UNLOCK THE ENTRANCE
Down the hallway and past some Green Bubbles, you'll find two
Armos and an Iron Knuckle guarding the door leading to the inside of
Ganon's Castle. Concentrate on defeating the Iron Knuckle first, then
work on the Armos. Try to defeat them before they hop off of their
pedestals. Once the enemies are eliminated, the door will unlock.

BATTLEPREPARATIONS
Underneath the bridge leading to Ganondorf's Tower, use the Lens of
Truth to reveal a secret passage. Inside you will find a group of Fairies
surrounded by Deku Scrubs. Deflect the Deku Nuts back at the Deku
Scrubs with the Hylian Shield to see what they have for sale. When battle depletes your supplies, revisit this hidden room to stock up again.

DEMOLITION AXE
Although the Spirit Medallion was the last Medallion you collected,
you should enter the Spirit Chamber first. Head to left of the
entrance to Ganon's Castle and look for the door with the Spirit
Medallion above it. Inside, eliminate the Torch Slug and Keese, then
activate the Eye Switch above the door to drop an Iron Knuckle into
the room. Lure the Iron Knuckle near the structure in the middle of the
room before you defeat it. The Iron Knuckle will destroy the structure
with his axe, revealing a rusty switch. Once the Iron Knuckle is
defeated, use the Megaton Hammer to hit the switch and unlock the
next door.

BOMBCHU THROUGH
Eliminate the Green Bubbles to give yourself some breathing room,
then open the small treasure chest. Send a Bombchu through the hole
at the top of the bars to activate the Crystal Switch on the other
side, unlocking the door.

SUN SYMBOL SECRETS
Play the Sun's Song to stun the Gibdo and ReDead, then
shoot a Fire Arrow to burn the cobwebs covering the hole in
the ceiling. Direct the sunlight coming through the ceiling at
the sun symbols on the wall with the Mirror Shield to burn them
away. Three sun symbols will drop small treasure chests, one of
which contains a Small Key. One of the sun symbols will drop a
Wallmaster, and another will drop a large treasure chest containing
the Golden Gauntlets. The Golden Gauntlets allow you to move even
bigger boulders. Collect everything, then reflect sunlight onto the
Spirit Medallion above the door to unlock it.
THE SPIRIT BARRIER
THE KEY ON THE LEDGE
Once you're back inside Ganon's Castle, enter the door with the
Forest Medallion above it. Defeat the two Stalfos to unlock the next
door. Before you enter the room, equip your Iron Boots and use the
Longshot to reach the ledge above the door. The Iron Boots will keep
you from getting blown off the ledge by the fan, allowing you to collect the Small Key.
9
REACH THE LEDGE
Shoot the Eye Switch hidden inside the nearby fan. It will drop a small
treasure chest next to you. Shoot a couple Fire Arrows into the
Armos to make it explode and it will destroy the Beamos next to it.
Equip your Hover Boots and wait for a blast of wind to push you to
the ledge where you eliminated the Beamos.

THE LAST GREAT FAIRY
Before you enter the next chamber, exit Ganon's Castle with your
new Golden Gauntlets. Cross the rainbow bridge and take a left. The
strength of the Golden Gauntlets will allow you to remove the giant
boulder at the end of the path. Inside, summon the Great Fairy by
playing Zelda's Lullaby. She will enhance your defensive power by
reducing the amount of damage enemies inflict on you by half. A
white outline around your health will signify the increase in defense.
Return to Ganon's Castle.
BEAMOS BOMBING
From this ledge, shoot a Fire Arrow into the fan with the frozen Eye
Switch inside to drop a small treasure chest. Throw Bombs from this
ledge to defeat the two nearest Beamos, then jump to the middle pillar and defeat two more.
You will see the source of one of
the barriers in this room. Shoot a
Light Arrow into it to remove the
Spirit Barrier from Ganondorf's
Tower and finish the Spirit
Chamber. Nabooru will take the
place of the barrier and you will
be warped out to the main room.

DROP THE ARMOS
Jump to the ledge with the locked door and defeat the Beamos on
the small pillar nearby. Wait for the fan to stop and jump to the small
pillar. Quickly change to the Iron Boots to stand your ground when
the fan starts blowing again, then play the Song of Time to make a
Time Block appear with an Armos on top of it. Play the Song of Time
again and the new Time Block will disappear, dropping the Armos
onto the blue switch below. This will unlock the door.
12
ICY RUPEES
In this room, you need to collect five Silver Rupees to unlock the door.
There are two movable ice blocks that will reset if you send them into
the abyss in the far corner. Before you start moving the ice blocks,
eliminate the various Keese in the room. Use the Lens of Truth to find
the one Keese that's invisible. Next, collect four of the five Silver
Rupees in the room. The first Silver Rupee will require climbing on the
movable ice blocks and jumping to collect it. The second Silver Rupee
is in a hole in the middle of the floor. Use your Hover Boots to collect
the third Silver Rupee floating above the abyss in the corner. The
fourth Silver Rupee is right below the fifth one, which is encased in
red ice.
THE FOREST BARRIER
Shoot a Light Arrow into the Forest Barrier to remove it from
Ganondorf's Tower and finish the Forest Chamber. Saria will take
the place of the barrier and you will be warped out to the main
room.

BOTTLED BLUE FIRE
15
SLIDE AND GLIDE
Now you can concentrate on removing the red ice that covers the fifth
Silver Rupee and the locked door. First, push one of the movable ice
blocks in front of the locked door. Climb up and remove the red ice
with one of your bottles of Blue Fire. Climb back down and push the
block into the abyss to reset it in its original position. Push the same
block against one of the ice boulders, then push it again to fill the hole
in the floor. Push the other movable ice block over the filled hole so it’s
stopped by an ice boulder, then push it against the other ice boulder.
Finally, push the block across room so it stops underneath the fifth
Silver Rupee encased in red ice. Climb up and melt the red ice with
your second bottle of Blue Fire. Collect the last Silver Rupee to unlock
the door.
Enter the door with the Water Medallion above it. Defeat the
Freezzards in the room to clear the area of annoying enemies. A
fully-charged spin attack near the Dead Hand at Callout 13 will temporarily turn off the fountain in the middle of the room. Quickly fill
an empty bottle with Blue Fire and use it on the red ice blocking the
next door. You can repeat the process to melt the red ice surrounding a small treasure chest and Heart. Before you leave you need to
fill two bottles with Blue Fire for use in the next room. Unlock the
door with a Small Key and go through.
16
THE WATER BARRIER
Shoot a Light Arrow into the Water Barrier to remove it from
Ganondorf's Tower and finish the Water Chamber. Princess Ruto will
take the place of the barrier and you will be warped out to the main
room. You can take this opportunity to refill the bottles you used in the
Water Chamber at the hidden Fairy Fountain mentioned in Callout 2.

BOMB FLOWER SECRET
Enter the door with the Shadow Medallion above it. Once again you
need to collect five Silver Rupees to unlock the door on the other side
of the room. Hit the Bomb Flower on the nearby ledge with a Fire
Arrow to reveal a small treasure chest on the other nearby ledge. Shoot
your Longshot into the small treasure chest to pull yourself to the
ledge, then open the small treasure chest. Use the Lens of Truth and
Hover Boots to reach the invisible moving platform. Collect the first
Silver Rupee on this platform, then use the Hover Boots again to reach
the second Silver Rupee next to the Bomb Flower.

18
COLLECT ANOTHER KEY
From the invisible moving platform, use the Hover Boots to reach the
platform with the Beamos. Bomb the Beamos to collect the third Silver
Rupee. Light the torch with a Fire Arrow to reveal a clear block, which
allows you to reach the next platform with two Beamos. Hover to the
clear block and eliminate both Beamos with one Bomb. Turn around
and shoot an Arrow into the Eye Switch to reveal a small treasure chest
with a Small Key inside.
BRIDGING THE GAP
Use the Lens of Truth to reveal a thin clear path leading to the Beamos.
Carefully walk the path and defeat the Beamos to collect the fourth
Silver Rupee. Return to the nearby platform and use the Lens of Truth
again to see another thin clear path leading past a guillotine to the
locked door. When you reach the guillotine, time a roll to jump over the
gap and collect the fifth Silver Rupee, unlocking the door. Follow the
path to the ledge and enter the next room.
THE SHADOW BARRIER
THE THIRD RUPEE
After collecting the second Silver Rupee, jump back to moving platform. Make your way to the platform at Callout 23. This is another platform that will raise and lower. From here, use your Longshot to reach
the Hookshot point. Aim for the top portion of the Hookshot point to
make sure you can climb on top of it, then jump down and collect the
third Silver Rupee.
24
20
THE SECOND RUPEE
Now you must time a jump to the next moving platform below. Take a
second to assess the timing of your jump before taking the leap. If you
fall into the lava, you must start the room over again. From the moving
platform, throw Bombs at the Beamos to eliminate it, then jump to the
platform with the giant boulder. The Golden Gauntlets will allow you to
pick up and throw the giant boulder, revealing the second Silver Rupee.
23
19
THE FIRST RUPEE
Equip the Goron Tunic and enter the door with the Fire Medallion above it.
For the third time, you must collect five Silver Rupees to unlock the door
at the other end of the room. Jump onto the moving platform. When it
moves all the way to the right, quickly jump to the platform at Callout 21.
Instead of sinking into the lava, this platform will raise and lower. At the
top of its ascent, do a back flip to collect the first Silver Rupee.
THE FOURTH RUPEE
Jump to moving platform at Callout 24 and ride it to collect the fourth
Silver Rupee. You can try to eliminate the Torch Slugs on the nearby
platform before jumping over to it, or jump to the platform and defeat
them before they knock you into the lava. Pick up the giant boulder and
throw it across the room. It will land underneath the fifth Silver Rupee.
Shoot a Light Arrow into the
Shadow Barrier to remove it
from Ganondorf's Tower and finish the Shadow Chamber. Impa
will take the place of the barrier
and you will be warped out to
the main room.

THE FIFTH RUPEE
28
Use your Longshot to pull yourself back to the Hookshot point. Once
again, aim for the top portion of the Hookshot point to make sure you
can climb on top of it. From the Hookshot point, equip your Hover
Boots and float to the platform at Callout 23. This is the same moving
platform you jumped to before. Carefully time a jump onto the giant
boulder to collect the fifth Silver Rupee. This will unlock the door and
reveal a Hookshot point next to it. Use your Longshot to reach the
unlocked door and enter.

29
THE FIRE BARRIER
END OF THE LINE?
At first this room appears to be a dead end. With the Lens of Truth you
will see a clear block obstructing the entrance to the final room of the
Spirit Chamber. Hidden inside the torch on the right side is a Crystal
Switch. Swipe at the torch to activate the Crystal Switch, then enter
the last room of the Spirit Chamber when the block is removed.
Shoot a Light Arrow into the Fire
Barrier to remove it from
Ganondorf's Tower and finish
the Fire Chamber. Darunia will
take the place of the barrier and
you will be warped out to the
main room.
27
THE KEY TO THE END
From here on you must have two Small Keys in your possession to
reach the end of the Spirit Chamber. The first locked door is in this
room. Play Zelda's Lullaby to reveal a small treasure chest, then use one
of your Small Keys to unlock the door. To defeat the Beamos in the next
room, time a throw with a Bomb so it explodes in the air near the
Beamos. Use your Longshot to make your way over the wall, then use
your last Small Key to enter the next room.
THE FINAL CHAMBER
The Golden Gauntlets will allow you to remove the giant boulder blocking the Spirit Chamber. Remove the giant boulder blocking the door
with the Light Medallion above it, then enter the final chamber. You will
find that the Spirit Chamber is much easier than the other chambers. In
the first room, defeat all of the enemies to unlock the door.
30
THE SPIRIT BARRIER
Shoot a Light Arrow into the Spirit Barrier to remove it from
Ganondorf's Tower and finish the Spirit Chamber. Rauru will take the
place of the barrier and you will be warped out to the main room. The
barrier surrounding Ganondorf's Tower will disappear, allowing you
access to it.
