Navigate Floor 5 (Outside) in The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, defeat enemies like Spear Moblins and Ice Wizzrobes, and find the Big Key.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Exit down into a new part of the temple.
  2. 2
    Defeat the new enemies using your Bow. Charge Light Arrows for added effects. They drop giant green Rupees and a small key.
  3. 3
    Exit through the top left door.
  4. 4
    In the next room, kill the Stalfos.
  5. 5
    In the bottom left area, throw the bottom right pot. Push the top right pot onto the bottom left switch. Use your Mirror (a clone ability) to get the remaining pots.
  6. 6
    Exit left.
  7. 7
    Hit the button to activate the vent. Boost glide across the gap and exit right.
  8. 8
    Warning: You will be ambushed by two Spear Moblins and two Ice Wizzrobes. These enemies can freeze you. Prioritize defeating them by stunning and attacking.
  9. 9
    If enemies are on the other side of the vent current, you may need to be higher than them for your Boomerang to hit them, as the current will push it down. Arrows can also be used effectively if you stun them first.
  10. 10
    After dealing with the Ice Wizzrobes, take out the Moblins.
  11. 11
    Exit right.
  12. 12
    Glide across the gap.
  13. 13
    Defeat the two Red Stalfos. If they are at the top, try swinging at them to make them jump off the edge.
  14. 14
    Exit right.
  15. 15
    In the next room, activate the switch and use the vent to boost glide across again.
  16. 16
    Once across, push the left block to the left. Open the chest for a small key.
  17. 17
    Push the block on the right to the right.
  18. 18
    Push the block above you up.
  19. 19
    Open the top door and exit through it.
  20. 20
    In the next room, open the chest to obtain the Big Key.
  21. 21
    Go back to the room with the Ball & Chain Soldiers (gold knight enemies).
  22. 22
    Open the big door using the Big Key.
  23. 23
    Inside, you will find only skulls (containing hearts) and an arrow pointing down.
  24. 24
    Jump down.
Tips
  • Charge your Light Arrows for enhanced effects against enemies.
  • Use the vent current to your advantage when throwing or shooting projectiles.
  • The Boomerang can be tricky to aim with the vent current; adjust your position accordingly.
  • Stunning enemies before attacking can make the fight against the Spear Moblins and Ice Wizzrobes easier.
  • Be aware that the Red Stalfos can be tricked into jumping off the edge.
