Walkthrough
Step out of the Temple of Time into a Castle Town overrun by Ganondorf’s soldiers, and go find Sheik — the mysterious figure who’ll guide you temple by temple, teaching you the warp songs along the way. The first clue sends you back to Kokiri Forest, now the familiar Lost Woods but far denser than you remember.
At the Sacred Forest Meadow, play Saria’s Song for Mido to let you through, and learn the Minuet of Forest from Sheik. The entrance to the Forest Temple is flanked by four sister Poe statues — inside, the dungeon literally rotates around the portrait hallway, and the Fairy Bow appears in a chest for shooting the statue eyes that open new routes.
💡 The rotating portrait hallway changes depending on which sister Poe you beat first — there’s no fixed order, but beating all four is required for the boss.
Boss — Phantom Ganon
Bat his energy balls back with your sword (or shoot them with the Bow) until he whiffs three times in a row — he then becomes open to a melee combo. He switches paintings between attempts — stay centered in the room so you don’t lose track of him.
When he falls, the temple collapses behind him and wakes Saria as the Sage of the Forest.
