Special Thanks / End ========================================================================= *************************** 1. INTRODUCTION ***************************** ========================================================================= Welcome to my in-depth walkthrough for the Earth Temple in Legend of Zelda : Wind Waker. You can also consult my walkthrough for the Wind Temple. I hope it will help you and that you'll understand it... this Temple is quite complicated so I had a hard time writing what to do and such. Well, anyway, thanks to be reading my guide =) WishingTikal ========================================================================= ************************** 2. GETTING STARTED *************************** ========================================================================= You may need to get some little things in order to enter the Earth Temple so if you don't already have them, get them now, why not. Ballad of the Gales - Near the Forsaken Fortress, you will eventually run into a big cyclone commanded by some kind of frog. Get catch in the cyclone and quickly destroy the frog with your arrows before it warps you. 3 hits and the frog will make you learn the useful song "Ballad of the Gales". (v,>,<,^) Now you can warp yourself where you want to. Ice & Fire Arrows - Warp yourself into the Mother & Child Isles(b,B) and you'll end up inside the island where a Fairy will give you the Ice & Fire Arrows for your bow. Power Bracelets - Go to the Fire Mountain(c,F) near Dragon Roost Island, and shoot an ice arrow in direction of the lava on top of the mountain. You now have 4 minutes or something to climb on top of the mountain and enter it. Inside you'll find the Power Bracelets. You can use that map to locate things you need.

GETTING TO THE EARTH TEMPLE ********************* ========================================================================= To access the Earth Temple, go to HeadStone Island(g,C) and now that you have the Power Bracelets, you'll be able to lift up the big head shaped rock blocking the entrance to the inside of the island. Get inside the island and stand between the 2 torches in front of the big rock. You'll have to play the song written on the rock which is the Earth God's Lyric (v,v,O,>,<,O). Laruto's ghost (Ganondorf stole her soul to break the Master Sword's power) will appear and ask you to find her descendant, the sage of the Earth Temple, who possesses the same harp as her. Medli is the one. So head for Dragon Roost Island(b,F). You'll find Medli on top of the island, playing with her harp. (Enter the Rito post office and leave it by the upper door to end up outside at the top of the island. At your right look up and use the Grappin Hook to transport yourself to the other side. Climb up the ladder and on top you'll see Medli). Show her the Wind Waker and play the new song you just learned, the Earth God's Lyric. She'll replay it after you and will meet with her ancestor, Laruto. She will then awakened as the Earth Temple sage. Now, with Medli, head back to HeadStone Island. Stand between the 2 torches again and play the Earth God's Lyric song. Medli will play it after you, opening the way to the Earth Temple. ========================================================================= *********************** 4. INSIDE THE EARTH TEMPLE ********************** ========================================================================= NOTE : *If you save and quit the game in the middle of the temple, always remember in which room you left Medli. You'll start back at the entrance of the temple and Medli should be in the room you left her the last time, next to the last door you entered with her. To go over the big gap in the first room, without Medli, use the Deku Leaf to fly over it.* This Temple is a mix between the Spirit Temple and the Shadow Temple from Ocarina of Time. First, grab Medli with A and jump in direction of the door on the other side. Medli will make you fly up there. Enter the room. Note that to enter a room with Medli, you have to have her on your shoulders while opening the door. Go up stairs, kill the baddy and continue to the top of the stairs. Use Medli to fly on top of the pillar in front of you. Stand on the switch and drop Medli. Now you'll have to play the Command Melody (>,O,<,O) to take control of Medli. Tap A to make Medli fly to the other pillar. Stand on the switch with Medli and the door down there will open. Return to Link and enter the new room. Kill the red and green Chuchus in this room and you'll notice you can't destroy the black Chuchus with your sword. To kill them, stand in the center of the ray of light on the floor. The black Chuchus will try to approach you but will turn into stone under the light. Use your Skull Hammer to finish them off. If you left Medli in the previous room, go get her, she should be next to the door. Take control of her and stand in the center of the light. Press A to use her harp to reflect the light. Aim the ray of light on the "invisible" chest to make it become visible. You can also aim for the 2 statues in the room and they'll melt. Inside the chest you'll find the DUNGEON MAP. Grab Medli and enter the next room. In this room, you'll notice a big "sun" statue with a human face and two spots of light. Stand in the middle of the spot of light to your right and take control of Medli. Use her harp and aim the ray of light toward the blue fog, revealing a switch down there. Return to Link and use the path Medli is clearing with the light for you to go and hit the switch with the Skull Hammer. (The blue fog makes you unable to use items). This will open the door to your right. Go inside with Medli. Kill the 2 skulls inside the coffins. Go at the back of the room and climb up the ladder. Pull the block up there to reveal a light ray in the wall. Go back down and take control of Medli. Make her stand in the new spot of light and use her harp to reflect the light on the "invisible" chest so it will become visible. Inside the chest is a SMALL KEY. Now watch out for the Floormasters as they can take Medli away. We'll come back later for the locked door in this room, don't worry. Leave this room and return in the previous one. We're in the room with the blue fog now. Use your key on the locked door to open it and enter. Kill all the Chuchus inside except for the black ones. Use your fire arrows to burn the flags on the walls. One will reveal a light ray. Stand in the middle of it and wait for the Chuchus to come by you and turn into stone statues. Grab these Chuchu statues and drop them on the 2 switches. Stairs will appear. Hurry up before the Chuchus return back to normal and climb up the stairs. Push the block down there to open the door. Enter the next room. Kill the Floormaster and push the first block against the wall to reveal a ray of light. Drop Medli in the center of the light and take control of her. Aim the ray of light, using her harp, on the statue standing on one of the blocks to break it up. Return to Link and push that block against the wall. A chest will appear. Retake control of Medli and once again, using her harp, aim the light on the little sun painted on the wall. The wall will disintegrate and reveal a block behind it. You can do the same thing on the other sun painted on the other wall to reveal a blue warp vase. Pull and push the new block against the wall to make a door open. Climb on this block to access the chest. Inside you'll find the COMPASS. Enter the next room with Medli. Kill all the Moblins in this room and watch out for the Poes as they can take control of you. To destroy them, hit them until they slip out their lantern and let them control you. They'll then go away. Once they're all gone, stairs will appear. Upstairs, go inside the unlocked door. Go down there and the coffins will open when you approach them. Now it's time to slash some Redeads. Show them how much you hate them. In one of the coffins you'll find a SMALL KEY. Grab it and climb up the ladder (it appears after killing all the Redeads). Go back in the previous room. Open the locked door with your key and enter the room. Now it's mini-boss time. You'll face a big skeleton, really easy to defeat. He'll try to hit you by spinning his bludgeon but use your shield to defend yourself. Hit him a few times and his head will eventually fall. Now hit his head until he disappear. (If you don't hit his head fast enough, it'll go back on his body and you'll have to start over). But now 2 more skeletons will come after you. Do the same thing you did with the first one until they're just a pile of old bones. Stairs will appear leading to a chest. Yay ! The MIRROR SHIELD ! Use your new shield with R to reflect the light into the sun over the door. That will open the door so leave this room. We're back in the previous room. Go downstairs and climb up the ladder in the room. Stand in the light and use the mirror shield to aim the light on the 3 statues at the other side of the room. They will break up revealing the way to a chest. Go open the chest for a JOY PENDANT. Now it's very hard to describe but you can skip that part anyway. It's only a shortcut. Take control of Medli and fly where the light is. Use her harp and aim the light on the floor of the room. Return to Link and use his shield to reflect the light Medli is sending you on the sun painted on the wall next to the ladder. The wall will disintegrate revealing a passageway. Go in there. Do the same thing as before with the light, Medi's harp and Link's shield to break up the statue there and the wall to get some hidden rupees. Leave the passageway by the door there. We're back in the room with the blue fog once again. You may want to return right now in the room to your right where we left a locked door there, remember ? So go back in the room with the 2 skulls and Floormasters. Kill them all so they'll not be in your way. Grab Medli and drop her on the switch next to the locked door. The door will stay open so enter it with Link. Use the light and Link's mirror shield to reflect the light on the wall with the suns painted on it. The wall will disintegrate and you'll find a chest behind it containing a JOY PENDANT. Now return to the blue fog room. Take control of Medli and stand in one of the spot of light. Use her harp to reflect the light and aim for the eye of the big statue. Wait until the statue start shining and switch back to Link. Use the mirror shield to reflect the light and aim for the other eye of the statue. When the statue will be completely shinning, it will reveal a new path. Take Medli with you and enter the new room down there. Go downstairs and cross the bridge. I think there is something you can do here with the Tingle Tuner but I don't have the GBA so I don't know. Anyway, play the Earth God's Lyric in front of the big rock and Medli will play it after you revealing a new door. Enter the next room. Stand in the light and use your shield to reflect the light on the mirrors you see in this room. Aim at them and they'll reflect the light you're sending them on the big statues which will break up revealing 2 doors. Start by going into the door on your right. Cross the blue fog avoiding the Floormasters and at the back you'll find a chest with a SMALL KEY inside. Once you get the key, the fog will disappear. Kill ALL the Floormasters and a chest will appear. Inside is a TREASURE CHART. Go back to the previous room and enter the left door. Use arrows to kill the 2 Floormasters in the blue fog and cross to the other side. Push the statue there on the symbol on the floor. Pound the switch with the Skull Hammer to reveal light that will reflect on the mirror and into the room on the other side of the wire fencing. Go back in the previous room. Stand in the light and, using your shield, aim for the statue on the block. It will break up so now you can push the block against the wall. Climb up and open the locked door with your key. Enter the room and you'll notice you are now in the room behind the wire fencing. Use the light the mirror we placed earlier is sending you to aim, with your shield, the statues around you. One of them, after breaking up, will reveal a new door. Enter it. Go straight ahead and kill the Redeads inside the coffins. At the end you will find a chest containing a RED RUPEE. Go to the other side (watch out for the Skeletons) and play the Earth God's Lyric in front of the big rock. Medli will play it after you revealing a new door. Enter it. Go downstairs with Medli. If you go upstairs you can throw a bomb at the rock to access the warp vase. Now go downstairs. There is a door there so enter this room with Medli. This room is very hard to explain so I hope you will understand what I tried to describe... You can start by pushing two of the mirrors near the entrance on the symbol on the floor. Then, take control of Medli and fly on top of the big "monument" in the center of the room. Stand on the switch to reveal a ray of light that will reflect on one of the mirrors. Return back to Link and use that light to break up one of the statue revealing a mirror. Pull and push that mirror on the symbol on the floor. You can also use the light on the invisible chest to get a PURPLE RUPEE. Retake control of Medli and make stand on the pedestal. Use her harp and the light and aim it on a smaller pedestal with a yellow harp painted on. Return to Link and use the light Medli is sending you with your shield to reflect it on the wall with suns painted on it. Disintegrate the wall to reveal another mirror. Pull and push that mirror on the symbol on the floor. To the other side of the room, you can also make the other invisible chest become visible with the same strategy as above and get a JOY PENDANT. Break up the statue there with the light and your shield to reveal a mirror. Pull and Push that mirror on the symbol on the floor. Once again, use Medli and Link (same strategy as above) to disintegrate the wall there and reveal a mirror. Pull and push that mirror too on the symbol on the floor. Now the mirrors should be reflecting the light toward the big statue. Ok, finally... Take control of Medli and go on the pedestal near the big statue with the sun face. Use her harp to reflect the light into the statue's eye until it starts shining. Switch back to Link and stand on the other pedestal. Use the mirror shield to reflect the light into the statue's other eye. The statue will start shining and will reveal a new door. Go inside. Mini-boss time. You already fought that skeleton guy before so it shouldn't be a problem but watch out, there is 2 blue Bubbles skulls with him. Use ice arrows to destroy the annoying skulls and finish off the skeleton. The gate will open so go and open the chest. There is the BIG KEY inside for the boss door. Return to the previous room. There is block you can push here to reveal another door. Enter it. Use the light and your shield to light up the coffins so they will open. Light them up one by one because there is a skeleton in each one so before lighting the next one, kill the skeleton and do that with the 3 coffins. If you're stuck with the 3 skeletons at the same time (like I was) well, may the wind blow with you. A chest will appear and you'll find a TREASURE CHART inside. Use the block to go back up. Return in the room with the boss door. Climb back up using the vines and for Medli, well, take control of her and fly up there. To reach the boss door, use Medli to carry you up there or the Deku Leaf. Use the big key on the door and enter the big boss room. BOSS TIME (Jalhalla) This guy isn't too hard. You have to stand in one of the spots of light and use your shield to reflect the light and aim at him. The light will burn him, making him fall on his back. Take advantage of this to lift him up and throw him on one the spiked ledges of the room. He'll explode and you'll see many tiny spirits trying to escape. Kill the more you can before they go back into Jalhalla. Then, repeat the process each time until there is no more spirits. Jalhalla will try to confuse you, throw fire at you and blow you on the spikes so be careful. The spot of light will sometime change place so pay attention. Once you destroy him, don't forget to take your Heartpiece. Link, Medli and Laruto will play the Earth God's Lyric to give back some power to the Master Sword. Now you still have to go into the Wind Temple and awaken its sage if not already done to return all its power to the Master Sword. ========================================================================= ************************ 5.
