Walkthrough

This is my Walkthrough for Master Quest, the second quest to Ocarina of Time. Because the only differences between this game and the original are the dungeons I've only included walkthroughs for the dungeons in this section. If you're having problems outside a dungeon, consult my Ocarina of Time walkthrough. The only additional thing you'll need that isn't required in the original game is the Scarecrow's Song, which you can read about in my Extra Stuff section. If you aren't sure about anything, send me a letter and I'll help you out as best as I can.

Inside the Deku Tree
Climb the ladder on the ledge to the left. Run along the path. When you get close to the wall covered in vines Navi will talk to you.
Navi: Look at this wall! The vines growing on it give it a rough surface... Maybe you can climb it, Link!
Climb the wall and look for a switch on the upper floor. Step on it and the cobweb blocking the door will burn as the torch lights up. Go to the door.
Navi: You can open a door by standing in front of it and pressing A. Pay attention to what the Action Icon says. That's the green icon at the top of the screen!
Defeat all the enemies in the next room. Once you've done that a treasure chest will appear and the iron bars blocking the door will be lifted. Step on the switch and jump across the platforms to reach the treasure chest, then open it to find the slingshot. Go back outside and jump off of one of the ledges. Try to land on the cobweb. If you do so, you'll break through it and fall to the next floor. Step on the switch near the gate to light the torch. Shoot the eye above the door and the iron bars blocking the door will be lifted. Light a Deku Stick and take it to the next room. Light the torches near the other door to lift the iron bars. Go to the next room and step on the switch. Light a Deku Stick before the flame goes out, then jump on the moving platform. Duck under the spikes by pressing R. Light both of the torches, then climb on the block to reach the door. In the next room, defeat all the enemies and the iron bars blocking the door will be lifted. In the room after that step on the switch in the middle of the room. Light a Deku Stick on fire and use it to burn down the cobweb you're pointed at. Crawl through the passage and run toward the block.
Navi: Stand next to this block and grab hold of it with A. While holding A, you can push or pull it. If you stand next to the block and press A while pressing the control stick towards the block, you can climb on top of it. Pay attention to what the Action Icon says!
Push the block off the ledge, then light a Deku Stick and use it to burn down the cobweb in the floor. Fall through the hole. Defeat the Deku Scrubs in the following order: right, left, center. Talk to the last one you defeat.
Deku Scrub: How did you know our secret?! How irritating! It's so annoying that I'm going to reveal the secret of Queen Gohma to you! In order to administer the coup de grace to Queen Gohma, strike with your sword while she's stunned. Oh, Queenie... Sorry about that!
Go through the door. Walk forward a little bit.
(Cinema Scene)
The view is of what Gohma sees. She is coming closer to you. The door closes.
Look up at the glowing eye on the ceiling.
(Cinema Scene)
Gohma drops from the ceiling. The words "Parasitic Armored Arachnid Gohma" appear.
Boss Fight: Queen Gohma
Queen Gohma is very easy. Hit her in the eye using the slingshot. Immediately start giving her all you've got, and repeatedly slash the eye. When she gets back up she will go onto the ceiling. If you hit her again she will drop, and you can hit her some more. If you don't hit her on the ceiling, she will drop Gohma Larva on you. Defeat them and she will drop. Repeat this pattern until you've won.
(Cinema Scene)
Queen Gohma burns up in a blue flame.
Walk into the light.
Dodongo's Cavern
Pick up a Bomb Flower and blow up the wall. Run forward.
Navi: It looks like there are many lava pits around here, so watch your step!
Pick up the Bomb Flower on the center platform and use it to blow up the rock at the far right side of the room. Step on the switch and the nearest platform will go up to the second floor. Ride the platform up, then jump off at the top and run across the bridge. Step on the switch and the iron bars blocking the door directly beneath it will open. Go through the door and blow up the wall across the staircase. Use a Deku Stick to light the Bomb Flower growing on the wall, then quickly toss it in front of the staircase. If done correctly, the Bomb Flowers surrounding it will blow up, lowering it. Now collect all the silver Rupees. There is one under a Beamos, one in front of the door that you have to go through, and the rest are in crates. Once you've collected them all the iron bars blocking the door will be lifted. Defeat all the enemies in the next room and the iron bars blocking the door will be lifted and a treasure chest will appear. Go through the door and run across the bridge to the next room. Set each of the blocks underneath a torch, then light them all. This will cause another torch in the room to light up, and the iron bars blocking the door will be lifted. Head for the doorway across the room and light a Deku Stick. Quickly run down the hall, light a torch, burn down the cobweb, defeat the Skulltula, and light the last torch. Move the block to the left of the ledge to the other side of the room and climb up onto the ledge. Take a flame to the Bomb Flower growing on the wall and use it to blow up the wall. Go through the door and defeat the Lizalfos'. The iron bars blocking the door will be lifted. Hit the crystal switch at the far left side of the next room and the fire on the first platform will go down. Quickly jump onto it and turn left. Get the Bomb Flower and use it to blow up the rock on the right side of the room. Step on the switch and hit the crystal switch again, then jump across both platforms before the fire comes back. Keep running forward until you reach a Bomb Flower and some rocks. Blow up the rocks, then use the Bomb Flower to blow up a wall on the ledge beneath you. In the next room jump on the platform next to the wall and it will raise you up. Grab the Bomb Flower and use it to blow up the row of Bomb Flowers growing further down the hall. When you've done that the rock at the end of the row will get blown up. Shoot the eye and the iron bars blocking the door will be lifted. Go to the next room and defeat the Lizalfos'. This will cause the iron bars blocking the door to be lifted. Go through the door and use the Bomb Flower growing on the other side of the room to blow up the row of Bomb Flowers growing up the pillar. The chain reaction of explosions will cause the iron bars blocking the door to be lifted. Go through the door and open the treasure chest to get the bomb bag. Ride the platform to the second floor and jump onto the giant Dodongo. Put a bomb in each eye and its mouth will open. Go inside and run down the hallway on the right. Toss a bomb over the flaming wall to hit the crystal switch on the other side. Climb over the wall before the flames return, then blow up the Bomb Flowers growing behind the Armos'. The chain reaction will hit a crystal switch which will create a block that will let you reach the ledge. Run down the hallway and pull the tombstone back. Step on the switch and the iron bars blocking the door will be lifted. Blow up the brown part of the floor in the next room and drop down the hole
Boss Fight: King Dodongo
Defeating King Dodongo is not a hard task. When he opens his mouth throw a bomb into it. When he turns red and falls slash him with your sword, then run 180 degrees around the room in the direction he is facing. Do this a few times, and you've won.
(Cinema Scene)
King Dodongo starts rolling, but is out of control. He rolls into the lava, and burns up.
Now walk into the light.

I have no idea what you're talking about! My father is worried about me? I don't care! Anyway, I can't go home right now. And you... Get out of here! Understand?
She falls through a hole in the floor.
Princess Ruto: Ooooh Noooooo!
Jump down and talk to her.
Princess Ruto: Are you still hanging around here? I told you to go away! I'm OK, I've been going inside Lord Jabu-Jabu since I was little, but... Lord Jabu-Jabu is very strange today... There are electrified jellyfish and strange holes around... On top of that, my precious stone was...but... That's none of your business! Anyway... You! Go home now! Understand?
Talk to her again.
Princess Ruto: You're that worried about me? Then I will give you the honor of carrying me! However...I won't leave until I find the thing I'm looking for. You'd better believe me!

Princess Ruto: That's it! That's what I've been looking for! Throw me up there! Onto the platform!
Throw her onto the platform.

Princess Ruto picks up the Spiritual Stone of Water.
Princess Ruto: Oh my goodness! I finally found... My mother's stone... I got very upset when Lord Jabu-Jabu swallowed it... While I was feeding him he suddenly swallowed me! I was so surprised I dropped it inside... But, now that I've found it, I don't need to be here anymore! So, take me home, right now!
Run forward.

The platform flies up.
Princess Ruto: Keeeyaaaah! What is this?! An octopus?!
The platform comes back down with a creature that resembles an octopus on it.

Boss Fight: Barinade
First, Z-Target it, and use the boomerang to hit it. Keep running around in circles to avoid its electric bolts. After a few hits, the Bari will make a huge circle and move around the room counter-clockwise. Aim for its body with the boomerang. Once you've hit it, repeatedly slash it. This time the Bari will form a smaller circle around it, and Barinade moves around as well. Difficult as it may seem, try to hit it with the boomerang. Once you've hit it, aim for the Bari. Once you're destroyed them all, Barinade will get up, fly around the room, and shoot electricity at you. Once again, hit it with your boomerang, and then with your sword. Do this a few more times, and victory will be yours.
