I think the Shadow Temple was made to be the last, cause, even in the soundtrack, Shadow Temple's theme comes afterm Spirit Temple's
Oh yeah, that's right. You need the Hover Boots to get to the salesman on the flying carpet, so that's what confused me I guess. It's been a while since I last played OoT.
In answer to what gerudo goyo and Ver-go-a-go-go were discussing, you need the Longshot to do the Spirit Temple, because the Hookshot isn't long enough to get across Gerudo Valley, or to get through the Haunted Wasteland.
About Shadow Temple, I don't think you really need anything except like Din's Fire and a plain Hookshot to get through that. So maybe you could do that before a couple of dungeons?
Yeah, I didn't. What, do you jump the gap with her? I never would have though of that because the gap looked way too big.You had no idea you could use Epona to get across the bridge? I never even knew there was another way to get across the bridge. But, since I didn't even add this opinion in my first post, I think that the Spirit Temple was intended to be last and I've always thought of it that way, even though I never did it last.
Oh, mini-scene. That explains it. In other words, she can't actually jump it with the game's mechanics, but when you hit it at the right speed, it will jump for you... >_<Yeah. Just get up to a good speed, go right to it and she'll jump across it. There's even a little mini scene to go along with it. =D
