The Forest Medallion

After Ganondorf takes the Triforce, Link awakens
in the Chamber of Sages. He looks around to see
where he is. He spots a man named Rauru. Rauru is
the Sage of Light, and explains what has happened
in 7 short years. Yes, it has been 7 years, and Link
is now grown up. He says that Link must fufill his
destiny as the Hero of Time. He then gives Link the
Light Medallion and sends Link back to the Temple
of Time.
Once back, Link starts to walk out, but then notices
someone behind him. He is Sheik of the Sheikahs.
He tells of the other 5 medallions' locations. One in
a Deep Forest. One on a High Mountain. One under
a Vast Lake. One within the House of the Dead.
And one inside the Goddess of the Sand. Sheik says
that Link must first go to the Forest Temple and
awaken the Sage who Link already knows. Link
however, cannot enter the Temple right now and
that he must go to Kakariko Village and get what
he needs.
Go to Kakariko Village and you will notice a few
changes. But, for now, head to the Windmill and
show the Ocarina to the man there. He will teach
Link the Song of Storms (this is optional for now,
but will be needed later, so get it while your here).
Now head to the Graveyard.
Go into Dampe's shead and he will tell of a tool
that he took to the grave with him. In the Graveyard,
you will notice a new marked grave (marked with
flowers). Pull on the stone to reveal a hole. Jump
down and meet the Ghost of Dampe. He says
that he is fast and wants to race. All you have to
do is follow him, but he will throw fire at Link. Navi
will be around him, so just try to follow. It takes
about a minute to complete. It may take a few tries,
but at the end, Dampe will reward Link with a
Hookshot. Now, you are prepared for the Forest
Temple.
When you try to exit, there are strange blocks in the
way that Navi says look like the symbol on the Door
of Time. Solution? Play the Song of Time and it will
vanish. Now go to Kokiri Forest. You will notice
that it is now infested with monsters. Forget it for
now and head to the Sacred Forest Meadow.
A little ways in, you will run into Mido again. He will
not let anybody in because he promised Saria. Well,
play Saria's Song and he will let you pass. Make
your way to the Sacred Forest Meadow.
Once in, you will notice a huge difference (especially
if you expect nothing). Armored Guards now patrol
the area. This can easily be avoided if you have
gotten the Scarecrow's Song and went to Lake
Hylia to get Pierre to help you. If you have it, play it
when Navi turns green and flies over to the top.
Hookshot up and go across the easy way, or else
you will have a tough time. At the end, there is a
tough guard. He will hit his club on the ground in
an attempt to throw Link back. If you are hit, you
have to start over. It takes 3 hits to kill it, so go back
and forth while attacking it.
When you defeated the guard you can enter the
last part. Link will enter and visit the stump that
Saria used to sit on. Just then, Sheik appears and
talks to Link a bit. He teaches Link the Minuet of
Forest, which will warp Link to where that Triforce
stand is in the Sacred Forest Meadow. Sheik then
disappears. Now, take and use the Hookshot on
the branch just above the entrance and then enter
the Forest Temple.
First things first, kill the Wolfos that attack by the
door. Then look to the right and climb the vines
to the top. Jump onto the top of the tree and
Hookshot over to the treasure chest where you
will recieve the a Key (you will see MANY more of
these). Now enter the door. You will be in a hallway
with a Big Skulltula. Just take and hit it with the
Hookshot to kill it (that was easy). Open the door.
As soon as you enter, you will see 4 torches and
each of them being stolen by Poes. Just then the
elevator goes down. Go right down the middle and
take that door. You will meet a Blue Bubble. Block
it with your shield and then attack it when the flame
is gone. Then enter the door. You will now have
to fight 2 Stalfos. These are pretty tough, and quick.
Target one and when it goes for a jump attack, jump
aside and do one of your own. Backflips work well
on this. Master your jumping skills before tackling
these. Your reward for defeating both is a Key.
Make your way back to the center. Take the
Northwest Passage (it is blocked by a Time Block).
Play the Song of Time to remove the Time Block.
Kill the Big Deku Baba and head right. Hookshot
the first Skulltulas and make your way up (there is
one that you cannot get, so be careful). Once at
top, go through the door. Kill the Blue Bubble and
recieve the Map. Go through the door. Hookshot
over to the target and press the Red Button on the
balcony. This will lower the water in the well.
Jump down the well. Go across to the other side
and grab the Key. Climb up the vines on the other
side. Now you will be back where you were (look
at the last pic). Go back to the main room. You
should have 3 Keys by now. Head to the West
Area up the stairs and unlock the door. Kill the Big
Skulltula and go through the door.
Now this is the part I really hate (don't ask why).
Climb the ladders and go until you come across a
Blue Block. Pull it until it lines up with the adjecent
hallway, then go around and push it down that hall.
Go around and push the block into a hole, which
will make it short enough for you to climb. Do not
climb it just yet. Go back to where you found the
block and look for a ladder. Climb it and go around
and you will see a Red Block. Push it to the end and
go back down and climb the Blue Block back up.
Push the Red Block to the end and climb it. Go
right and up, and kill the Blue Bubbles.
Unlock the door and you will be in a twisted hallway.
Walk to the end and you will be in a room with
a pillar in the middle. Navi warns Link of monsters
in here. She is talking about the Wallmaster, which
comes down from the ceiling and grabs Link and
takes him to the beginning of the Temple. Jump to
the pillar and over to the locked door. Unlock it and
head down the stairs (remember the pictures). Open
the door and fight 1 Stalfoe. Once that one is dead,
a floor will come down and another two will emerge.
Kill them and the Fairy Bow is yours.
Head back to where you came down the stairs.
Be tricky and shoot the picture with the Poe in it.
When all 3 are shot, go down to the bottom and
fight it. When it disappears, block it and let it attack.
When it reappears, slash it quickly. A few slashes
should kill it and relight the Red Torch. Grab the
Key and head back up the stairs and to the twisted
hallway. Go to the room with the Blue Bubbles and
shoot the Eye above the door. This will untwist the
hallway. Now go back and jump down to the floor
and open the Blue Chest, and the Boss Key are
belong to you.
Jump down the hole (keep an eye on the Wall
Master). Kill the Blue Bubbles and exit the room.
You will now be in the upper areas of the West
Courtyard. Take a right and another one. You will
meet a Floormaster (one that does not come from
the ceiling). You cannot touch it when it turns green.
Kill the big hand, and it will turn into 3 little hands.
Quickly do a spin attack to kill them or you will
regret it. Grab the Key and exit (you should have
2 Keys). Take a right and open the door. You will
then be in the room where you moved the Blue and
Red Blocks.
Go to the top, kill the Blue Bubbles, and then shoot
the eye again to twist the hallway. Go to where
you fought the Stalfos and exit the other door. You
will now see a Blue Poe Picture. Do the same thing
and kill it the same way to get the Compass and
relight the Blue Torch. Climb the stairs and unlock
the door. You will be in a room with more Wall
Masters. Jump over to the right and down the hall
with the Green Bubbles. Unlock the door and you
will be in a room with rotating pillars, a torch, and
a frozen eye. Either shoot the arrow through the fire
to melt the ice, or use Din's Fire.
By shooting the eye, the hallway will twist around.
Go back to the room past the hallway and jump
down the hole. You will now be in a room with
a falling ceiling. Run to the button on the right side
before the ceiling falls on Link. There are holes that
you can run to to avoid the ceiling falling on you. The
button will open the door. Run over and open the
door.
You will now be in a room with a picture of a Green
Poe. Shoot it and 5 blocks will fall. You have 1
minute to put them together to make a picture of
4 blocks of the Green Poe. Do it, and the Green
Poe will appear. Kill it the same way and the Green
Torch will light. Go through the door and past the
hallway back to the center room with something
crying. Go to see it and it will be the last of
the Poes that stole the Torches.
She will split into 4 images and circle Link. You have
to shoot the real one. To tell which one is real,
look for the one who spins once she appears. Do
it a few times and the Purple Torch will light and
the elevator will reappear. Go down the elevator
into the final room.
This room is a bit tricky. You have to push on one
of the two side blocks to rotate the inner room doors
so they match briefly with the outer room doors.
Sound's complicated? Push the one on the West side
going North once, enter the southwest door and
grab the chest, and push it again twice in the same
direction. Enter the northwest room and push the
button. Now, push the block going south and enter
the East room and press the block. Push the blocks
again to line up the doors north and south. Go south,
push the button, then go north and unlock the Boss
Door.
Go up the stairs and into the middle. Nothing. Try
to escape and bars will prevent that. Link turns
around and is face to face with Ganondorf... or is
he? It is actually his Phantom. Phantom Ganon rides
into a picture and disappears. I hope you have some
fairies. PG will enter in one picture and exit two
pics. You have to shoot the real Phantom that comes
out of the picture (look for both pics and for the
brighter one of the two). Shoot him just as he comes
out, or he will shoot Link with electricity. Do it 3
times and Phantom Ganon will dismount his horse.
Get out the Master Sword!
This is tough. Phantom Ganon will shoot magic at
Link. If you remember in A Link to a Past (SNES),
you had to shoot the magic back with the Master
Sword. Well, time it right and deflect it back to
Phantom Ganon. Phantom Ganon will probably
hit it back, so you have to hit it back. It will keep
going, gaining speed each time until one gets hit.
Once he is hit, run in and do a few jump attacks (if
you have the Biggoron Sword, this will be very
easy). Continue and he will die quickly. Ganondorf's
voice will boom and he will send the Phatom away.
Take the Heart and take the Warp out.
You will arrive back at the Chamber of Sages. You
will see Saria appear from the Green Platform and
gives Link the Forest Medallion.
Link will be warped right outside the dead Great
Deku Tree. He notices something sticking out, and
is startled when something pops out. It is the Deku
Tree Sprout. He explains why the Kokiri never
grow up, but why Link did, because he is actually
Hylian. He tells the story about an Hylian Mother and
her baby boy. She entered the Forest during the war
and was near dead. She gave the baby to the Great
Deku Tree to raise him as a Kokiri... until the day
would come. Now, Link MUST save Hyrule from
darkness.
