| The Deku Tree | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mini Boss: Three Deku shrubs. You must bounce their nuts back in the correct order. Hit the center one first, then the one on the right, and finally the one on the left. Don't take too long or they'll revive. Boss: Gohma. Hit her with the slingshot when her eye turns red. Then, when she's stunned, hit her with your sword many times. Then watch as she climbs to the ceiling. Sometimes her eye will turn red up there. You can hit her with the slingshot and she'll fall. Otherwise she'll drop some baby Gohmas. kill them with your sword. |

| Dodongo's Cavern | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mini Boss: Lizardfos. Whe it strikes or jumps over you, use your shield. Then just keep jabbing at it with your sword. It takes a little practice, but it can be done. Boss: King Dodongo. Ignore the Bomb flowers. Get out of his way when he is rolling, and follow him when he passes you. When he's lumbering up to you, just run up in front of him. He'll open his mouth. Take out a bomb quickly and throw it in his mouth. He'll fall to the ground. Hit him once with your sword and then run for cover. Repeat as many times as necessary. |

| Jabu Jabu's Belly | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mini Boss: Bigocto. Hit him with the boomerang to stun him. Keep doing this until you stunned him with his back toward you. hen hit the shiny globe thing on his back. Repeat until he's dead. Boss: Barinade. The easiest way to defeat Barinade is to Z target him and run circles around him. Use the boomerang continuously. That way, the electric flash things won't hit you. Keep killing the electric jelly fish after they detach from Barinade. When you stun Barinade, use your sword. |

| Forest Temple | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mini Boss: The Poe sisters. Hit the pictures the first two are in when they are in them. After you hit all three, a poe will appear. Hit them with your bow when they appear. For the third one, move the blocks together so they form a poe. Ignore the fake box. The last poe you just need to hit them until you hit the real one. Boss: Phantom Ganon. Stand on one of the Triforce symbols in a corner and aim for the two pictures in front of you. If Ganon comes out of either one, Z taget immediately and shoot arrows. After three times he will lose his horse. Then swing your sword at the energy beams he shoots at you. If you hit him with one, he'll fall. Use your sword. If he bounces it back to you, you might want to just move instead of playing with him. |

| Fire Temple | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mini Boss: Scarecrow guy. Throw a bomb at him when he comes out of the flame. Then repeatedly hit him with arrows. Repeat Boss: Volvagia. Stand out of the way until he comes out of a pit. If you are near it, Z target and hit him with a hammer. Then use your sword. If not, try the next time. When he flies through the air breathing fire on you, run in a circular motion. When he drops rocks on you, do the same. After a little while he'll start tricking you at pretending to come out of other holes before he chooses one, so be careful. |

| Water Temple | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mini Boss: Dark Link. The easiest way is simply to use Din's fire or the Hammer. If you want to fight with swords, do NOT use Z targeting. Boss: Morpha. Do not try to stand on the blocks in the pool. Just stand on the edge. When a whirl pool forms, Z Target and start moving away, then use the hookshot when you can see the ameoba above the pool. Hit it with your sword before it enters the water. Be sure you don't stand too close to any of the arms the ameoba creates, or it will grab you. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Shadow Temple | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mini Boss: Stalfos. Just defeat the two stalfos on the barge before it starts to sink. If you can't, then ignore them and jump off. Boss: Bongo Bongo. You will need the eye of truth. Hit the two hands with your arrows. Then use the eye of truth to find Bongo Bongo's eye. Hit it with an arrow and then slash it with your sword. If you wear the iron boots, then you won't bounce as much, but it is harder to move around. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Spirit Temple | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mini Boss: Ironknuckle. You may want to use Naryu's love. Avoid his ax attacks and hit him before he recovers from a swing. If you can get him to hit a pillar, it will give you hearts. Boss: Twinrova. Stay on the center altar. Hold out the mirror shield. When they are in the same place and one attacks, aim the reflection at the other one. Keep this up (it's slow but effective) until they combine. They will shoot 3 blasts in a row of either fire or ice. If you hit all three with your shield, it will reflect it back to them. Then hit them with your sword after they fall. Do not mix up the fire and ice blasts. |
