Go down the ramp to the snow area and search for a hole by the mushroom-shaped platforms. Drop through and fight two Dodongos by shooting arrows at their tails. Defeat both for a *Heart Piece*. Back outside, climb up the ramp ahead, then up another one. Shoot the icicle at the top (Tatl will let you Z- Target it) with two arrows, then enter the new area. Go straight, then follow the map left. Bomb the big snowballs blocking your path and continue to the Mountain Village. You should see an *Owl Statue* near the small bridge. Hit it to remember your spot. If you want to, you can talk to the hungry Goron nearby. You'll save him later. Go behind the log cabin and enter another area. Watching for Wolfos that pop up, go over the bridges and stop to buy the *Snowhead Map* from Tingle for 20 rupees (if he's not on the ground, pop his balloon.) Continue across and into the next area. Go around the snow-covered houses and drop to the lowest level. Walk around and you'll find Kaepora Gaebora, the wise owl who also appeared in the Ocarina of Time game. Follow him over the big gap by jumping on the feathers he drops. He'll lead you to a cave. Enter and open the big chest for the *Lens of Truth*. You can use it in this cave and bomb the boulders (the left one has some rupees in a chest.) Exit and use the Lens of Truth to see the winding path. Follow it to the end and, if you still have the Lens on, you can see a ghost! Talk to him, then follow him when he asks you to. Don't keep the Lens on too much or you'll lose a lot of magic power. You can see his shadow on the ground and use it as a guide when the Lens is turned off. He'll stop and wait for you at different points. When he stops, turn on the Lens of Truth and he'll continue. At one point, you need to hop across ice platforms to a wall. Use the Lens of Truth to see a ladder. Go right, left and right at the ladder "forks". You'll eventually make it to the Goron Graveyard. Talk to him again to learn he is Darmani, a deceased Goron King. Play the Song of Healing to heal him. You'll now receive the *Goron Mask*! Put the mask on to become the reincarnation of Darmani. Read the tombstone to learn basic moves (or see my Basic Controls and Actions page for info.) Pull the back of the tombstone to fill the area with hot water. Fill up a bottle with hot water and exit the area quickly. Turn back to normal Link and dump the hot water on the frozen Goron (the one in ice.) Go back to the last area with the hot water and refill another bottle. Quickly, wearing your Bunny Hood, head out and back to the area where you got the map before the water cools down. Go to the lower ground and find the snowball that seems bigger to Tatl (he'll fly to it and turn green.) As Goron Link, punch the snowball to reveal an old frozen Goron (he's called the Goron Elder.) Still as Goron Link, dump the hot water on him to revive him. Talk to him 2 or 3 times. He won't do much for you, unfortunately, after that long trip to save him, but it will help for later. Head back to the last area where you got the Lens of Truth. On the lower grounds, search for the Goron Shrine (it's a big, hard door with a sign next to it.) Do a Goron Stomp to open the door. Enter! You'll hear an annoying crying baby. Head up to the top and go through the opening. Talk to the crying baby, then exit. Head back to the Goron Graveyard and fill another bottle with hot water. With the Bunny Hood on, quickly head back to the map area, where you'll find the Goron Elder frozen solid again (that same snowball.) Punch the snowball as Goron Link and revive him with the hot water as Goron Link. Talk to him twice and you'll mention the crying baby and the old Goron will teach you part of the Goron Lullaby. He doesn't remember the rest of it. That's okay, he is old after all! Head back to the Goron Shrine and play the Goron Lullaby (the part that you know) in front of the baby Goron. The baby will sing the rest and the song will be complete. Almost every Goron in the shrine will fall asleep! The torches will be lit in the baby's room. As normal Link, wearing the Bunny Hood, light a Deku Stick, then run around and light all the torches in the shrine. When you do, the chandelier on the ceiling will start spinning. As Goron Link, in front of the baby's room, roll towards the chandelier and build up speed. When you're fully loaded, roll over the small ramp into the chandelier. Try to break the spinning pots. One of them will drop a big piece of meat. As Goron Link, carry the meat out of the shrine and go back to the area where the hungry Goron was. Throw the meat up there and the Goron will reward you with the *Don Gero Mask* (a frog.) When you're finished that, you are ready to start the next dungeon, Snowhead Temple. While in this area, after freeing the hungry Goron, go over the small bridge to a new area. As Goron Link, roll over the gaps and watch out for the snowballs! Make your way through and hit the *Owl Statue* at the end so you don't have to go through that last area again! A big Goron is blocking the entrance to the temple. Take out your Ocarina (drums as Goron Link) and play the newly learned Goron Lullaby. The Goron will fall asleep and fall off the edge of the cliff! Go up the path, avoiding snowballs and Wolfos. At the top, enter Snowhead Temple.
