With the first puzzle complete, Link encounters the second room and faces another Ice Block puzzle; however, this time it is rather harder due to the appearance of two switches. Link can start off by pushing the southwestern block to the east and then pushing the northwestern block in the opposite direction. Link must then return to the initial block and push it north, west, and then south - this activates one of the two switches in the room. With one of the cages now open, Link must push the southernmost block to the east, then to the north, then to the west, and finally to the south. Link must then push the final block--the northwestern one--to the south, west, north, and east. This action activates the second switch, which in turn opens the path to the third and final room. | With the first puzzle complete, Link encounters the second room and faces another Ice Block puzzle; however, this time it is rather harder due to the appearance of two switches.

The final room contains yet another puzzle centered around pushing ice blocks.

Link can start by pushing the southeast block to the north; he can then push the block on the other side to the east, north, and then west. Link can return to the original block and push it westwards. He must then move the other western block to the north, which allows the eastern block to be pushed towards the western side of the room. This action causes all three blocks to be grouped together. Link must now push the northwestern block east, south, and then west. Link can then move on to the other northwestern block, pushing it north, east, south, west, and then once again north. The remaining northern block can now be pushed towards the east. This allows Link to move the southern block east, north, and finally west.

The Ice Block Cavern is a hidden cavern that can be entered in Twilight Princess. It is found in North Hyrule Field, in the northern portion of the area. In order to enter it, Link needs to first obtain Bombs as the entrance is blocked with a large boulder. Once inside, Link finds a large chunk of ice, stopping his progress through the cavern. In order to break the barrier, Link must utilize the Ball and Chain, which can be found in the Snowpeak Ruins. Inside, there are three sets of puzzles, with large Ice Blocks that have to be moved in a certain way to open the door to the next puzzle.
Solutions
There are several different solutions to each of these puzzles. Below is just one way of completing this block puzzle. NOTE that these solutions are for either the Nintendo Wii version of Twilight Princess or Hero Mode in Twilight Princess HD. If you are playing the Nintendo GameCube version, or the standard version of Twilight Princess HD, these solutions will still work. However, left will be right, and right will be left.
Puzzle #1
- Push the southeast corner block north, so it snaps against the other.
- Push the remaining lower block east and north, so it snaps against the others, forming a column of three.
- Push the block that is in the corner, west, south, and east so that it is in the Southeast corner.
- Push the middle block across the switch and it will stop on the opposite side.
- Push the lower block up and then onto the switch.
Puzzle #2
With the first puzzle complete, Link encounters the second room and faces another Ice Block puzzle; however, this time it is rather harder due to the appearance of two switches. Link can start off by pushing the southwestern block to the east and then pushing the northwestern block in the opposite direction. Link must then return to the initial block and push it north, west, and then south - this activates one of the two switches in the room. With one of the cages now open, Link must push the southernmost block to the east, then to the north, then to the west, and finally to the south. Link must then push the final block--the northwestern one--to the south, west, north, and east. This action activates the second switch, which in turn opens the path to the third and final room.
Puzzle #3
The final room contains yet another puzzle centered around pushing ice blocks. This time there is only one switch, much like the first room; however, this puzzle is much harder as the icy area is a lot larger thus causing more confusion. Link can start by pushing the southeast block to the north; he can then push the block on the other side to the east, north, and then west. Link can return to the original block and push it westwards. He must then move the other western block to the north, which allows the eastern block to be pushed towards the western side of the room. This action causes all three blocks to be grouped together. Link must now push the northwestern block east, south, and then west. Link can then move on to the other northwestern block, pushing it north, east, south, west, and then once again north. The remaining northern block can now be pushed towards the east. This allows Link to move the southern block east, north, and finally west. Link can finally claim his reward, which is a Piece of Heart.
