find a doorway directly across the room. You will see the door that you
came from to get into this maze. Enter the door. Walk back through the picture to get back to the room
with the weird statue and torches in the middle. Use the Lens of Truth to find the torch with the real skull
on top of it. (It should be the one right in front of you) Now walk to the statue in the middle of the room.
Push the square on the side of it until it lines up with the torch with the real skull on it. This will cause a
gate to open on the other side of the large gap. Walk up to the edge of the gap and stand directly across
from the statue on the other side. Equip the hover boots and run towards the statue. You should catch on
to the edge of its tongue if you ran fast enough. Walk through its mouth and down the hill in front of you.
Bomb the Beamos in the middle of the room. Use the Lens of Truth to find a hidden doorway to your right.
Walk through the doorway to find a door. Enter the door. Kill the mummies to make a large chest appear.
Open the chest to receive the compass. Exit the room by the door that you came from. Walk through the
wall again and back into the room with the Beamos. Run to the opposite side of the room. Use the Lens of
Truth to find another hidden doorway. Walk through the doorway to find a door. Enter the door. You will
be in a large room with a spinning blade in the middle of it. Try to get all of the silver rupees without
getting hit by the blades. Once you get all of them, a gateway will open. Go through it to find a small
chest. Open the chest to receive a small key. Now walk back into the room with the spinning blade. Walk
to the door on the left side of the room. Enter the door. Walk through the wall in front of you. You will be
back in the room with the Beamos. Bomb the doorway to your left to reveal a locked door. Enter the door.
Walk down the hallway and watch out for the Skulltulas that will jump down from the ceiling. When you
get to the end of the hall, you will see several blades going up and down. Walk to the ledge and down onto
the path with the blades. Walk under the first blade, kill the Skulltula, and walk under the second.
Continue down the hallway until you come out into a large room. Walk to the end of the path and walk
over the gap with your hover boots. Walk under the first blade and across the gap behind it. Now walk
under the second blade and keep walking until you fall onto the path behind it. Walk under the third blade
and over to the square surface behind it. A Stalfos will jump down in front of you. You can either kill him
or knock him off of the square, either way, get rid of him. Now stand on the right edge of the surface. You
will see a moving platform. Wait until it gets as low as it will go and walk toward it as far as you can.
Now ride up on it until you get near the peak of its ascent. Run off of it toward the Beamos and the Spiky
Squares. Once you fall onto the platform, collect all of the silver rupees. One of them is under the
Beamos, so you’ll have to blow him up. Once you get all of them, a gate will open. Walk through the
doorway and down the path until you reach the end of it. Walk into the room and use the Lens of Truth to
find a block hidden in the right side of the wall. Pull the block out onto the picture on the floor. Now push
it forward under the moving platform with the spikes on the bottom of it. Continue to push it down the
path so you won’t get killed by the spikes. When you’ve pushed it as far as it will go, walk around to the
other side of it. Climb on top of it and get onto the surface on your left. From there, wait until the spiky
platform falls onto the block. Walk onto it and over to the surface on the other side. To your left is a
button. Press the button to make a small chest fall from the sky. Jump down onto the spiky platform to
your left when it hits the ground. Wait until it gets really high and jump over to the surface in front of you
with the small chest on it. Open the chest to receive a small key. Now get out of the room by the doorway
to your right. Walk back down the hall until you get back to the big room that you were in previously.
Walk across the surface without getting hit and you will see a narrow pathway branching off of it. Walk
down the path until you come to a blade. Use the Lens of Truth to find the platform behind it. Walk under
the blade and onto the platform. Continue to use the Lens of Truth and you will see a moving platform on
a chain in front of you. Walk onto the platform when it comes near you and ride it to the left. You will see
a doorway with a locked door in it. Walk into the doorway as you pass by it. Enter the door. Use the Lens
of Truth to avoid the hidden spikes on the floor. Kill the Redeads and collect all of the silver rupees in the
room. Once you get them, a barred door will open. Enter the door. You will see a giant skull and a spiky
square in front of you. Climb up onto the on either side of the skull to get behind it. You will see two
bomb flowers. Pick a bomb flower and throw it in the top of the skull. When it explodes, get the small key
that flies out. Exit the room by the door that you came from. Once again, use the Lens of Truth to avoid
the spikes on the floor. Walk near the platform with the locked door on it. Look up with your hookshot
and the Lens of Truth to see a secret hookshot circle above the platform. Hookshot onto it to get onto the
platform. Enter the door. Walk down the hall until you get to some spiky squares. Wait until the fan at
the end of the hall stops and run past the squares. Equip your iron boots so you won’t get blown away by
the fans. Kill the Skulltula that drops down from the ceiling. Walk down the hall towards the next fan.
There is a gap to your left. Wait until the fan on the other side stops and use your hover boots to run to the
other side. Keep going until you fall onto the path under the fan. There are fans on either side of the path
here. Equip your iron boots and walk past them. Stand on the edge of the left edge of the path directly
across from the last fan. Equip your hover boots and run to the left when the fan starts blowing. You will
blow through a secret hole in the wall with a door in it. Enter the door. You will be in a small room with
mummies and spiky squares in it. To your right is a weird rock with a glowing crack in it. Set a bomb on
the crack. When it explodes, use the Lens of Truth to find an invisible small chest. Open the chest to
receive a small key. Now run to the locked door on the other side of the room. Enter the door. Walk to the
left until you see a large block. Pull it out onto the gray path beside it. Pull it out along the path a little bit
and then go on the other side and push it the rest of the way. Push it to the end of the path where it will fall
into a hole. Climb on top of it and climb the ladder on the wall behind it. Once on the surface above, you
will see a strange ship to your left. Get onto the ship and stand on the Triforce symbol. Play Zelda’s
Lullaby to make the ship start moving. As you ride the ship, two Stalfos will fall from the sky, one at a
time. Defeat the Stalfos as you move along. After a while the ship will stop and start sinking. Quickly,
run off to the surface to your left. To your right is a door. Enter the door. Use the Lens of Truth to fin
your way around the maze. Look at the little map at the bottom right corner of your screen. You came
from the east side of the room, make your way to the door on the north side of the room. Enter the door.
Ahh!!! The walls are going to squish you! Not really. Use Din’s Fire to burn the walls and Redeads. Once
you’ve gotten rid of those, walk to your right to find the blue and gold chest. Open the chest to receive the
boss key. Now exit the room by the door you came from. Now use the Lens of Truth and your little map
to find the door on the south side of the room. Enter the door. In this room, you have to defeat the invisible
hand. Once you defeat it, a small chest will appear. Open the chest to receive a small key. Exit the room
by the door that you came from. Use the Lens of Truth and the little map to get out of this place by the
door on the east side of the room. Enter the door. Walk forward until you see two pots on the right side of
the path. Stand between the pots and look across the gap to your right. There are a bunch of bomb flowers
in front of a huge statue. Shoot one of the bomb flowers with an arrow. The explosion will cause the
statue to fall and make a path across the gap. Walk across the statue to get to the other side. Now walk to
the right until you get to a doorway with a locked door in it. Enter the door. You will be in an empty room
with the boss door on the other side of it. Walk to the end of the path and use the Lens of Truth to find a
series of platform in the gap. Jump across the platforms to the boss door. Enter the door. Jump in the hole
in front of you. See boss strategy guide on our site to learn how to defeat Bongo Bongo.
