Draining the well
- As an adult, learn the Song of Storms from the man in the Kakariko windmill.
- Return as a child, enter the windmill and play the Song of Storms there. The windmill spins faster and the well in the middle of the village drains.
- Climb down into the well through the small opening at the bottom.
Walkthrough
- The well is a maze of fake walls, hidden holes in the floor and invisible passages. Until you have the Lens of Truth, follow walls carefully and watch for spots where Link walks through a wall.
- Silver Rupees in the basement open one of the side areas.
- The Lens of Truth is guarded by Dead Hand in the lower level. You need Zelda's Lullaby to drain the water that blocks the way there, and the Kokiri Sword for the fight.
- Dead Hand: its hands rise from the floor and grab you – press buttons rapidly to escape. Hit its head whenever it approaches.
- With the Lens, revisit the rest of the well. The three small keys open the locked rooms with the remaining chests, including a Hylian Shield and a Deku Shield.
Tips
- The Lens of Truth uses magic while active; turn it off when you do not need it.
- Like Likes can swallow your shield – defeat them quickly to get it back.
- The Lens is required for the Shadow Temple and the Haunted Wasteland.
