    In this room, a Big Chest contains the final Master Ore.

  19. 19
    Head to Lorule's Blacksmith with your two Master Ore to receive the Master Sword Lv3.
Tips
  • Kodongo: These lizards spit fire but cannot move while doing so. Side-step the flames and slash them.
  • Gyorm: These enemies have a hard shell. Hookshot off the shell to make them vulnerable.
  • Water Tektite: These enemies skid along the water instead of jumping. Take them out from range.
  • Gemasaur King: Start by throwing bombs at its head until the mask cracks. Dodge its tail swings by merging into the wall. Once the mask is gone, slash the head. When the braziers blow out, quickly relight them as the Gemasaur King will dash around the room. Finish it off as it recovers.
