Zelda Ocarina Of Time on N64 - Zelda's Return
save

Teleport to the Temple of Time. You meet Sheik, who explains that you only have one battle left, the one against Ganondorf, the lord of evil. He also tells you the legend of the sacred triangles resting in a mystical place. The world will transform, according to the soul of the man finding these triangles, into paradise or chaos. The Triforce balances Power, Wisdom and Courage, and if the bearer preserves this balance, he will have absolute power, otherwise, he will only keep the part that corresponds to him the most and the 2 other parts will go to the chosen ones of destiny who will keep the mark of the Triforce on the back of their hand. This is what happened when you took the sword for the first time and Ganon took advantage of it to reach the Sacred Realm. Ganon possesses the Triforce of power and is searching for the holders of the 2 other parts. Sheik then shows you the symbol of wisdom on the back of his hand and reveals to you that you hold the one of courage. He then transforms into Zelda. She tells you that she disguised herself as a Sheikah for 7 years waiting for your awakening while Ganon was spreading desolation in Hyrule. Now, the plan is simple, the 6 sages will open the seal to lure Ganon into the Sacred Realm and you must protect Zelda so she can close the door forever. She gives you the Arrow of Light which will allow you to dispel the lord of evil. Ganon then arrives and captures Zelda in a pink crystal, thanking you for making her lower her guard. He takes Zelda to his castle where he awaits you to take the last fragment of the Triforce and thus dominate the world. Before going there, buy one or 2 blue potions just in case.

Ganon's Castle

Head towards Ganon's castle and after picking up the skulltula on the broken bridge, approach the door so that Rauru creates a bridge with the help of the other sages (1). Cross this bridge to find yourself in Ganon's Castle. Go down the corridor and pass through the first door to arrive in the first room of the tower. This central room will lead you to the 7 parts of the castle (6 branches (forest, fire, water, spirit, shadow and light) and the tower itself leading to Ganon, inaccessible as long as the others have not been completed. To complete a part, you will need to shoot an arrow of light at an energy ball (as illustrated in image 3). In the rooms with balls, remember to break the pots if needed. You will often find bombs, arrows, magic there... Start with the Forest Temple, just to the left of the start, you will then take the doors one after the other (turning counterclockwise).

Ganon's Castle - Forest

Kill the Wolfos and use Din's Fire to light the 4 central torches. Then use the Fire Arrow to light the torch above the door (1) and go through the door. Turn to the left and play the Song of Time to make a block appear. Put on your Hover Boots, climb onto the block and grab the first ruby when the fan stops and wait for it to restart to try to reach the platform of the second ruby (2). Then wait for the fan across from you to stop to go press the button then use your hookshot to return to the platform and find a third ruby. "Fly" to the platform in the middle, take the ruby on the right (3) then go take the 5^th ruby in front of the door. Then wait for the fan to stop to make a round trip taking the last ruby. Go through the door, shoot a Light Arrow at the sphere and go open the Water door.

Ganon's Castle - Water

In the first room, stalactites fall from everywhere, go around the stalagmites surrounding the fire once or twice to avoid the falling ice then destroy the stalagmites with your sword and take the fire in a bottle. Also kill the 2 frozen enemies. Go melt the pink ice, take the fire again and go through the door. Go push the block at the back to the right then toward the entrance (2) to make it fall into the hole. Then push the other block so that it passes over the first one then toward the entrance (3). Finally push it toward the pink ice wall and go melt it with your blue flame. Press the button using the Megaton Hammer and go through the door that opened after putting the fairy that is in the jar in a bottle. Shoot a Light Arrow at the orb and go take the Shadow door.

Ganon's Castle - Shadow

Use your Fire Arrow to light the torch on the right (1) and cross very quickly the room to the platform with a black tile (after the pudding platform). Use your Lens of Truth to see the path (2) leading to a switch that you must press with the hammer. Go back and use the Fire Arrow to light the torch near the door while staying near the black tile. Quickly descend along the blocks (3) to press the button and climb back up just as quickly to the platform. Take the Golden Gauntlets in the chest and use the Lens of Truth to go through the door at the back. Use the Light Arrow on the energy orb and go take the Fire door.

Ganon's Castle - Fire

Start by putting on the Goron Tunic and the Hover Boots, so you won't have a time limit and the floor won't sink (except for the small platforms). Go take the ruby on the platform just to the right then the other one across behind the statues that spit fire (1). Go back and go lift the large stone pillar (2) thanks to the Golden Gauntlets. Then go to the corner of the room, kill the fire slug (don't take the ruby, it's better to take it last) and cross over the lava (3) to take the ruby. Quickly turn around to jump back quickly onto the stone (put on your Kokiri Boots) and go take the last ruby. Hook yourself next to the door with the hookshot, go through the door and shoot a Light Arrow at the orb then go take the Light door which is behind the large stone pillar that you'll have to lift.

Ganon's Castle - Light

Use your Lens of Truth to see the monsters and kill them all to get a small key. Before going through the door, you can open one chest out of 2 starting with the one to the left of the entrance (the others are trapped). Go through the door, play Zelda's Lullaby to get another small key and take the locked door. Go hide inside the structure in the middle and use your hookshot on the target on the ceiling to find the first ruby. Then go around the room to find the others and take the door that opens. Use your Lens of Truth to see the door, go through it and shoot an arrow at the sphere (I advise you to kill the wallmaster that falls from the ceiling first).

Ganon's Castle - Spirit

Start by killing the Beamos in the middle of the room then take the 4 rubies on the ground by pulling the statues so that the spikes take more time to make their path. Use your hookshot to take the last ruby on the ceiling (just above the Beamos) and take the door. Kill the fire slugs then do a jump attack to activate the switch through the grate. Take the Bombchus in the chest and use them to activate the switch by making them pass through the hole above the grate (1). Take the door and advance to the room where you need to shoot a Fire Arrow at the spider web in the middle of the ceiling (2) to make the light shine. Position yourself in the circle of light and light up the suns with the shields to open the door. If you light up one of the 3 wrong ones, a noise is heard, move quickly because a wallmaster will arrive in the room. Once avoided, light up another sun then take the door when it opens and use your Light Arrow to destroy the sphere.

Ganon's Tower

Before climbing the tower whose protective shield has disappeared, exit the castle and go lift the stone column at the foot of the cliff. Play Zelda's lullaby so that the fairy increases your endurance, you will now be twice as resistant. Return to the castle and enter the tower. Quickly climb the first stairs to avoid being bothered by the fire bats. Kill the 2 Dinolfos, and go to the upper floor. Kill the 2 Stalfos, take the golden key and go up another floor. To kill the 2 axe-meat monsters without trouble, I advise you to only wake them up one by one. They always only have 2 attacks, the first strikes the ground and you can counterattack immediately. The second is a horizontal attack and you will have to wait before striking because he immediately puts a second blow in the other direction. Then follow the path by opening the doors and climbing the stairs.
