Learn how to get the Hero's Bow in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D! Follow our step-by-step guide through Woodfall Temple to defeat the Dinolfos mini-boss and claim your prize.
Alright, so you're in Woodfall Temple and need to grab the Hero's Bow. Don't worry, it's not too far off! We'll need to do a little more torch lighting and then take down a mini-boss.
- 1Back in the Bridge Room: First things first, grab another Deku Stick and head up the stairs to your left. Light the torch you find there. Then, pull out a fresh Deku Stick, light it, and carefully leap across the platforms. You're aiming for the spiderweb blocking the path. Once you're past it, go up the stairs to enter the Black Boes Room.
- 2Black Boes Room: This place is super dark and, surprise, full of Black Boes! Switch to your Deku Form and use your spin attack to clear out all the enemies. Doing this will make a chest appear, and inside you'll find Stray Fairy #6. After that, light another Deku Stick and run around the perimeter of the room to light all the other torches.
- 3Dragonfly Room: This next area has some Dragonflies and tricky moving platforms with Deku Flowers. Be careful on the ground level, as there are holes that drop you down to the first floor. Keep an eye out for Stray Fairy #7 in the northeast corner of the lower level. Once you've got it, make your way to the back-left corner and head down the staircase.
- 4Main Room: Move forward until you see a switch with Majora's Mask on it. Step on it while in Human Form – this will spawn some ladders, creating a handy shortcut for later. Now, quickly head to the north end of the room to grab Stray Fairy #8. After that, go through the eastern door.
- 5Releasing Stray Fairy #9: As soon as you enter this new area, turn around. You'll see a beehive hanging around. Shoot it down with an arrow to release Stray Fairy #9.
- 6Dinofol Room (Mini-Boss Fight): Now, head through the door at the southern end of the previous room to reach the Dinofol Room. Get ready, because this is where you'll face your first mini-boss!
Mini-Boss: Dinolfos
This guy can be a bit of a pain, especially with his fire breath. The key here is to be defensive and then counter-attack. Use your shield to block his sword slashes and his fire. After you land a hit, he'll usually breathe fire straight ahead, so be ready to dodge roll out of the way immediately. Keep your distance when he's about to attack and look for openings. It should take about four good hits to take him down.
- Claim Your Prize: Once the Dinolfos is defeated, a chest will appear. Open it up to finally receive the Hero’s Bow and Quiver!
- Remember to keep your Deku Stick lit when you need it for torches, but be mindful of how long they last.
- Don't get too close to the Dinolfos when it's about to attack; its fire breath has a decent range.
- The ladders spawned by the switch in the Main Room are a lifesaver if you need to backtrack quickly.
