Shadow Temple dungeon walkthrough in Ocarina of Time

To complete the Shadow Temple dungeon in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, you must first obtain the Lenses of Truth from the Bottom of the Well and Din's Fire from the Great Fairy Fountain at the top of Death Mountain. If you aim to collect all Gold Skulltula tokens, you'll also need the Scarecrow Song from Lake Hylia.

Upon entering the dungeon, be wary of the Flying Pots in the initial hallway. Proceed through the fake wall, and inside the subsequent room, locate the vulture statue with skulls surrounding it. Utilize the Lenses of Truth to determine the skull of truth and rotate the vulture statue's beak to point at it, which will open a door.

Next, evade the apparent pit and traverse the fake wall, then open the door and interact with the ceiling skull, which will guide you to use the Lenses of Truth. Equip the Lenses of Truth and explore the hidden path to the north beneath the prominent skull.

Inside the ensuing room, confront a ReDead and two Keese by playing the Sun's Song (A - R - X - A - R - X) to stun the ReDead and vanquish all enemies. Retrieve the dungeon map from the chest.

Return to the previous chamber and use the Lenses of Truth to uncover a path to the west. In the next room, there will be another concealed path in the northwest corner. Descend the hall, and one of the floor tiles will sink, but fear not, as you won't fall to your demise. Proceed through the door, facing off against a Dead Hand.

Several limbs will emerge from the ground, so if you possess ample magic power, stand on the central platform and employ Din's Fire to eliminate all the arms at once. The main body will then emerge, and you must attack its face while it lowers its head, then retreat. Repeat this process until you defeat the Dead Hand and obtain a chest containing the Hover Boots, which enable you to float and traverse air.

Upon obtaining the Hover Boots, equip them and traverse the floor tile that dislodged. Proceed to the room with the vulture statue, now equipped with the Hover Boots, and cross the gap to the door. Inside the next room, vanquish the Beamos by throwing a bomb, then navigate past the fake walls and rock wall to the east.

In the forthcoming room, engage five rotating scythe-wielding statues to collect the five crystals necessary to unlock a chest. Afterward, return to the previous room and demolish the rock wall. Utilize the small key to unlock the door and traverse the path, being cautious of Skulltulas and guillotines. When the guillotines ascend, walk past them, and upon reaching the elevator, descend to encounter additional guillotines.

To safely traverse the first guillotine, utilize your Hover Boots and avoid the Red Bubble on the subsequent platform. Proceed to confront the Stalfos on the final platform while disarming your Hover Boots for unrestricted movement. Defeat the Stalfos, then head east to equip your Lenses of Truth and enter the door. Within, confront a Like Like and avoid the rotating scythe statue in the center.

Defeat the Fire Keese and Like Like to unlock the door to the next chamber and collect the Gold Skulltula token. Return to the previous room, activate the moving platforms, and collect the remaining five crystals to unlock the door to the final room.
