Use the Zora Armour and Iron Boots to safely sink into the water and open two chests for a red rupee (worth 20) and bombs. Follow Oocoo when you meet up with her east, watching the wind direction. Equip the Iron Boots if you get blown around. In the shop, talk to Oocoo at right to have her accompany you, then head back outside. Head north at the far end of the bridge to a locked gate. When the wind dies down, fire an arrow at the switch above the gate and head through the door following. Use an Oocca (the species that Oocoo derives from) to fly off the ledge right. Carefully navigate the tiled floor as blue tiles crumble under your feet. Head west and clawshot the ivy on the pillar to climb up to the upper ledge. Use the clawshot to pull an Oocca towards you, then head north and float towards the ledge there. Defeat the Helmasaur enemies, then climb the ledges at left and head through the north door. Head forward and defeat the Helmasaur King with Back Slices (the Clawshot won’t work here). Head southwest and clawshot the grating over the high window, then drop down through the hole in the grating. Drop to the balcony and use the egg beater move with A in the hole nearby with your spinner to create a bridge. Head north of the balcony to a broken part and clawshot to the ivy wall. Climb to the balcony and head west across the new bridge, again watching the wind gusts. Head through the door across the bridge, then head west along the tiles. Ahead is a chest in a cage. Clawshot to the ceiling target above it to drop down into the cage and open the chest for a Small Key. Pull yourself out by clawshotting the northern grating, then head back a room. Head east across the bridge to reach a door as the Dragon returns, destroying the bridge. Head through the east door. Again, avoid the blue tiles and clawshot to an ivy pillar, crawling around to a safe side to drop off. Head east over the blue tiles to the door. Through it, head right around the corner and defeat two big Deku Babas. Use the hole with your spinner to extend the east bridge. Cross it and head through the locked door. From the right ledge, head towards the southeast end to see a crystal switch behind a pillar to the north. Use the clawshot to activate it and stop the wind. Return noth and head east using the iron boots to navigate along the wall without the wind bothering you. Clawshot to the ivy to avoid walking the blue tiles and drop to the east door, heading through. Open the chest at right for the Dungeon Map, then head back a room. Cross the south bridge of blue tiles to the door there and head through. Head south then east, jumping the platforms, wary of the wind columns that will knock you down and those blasted enemies that hide under the tiles (remember them from the Forest Temple? Ick). Defeat them using the boomerang to expose them, then slash with your sword. Head west to get a yellow rupee (worth 10), then east and finally through the southeast door. Defeat the two Dinolfos using your best sword attacks. Beating them opens a gate. Clawshot to the ivy high up on the south wall, then to the chandelier, which acts as a switch to turn on a wind column. Using an Oocca to fly, jump into the wind when its on to propel yourself up, then float to the ledge north and through the door. Use an Oocca to fly with the wind west to a ledge near the middle of the room. Open the chest on the far west side for a purple rupee (worth 50) by floating that way. From that middle platform, use an Oocca (you may need to use your clawshot to grab one) and ride the wind through the crack on the north wall, then turn west to a ledge. Clawshot the chandelier switch to activate a new wind column at east. Float with an Oocca to it and propel yourself up and through a wall crack at east. Drop down on the other side and through the north door. Float to the north end with an Oocca, watching the horizontal wind columns. Float down to the east side of the bottom floor and through the door there. Use the iron boots and clawshot to the chandelier to pull it and deactivate the wind. Lower yourself while attached to the switch through the fan, then drop to meet a mini-boss, Dragon Knight. Throughout the fight, beware of the blue tiles that will crumble under you. Focus on the dragon’s shield with a clawshot target on it and once he tries to attack you, clawshot the target to bring him in and slash away with your sword. The second phase beings once he flies out a hole in the wall. He will fly in and out of four holes in this room. Keep tracking that target and continue the same strategy to defeat him. Always L-target him as long as he is away from a hole and you’re watching the floor for blue tiles. Clawshot to the target above the gate in the high west area and open the chest for another clawshot that forms the Double Clawshots. This allows you more freedom in hanging from targets and navigating walls like the web slinger you are. Clawshot to the closest ceiling target, then to the east target and lower yourself to see the ivy on the side of the fan. Clawshot it, then climb up and head through the west door. Clawshot up the tower using the targets that encircle it to reach a chandelier switch on the west side. Activate it to open a gate, then clawshot to either target inside the gate and drop off to the door. Inside, clawshot the targets on either side of the room quickly as they lower you with your weight into the abyss below. Hold down the L button to automatically aim at the closest target. Drop off the last target on the west side and open the chest for the Compass, then head through the door there. Clawshot the metal grating under the bridge and destroy the big Deku Babas with your clawshot as you head along. At the west end, clawshot to the ivy on the left and climb up, then head through the west door. Clawshot the pillar with a target hanging from the ceiling, then to the target above the west door. Drop off there and head through the door. Cross the bridge’s gap using the Peahats as clawshot targets. L-target them first to move fast and avoid the birds that fly around. On the west side, head through the door. Clawshot the target to the northwest and lower yourself while attached to the ledge below. Head back east clawshotting the targets on the pillars, moving fast by L-targeting the next one as you move. On the third target, drop to the platform, then clawshot the target through the wall crack north. Clawshot to the next target, heading west using another target, then the grating to move along. Once west, head through the wall crack (lousy architecture) and drop off at the east end to the ledge. Defeat the big Deku Babas hanging from the west ceiling with arrows. Clawshot to the target near them, then lower yourself until you see a crystal switch at north. Clawshot it to open a gate, then clawshot the target next to the gate to reach it. Clawshot your way upwards using targets and grating, then drop to the platform once high enough. Head through the north door. Defeat the Giant Deku Baba using your sword and bomb the remaining eater plant to destroy it. Also defeat the big (though not compared to the giant one) Deku Babas, then clawshot the target on the high west ceiling, then quickly clawshot to the ivy north above you. Drop down from there and climb the ledge east, then slowly navigate it, defeating the Keese with arrows. Open the chest about halfway for more arrows, then continue. Shoot arrows at the big Deku Baba from a distance and defeat the Keese ahead, then grab the edge of the next ledge too narrow to walk and edge your way across. Defeat the Big Deku Baba, then open the chest it guarded for a *Heart Piece*. Crawl back along the narrow ledge and clawshot the target on the weak pillar. Quickly L-target and clawshot to the next target, then to the north ivy. Drop down from there and look to the middle ceiling pillar with a target. Clawshot it, then lower yourself while attached to a ledge below. Defeat the Dinolfos with sword attacks, then head through the south door. Clawshot the Peahat to move over the wall. Drop down on the other side and clawshot another Peahat north. Ride it over a wall, then drop and look south to the big gap. Open a chest in the corner for a red rupee (worth 20). Clawshot the Peahat nearby and look south. Quickly clawshot the peahat by the small island with a tree. Drop to the island and defeat the *Poe Soul* for your growing collection. Open the chest here for a purple rupee (worth 50), then clawshot the Peahat above you, then to the next one, and look north. Lower yourself while attached to pass through the thin crack in the wall. Ride the next Peahat through a hole in the wall, then drop off to the ledge and head through the east door. Clawshot the closest Peahat, then use L-targeting to latch onto the next several Peahats. On the fourth one, look southwest and follow a new series of Peahats to the ledge, then drop and head through the door there. Open the chest on the ledge for a *Heart Piece*, then head back a room. Clawshot the Peahats and on the fifth one, drop to the ledge and head through the door. Head northwest and clawshot the ivy on the high wall, climbing up and left to the ledge. Pick off three Buzzards with arrows from the pillars around the area. As wolf Link, take the rope to the middle tower and head counter-clockwise to the ivy wall. Shoot down the spiders with arrows, then climb the ivy to the south end with a chest and open it for a red rupee (worth 20). Cross the ropes to the eastern platform and defeat the *Poe Soul* there. Open the chest here for a purple rupee (worth 50), then head back to the end of the first rope and go clockwise around the tower starting from the second rope, and around to a door. Head through and defeat the Helmasaur Kings. On the south ceiling, clawshot to the grating, lower yourself a bit while attached, then clawshot to the chandelier at north. Use the iron boots to weigh it down and deactivate the fan. Drop down and open the chest for the Big Key. Hanging by the grating, drop through the pit a level (use the ivy to pull yourself up if you drop too far), then clawshot the grating above you and, while attached, lower yourself through the fan (familiar?). Look north and clawshot to the chandelier switch in the ceiling, using the iron boots to activate it, starting a fan to the north. Drop down and head north through the door atop the stairs. Clawshot the grating on the rotating blades to reach the north end of the bridge. On the lowest blade behind the fan is a purple rupee (worth 50). Drop down through the door at north for a rematch with Dragon Knight (x2). The fight is the same, except you have two Clawshots and he has a twin. The idea is to keep both dragons in sight and work on one while avoiding the other’s attacks. Again, use your clawshot to bring it in and slash with your sword. Once they’re defeated, clawshot the high grating above the south door, then to the grating on the north blade. Activate the crystal switch to the south in the wall with the clawshot to activate the spinner. Clawshot more blades to the very top inactive one. Activate another crystal switch in the north wall to make it spin, then ride the spinner you’re on south and clawshot the target above the boss door. Head on through to meet Argorok, Twilit Dragon. To begin the fight, clawshot the grating on the pillar above, then to the ivy, and climb around and up to the tower. This fight is pretty hard, definitely the toughest so far, so brace yourself. In the first phase, he will divebomb you and try to blow you off the tower with his wings. L-target the tail with the clawshot when he tries that and use the iron boots to weigh him down, dragging him and breaking off his armour. Use your iron boots to defend any wind attacks, then continue until he flies too high to reach. Clawshot one of the four pillars surrounding the tower until you’re high enough to reach the tail, then continue this until a red crystal switch appears on his back to enter phase two. You’ll need to clawshot and climb a pillar, then clawshot Peahats one after the other to avoid a fiery breath attack. Remember to keep L-targeting the Peahats to move fast. If you fall (which is likely to happen) or get hit by his fire attack, you’ll lose a lot off your health meter, so use the skulls along the bottom for extra hearts. Once you’re safe enough behind him, clawshot the switch to pull enough in, then slash with your sword. Continue this, and watch the fire attack to change direction. Just clawshot the other way to avoid it. After the boss is defeated, you get the final Mirror Shard and a Heart Container. Use Midna’s warp and save. Some final errands before moving into the Twilight Palace. Take the Sky Cannon back to Lake Hylia, then warp to Castle Town. Enter the marketplace and find the Star mini-game tent in the west area. Now that you have the Double Clawshots, the game is that much more difficult with a bigger prize, but it’s really fun. Save before attempting this to salvage rupees if you go broke trying to beat this. Just reset and you’ll recover your rupees. To play, use the clawshot to grapple the wall and stick to it to collect even more star orbs along the way up to the highest point of the cage. The easiest way to navigate is to start by standing on the small platform, then collect all the star orbs at the bottom and work your way up. If you win, you get the Giant Quiver that holds up to 100 arrows. Now warp to Kakariko Gorge. Head to the west end with three conjoined rock spires. On the west side by a boulder, look for a target and clawshot it, then to another on the opposite cliff, then to the ivy. Climb up and right to a chest and open it for a *Heart Piece*. That’s the last piece you’ll find in the “overworld” (a.k.a. the land outside the dungeons). Warp to the Mirror Chamber in the desert. Head forward to the mirror itself to begin a cinema where (shocker) Midna is revealed as the true Twilight Princess. Take the stairs that appear and press A at the end to enter the Palace of Twilight.
