The main chamber within the level has Warp Portals that lead to specific levels that are focused around particular items or abilities.

Level 1

The first level of the Chambers of Insight gives Link the basics on several of the collectibles and basic mechanics.

• Rupees - Rupees are shared amongst all players and if one of the players faints, it will cost 50 Rupees to revive them. Each subsequent time a player falls, the amount of rupees it costs to revive them goes up. A bonus is given at the end to the player who collects the most rupees.
• Mystical Seeds - Razor Seeds, Armor Seeds, and Pegasus Seeds can be found and they will bost Link's sword power, defense, and walking speed, respectively.
• Sword - The sword can be used at anytime by pressing 'B'. Link can hold the 'B' button down and perform a Spin Attack. The Fairy here also teaches Link to step on switches and that certain switches will require Link to remain standing on it to keep it pressed down.
• Block Pushing - Small suspicious blocks can be pushed by Link, but larger blocks will require cooperation from multiple Links. When playing in single player mode, you'll need to Press X to have the two Links come together.
• Rupee Shard - Link can open treasure chests by pressing A. Some chests have Rupee Shards in them, and sometimes enemy will also drop Rupee Shards. If Link collects four of them a giant Rupee worth 500 Rupees will appear.
• Sword Spark - If two Links slash their swords together in front of a torch, it will light a fire.
• Switches - Sometimes Link will need to press down multiple switches at the same time. This can be done with multiple Links, but also with statues.
• Big Switches and Keys - Some switches require multiple Links to step on them at one time. Locked doors can be opened with Small Keys that Link finds.
