Snowpeak Ruins: Difference between revisions

The Snowpeak Ruins is the fifth [[Dungeon]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. It is a large mansion set within [[Snowpeak]], a frigid mountain in the far north of [[Hyrule]]. Link travels to the Snowpeak Ruins in hope of finding the second [[Mirror Shard]]. He was told by the [[Ancient Sages]] that one of the Mirror Shards is located on a snowy mountain top.<ref>{{Cite|TP|1721|[[Ancient Sages]]}}</ref> The Snowpeak Ruins is the the most fitting place for the shard to be located based on the Sages' description.

Once Link reaches the summit of Snowpeak, he meets up with [[Yeto]], who has a [[Reekfish]] in his hand. He says it is rare to see human on the mountain,<ref>{{Cite|TP|7742|[[Yeto]]}}</ref> and asks Link what he is doing on top of the mountain, making a joke about a spiritual jounrney<ref>{{Cite|TP|7743|[[Yeto]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|TP|7746|[[Yeto]]}}</reF> and Link will respond, telling Yeto he is looking for the Mirror Shard. Yeto will say he has the Mirror Shard,<ref>{{Cite|TP|7751|[[Yeto]]}}</ref> and him and Link will sled down the mountain to the Snowpeak Ruins, Yeto's home.<ref>{{Cite|TP|7757|[[Yeto]]}}</reF> Link enters the Snowpeak Ruins and meets [[Yeta]], who tells him she got sick because of the Mirror.<ref>{{Cite|TP|7020|[[Yeta]]}}</ref> She also will tell Link that the Mirror is in the bedroom, and it has been locked away.<ref>{{Cite|TP|7021|[[Yeta]]}}</ref> She tells him the location of the key on Link's map,<ref>{{Cite|TP|7024|[[Yeta]]}}</ref> and Link goes searching for it. However, the location she told Link doesn't house the key, but it houses the [[Ordon Pumpkin]]. Upon telling Yeta what happened, she will tell Link a second location,<ref>{{Cite|TP|7032|[[Yeta]]}}</ref><reF>{{Cite|TP|7036|[[Yeta]]}}</ref> but this room also doesn't contain the key. It contains a chest that houses the [[Ordon Goat Cheese]]. Yeta will then give Link a third location,<ref>{{Cite|TP|7045|[[Yeta]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|TP|7046|[[Yeta]]}}</ref> and this one is finally the correct one. Link finds the key and along with Yeta goes to get the Mirror.<ref>{{Cite|TP|7050|[[Yeta]]}}</ref> However, Yeta appears to get possessed by the mirror and turns into [[Blizzeta]]. Link must defeat Blizzeta to gain the second [[Mirror Shard]].

[[Blizzeta|Twilit Ice Mass: Blizzeta]] is the [[Boss]] of the Snowpeak Ruins. Blizzeta is the form [[Yeta]] takes after she has been possessed by the Mirror Shard. The battle takes place in the bedroom of the Snowpeak Ruins, the only room that lies on the third floor. Since the entire dungeon has been ice-based, it is most appropriate for this battle to be the same. In both phases of this battle, Blizzeta will guard herself using large ice blocks that are very hard to penetrate. The only way Link can hit Blizzeta hard to enough to destroy the ice is with the Dungeon Item of the Snowpeak Ruins, the [[Ball and Chain]]. After defeating Blizzeta, Link will be rewarded with the first Mirror Shard and a [[Heart Container]]. Also, Yeto will come and when he sees Yeta on the floor, he runs to her, and tells her to forget about mirror and looks into Yeto's eyes.<ref>{{Cite|TP|7059|[[Yeto]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|TP|7060|[[Yeto]]}}</ref>. They embrace, and suddenly hundreds of [[Recovery Heart]]s start popping out of them until finally, a Heart Container pops out as well.

The [[Dungeon Map]] is given to [[Link]] by [[Yeta]] very early on in the dungeon. It is used to show Link how the mansion is laid out. It shows every room in the dungeon, as well as the shape and size of each room. Yeta will show Link the location of the Bedroom Key by putting a symbol on the map. Link must go to the that particular spot, so the map is very useful if he ever gets lost or even just to refer to every once in a while.

The [[Compass]] can be collected by Link in a room that has long narrow paths, which make it very difficult to travel through the room to get the the far end of it, where the chest that contains the Compass lies. The Compass does two very useful things for Link. Firstly, it shows him the location of every [[Treasure Chest]] that is located in the dungeon. Secondly, it shows Link the locations of every [[Canonball]] that he can use with a [[Cannon]].
