RPGClassics.com - Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

	After Ganondorf captures Zelda, your business now is to head to Ganon's Castle, where Hyrule Castle used to be. Go there and you will see that the place is a mess. Go to where the land ends before the pit of lava. Rauru will call out to Link and the powers of the Sages will merge and create a bridge to the castle. Your job is to destroy the 6 barriers that protect Ganon's Tower. Inside, there are 6 doors to enter, each leading to an environment similar to each of the temples. Go to where the Shadow symbol hangs over the door.
Hover Boots and Fire Arrows are required. Shoot the torch to the right with a Fire Arrow. That will show the invisible blocks that can safely lead Link to the other side. Once the block is gone, light the torch again and head over to the next floor, and down the right side to the switch, which will drop a treasure for the Golden Gauntlets. Now use the Lens of Truth to find the bridge to the Rusted Switch. Hammer it, walk back, and find the bridge up the middle. Open the door, take the stuff from the jars, and shoot the orb in the center with a Light Arrow, which will release the Shadow Barrier.
	With the Golden Gauntlets at hand, exit the Castle. Head to the left and to where the big pillar is. Grab and lift it out of the way to reveal a Great Fairy Fountain. This is the last Great Fairy, and will give Link's defense a boost which will cut all damage by 1/2. Not too bad for a last gift. One more thing. Head back to Kakariko Village. If you have the Biggoron Sword, then you can do this. If not, then do a little trading and give the Odd Mushroom to the woman in the back Potion Shop. Do this, and she will sell a Blue Potion. Buy 1 and save it. Fill up the rest of the bottles with Fairies. You will need them.
Go back into the castle and into the Forest area. Defeat the Wolfos and use Din's Fire to light the 4 torches and then shoot the torch with a Fire Arrow above the door. Go through the door. Now you have to get the 5 Silver Rupees. The Hover Boots come in handy here, but watch out for the fans. The button on the other side raises a post that you can Longshot to and get the 5th rupee. All 5 will open the door. Go through it and shoot the orb with a Light Arrow. The Forest Barrier is now destroyed. Equip the Goron Tunic and head to the Fire Area.
	Again, you have to collect 5 Silver Rupees. You need the Golden Gauntlets for this. Lift up the pillar to the left which will be tossed into the lava. The rupees are then pretty easy to grab. Open the door and shoot the orb with a Light Arrow which will destroy the Fire Barrier. 3 Barriers down, 3 to go. Head to the Water Area.
This is more like the Ice Cavern than the Water Temple. You need an empty bottle here. Kill the Ice monsters which will open the door. Bottle a Blue Flame and melt the ice. Bottle another flame and open the door. You now have 2 blocks of ice. Take the one furthest from the door and move it into the hole. Keep in mind that you only have 2 minutes to finish this puzzle. Move the other block into the small area before the wall of ice. Melt the ice and hammer the rusted switch. There is a Fairy in the jar in this room. Grab it and open the door. Now shoot the orb with a Light Arrow.
	Enter the Spirit Area. Again, you have to collect the Silver Rupees. There is one above the Beamos' head that you can Longshot to. Move the Armos' to get the other Rupees without trouble. Enter the door. Spin attack the crystal to get some more Bombchus. Use one and send it through the hole in the wall above the cage. It should go straight and head right for the crystal, which will open the door. Go through both doors. Shoot the Web ceiling and Mirror the light to one of the Sun's. A wrong move will send a Wallmaster. Open the door and shoot the orb with a Light Arrow.
The Light Area is behind the pillar. Remove it and enter. Use the Lens of Truth to reveal the enemies. Do not open the chests. Kill the monsters and a chest in the middle with a Key will be yours. Unlock the door and play Zelda's Lullaby at the Triforce symbol. This will drop another Key. Grab it and unlock the door. Again, Silver Rupees. You have 1 minute to grab them all. Get the top one first by Longshot to the top. Grab them while watching for the boulders and the door will open. On the other side is a fake orb room. Lens of Truth reveal the door. Shoot the real orb with a Light Arrow.
	With the Barrier now gone, you can enter the Tower. Kill the Fire Keese and start going up the stairs. Open the door and kill the 2 Dinolfos. Open the door, climb the stairs, and kill the Stalfos to get the Boss Key. Continue on up the stairs and into a room with 2 Iron Knuckles. Kill them both and continue up the stairs. Unlock the big door and go right to the next door. Climb the stairs. Before you enter the last door, equip the Hover Boots, Master Sword, and the Light Arrows. Open the door and you will see Zelda in her capsule above an organ which Ganondorf is playing.
Ganondorf commands that Link and Zelda give him the pieces. The dark power is so strong that Navi cannot get close to Ganondorf. You are on your own. This is just like the Phantom Ganon battle. Run to a corner and Ganondorf will shoot magic at Link. Hit it back to him and it will go back and forth for a while. When he is hit, aim a Light Arrow at him. When it hits him, run to the middle and jump slash him a few times. When he awakens run to a corner before he uses an Earthquake Punch. Use the Blue Potion if you run out of magic. Continue and Ganondorf should die out soon.
	Ganondorf will die and the room will collaspe. Zelda will then be released and the whole tower will start to collapse. Zelda will lead the way down and open the doors with her magic. Do not get in front of her, or it will slow down. You have 3 Minutes to escape. Hover Boots work good. From the first room, head left and meet her at the door. Continue. Go past the flaming rocks, outside, around, and back in. Zelda will be surrounded by flames and Stalfos will attack. Kokiri Boots here, and the Biggoron Sword. Kill them and continue. Eventually, you will come to a bridge with a ReDead. Avoid it if you can and go.
If you make it out alive, the Castle will collapse... but you hear a sound. Go and see what it is. It is Ganondorf, alive! He holds the Triforce of Power and turns into the monster all Zelda fans love and remember... Ganon. Ganon, with a swing of his swords knocks the Master Sword out of Link's hands and right beside Zelda, who is on the other side of the arena of fire. Navi this time can fight with Link. For a final boss, this is easy. Take the Biggoron Sword or the Megaton Hammer. Run under his legs, avoiding the attacks, target the tail and jump slash it. Continue for a long while.
	After a while, Ganon will fall, and so will the ring of fire. Run and grab the Master Sword. You have to finish the game with that sword. Run in back into the arena and begin round two. Ganon will now start to move faster. If you cannot get under his legs and attack the tail in time, shoot him in the face with a Light Arrow, then run under his legs and hit the tail. Continue and eventually, he will fall to his knees.
Zelda will hold him down with her powers and ask that Link finish him off. The Master Sword glows. Run up to Ganon and slash him once. Link will slash him many times and then stab him right in the nose. Zelda, the 7th Sage, then commands the other 6 Sages to seal Ganon in the Void of the Evil Realm. Thus the game is over. Watch the movie, and keep in mind what Ganondorf says at the end. "As long as the Triforce of Power is in my hands..." Perhaps it isn't over??? But the game sure is. Thanks for reading. I hope this walkthrough has helped you out like many of my others.
