RPGClassics.com - Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

	If you travel Zora's River, you will notice some snow near the end. That is because Zora's Domain is totally frozen solid. Even King Zora is fronzen (unless you took the Biggoron Sword sidequest). Head to Zora's Fountain. Go on the iceburgs and start hopping left to the ledge which is the Ice Cavern. Now prepare yourself, because this is the longest step in the whole game.
The Ice Carvern is pretty small, but does contain a Map, Compass, and a Treasure. Go in a ways and kill the Freezzards (Din's Fire will wipe them out). Kill them and the door will open. Go in a ways and you will be in a room with a spinning Ice Blade and 5 Silver Rupees. Collect all 5 of them and the door will open.
	You are now in a room with Ice Keese and Freezzards. Kill the Ice Keese first with an Arrow, or else they will drain your life when they hit you. You will see a wierd blue flame. This can be bottled and used to thaw out red ice. Thaw out the big red ice in the room to get the chest. Then, take and bottle another and head back to Zora's Domain and thaw out King Zora (who will give you Zora's Tunic). Equip the Tunic and head back. Bottle another flame. Head back to the spinning Ice Blade and use the flame on the ice wall to the left of where you are now.
Bottle the Blue Flame and use it on the chest to get the Compass. You can also get a Heartpiece here as well. Bottle a Flame and head back to the Spinning Ice Blade and go across the room. Use the flame on the Ice Wall and continue.
	You will now be in another room with Silver Rupees. You have to move the block a bit. Once pushed, it will slide. 4 rupees are easy to find, but the 4th one is surrounded by red ice in the North area. Grab 2 Blue Flames and thaw out the ice to grab the 5th rupee and open the door. Push the block to the south area and continue on. Further along, there is a wall of ice. Melt it with the Blue Flame and go through the door.
Fight the White Wolfos. It is pretty easy. When it is dead, it leaves the Iron Boots. After you get the Iron Boots, Sheik appears again. He will tell Link about rescuing the Zora Princess, who ran off to the Water Temple in Lake Hylia. He then teaches Link the Serenade of Water, which will teleport him to Lake Hylia. Get out of the Ice Cavern and warp to Lake Hylia.
	Equip the Iron Boots and go to the bottom of what is left of the lake. Using the only weapon you can use underwater (the Hookshot), target that blue switch above the door and hit it. The gate to the Water Temple will then open. Go through, and prepare for a long ride.
First off, remove the Iron Boots to float to the surface of the temple. Go in a ways and sink down to the bottom of the temple with the Iron Boots. Go right from the bottom and take that path (it is marked by 2 torches). Go in a ways and Link will run into Princess Ruto. She will tell Link that he has to help her save the Zoras. There are 3 places in the temple that Link can use to change the water level. She leads the way to one of them by going up. Remove the Iron Boots and follow her (she will not be seen after this). Float to the top, open the door, kill the spikes, and grab the Map.
	After getting the Map, go back out and look for a place with the Triforce symbol on the wall. Play Zelda's Lullabye here to lower the water level all the way to the first floor. Jump back down to the first floor. Light the two unlit torches by shooting the arrows through the fire (or use Din's Fire). The door will open. Go in, kill the Shell Blades, and take the Key. Head back to the middle room and take the west path (straight across from where you are). Push the block into the water, put on the Iron Boots and go after it. Walk the path as far as you can and float to the top.
Slash the crystal to raise the gyser which you can cross. Open the door and sink into the tank with the serpent head with the Crystal. Get on the 'tail' of the serpent and Hookshot the crystal to open the gate. Quickly remove the Iron Boots and head to the gate and float to the surface. Grab the Key, equip the Iron Boots, slash the crystal, and sink down and run through the gate before the Shell Blades get at you. Now head back to where you pushed the block in and Hookshot your way back to the top.
	Unlock the door to the center tower and enter. Hookshot up and play Zelda's Lullabye at the Triforce Slate to raise the water level. One of the blocks will raise up next to where you are. Equip the Iron Boots and sink down to where it was. You will notice a hole. Go down it and continue. You will find a room with a crystal. If you look above, there are 2 gates, one above the crystal (containing monsters) and one to the other side of it. Use the Hookshot from the other side to hit the crystal, which will release the monsters. Kill the monsters with the Hookshot to open the other gate.
Float to the top and grab the Key. Now head back to the center tower and exit through the door. Put on the Iron Boots and sink down to the first floor. Head to the east path (to where you met Ruto), and float to the surface. There will be a wall with a large crack in it. Blow it up, grab the Key from inside, and go back to the center room on the 2nd floor. Unlock the door on the west side. Get near the water column and let the Blue Tektile come down. Kill it, stand on the column and hookshot the crystal to raise the water. Exit through the door and play Zelda's Lullaby to raise the water to the top floor.
	Head over to the east side. Go in a ways and sink down to the bottom. Follow along until you come to a block. Pull it back to the end and go back to the center room on the 2nd floor. Head to the East Side (still wearing the Iron Boots, because the 2nd floor is under water). Go along, kill the monsters, and hookshot up to the surface. Get near the water column and shoot the Crystal with an Arrow and quickly grab the Compass. Now head back to the West side of the 3rd floor and unlock the door.
You will now be in a room with a waterfall and a bunch of platforms going down from it. Get on the bottom, elevating platform on your side, wait for it to get on the bottom, then jump to the stationary platform on the other side. Now hookshot up the waterfall to the top and unlock the door. You will be in a room with a crystal and statues that go with the level of the water. Jump in the water with the Iron Boots and make your way to the Hookshot target on the other side. Climb over the statue, shoot the crystal, Hookshot over to the other side, lower the water, climb the statue, and hit the crystal.
	Kill the tektiles and Like Like at the top. Hookshot over the spikes and open the door. You will be in a big area with a lone tree. Pass it and look to the other side to see Dark Link (ah! Zelda II revisited!) This monster knows your every move, that is, as long as you are using the Master Sword. To make this fight quick, use the Megaton Hammer, or the Biggoron Sword. It cannot block the Megaton Hammer attack, but stabbing it with the Biggoron Sword will make the fight quicker. Once defeated, the doors will open. Go through the other door and grab the Longshot.
Behind the chest with the Longshot is a Block of Time. Play the Song of Time to remove it. Jump down. You will now be in serpent river (as I call it). Swim down and after you clear the first corner of the river (first whirlpool), equip the Iron Boots and make your way through the river. The whirlpools can swallow you, so be very quick. If you get stuck in one, try running, then removing the Iron Boots then swim to safety. Near the end, there is a ledge and an eye. Shoot the eye, which will open the gate. Then quickly Longshot over to the chest with a Key past the gate.
	Go through the door. You will be in the room with the serpent and the crystal in its mouth. Head back to the center room, down the floor one, and to where you met Ruto. Lower the water level (float to the top) to the bottom. Longshot your way to the top. Head to the south side. Shoot the eye to open the gate and Longshot across the area past the gate. If you make it in time, you can go follow along to where you moved that block. Push it forward and go right to get a Key. Head back to the center room and to the first floor. Go to the north end and sink down to the bottom.
Go a ways in and Longshot the the surface, and over the spikes to the locked door. Unlock it and on the other side, shoot all of the tektiles dead. Swim across to the other side. Open the door and kill the stingers. There are 2 walls that can be blown up. Blow them up. Go to the side where there is no gap in the floors and push the block inside the blown up area to the other side. Return to the gapped floor side and pull the block out far enough so that you can go around and push it into the gap, which will push the button and raise the water level. Go up and open the door. Push the button and jump across the water columns.
	Open the door and you will be where the boulders drop off. Go right and sink down. Kill the Shell Blade and float up. Unlock the door and grab the Boss Key. Now head back to the center room. Raise the water level back up to the 3rd floor (look back if you forgot). Once the water is up, go to the north side and Longshot over to the neck of the statue and open the door. This next room is tough, with spikes going back and forth and a steep hill to climb. Pick a side and when the closest spike hits the wall, start walking. You should be able to make it to the top. Open the big door.
Navi will warn Link that the water is not ordinary water. Jump to one of the islands and the Boss, Morpha will show up. This battle is easy, as long as you do not get too close to it. Head to the outside land and target it. Try to real it in with the Longshot. If you get it, attack it quickly. If the water's arm gets to you, it will shake you around and throw you into a wall. Not good for your health. Keep going after the nucleus and attacking it until you kill it. The water will disappear slowly and will leave Link with a Heart and a warp point.
	After you warp out, you will arrive at the Chamber of Sages, where Ruto stands at the blue platform as the Sage of water, thus having to cancel their marriage (ah, how sad). She says that she feels that Zelda is still alive. She gives Link the Water Medallion and tells Link to tell Sheik that she thanks him. You warp outside the Water Temple. The water from the Lake refills and Sheik is there waiting. He talks a bit and then disappears, and dives into the water.
The only thing left here is the Fire Arrow. Stand on the plaque on the island above the Water Temple and shoot the sun. The arrow will soar to the sun and will come back down as a Fire Arrow. Run over to the goalpost island and grab it.
