Forest Temple

Forest Temple

Before you go

Get the Hookshot from Dampé's race in Kakariko Graveyard first. Sheik teaches you the Minuet of Forest when you arrive at the meadow, so you can warp back later.

Walkthrough

• When you enter the main hall, the four Poe Sisters – Joelle, Beth, Amy and Meg – steal the flames from the torches. Each flame you win back by defeating its Poe. When all four are defeated, the elevator in the middle of the hall takes you down toward the boss.
• The temple is built around two courtyards (west and east). Many routes go through them, so expect to go outside and back in several times.
• Several rooms have block-pushing puzzles, and one route in the main hall area is blocked by a block you remove with the Song of Time.
• One corridor is twisted. Shooting the right target with the Fairy Bow straightens it and opens new paths; the Boss Key is reached through the straightened corridor.
• Joelle and Beth hide in paintings – shoot the paintings with the Fairy Bow to make them appear.
• Meg, the last sister, splits into several copies – only the real one takes damage.

Boss: Phantom Ganon

• Phase 1: Phantom Ganon rides out of one of the paintings around the arena. A fake copy may appear in another painting; watch which one actually rides toward you and shoot the real one with an arrow.
• Phase 2: He floats in the middle and throws energy balls. Swing your sword to send them back. Keep returning them until one hits him and he falls, then attack.

Tips

• Stock up on arrows before the boss – Phase 1 uses several.
• Sheik teaches you the Prelude of Light in the Temple of Time once you have the Forest Medallion.
