Weigh down the scale platforms to even them out, and keep a clear path to the white tile platforms before the last statuette goes down. Shoot the diamond switches with arrows from the marked circles to slide the barriers and reach the Compass.

2. Several statues need to be moved to act as steps. At the Castle Town amphitheater, the Gerudo Desert rocks, and the Great Hylian Bridge vines, drop the statue below the ledge and hop from it to the symbol.
3. Once all the symbols are known, return to Kakariko Village. Shad reads the word, and the Dominion Rod can then move the statue blocking the ancient cannon.
4. Wait until Shad leaves the room, then have Midna warp the cannon to Lake Hylia.
5. Fyer, at his pagoda by the lake, offers to repair the cannon for 300 Rupees. Pay him, then Clawshot into the cannon to be fired up to the City in the Sky.

City in the Sky

Lanayru Province

1. The Oocca run a shop by the entrance. Keep the Iron Boots handy, since gusts blow across the gaps in the walls.
2. Pick up an Oocca to float across gaps like a Cucco. Use the Spinner in wall slots to extend bridges and the Clawshot on ivy, grates, and ceiling ornaments to reach doors and switch off wind barriers.
3. A dragon destroys the bridge in the central room. Climb the ivy columns back to the middle, and keep working through the east and west wings for the Small Key, Dungeon Map, and Water Bombs.
4. The tower mid-boss is a small dragon with a sword and shield. Pull its shield away with the Clawshot, then slash. Beating it yields the Double Clawshots.
5. The Double Clawshots open the east wing's crumbling pillars, flying plants, and meshes. Switch the fans on and off with the Iron Boots and the ceiling ornaments to find the Compass and the Big Key.

3. Zant's ghost seals each room and calls enemies in waves. After the first fight, hit the hand statue to drop a Sol and carry it to a floor groove. A stone hand chases the Sol, so run up the stairs and Clawshot it back before the hand takes it.
4. Carry the Sol out of the palace to lift the curse from a Twili, and place it in a slot to raise a platform to the west wing. Repeat for the second Sol in the west wing, where glowing platforms and dark globes carry Link across the fog.
5. Giving the second Sol lights the Master Sword. Its spin attacks now clear fog, so use them to reach the south tower, the Battlements for the Big Key, and the north tower with its light platforms.
6. The Big Key opens the throne room door. Collect the Small Keys on the way from the Zant heads in the east section of the third floor.

Boss: Usurper King Zant

The fight moves through earlier boss arenas, each needing a different tool, and ends with a sword duel where Zant's spin leaves him dizzy and open.

Hyrule Castle

1. Possessed Zelda hovers and summons triangular energy fields and energy balls. Flip clear of the fields and swing at the ball with a single timed slash to send it back at her.
2. Ganon takes the form of Dark Beast Ganon. Dodge his charge, watch the portals, and when a blue one opens, shoot an arrow at his forehead, then slash the belly scar while he slides.
3. Once the arrows stop working, become the wolf, grab him when the prompt appears, and throw him, then attack the belly scar.
4. On horseback, ride behind Ganondorf and keep a straight line so Zelda can land a Light Arrow, then close in and strike. Ride around the Phantom Riders. Repeat until Ganondorf falls from his horse.
5. The last fight is a sword duel in a walled arena. Keep a medium distance, press A on the chance prompt to lock swords, and win the struggle to land slashes and a spin attack.
6. After three exchanges, press A on the finish prompt to deliver the Ending Blow.

Boss: Ganon's Puppet Zelda, Dark Beast Ganon, Dark Lord Ganondorf

Stay about a sword's length away, circle him clockwise while targeting, and hit A at the chance prompt to enter the sword struggle that lets you chain slashes.
