How it works
The Training Ground is a series of challenge rooms arranged around a central maze. The maze has a chain of locked doors; the Ice Arrow chest in its centre needs all nine small keys. The keys are earned by clearing the challenge rooms.
Items you will need
To get everything you need a large part of your adult equipment: Bow, Hookshot (Longshot for some routes), Hover Boots, Megaton Hammer, Iron Boots, Zora Tunic, Silver Gauntlets, Lens of Truth, bombs and the Song of Time.
Challenge rooms
- Lava room: collect the Silver Rupees over a lava pit (the Hover Boots and Hookshot help).
- Underwater room: collect the Silver Rupees at the bottom of a pool with the Iron Boots and Zora Tunic; the Song of Time is used here.
- Boulder slope room: grab the Silver Rupees while dodging rolling boulders.
- Eye statue rooms: shoot the eye switches with the Bow; the Megaton Hammer is used nearby.
- Heavy block room: the Silver Gauntlets let you move a large block; the Lens of Truth reveals hidden things in these rooms.
- Combat rooms: defeat all enemies (Stalfos, Like Likes and others) to earn chests.
Tips
- Small keys work on any locked door in the Training Ground. The Ice Arrow chest at the centre of the maze needs all nine, so collect every key before heading into the maze.
- Like Likes can eat your shield – keep your distance or defeat them quickly.
- Some chests contain Ice Traps or only Rupees; the Ice Arrow chest is the real prize.
