Chapter 4 - The Snow Realm
|
4.1 Back to Aboda Village
|
As soon as you start traveling out with your train, you’ll notice that there
are new enemy bullbo’s running around near the track. Unlike the moinks that
would be scamper off when you blow the train whistle, these fellows will go
so far as ramming right into your train, causing damage! Princess Zelda
suggests that we go visit Alfonzo at Castle Town, so let’s make that our
next stop.
Once you enter, head tower the Castle and you’ll see the mailbox shaking.
The postman will deliver a letter from... Alfonzo, which basically says that
you should come and pick him up to bring him back to Aboda Village. Walk
into Hyrule Castle and make your way to the rest area where we lost saw
Alfonzo.
Alfonzo is now back on his feet and is ready to go. After some small talk
he’ll say that he’ll meet you at the train and then limps off. There is very
little to do here in Castle Town at the moment, so you can go ahead and
leave the castle and head back to the train.
Jump on board and draw out your
route all the way back to Aboda Village. Remember, you’ll have to navigate
around the dark trains that block the path, as well as keeping your eyes
open for pesky bird enemies that try to hurt you.
Aboda Village
Once you arrive back at Aboda Village Alfonzo will offer to make something
for your train, but it is going to take some time, so he suggest going to
see what Niko is up to while he’s doing that. Just run around town for a bit
and then go and Visit Niko.
Niko is glad to see you and tells you a story of his younger days when he
was a traveler. He loved stamps but never had a stamp book at the time to
collect them all in. However, he now has one and he gives it to Link in
hopes that Link will fulfill Niko’s request to collect stamps from all over
the world! Niko even mentions that he’ll give Link something special if he
can collect a bunch of stamps.
Leave the house and walk to the north where you will find a Stamp Station!
Use the stamp station to stamp Aboda Village into your recently acquired
Stamp Book! You can view your stamp book in your collection screen and it
shows a map of all the locations that you have stamped. We will be filling
this out as we go.
It’s been a few minutes so let’s go check on Alfonzo. Walk over to the train
station and Alfonzo will roll out Link’s newly upgraded train. It is now
equipped with a cannon! The cannon will allow Link to shoot at enemies that
surround his train and also to break boulders that he sees as he goes. Jump
back on the train and move on out!
|
|
|
Cannon |
The Cannon will allow Link to shoot at enemies while riding the train. Additionally, Link can shoot the landscape to get rupees, recovery hearts, or to reveal secrets.

Bullbo will roam the sides of the tracks and will run fearsomely into Link's train. Once you get the cannon, two shots will do these enemies in. |
You'll find Alfonzo in the break room in Hyrule Castle. |
Link and Niko's house is the bottom left one. |
|
Stamp Book |
The Stamp Book is given to Link by Niko. Link can stamp the book at the various stamp stations in Hyrule. There are 20 Stamp Stations in total.
|
 |
Stamp Station #1
Aboda Village | |

At the top left portion of the village, out in the open. |

4.2 Some Extras in the Forest Realm
|
For now, start heading to the Snow area by taking the tracks in the
northwest corner of the map. Once you finally emerge from the wooded area,
you’ll come to a large boulder is blocking the path! No fear, use the newly
acquired cannon a few times and blast away at this nuisance. Continue onward
and you’ll find a station. Make a short pit stop to realize you are in the Rabbitland Rescue! What a strange place... It’s a haven
for rabbits!
Talk to the nearby rabbit man and he’ll tell you all about the place. Tell
him how excited you are about the place and after you’ve convinced him, he
will give Link the Rabbit Net! The rabbit man then tells you how to catch
bunnies. When riding on the train, you’ll notice that there are some rabbits
peeking out from behind some boulders. Once you spot it, blow your whistle
and the rabbit will jump up making it easier to spot. Blast away at the
boulder that it hides behind and then the hunt is on. You’ll automatically
switch to the rabbit net. Just try to tap the rabbit with the right timing
to catch it. Isn't that dandy?
Before we leave here, you may want to grab the treasure chest in the center pond of this station.
Link can reach this area by jumping from the higher cliff to the northeast.
It's a tough jump but certainly reachable. Open the treasure chest to get a
random piece of treasure!
There is nothing else of importance here, so get back on the train.

|
Rabbit Net | |
While riding your train, keep a lookout for Rabbits hiding behind rocks. If
you see one, blast it away and you'll get the opportunity to try and catch
the rabbit using this net! Just aim and time it well and hopefully, you'll
be able to take a furry little critter to the rabbit haven!
|
|
| ~ Grass Rabbits & Stamps ~ |
Since we now have the Rabbit Net and the Stamp Book, we can actually catch
up to 4 Grass Rabbits and 3 more stamps. This is totally optional, so if you
don't want to do this, go ahead and skip to the next section of the
walkthrough. You have been warned! =)
Upon leaving Rabbitland Rescue, head back south and at the corner of the
tracks, just before leading back into the woods, you'll see a rock with a
rabbit behind it. Blast it away with the cannon to initiate your first
rabbit hunt! Simply follow it with your stylus and tap the screen once it
stops hopping around to catch Grass Rabbit #1, YAY!
Our next stop is at the Forest Sanctuary. There is a Stamp Station near the
top-middle portion of the map. Use bombs on the switch to cross the bridge or
blow up the boulders if you haven't already. Once you can reach it, stamp
your notebook for the second stamp! There is one other thing to do here at the
Forest Sanctuary. At the south part of the map, there is a treasure chest
with a cucco. Stand on the higher platform to the left and use the whirlwind
to blow off the cucco. Then run and pick up the cucco and return to this
platform. Use the cucco to float over to the treasure chest and open it up to
get 200 rupees! Return to the train.
Go south, heading towards Aboda Village. Along the way, on the straight
stretch between Aboda Village and Whittleton is a rock on the east side,
near the corner that has a bunny hiding behind it. Blast it away and catch
Grass Rabbit #2!
Next, ride
over to Whittleton Village and then run to the north part of the village,
via the exit at the northeast trees. There is a Stamp Station here, so be
sure to stamp your newly acquired stamp book with our third stamp!
Next, work your way north near the Hyrule Castle area, sneaking past the
Dark Trains that are patrolling back and forth. In the northwest corner,
next to the lake near Hyrule Castle is Grass Rabbit #3.
Our last stop is at the Forest Temple, and as you approach it, in the little
wooded area, look off to the right to find Grass Rabbit #4!
We have one more Stamp Station to get in the temple itself. It's at the
top-right portion of the first floor of the temple. Use the whirlwind to
clear the fog that is blocking your path. Stamp your notebook and then head
back to the train. Afterwards, onward to the north lands of Hyrule!

Let's finally make our way north to the Snow Realm. The path is rather clear
once you pass the Rabbitland Rescue. There are a few bullbo’s in your path
that you can blast away with your cannon… and then you finally make your way
to the Snow Realm.
|
|
4.3 Anouki Village
|
After you are done marveling at the great snow filled land, you’ll realize
that at the moment there are very few places that you can travel to in this
new territory. There is a small village, which is the only village where
Link can currently stop his train at in this territory. However, this new
land does open new possibilities for Link. Link can access his first warp
gate. Warp gates are stone arches that extend over the Spirit Tracks. Each
warp gate has two located throughout the overworld, a main location and a
secondary location. Link first needs to visit the main location of each of
these warp gates and strike the gem that is on top of the stone arch. This
will activate the warp gate, at which Link can then use it to warp between
the gates that are in the overworld.
At the first fork in the road, turn to the right and straight ahead you'll
find Warp Gate A. Strike the triangle above the stone arch with the cannon
to activate the warp gate. Now anybody you ride your train by the warp gate,
simply pull the train whistle and a portal will appear. This particular warp
gate will send you to the center part of the Forest Realm, just north of
Whittleton Village.
Our next stop is Anouki Village, which is the only town we have access to,
so ride over with your train. If you'd like, you can take a quick detour and
find the first snow rabbit. It is located just west of the village on the
north side of the tracks. After you've captured the bunny, ride on over to
Anouki Village.

This particular variety of ChuChu will freeze you if you hit. For now, you
can stun them with the whirlwind first to make them vulnerable and slash away with your sword. |

White Wolfos |
Threat
Attacks
Dash
|  | |
These wolves tend to come in packs and will pop out of the snow, circle
around you momentarily before dashing at you. Avoid their attacks and either
repeatedly try to attack them (they can only dodge you every few seconds) or
wait for them to jump at you and use a Spin Attack. |
|

Stamp Station #5
Anouki Village | |
|
Outside of the fence, on the right side of the village, behind some trees. |
|
Song of Discovery |
Play this song within to heal yourself completely! You can play this song to reveal hidden treasure and objects.
|
|
Honcho |
The "head honcho" of the village has a recognizable name. Although easily
excited as well as distracted, this kind-hearted fellow is more than willing
to help you out on your quest... Once the safety and well being of the rest
of the Anoukis is taken care of, of course.
|
|
The Anouki are a snow based tribe that live in very cold climates. If you
played Phantom Hourglass, you may remember the Anouki habited the Isle of
Frost. There are six buildings here and there are Anouki all over the place.
You can run around and speak with all the Anouki if you’d like.
Running around the village, you'll notice a familiar enemy is appears from
the snow. A ChuChu, but this time it is of the ice variation. Don't touch
them or else Link will be freeze and take damage. Instead, use the whirlwind
to stun them, and then finish them off with a few simple sword strikes.
Another new enemy, White Wolfos, will appear from underground and dash at Link. They are also
quite skillful at dodging Link’s attack, but only for a second. Just continuously try to hit the wolfos and you’ll
get past their defenses.
Also, since we are in a new town, there is a new stamp station location for
us to find! It is located at the northeast corner of the village. From the
train station, just run to the east, and then north, navigating through the
trees to find the stamp station. Use the station to stamp your fifth stamp
into Niko's stamp book.
Right in the center of the village there is another one of those statues
that make noise. Walk up to it and click it and you’ll see four notes coming
out from the statue... orange, yellow, orange, and turquoise. Play the song
and the statue will shoot into the air and Link will have learned the Song
of Discovery! A treasure chest appears in place of the statue. Open up the
treasure chest to get a red potion!
|
Continue talking to the Anouki if you’d like and you’ll find out that the
honcho lives in the house that is on the highest hill... and honcho isn’t just
a title, it’s his actual name. You’ll soon learn that there are monsters all
over and Honcho is trying to put together a village watch and wants to pair
up all the Anouki. Honcho needs your help as several of the Anouki have a
lot of strict requirements as to who they will work with. It is up to Link
to find out who is paired with whom!
There are six houses and an Anouki is either inside or just outside each one
of the houses. We will number these houses from top-left to bottom-right to
keep things organized.
#1  YekoWon’t pair with
a certain someone who has “wimpy horns AND dresses in blue.” |
#2  Honcho“I’m happy pairin’ up with any old Anouki.” |
#3  Kofu“I won’t work with anyone who’s got big horns like mine.” |
#4  Yefu“My partner needs to move freely in the field, so flashy horns are a major no-no!” |
#5  Noko“My biggest gripe is guys wearin’
yellow. I mean... blech.” |
#6  Bulu“I can’t stand Anoukis who grow out their facial hair.” |
Based on all that information, we can come to the conclusion that the pairs
will be 1 and 6, 2 and 4, and 3 and 5. Run back to Honcho and speak with
him. He gives you a sheet and you have to connect a line between the Anouki
that should be paired with one another. Match the Anouki based on the
numbers above to solve this dilemma for them. As a thank you gift, Honcho
will give Link a red rupee.
Mort impotently however, Honcho will now talk about the next sage, Steem and
the Snow Sanctuary. Honcho mentions that they do not have access since a
“ginormous monster” lives in the cave that blocks the path.
Now that we are all through here and know where the Snow Sanctuary is, lets
head back to our train and jump aboard.
|
|
If you haven't already, capture the snow rabbit that is on the north side
of the tracks just west of Anouki Village. This is an important rabbit as it
our fifth rabbit overall.
Now that we have captured five rabbits, let's head back to the Rabbitland
Rescue / Rabbit Haven. Once you arrive, speak with the owner,
and as a reward for catching five rabbits, he will give a new heart
container! This brings out total life up to 6 hearts! Leave the rescue and
ride back north to the Snow Realm.

4.4 Snow Sanctuary
|
Ride the train to the tunnel and enter it and you’ll find that it is in fact
inhabited by a giant one eyed rocktite. As you probably could have guessed,
its massive eye is its weak spot. It will continuously try to crawl towards
Link and use its large body to jump onto the train. What you need to do to
prevent this monster from doing so, is to continuously hit him in the eye
with your cannon. Just never stop tapping where you are anticipating the
eye to be and it will keep the Rocktite at bay. Just repeat this process
several times until Link finally makes it past the cave and through to the
other side. You’ll immediately appear at the Snow Sanctuary.
Snow Sanctuary / Snowfall Sanctuary
You can enter the nearby hut to see that a full heart container is for sale,
but it’s selling for a very pricey 2000 rupees! We will certainly be back
later on to pick up this gem, but for now, let’s skip over it. This is also
the first time Link can get his hands on the Purple potion, which will fill
up 8 hearts rather than just 6 like the red potion. They have a shield here,
but it is pricier here than in other shops. There is really nothing of
interest of interest outside the heart container so let’s leave the shop.
Just walk around and defeat the various enemies that appear, since this
place is just saturated with Ice ChuChus and White Wolfos. You’ll notice
that there is a stamp station near the left side of the station. Climb up to
it and use the stamp station to stamp the Snow Sanctuary into your stamp
book. Now continue navigating this area, progressing to the top-right of the
map.
Navigate through the rest of the area, defeating several ice chuchu’s along
your path and enter the cave at the top-left corner. Tap the tablet and
you’ll see that once the switch is stepped on, you cannot cross in the line
of the statues. It’s a good idea to run around and see where all the statues
are looking at, so you can understand the path you need to take.
Once you are ready, step on the switch. Take the path that is just left to
the statue right in front of you and walk northward to the middle statue.
Wrap around the middle statue and make your way to the right side of the
room, walking below the middle statue on the right. Wrap around the statue
on the right and then walk diagonally to the door. It really isn’t overly
difficult to find the right path. Walk through the door.
Walk up the steps to meet up with Steem, the locomotive of the Snow
Sanctuary. Just like with the Locomotive we met at the Forest Sanctuary /
Woodland Sanctuary, Steem has a new song to teach you. This one is a bit more challenging as it
has four notes. It starts with the turquoise note, and then quickly goes
silver, turquoise, and orange. Be sure to practice a bit with Steem for
awhile and then get ready for the real deal. This one was a bit more
challenging for me so it may take a bit more effort. Once you’ve finally got
it down and have played the duet with Steem, portions of the Spirit Tracks
in this realm will return, allowing Link to access the Snow Temple! Link
also has quicker access to the Anouki Village from here. Leave the area and
head all the way back to the train.

4.5 Getting to the Snow Temple
|

Snow Rabbit #2
Real quick, before we do anything, there's a Snow Rabbit that's available to
us now that we have more tracks. Upon leaving the Snow Sanctuary, take the
first right which is a set of tracks that connects to the Anouki Village
area. You'll find a Snow Rabbit on the west side of the tracks, our 6th
rabbit overall.
Seeking Out Ferrus
At this point, if you try to head to the Snow Temple, you'll find yourself
in a terrible blizzard that will eventually push you back to the entrance of
the maze. As lame as that is, we cannot progress to the temple for now. If
you head back to Anouki Village, you can talk to Honcho and he'll tell you
to seek out a guy named Ferrus who lives to the east and is crazy about
trains.
Let's take Honcho's advice and head east to that area where the Dark Train
is patrolling. On your way, you'll encounter a new type of enemy: Sir
Frosty. Shoot their projectiles with your cannon to defend yourself, then
shoot the bodies to defeat them as you pass by. After emerging from the
forest area and rounding the corner, you'll come to a station that isn't on
the map.
Wellspring / Icy Spring Station
If you run around the area you’ll find several white wolfos jumping around
as well as a crow perched on top of a tree. Disregard these enemies and
enter the small house on the right side of the map. Nobody is home but there
is a note on the table that Princess Zelda points out. Run over and read it
and you’ll see some scribble resemblance of a map to the area that is just
east of where you are, where the dark train is patrolling. Mark these
locations on your map. There is also a note along the wall in the room and
it discusses other forms of travel. The note mentions that one of these
special locations is located south of Anouki Village. This is a reference to
the warp gate that we found earlier. Anyway, leave the hut and head back to
the train.
The "Crazy Train Guy"
We want to take a look at these locations that were on the map. Head
eastward and at the next fork in the road, make a right and travel all the
way to where the first location was on the map. You will see a man beside
the rails and he is taking snapshots. Slow down the train and stop right in
front of him and this will trigger a conversation. The person introduces
himself as Ferrus and asks where you are headed. Tell him you are headed to
the Temple. He mentions an alternate way and then shows you an outdated map.
Blow on the microphone to wipe it clean and you’ll noticed a path is drawn
on the map. Be sure to jot down that route on your map.
Navigating The Blizzard
Back on the train, trace a route all the way to the Snow Temple, using the
route that Ferrus showed you on his map. You can maneuver around one of the
forks in the road to turn your train around so you are facing the right
direction. Follow along the long path, defeating various snowmen that you
see.
The blizzard portion of the track will greatly reduce your line of vision.
However, since we have the path already traced on our map, there is no
reason for us to get lost. Travel all the way into the castle,
the Snow/Blizzard Temple!

4.6 Snow Temple / Blizzard Temple
|
1st Floor
Walk north through the door and enter the main portion of the temple. Walk
straight ahead and defeat the keese. You can’t really do much else so walk
straight northward to another part of the room.
Upon entering Princess Zelda notices a large bell, and it becomes apparent
that these bells will play a big role in this dungeon. If you look on the
ground, you’ll see that there are three squares with bell symbols on them.
There are three bells that we will find in this dungeon and we want to push
the bells to land on top of these bell looking squares.
The first large bell is right here and the square it falls on is just to the
north. Push the bell so that it falls on top. The bell is now lower so Link
can strike at it with his sword. Just north of the bell there is a sign on
the wall. Check it out and you’ll see two bell notes along the middle line.
This is actually a clue on what you need to do, but at this point it’s so
easy that it might actually seem confusing. Just run over to the bell and
slash at it twice with your sword and this will cause the door at the
bottom-right of this area to open up.
Walk through the door and you’ll see a small staircase here, but you cannot
jump across to the platform to the right as the gap is too large. Elsewhere
in the room, you’ll see a block sitting on top of some ice. (Enter classic
Zelda puzzle solving). We want to get this block to the top of the room so
that we can jump on it to get across the gap to get to the right side of the
screen. It’s quite simple actually, just push the block all down and it will
slide across the ice. Push it to the left, up, to the right, and then up to
get it in place. Now climb the steps, jump onto the block, and then jump
over to the right side.
Walk south to corner of the map and you’ll find a brand new enemy located
here. These enemies are known as Octives and they act very similar to
water octoroks or water toadpolis from previous Zelda titles. They will come
up from underwater and will shoot rocks out of their mouth. If you walk to
the edge, you’ll see there is a switch across the water. Pull out the
whirlwind and then time the rock that is being shot of the enemy’s mouth.
The goal is to send out a gust that will cause the rock to hit the switch.
It may take a few tries, but upon successfully doing so, a bridge will form.
Cross the bridge and head down the staircase.

Basement 1 - Boomerang
Push the block to the right and it will glide across the ice and fall into
the water. Jump on top of the block and then pull out the whirlwind. Aim to
the left and use the whirlwind, and this gust will cause Link and the block
to float to the right. There is totem over here, so pull out the whirlwind
once again and use it to cause the totem to spin. This will open up a door
that is just to the north.
Also to the north is a new enemy known as a freezard. If Link hits them or
blows them with the whirlwind, they will move at crazy speeds along the ice.
Use the whirlwind to get over to the freezard and then use your sword
or whirlwind and it will send the enemy flying and hopefully into the water
where it won’t cause any more problems. Use the whirlwind if you need to in
order to get to the platform, and then head up.
There is another block here so push it to the left and it will land in some
more water. There are more octives here that will shoot rocks
out towards Link. Use the whirlwind and redirect the rocks back at them in
order to defeat them. Use the whirlwind to move along the water and to the
area at the south, there is a treasure chest containing a red rupee.
Jump back on the block and make your way around the water and defeating all
the octives in your way. There are three of octives in the water and if you
defeat all three, a treasure chest will appear. Open it up to get a random
piece of treasure.
Walk up and to the left and a door will close behind you. This room is
filled with three ice keese. These bats are covered in flames of ice and
will freeze Link if he tries to hit them. Instead, use the whirlwind on the
keese and this will cause them to lose their ice surroundings and stun them,
making them vulnerable to Link’s sword. Defeat all three of these enemies
and a large treasure chest will appear. Open it up to get the dungeon item,
the boomerang!
|
|
Walk back to the room to the right and pull out the boomerang. Across the
gap there are two switches. Use the boomerang and trace a path so that it
will hit both of the switches. Doing so will create a bridge and allowing
Link to cross. Do so and then head up the staircase here.

While using the boomerang, trace a path with the stylus to the switch or enemy you are trying to hit.

1st Floor - 2nd Bell
Walk around the corner here and you’ll see a few ice keese flying around.
Use the boomerang to defeat them and then trace a path with your boomerang
so that it hits the switch here. This causes the door to the left to open up
and this door leads to the main room of the dungeon. Also, if you defeat
both of the keese here, a treasure chest will appear in the corner of the
room. Run on over to it and open it to get a random piece of treasure.
Now run over to the bell and just above it, you’ll notice another sign on
the wall. Take a look at it and it will show a series of bells. If you
recall, the middle line was for the bell already in the center room, so the
top line must be for this bell. The goal is to push it back to the main room
and onto the square bell switch on the right side. In order to do that, push
the bell in the following order and just let it slide across the ice. Push
it down, left, up, and left, and it should now be in the top-left corner.
From here push it down, right, down, left, and then down and it will fall
onto the square block.
Now if you remember the sign we just saw, the order was middle, top, top,
and middle. Since the middle represented the center bell, that is the one we
hit first. Pull out the boomerang and trace a line so it hits the middle
bell, then the right bell, then the right bell again, and finally the middle
bell. If done correctly, this will cause the door at the southwest corner of
the room to open up, so head through it.
There is one lit torch and four unlit torches here, but the trick in this
room is that you must light the torches in the proper order. If you use the
boomerang and then trace paths over all of the snow, they will melt away so
Link can see the ground. On the ground next to each torch, you can see a
symbol with a number of dots and this reveals the proper order to light the
torches in. The order is; top-right, bottom-right, top-left, and then
bottom-left. This will cause the door at the corner of the room to unlock,
so head down the stairs.
Basement 1
Walk past the locked door and you’ll see one of those statues here. You can
awaken it by playing the Song of Awakening, but all it will do is ask for 20
rupees in order to tell you where two treasure chests are on this floor.
Since we’ll be getting these treasure chests anyway there is little reason
to pay the rupees.
There is a flame of ice in the center platform here. Use the boomerang, and
then trace a path in the water with your boomerang and this will change
parts of the water into ice! The ice is sturdy enough for Link to run
across, but it won’t last forever so you’ll have to move quickly. Trace a
path to the right, where there is a treasure chest that contains a small
key. Now get back to the left and use the key on the locked door.
Grab the Small Key. |
Stand here to melt the totem thing. |
Walk up and the door will close behind you. There are four mini-freezards in
this room as well as a torch flame. Use the boomerang and target the torch,
and then target the mini-freezards. Hitting a mini-freezard with the flamed
boomerang will cause it to turn into a standard octorok. Finish all four
octoroks off and two doors in this room will open up.
Walk to the right and you’ll see there is a totem in the water but it is
frozen solid. Use the boomerang and target the torch back in the room and
then trace a path all the way to the totem and it will cause it to melt.
You cannot use the whirlwind on the totem from here as the wall blocks the
direct line of sight. Instead, use the boomerang to the flame of ice that is
in the middle of the water and create a path extending over the water. Walk
onto the newly created ice, pull out the whirlwind, and use it to spin the
totem, which will open the door to the right. Finish off the path of ice
with the boomerang and then head up.
There are several octives that will pop up from underwater.
Use the whirlwind and launch their rocks right back at them to defeat them.
Alternatively, you can stun them using the boomerang and when you are close
enough, strike them with your sword to defeat them. Make a path within the
water, using the blocks of ice and make your way to the northeast portion of
the water.
There is a stamp station located here so pull out your stamp book and get
the book stamped. There are four water enemies in total here, as well as
several torches. Use the boomerang to light up the torches while creating
paths for Link to walk on. Defeat all four of the enemies and a treasure
chest will appear at the platform in the corner of the room. Make your way
to the corner of the room and open the treasure chest to get 100 rupees!
Walk up the stairs to get back to the 1st floor.

Hit the switch to open the door. Kill both Ice Keese to get the treasure. |

Use the blue fire to make a path to the top right corner of the big water
room. |

1st Floor - 3rd Bell
You’ll notice the third and final bell is found here but there is something
else we want to do before dealing with this guy. Walk south and head into
the room there. There are four fire keese that are found in this room. Use
the boomerang to defeat them quite easily. There is a bunch of snow on the
ground, as well as two torch flames. Use the boomerang to target the torches
and then trace over all of the snow to melt away everything. What is
revealed underneath is the third and final order that you need to play the
bells in. Remember, the new bell that we are getting here represents the
bell not on the bottom line. The order is bottom, middle, middle, top,
middle. Walk back up to the room with the third bell.
Push the bell up, right, down, left, and then up so the bell is along the
left side near the middle of the ice. If you look across the water, Link can
now make a direct line of ice so that if he pushes the block, it will slide
all the way back to the main room.
However, there is a door that blocks your way. There is a switch just south
of where the door is located. Use the boomerang on the flame of ice and
create an ice path so that you can access the switch. Step on and the door
leading to the main room will open up. Also, at the very top of the screen
here, there is a treasure chest, so trace a path of ice to get to it and
then open up to get a red rupee!
Now let’s use the boomerang and create some ice over the water so that we
can push the block. Once a full line of ice is created, run over to the
block and push it to the right, sending across the ice and into the main
room.

Fire Keese are just like Ice Keese except with fire surrounding them. Stun them with the whirlwind or defeat them with the boomerang. |
|
There is an unlit torch in the main room. Use the boomerang to target the
torch from the room to the left and then light up the torch in the main
room. Now use this torch and the boomerang to create ice over much of the
water area below. Once ice is created, we want to push the block down, then
left, and then down to send it to the solid ice area below. From here, push
it left, up, and right and it will fall into place.
With all three bells in place we can now hit the bells once more. Remember,
the order was bottom, middle, middle, top, middle. Relating this to three
bells in this large room, this means we need to hit them in the order of
left, middle, middle, right, middle. Trace a path with the boomerang so that
it hits the torches in this exact order and it will cause the door above to
open up!
Walk towards the door and you’ll see an unlit torch on the right side. Use
the torch we just recently lit up on the left side to light up the right
one, and this will cause a treasure chest to appear along the north wall.
Open it up to get a red rupee! There is a statue here, but like all the
statues in dungeons, it just tells you how many treasure chests are
available on the current floor. Disregard it as well as the freezard and
head up the stairs.

2nd Floor - Big Key
Walk to the south and you’ll find three more ice chuchu’s as well as the big
key lock. However, now that we have the boomerang we can stun the chuchu’s
more easily. Defeat all three and then walk around the corner and you’ll see
a sign on the wall. It shows six torches and labels three as fire and three
as ice. You can jot this information down on your map if you’d like and then
head to northwest corner of the map.
There are two lit torches and six unlit torches. The sign on the wall showed
which torches need to be lit with fire and which with ice. The two torches
on the left, as well as the one at the bottom-right are the ones that Link
needs to light up with fire. The other three need to be lit up with ice.
However, Link must light up all six of the torches with one toss of the
boomerang. You’ll first want to light up the ice torches. Use the boomerang
and trace a line from the ice torch to the one at the top-right, top,
bottom, then to the fire torch, the top-left, bottom-left, and then
bottom-right. This is close to the maximum length that you can trace your
boomerang so there is little room for error with the tracing. Once you’ve
lit all the torches a door on the right side will open up, so head through
it.
The door will close behind you and four white wolfos can be seen in this
room. Just aggressively go after these enemies and once all four of them are
done away with, the door to the right will open up.
Walk around the corner and you’ll reach some ice. On the north side of the
ice there is a switch. Step on it and it will create a bridge. Now stand
just close to the edge, pull out the whirlwind and target the big key. The
gust for the whirlwind will land the key on the bridge that you just
created. Walk around and pick up the big key! Walk across the bridge and
toss it on the giant lock. Walk up the staircase.
There are pots on both sides of this room. You can use the boomerang on the
pots in order to refill your hearts. Tap on the stone tablet here and it
creates a warp point to the beginning of the dungeon. Once you are ready for
battle, head on up the stairs to take on Fraaz, Master of Icy Fire.

FRAAZ
Master of Icy Fire

| Threat:

Attacks:
Fire
Ice (+ every 3 seconds frozen)
|

There are alternating forms of Fraaz as well as two phases. The first form
is when Fraaz is together as one large goblin like creature. Fraaz will suck
up energy of either fire or ice and this can easily be distinguished whether
he light up blue or red. If Fraaz sucks in ice, use the boomerang and target
the fire torch and then target Fraaz. The boomerang will pick up the flame
and then hit Fraaz, causing his body to shrink. If Fraaz has already sucked
in a lot of air and his body his huge, then it will take two hits with the
other element type to stun Fraaz. Once Fraaz is stunned run on over and
slash away with your sword. Repeat this process until Fraaz separates into
two smaller creatures.
This form of Fraaz can be quite annoying. One of the creatures will
light up with fire and the other with ice. The goal in this phase is
to use the elements against each other. Hit the one of fire with ice,
and vice versa. When the creatures stop running, target one of the
torches and then glance at your map above. Each of the seperated mini
goblins will have a blue or red icon, signifying what element they
are. If you target the blue flame, then target the creature with the
red icon. Once you've stunned this mini part of Fraaz, run on over
slash away with your sword. Once one of them is down, the other one
might try to revive its partner by using a purple and blog spirit
ball. Just defeat both of them as quickly as you can to prevent them
from thing this. After both have been defeated, they will combine to
form the larger Fraaz once again.
Fraaz then gets intelligent and will destroy the two torches that are in the
boss arena. During this phase, you have to wait for Fraaz to shoot either
fire or ice at Link. Dodge the attacks but fire or ice will remain on the
floor. When Fraaz switches to the opposite element, use the boomerang to
target the fire or ice and then hit Fraaz to stun him. Once stunned, slash
away with your sword. Repeat this process until Fraaz once again breaks
until smaller forms.
Since there are no torches, you’ll have to wait for the little versions of
Fraaz to shoot out either fire or ice. They’ll leave their mark on the
ground, at which you can use the boomerang to once again to grab the fire
and ice and hit the respective creature. Repeat this process until you’ve
both of the little guys. Remember, you have to be quick otherwise they will
revive one another.
The final phase is a combined Fraaz once again and this time he more
relentless. He shoots out fire and ice even quicker than before and of more
amounts! Just repeat the strategies that we have been using to finally
defeat Fraaz.
|
Summary:
When Fraaz is filled with fire, use the boomerang to target ice and
then hit Fraaz. Vice versa if Fraaz is filled with Ice. When Fraaz splits
up, glance up at your map to see what element each one is, and then hit them with the alternate element. After Fraaz breaks the
torches, wait until it shoots out its own fire or ice and it will leave a
spot on the floor. Use this against him when he changes element. Repeat
until Fraaz is defeated.

After the rather difficult battle with Fraaz is complete a cutscene kicks
in. It is very similar to the scene when we beat the Forest Temple. A statue
is formed and a silver force gem can be seen. The Spirit Tracks are revived
and the next floor of the Tower of Spirits is now put back together!
Afterwards the snow rail map glows, and a new path is opened up, which
serves as a shortcut to getting to the Tower of Spirits. After some small
talk from Princess Zelda, walk over and open the treasure chest to get a
full heart container! Then step into the blue warp portal and you’ll be sent
to the temple entrance. That about concludes chapter 4 of the Spirit Tracks
Walkthrough!
