You’ll immediately be faced with two Ball and Chain Troopers-yes, two copies of the first level’s boss-to defeat, and there are no pots to speak of. The opening room is one of those few moments of breathing room, but the room just to its north is not.
#Master spell 5.6 full#
Keep your health high (and full if possible to take advantage of your new sword beams!) and fight to the last, taking advantage of what little breathing room you’ll get. It’s merely a long gauntlet of enemies and traps for you to avoid as you make your way to the wizard. This dungeon is a dungeon in its own right, but there’s no Map, Compass, Big Key, or special item for you to find here. Welcome to the second half of Hyrule Castle, the Castle Tower. Once through, continue walking left until you find one short log tunnel heading up. Head north through the log tunnel there and continue around through another log tunnel heading south. Continue west, slashing your way through two bushes. Do so, and when you reach the end, head back north through the log tunnel adjacent to it. Head southwest and you’ll eventually find a log tunnel that you can walk through. The forest from this direction is relatively non-threatening you’ll only find Crows and Buzz Blobs, so just make sure you give the latter some clearance when you fight the former. Once you see the twin lumberjacks cutting down a tree, head to their left and continue your way, and eventually you’ll find a passageway into the forest.


So once you’re clear of the mountain ledge, head north you’ll only encounter a handful of Buzz Blobs, which you can easily avoid as you head that direction. The easiest way to avoid these hooligans is to enter the Lost Woods from the northeastern border. You’ll want to head into the Lost Woods, but seeing as how it is covered with mist with limited visibility and is also full of new dangers, the most annoying of which are forest Thieves, which will attempt to bump into you and make you lose some of your hard-earned rewards, you’ll want to be strategic about it. All you need to do to have grass under your feet is to jump off the cliff when you leave the cave. Then head southwest in the second area until you arrive at the entrance. Head north through the first section, bearing west when the passageway opens up. Otherwise, the only enemies here are easy-to-kill Keese.

The cave heading down is simple enough there are no real junctions or maze-like elements, and the only traps are a few pits to avoid on the way down, but you should see them coming remarkably easily. The cave that sits just next to the foot of the staircase is the way down off the mountain, so enter it. Head generally west and slightly south until you come to the long, long staircase heading down to the lower ends of Death Mountain. Time’s a wasting, so it’s time to make your way there. The cave back down is next to the bottom of the great staircase.Ĭoming out of the Tower of Hera, you know that the Master Sword is deep within the Lost Woods.
