Ocarina of Time Dungeons: Difference between revisions

Another dungeon located inside a guardian creature, Jabu-Jabu's Belly is found in [[Zora's Fountain]] behind [[Zora's Domain]]. To enter, use the [[Silver Scale]] to find [[Ruto's Letter]] in [[Lake Hylia]], then show this letter to [[King Zora De Bon XVI|King Zora]]. Use the bottle to capture a fish and drop it before [[Lord Jabu-Jabu]] to be sucked inside his belly. As Princess Ruto is Link's primary objective, her help is needed to open certain doors and keep switches pressed. The dungeon item, the [[Boomerang]], also becomes very helpful for defeating the electric-based creatures throughout the dungeon. Defeating dungeon boss [[Barinade]] rewards the player with the [[Zora's Sapphire]] and a third Heart Container.

Found in [[Kakariko Village]], the Bottom of the Well can be accessed by learning the [[Song of Storms]] from the [[Phonogram Man]] in the future, then returning as a child and playing the song in the [[Windmill (Ocarina of Time)|Windmill]]. As it is intended to be accessed after some of the adult dungeons, Bottom of the Well has much more difficult enemies than the other three child-only dungeons. This includes [[ReDead]]s, [[Like Like]]s, and the miniboss [[Dead Hand]]. The dungeon's only reward is the [[Lens of Truth]], which is necessary to access the Spirit Temple and Shadow Temple.

Link must use his new Iron Boots to sink to the bottom of [[Lake Hylia]] and dislodge the lock with his Hookshot to find the Water Temple. In the temple, Link meets up with Princess [[Ruto]] again, who leads Link further into the dungeon, where he must raise and lower the water level constantly to find a complex collection of Small Keys to advance. He is eventually confronted by [[Dark Link]], and upon conquering himself he finds the [[Longshot]]. With the Longshot, Iron Boots, and [[Zora Tunic]] combined, he is able to traverse the dungeon and defeat its master, [[Morpha]]. Breaking Morpha's influence lets Ruto awaken as a sage and earns Link the [[Water Medallion]] as well as yet another Heart Container.

When Link returns to Kakariko Village with four medallions, he finds the village in flames. Sheik will warn Link to stay back before a shadowy figure emerges from the well and knocks them both unconscious. When Link wakes up, Sheik teaches him the [[Nocturne of Shadow]]. Link must play the song to reach the Shadow Temple; with the [[Lens of Truth]] in hand, gains entry using [[Din's Fire]]. Within the temple Link finds a dungeon similar to The Bottom of the Well as it is filled with [[Redead]]s, [[Stalfos]], and [[Skulltula]]s as well as another [[Dead Hand]]. This dungeon touches on Hyrule's less known dark side. The dungeon item is the [[Hover Boots]], which are required to delve deeper into the harrowing dungeon. Finally, Link comes face-to-face with the dark creature [[Bongo Bongo]]. Killing the creature helps [[Impa]] of the [[Sheikah]] to awaken as a Sage. Link is given the [[Shadow Medallion]] and a Heart Container for his efforts.

Link is finally reunited with [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]], who has masqueraded as Sheik all this time. She grants Link the [[Light Arrow]]s before being captured by Ganondorf. Link uses the sages' power to break the six seals of [[Ganon's Tower]], each based upon their respective medallions. He obtains the [[Golden Gauntlets]] here before climbing to the top of the tower. Here, he confronts Ganondorf in a match of [[Dead Man's Volley]] before defeating the evil king, who then brings the whole tower down on them in his last breath. Link and Zelda escape, but from the wreckage [[Ganon]] finally emerges. This is the final boss of the game; if Link wins, the game is won.
