Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake: Forest Temple Dungeon Guide to Four Poes and the Fairy Bow
Four Poes Set the Goal
The Forest Temple opens with four Poes escaping, each carrying an essence. Finding all four is required to move forward through the dungeon. The temple is one of several striking areas in the Switch 2 edition. Its updated design differs from the version first remade for 3DS.
First Rooms and Stalfos
Head up the stairs and pass through the first door. Deal with the undead bat using the Hookshot or a slash, then enter the next room. Two Stalfos await there. Bait an attack, dodge, strike several times and retreat; drawing them out one at a time can help. Hookshots can stun them from a distance, and bombs are also effective. Defeating them earns a silver key.
Blocks, Shortcut and Well
Return to the main hall, turn right and use the key on the door. In the next area, watch for a red spotlight from the Wallmaster and keep rolling to avoid it.
Climb the ladder and move blocks along the hallway, following the arrows on the floor, then use the ladders to reach higher levels and fit the blocks into their indentations. Press the floor button to activate an elevator shortcut, ride it and return to the main hall.
Key points
- Four fleeing Poes carry essences that Link must recover to progress.
- The first major fight is against two Stalfos, with a silver key as the reward.
- Block puzzles lead to an elevator shortcut through the temple.
- The route described ends with a button that drains the well.
