Navi's advice

This is the combined form of Kotake and Koume. Turn their magic attack back at them!

Damage to Link

Health Link loses when an attack of Twinrova hits him, one line per attack strength, 16 points to a heart. Once a Great Fairy strengthens Link's defensive power, the damage is halved, rounded up.

If Link catches fire in Twinrova's room, the burn costs him 1 point every frame, 20 a second, instead of 1 every 8 frames.

In the official guides

Boss of the Spirit Temple: the twin witches Kotake (ice) and Koume (fire), each weak to the other's magic. Reflect each spell onto the other sister with the Mirror Shield. Once they merge, absorb three spells of the same element in a row and the shield fires them back.

コタケは炎、コウメは氷の魔法に弱い。

ゼルダの伝説 時のオカリナ 完全攻略ガイドブック (NTT出版, 1999), p. 143, Translated by 101Leafy

Make Koume and Kotake hit each other with their spells. When they merge, absorb three of one spell with the Mirror Shield and send it back.

Link would collect the energy from one type of spell three times in a row on the Mirror Shield, then reflect back the energy.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Official Nintendo Player's Guide (Nintendo of America, 1998), p. 103

Koume spits fire and Kotake breathes ice. Catch one sister's attack in the Mirror Shield and send it back at Twinrova.

Koume spits fire and Kotake sends a blast of arctic ice.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Prima's Official Strategy Guide (Prima Publishing, 1998), p. 117

Before the witches Link fights an Iron Knuckle that turns out to be Nabooru under their spell.

Bevor Link es mit den beiden Killa Ohmaz Koume und Kotake zu tun bekommt, schicken die ihm einen weiteren Stahlkrieger entgegen.

With the Mirror Shield Link turns the fire witch's attacks onto the ice witch and the reverse.

die Feuermagie auf die Eishexe zu lenken - und umgekehrt.

Der offizielle Nintendo Spieleberater: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Nintendo of Europe, 1998), p. 89, Translated by 101Leafy

After some hits the witches merge; Link soaks up three attacks of the same kind with the shield, fires the stored beam back and then uses the sword.

Hat der Schild dreimal hintereinander eine Feuerattacke oder dreimal eine Eisattacke absorbiert, erzeugt er seinerseits einen Magiestrahl, den Link nun auf die Hexe lenkt.

Der offizielle Nintendo Spieleberater: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Nintendo of Europe, 1998), p. 89, Translated by 101Leafy

An attack of the opposite element before the third one cancels the stored charge.

Fängt Link eine gegensätzliche Attacke auf, bevor es ihm gelungen ist, dreimal einen Magiestrahl der gleichen Sorte zu sammeln, ist der Schild wieder neutralisiert.
