Shadow Temple dungeon walkthrough in Ocarina of Time
The walkthrough explains how to complete the Shadow Temple, a dungeon in the future section of the Ocarina of Time remake. It centres on using the Lenses of Truth to distinguish real paths and objects from illusions, while avoiding enemies and traps.
Before entering, players need the Lenses of Truth from the Bottom of the Well and Din’s Fire from the Great Fairy Fountain on Death Mountain; the Scarecrow Song is also needed for every Gold Skulltula. The route includes solving a skull puzzle, defeating a Dead Hand to obtain the Hover Boots, and using those boots to cross gaps. The guide also describes finding the dungeon map and compass, and using the Sun’s Song to stun ReDeads.
In short
- Use the Lenses of Truth to reveal hidden paths and objects.
- Defeat Dead Hand to earn the Hover Boots.
- Din’s Fire and the Sun’s Song help clear obstacles and enemies.
Explained simply
Ocarina of Time is an adventure game in which players control Link, a young hero who travels between two periods of his life. The Shadow Temple is one of the dungeons he explores as an adult, and it is built around darkness, hidden routes and traps.
Link’s progress depends on items and abilities gained elsewhere, including the Lenses of Truth, which reveal illusions, and the Hover Boots, which help him cross gaps. Enemies such as Dead Hands and ReDeads can block the way, while tools such as Din’s Fire and the Sun’s Song help with particular obstacles.
The dungeon is part of the game’s wider challenge of exploring unfamiliar places, solving puzzles and collecting items. Optional Gold Skulltulas are hidden throughout the game, and finding every one requires the Scarecrow Song.
