Enter the Water Temple

Play the Serenade of Water to warp to Lake Hylia, then go forward and jump off the ledge to land in the deep water. Swim, and stop above the underwater door. Equip the Iron Boots to sink down, then use the Hookshot to hit the blue switch above the door. Go into the door to appear in the dreaded Water Temple.

Water Temple - Small Key Guide

As you explore the Water Temple, you'll require six Small Keys. If you come to a locked door as you follow my directions to the Boss Key and other items in the Temple, use this guide to determine which Small Keys you may have missed.

Small Key One - After finding the first Triforce symbol and lowering the water all the way, drop down the hole in the room. You will land in a room with two unlit braziers and one burning brazier (this is the same hallway where Ruto was first seen). Shoot arrows through the flame to light the other braziers, then enter the door and destroy the three Shell Blade enemies. Open the treasure chest which appears for a Key.

Small Key Two - From the first Triforce symbol, drop down to the bottom. Go through the hallway to reappear back in the main room. Follow the left wall to the second doorway, and walk down the hallway to find a large block. Push the block forward all the way, drop into the water and equip the Iron Boots. Go through the short hallway to the end, remove the Iron Boots and get out of the water. Walk forward to the edge of the platform, hit the shock- switch and use the pillar of water to cross to the other side.

Enter the door, go into the water and equip the Iron Boots in the far-right corner of the room to land on a gray vent shaft. Use the Hookshot to hit the shock-switch in the mouth of the dragon statue to open a gate in the alcove on the right. Use the Hookshot on the target in the alcove, quickly go to the other end of the alcove, then remove the Iron Boots and get on land. Open the treasure chest for a Key.

Small Key Three - After raising the water to the middle level, exit the pillar and equip the Iron Boots. Enter the lowest underwater hallway to the right of the entrance (the hallway with the two torches if front of it). Walk to the room at the end of the hallway, then stand in the middle of the room, remove the Iron Boots and rise to the surface. Bomb the cracked wall, enter the new opening and open the treasure chest for a Key.

Small Key Four - After raising the water to the middle level, immediately equip the Iron Boots and drop back to the first level of the tower. Drop into the hole next to the door and fall down the shaft to the bottom. Follow the passage around to a small room with a shock- switch. Hit the switch to open the grating above the switch, then defeat the enemies that fall through to open a second grating. Stand below the second opening, remove the Iron Boots and float to the surface. Exit the water and open the treasure chest for a Key.

Small Key Five - In the room where the Longshot is found, play the Song of Time to remove the blue block and create a hole. Fall into the hole to land next to a river. Equip the Iron Boots and wade downstream, avoiding the vortex pools. At the end, get on the last small ledge. Hit the eye switch on the wall with an arrow, then Longshot to the treasure chest in the new opening. Open the small chest for a Key.

Small Key Six - After getting the Longshot, return to the main room. Follow the left wall and enter the first hallway (the same hallway where you first see Ruto). Rise to the surface and play Zelda's Lullaby at The Triforce symbol to lower the water all the way. Return to the main chamber and enter the center building. Use the Longshot to reach the next level and play Zelda's Lullaby at the Triforce symbol to raise the water to the middle level. Exit the room and go left around two corners.

Use the Bow to hit the yellow eye switch to temporarily open a gate to the hallway, and use the Longshot to grab the target to enter this hallway. Follow the hallway to a block, and pull it out as far as it can go. Continue to the end of the hallway, Hookshot to the next level and return to the main room. Drop down to the water, get on the ledge and go left to return to the yellow eye switch. Enter the hallway again and continue to the block. Move the block forward to reveal a room and open the chest for a Key.

Water Temple - Locate the First Triforce Symbol

From the Temple entrance, go forward into the water and swim along the right wall to a ledge. Equip the Iron Boots to sink down to the bottom and enter the underwater tunnel, which has two braziers at the entrance. Walk to the end of the hallway to locate Princess Ruto. After an automatic sequence, follow her up by removing the Iron Boots in the middle of the room. Go to the surface and get out of the water, then stand next to The Triforce symbol on the wall and play Zelda's Lullaby to lower the water all the way.

Water Temple - Locate the Second Triforce Symbol

After locating the first Triforce symbol and lowering the water, drop down to the bottom. Go through the hallway to reappear back in the main room. Follow the left wall to the second doorway, push the block forward all the way and enter this area for a Small Key. Return to the main room and enter the locked door to get inside the center building. Walk to the far wall, turn around to face the door and look up and right. Use the Hookshot to pull yourself to the ledge, then stand next to The Triforce symbol on the wall and play Zelda's Lullaby to raise the water to the second level.

Water Temple - Locate the Third Triforce Symbol

After raising the water to the second level, exit the center building through the door on the opposite wall. Facing away from the door, turn right. Go forward into the water, equip the Iron Boots and enter the tunnel between the two torches. Stop when you reach the first brazier (the same spot where Ruto was found), remove the Iron Boots and rise to the surface. Bomb the crack in the wall and enter the new room.

Open the treasure chest for a Small Key, drop into the water, equip the Iron Boots and exit back out to the main room. Remove the Iron Boots to surface and swim left along the wall. Enter the first locked door on the left and walk left to a short water pillar. Get on the water pillar and hit the shock-switch with an arrow. Ride the water pillar up, enter the next door and stand next to The Triforce symbol on the wall. Play Zelda's Lullaby to make the water rise to the highest level.

Water Temple - Find Shadow Link

After raising the water to the highest level, drop into the water, swim left along the wall and enter the locked door. Drop to the moving platform, and when it's at its lowest point jump to the non-moving platform. Use the Hookshot to grab onto the moving platforms and work your way to the top. At the top, enter the locked door. Hit the shock-switch to raise the water, then use the Hookshot on the nearest pillar. Hit the shock-switch again to lower the water, then walk to the corner and Hookshot to the next ledge.

Climb over the statue head, walk to the edge and hit the shock-switch again to raise the water. Once the water raises, Hookshot to the next pillar and hit the shock-switch again. After the water lowers, stand on the statue head and hit the shock-switch one last time to be raised up. Enter the alcove, destroy the Like Like, then Hookshot over the spikes. Enter the door and walk to the other door. Go across the room to the far door, then turn around to see meet Shadow Link.

Water Temple - Defeat Shadow Link, Get Longshot

Shadow Link copies many of Link's moves, so this is a very challenging battle. Attack him with the Hammer without Z- Targeting for a very effective attack. Other weapons you'll find useful include the Spin Attack and Din's Fire. Link will have to defeat several Shadow Links, so be sure to have a Fairy or two stashed in a Bottle for some extra energy. When the last Shadow Link is defeated, enter the door and open the big treasure chest for the Longshot.

Water Temple - Lower the Water

In the room where the Longshot is found, go behind the treasure chest that had the Longshot and play the Song of Time to remove the blue block and create a hole. Fall into the hole to land next to a river. Equip the Iron Boots and wade downstream, avoiding the vortex pools. At the end, get on the last small ledge. Hit the eye switch on the wall with an arrow, then Longshot to the treasure chest in the new opening. Open the small chest for a Small Key, then walk to the end of the hall and drop into the pool. Get on land, go through the door, and use the Longshot to get to the other side of the room.

Jump in the water and equip the Iron Boots, then go to the end of the underwater tunnel, remove the Iron Boots and resurface in the main room. Re-equip the Iron Boots, follow the wall either direction, and enter the door between the two torches. Follow the hallway to the room at the end, remove the Iron Boots and rise to the surface. Get on land, stand next to The Triforce symbol on the wall and play Zelda's Lullaby to lower the water all the way.

Water Temple - Get the Boss Key

After lowering the water again, drop down and go through the hallway to return to the main room. Follow the right wall, enter the first doorway, and dive down into the next room. Get on land, use the Longshot to fly across the spikes and enter the locked door. Go forward to the water, then go left to the middle of the second tile from the left. Drop into the water and swim across the room, avoiding the boulders and vortex pools.

Get on land on the other side and enter the door. Drop to the nearest ledge on the right and Bomb the crack in the wall to create an opening. Swim to the other platform in the room and bomb the discolored wall to create an second opening and enter it. Push the large block forward all the way, then exit the hallway and enter from the other opening. Pull the block out as far as you can and enter the hallway from the opposite end.

Push the block into the gap and onto the underwater switch to raise the water level, then swim to the alcove and enter the door. Hit the shock-switch, quickly cross the gap using the three water pillars and enter the door. Avoiding the rolling rock, go into the deep water on the right and equip the Iron Boots. Walk to the end of the underwater hallway, remove the Iron Boots and enter the locked door. Open the big treasure chest for the Boss Key.

Water Temple - Find the Boss

Exit the room where you found the Boss Key, and return to the main room. Play Zelda's Lullaby at the second and third Triforce switches to raise the water to the top, then locate the opening with a Hookshot Target embedded in a dragon head and use the Longshot to reach it. Enter the door, go up the ramp while avoiding the razors, and enter the door to find the Boss, Morpha.

Water Temple - Defeat Morpha
