- Warp to Southern Fairy Island (fourth one from the left, sixth one down) and use Treasure Chart #4 to haul up Piece of Heart #35 from the ocean floor. Next sail east one square to Ice Ring Isle. When you arrive, shoot a fire arrow at the dragon head in the center of the island. A timer will start, so hurry to the island. On the western side there is an area you can climb up. Get up and head to the right, working your way around the island.
- Hop across the platforms and drop into the hole in the dragon's mouth. Turn to the right and head down the narrow path you see. If you fall you can grapple your way up, stand on the peg and grapple again, but it wastes valuable time. Once across head left and down the small slide. Open the chest at the end for the Iron Boots. Turn to your right and walk down the path.
-
When you reach the wind equip the Iron boots and walk into it, dropping down the hole you see there. Down here there will be two bokoblins, two moblins, and a shielded darknut all frozen in ice. Melt the blocks one at a time to take out the enemies in a one one one (two on two in the case of the bokoblins). When they are all defeated, open the chest that appears for an Orange Rupee. |

- Step into the light to return to the Great Sea. On the eastern part of the island just after the platforms there is a chest encased in ice. Melt the ice with your Fire Arrows and open the chest for Treasure Chart #36.
- Return to the King of Red Lions and warp to Dragon Roost Island and sail south one square to Fire Mountain. Use Treasure Chart #37 to pull up a silver rupee and then shoot the column of fire spewing from the center of the mountain with an ice arrow.
- Start climbing from the north, then go left and climb up the next section. Climb the part to the right, and follow the path up to the top, sidling across the gap to get there. |
- Drop down the hole and hop across the platforms to the left, defeating the fire keese along the way. Destroy the two magtails at the end of the path and open the chest that appears for the Power Bracelets. Lift the giant stone head and step into the light to return to the sea.
- Warp back to Outset Island and go up to the pig pen. You should now notice that the black pig is gigantic (the other two have mysteriously disappeared though). Now that you have the power bracelets, lift the pig and carry it across the bridge spanning the two islands. Throw it, then spread some bait on the dark black patch of dirt on the left. The pig will dig, uncovering Piece of Heart #36 |

|
|
- Head back to the King of Red Lions and make sure the wind is blowing east. Sail in that direction one square to Headstone Island. Lift the giant stone head you see there and enter the cave. Walk up to the stone tablet and pull out your Wind Waker. You will learn a new song, the Earth God's Lyric, and be seen by a spirit names Laruto. She will tell you she was the sage of the Earth Temple and that Ganondorf had stolen her soul. To resurrect the sword's power you must find the one that holds that sacred instrument. Look a little familiar? |
|
- Head outside again and get on the King of Red Lions. Warp to Dragon Roost Island and begin climbing up to the top. Once inside the post office, head up the ramp to the right and go through the second door on the left. Turn right and use the Grappling Hook to get across the gap. Climb the ladder to the left and speak with Medli at the top. When she's finished, pull out the Wind Waker and conduct her by playing the Earth God's Lyric.
- She'll faint and Link will catch her. She'll be visited by Laruto and together they'll play the Earth God's Lyric and Medli will be awakened as the sage of the Earth Temple. She tells you to take her to the Earth Temple so she can help you. Back on the King of Red Lions, warp to Outset and sail east to Headstone Island once more. Play the Earth God's Lyric in front of the stone tablet and it will crumble before you, granting you access to the Earth Temple. |

Attacks
 Grab |
| - While the floor master doesn't inflict any actual damage, they are still a more serious threat. If one grabs you it will drag you back to the beginning of the dungeon and you'll have to go through all of it again to get back to where you were. They are best taken care of with arrows from a distance. They will also throw any nearby objects at you including pots, and even bombs. |
|
- In here you'll notice some blue fog. Touching this fog prevents you from using any of your weapons, so tread carefully. Use your Deku Leaf to clear a path through the fog to the stake you can see to the right and pound it into the ground with your Skull Hammer. The bars will slide off of the doors, so head through the southern one.
- There are two red bubbles in the coffins that will come out once you walk past them. Kill them and continue down the hallway. You'll emerge in a larger area. Turn to the left and climb the ladder and pull the block out of the way at the top to reveal some light. Use Medli to shine some light on the 'invisible' chest on the raised section and then open it for a small key.
- Two floormasters will emerge, so leave Medli in the light, they can't get her there. Kill them quickly or they'll take you back to the beginning of the dungeon. Return to the room with the blue fog and use your newly acquired key to go through the locked door straight across from you.
- Use a Fire Arrow on the curtain to the left to let some light in, then continue to kill the ChuChus that you'll find here. Don't kill the purple ones though. Use Medli to turn them to stone and place them on the switches so you can reach the door. Push the block off of the edge and proceed through the door. |
| - Kill the floormaster and push the block closest to the door to the wall so that it falls onto the switch and opens the shudders, revealing some light. Use Medli to shine the light onto the statue sitting on top of the other block and the yellow symbols on the walls to reveal another block and a blue pot.
- Fly up to where the door is and then return to link and push the first block onto the switch revealing a chest. Push the second block onto the switch to open the door. Use the block to climb up and open the chest for the compass. Head through the door. Kill the moblins and try your best to avoid the poes for now.
- Control Medli and fly up to where the light is. Shine light on the statues to solidify them and then shine it on the poes. Return to controlling Link and kill the poes. Climb up and open the chest for a Joy Pendant and then head up the stairs that were just revealed and through the door to the left.
- Set Medli down and jump into the pit. It's best to open the coffins one by one so you don't get swarmed by redeads. From left to right the coffins contain: redead, yellow rupee, redead, redead, small key. Climb the ladder that dropped and head back out and through the locked door you find.

| - An enemy that strongly resembles a ghost. You must first shine some light on them to solidify their form, then attack them with your sword or arrows. They will either smack you with their lantern or try to posses you. If they do posses you, your controls will be flipped for a brief period of time. |

Shriek
 Gnaw - Per second |
| - The readead's shriek causes paralyzing fear in all that hear it. Attack them quickly with your sword or with your arrows from a distance. If they attach to you, press buttons wildly on your controller until they let go. |
- After taking a couple steps into this room a stalfos will come up from the ground. The easiest way to kill these guys is by using a bomb to blow them up, then attacking the head while it's bouncing around. Be quick though or it will reassemble itself. Once it's defeated two more will appear. Defeat these as well and open the chest at the top of the stairs for the Mirror Shield.
New Equipment:
Mirror Shield |
Earth Temple |
|
 - You can use this shield's reflective surface to deflect magic attacks. It can also be used to reflect beams of light.

- Use the Mirror Shield to shine light on the symbol of the sun and moon above the door to open it. Kill the moblins and poes then take control of Medli. Fly her up to the light and shine it just below where we destroyed the statues earlier. While she's holding this position, return to controlling Link. Use the Mirror Shield to bounce the light onto the yellow symbol to blow up the wall.
- Grab Medli and head through the opening. Destroy the statue for five rupees, then use Medli to bounce some light to where the statue was. Use this light to destroy the wall with the yellow symbol on it for 80 more rupees. Grab Medli and head through the door.
|
| - Jump across and Medli should be able to carry you over the gap. Control Medli and use her instrument to shine light into one of the statue's eyes. Return to Link and shine light into the other one. The fog will clear and a set of stairs will be revealed. Go through the door at the bottom.
- Head down the spiral stairs and you'll see two blue bubbles. Defeat them and pull out the Tingle Tuner. To the left of the bridge there is a platform suspended from the ceiling. Use the Deku Leaf to reach this and keep going until you find a small ledge. Use the Tingle Tuner to reveal a chest. Open it for the Earth Tingle Statue.

- Return to the bridge (you'll need to go into the fog and climb up the ladder) and play the Earth God's Lyric in front of the tablet to make it crumble. Head through the door and defeat the two redeads inside. Reflect light off of the mirror shield onto the statue sitting on top of the block to destroy it. Destroy the bigger statue to the right and head through the doorway.
- Go through the maze, avoiding the floormasters and open the chest at the end for a small key. Light will flood into the room, so destroy the floormasters. A chest containing Treasure Chart #20.
- Return to the previous room and shine light onto the mirror opposite you to disintegrate the other statue. Head through the door and grab Medli. Jump the gap to either side since there are floormasters in the middle. Medli should carry you all the way across. Pull the statue over onto the blue spot and pound the stake down with the Skull Hammer. Return to the previous room and head through the locked door in the middle. |

- Control Medli and shine some light from the raised section to the small section with a raised panel to the east. Use Link and destroy the walls, then pull the mirror along the path into its place. Climb to the raised section and shine some light on the 'invisible' chest. Open it for 50 rupees then follow where the beam of light is going.
- Push the mirror over and climb on the raised section. Shine light onto the statue to blow it up, then onto the chest so you can open it for a Joy Pendant, then push the mirror into place. Climb on top of the raised section with Medli and shine the light onto very small section of wall with a symbol on it to break it. Next, shine light onto the smaller section on the floor then use Link to blow up the walls and drag the mirror to its spot on the floor.
- Now we can do what we need, but first head down the small tunnel we revealed with that section of wall. Shine light onto the coffins to open them and then continue to defeat the Stalfos inside them. Pull out the block in the wall to get back up and open the chest for Treasure Chart #12. |
| - Back in the room with all the mirrors, use Medli to shine light onto one section of the large statue's face, and use Link to do it to the other side. Head down the hallway and through the door.
- In here, first take care of the blue bubbles that appear when you approach the darknut, then the darknut itself. When you're finished, open the chest for the big key. Return to the large, circular room where we blew the rock off of the pot. |

| - Head up the staircase and control Medli. Fly her to the top on the opposite side of the boss's room. Climb the vines and grab Medli. Jump the gap to the boss's room and break the pots for some spare hearts. Enter the boss's room when you're ready. |
| - The tile in the center of the Triforce will begin to glow. Collect your heart container and approach it. Medli will enter the room. Link will conduct her as she plays the Earth God's Lyric, restoring some power to the Master Sword. Link then pulls the sword out of the ground and holds it in the air. Medli tells you to go to the Wind Temple and to return to the surface. |
