1) INTRODUCTION
---------------
Hi there again!!! One more time I'm here to help you!!!, Yeah!! I'm the
hero!
This time this guide is about one of the best and toughest levels of
"The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time", the all red level: Fire Temple
(duh, you read it on the title...). Nothing much to say, really.....
So let's start!! Ah, as always, see last section for
details for contacting me...
-------------------------------
2) GETTING INTO THE FIRE TEMPLE
-------------------------------
Well, it's easy... Make sure you have the Goron's Tunic before entering
the crater or you'll die after a few minutes... This tunic can be found
or bought in Goron's City. Just stop the rolling Goron using a bomb (it
can be difficult, but keep on trying), talk to him and he'll give
it to you... Yeah!!! You saved 200 rupees!!!
Ok, once you enter the crater (from Goron's City, behind Darunia's
throne), use your hookshot on the broken bridge, then you'll meet
Sheik, who will teach you the "Bolero of Fire". Now go down the stairs
and enter the temple.
Note: I'll recommend you already have the Scarecrow's Song, cause
you'll need it for this level. (not really, it just help you to reach a
secret area...)
- But what's the Scarecrow's Song and where can I get it??
Oh no!!! Ok, ok, ok... I'll tell you how to get the Scarecrow's Song...
But promise me you won't bother anymore!!!
--------------------HOW TO GET THE SCARECROW'S SONG--------------------
The player defined Scarecrow's Song is a very useful song, it helps you
to reach platforms using a scarecrow and your hookshot or longshot.
First, as young Link, go to Lake Hylia. And go to the small plantation
where there are 2 scarecrows. Show your Ocarina to the one near the
Lake and invent a song, no longer than 8 notes. I recommend you to make
it easy to memorize, don't make notes too long and be quick, i.e don't
leave any pauses (I'll explain you why, later... in the next
paragraph).
Now, as adult Link return to the same place (Lake Hylia) and play the
scarecrow the same song you played as young Link. Now I'll explain the
above in 15 words: You have to play him the song exactly the way you
did it as young Link!!! (sorry, I did 16)... Understand!!???
--------------------------
3) FIRE TEMPLE WALKTHROUGH
--------------------------
Go up the stairs and enter the door to your left (don't pay attention
to bats). You'll see Darunia, he'll talk to you and then he'll enter
the Boss Room!!. Now proceed to your left in this room, Don't be
alarmed if you fall to the lava, your tunic will help you (for a few
seconds) and free the imprisoned Goron by pressing the switch. Grab the
key in the chest behind him.
Now return to the room where you started and open the locked door. Now
in this room (I call it the "Broken Bridge Room") go to the door on
your left, enter it and release the Goron and get his key (you can also
play the "Song of Time" to get rid of the blue block above the doorway,
climb it and enter the door with a shiel eater and a gold skulltulla).
Return to the "Broken Bridge Room" and go straight ahead to another
door (the one to your right if you entered this room for the first
time), blow the wall, free the Goron, take the key.
Return to the bridge room, and take a right (straight ahead from the
first time) to enter the locked door. Now use your hookshot on the
fence, and climb it to get to the platform on your right, kill the 2
sleeping bats in there, and drop down to the platform right below you
and push the big block until it falls down. Now land on this block and
you'll be raised to the next room.
Enter the locked door. Now, in this room (you'll see a Goron, don't
worry, you can't release him until later) take a left and climb up the
ledges killing the torch slugs (I recommend to stun them with your
hookshot and the slashing then a couple of times with your sword). Now
jump over the platform with that diamond switch. Proceed to push the
block until it falls, then drop down and pull it all the way. Climb it
and jump to the fence. Now from here, throw a bomb to the diamond
switch (just try to time it right, it can be difficult but keep on
practicing) and it'll activate and it will stop the fire from the
fence, so climb it (before the time runs out) and enter the door...
Now go all the way right to free a Goron (get his key), and proceed all
the way of the maze to your right until you find a locked door, better
continue your way to the right to free another Goron... (maybe you'll
hear a gold skulltulla on the outside walls, so when yu do, bomb the
wall to reveal it, it is in the northeastern side of the room).
Now proceed to the locked door, enter it (duh, really??), and shoot the
gray eye to open the door to your right where the Dungeon map is (make
sure you don't fall, or you'll fall in the Broken bridge Room, and I
tell you, it's really messy and boring to return again...). Now return
to the gray eye room and enter the locked door.
In this room, jump to the platform and over the fence and you'll see
fire behind you!!!! Just make it quick to the other side, climb the
ledges and enter the locked door (not the one to your left). Now you're
over the maze!!!
Look up, you'll see a very high platform to your right (left when
facing the door). So play your scarecrow's song to make Pierre (the
scarecrow) appear, now hookshot to him and then to the hookshot circle
on the other platform to reach a secret area... In this secret area
there are 200 rupees in a chest and a gold skulltulla..
Go back down and jump to the platform in front of you and bomb the
crack in the floor, if the torch slug bothers, kill it!!!, go down the
stairs or fall down (I recommend to fall down, you'll only lose a
heart, the stairs are boring), and release the Goron in there to get
another key. Climb up the stairs and then continue jumping over
platforms (be careful not to fall), until you get to a switch, press it
to release a Goron at the other side... continue jumping until you get
to him and take his key...
Now go down again and to the fenced room, and jump to the locked door
on your right. (the one to the left the first time you where here and I
told you don't to jump...). Now here's how to jump, just keep on
holding forward and you'll reach the platform.
Pass the corridor, enter the room (I call it the Fire room) and go to
the door on your right, be careful of boulders and "proximity fire",
enter it and you'll get the compass. Now return to the Fire room and go
to the door on the opposite side to get to a corridor with a Goron (you
can't save him, later) and continue to the door straight ahead.
Now go right and press the switch, to make the big flame dissapear, for
5 seconds, so hurry... Break the pots to refill your bombs and 2 hearts
and enter the room.
This is the 1st Mini- Boss room: This mini boss is as easy as it
gets... Just throw a bomb to him and he will change into a running
ball, so Z-target it and chase him with your sword, dont go behind him,
you can't reach it, just go in the opposite direction...
Now climb to the platform and it will raise you... Enter te door and
climb the fence, proceed to drop a bomb on the diamond thing and then
climb the fence to reach the Megaton Hammer room. Step on the yellow
switch and run up the stairs (be quick and make sure you don't fall)
and open the chest to get the cool Megaton Hammer!!! (in this room is
another skulltulla, left from the entrance).
Now return to where the yellow switch was and then you'll see a block,
it's really a switch, just stomp it with your new hammer... and fall
down. Get rid of the statue with your hammer and enter the next room.
Kill the bats and hit the block with your hammer, now grab a crate and
put it on the blue switch... to open the door.
Hit the other block with your hammer, then drop down, hit the rusted
switch and enter the door. Play the song of time to use the blue block
as a platform, then hit the switch with your hammer to release another
Goron. Drop down and get the key. Now return to the door you came and
hit the big block with your hammer to fall down, it's a really big
fall!!! There's a fairy you can get from a pot to your right (use
hookshot)... Exit and you're at the entrance, now smash the statue to
the right of the stairs and enter the door. Kill everything in this
room to make the door open, enter it (duh, again?). In this room avoid
the squares that try to chase you. You can get rid of them using your
hookshot. Now kill the Shield eater and kill the gold skulltulla almost
behind him...
Proceed to the next door and kill the 2nd Mini- Boss, the same way as
the first one... Continue to the next door, hit the rusted switch with
your hammer to release the last Goron and get the Boss Key!!!
Now go to the next door and you're back at the entrance. Go up the
stairs, take a left, enter the door, jump to the platform where the
Boss Door is and enter it (really??)...
-------------------------------------
4) SUBTERRANEAN LAVA DRAGON: VOLVAGIA
-------------------------------------
This boss is easy...
When he pokes his head out of a hole, hit him with your hammer, then
step back to avoid being hit and then hit him again with your hammer or
your sword, bombs are cool too!!!
Repeat the process until dead. Make sure that when he flies around
trying to bite you and spiting fire, Z-Target his mouth and hold your
shield... Also, you can hit him with your sword when he's flying, but
it's difficult...
Also remember that when he flies and make rocks fall, don't move
(unless you see the shadow of a big rock next to you), and you won't
get hurt.....................................
