Shadow Temple in the OOT Remake

Home / Dungeons / Shadow Temple

The Shadow Temple opens from the Kakariko graveyard once you can play the Nocturne of Shadow. The Lens of Truth is the tool the sources recommend, not a hard gate I can prove from a single line. The dungeon item is the Hover Boots. The boss is Bongo Bongo, who stays on the boss table rather than a detail page, because that name fell outside the first thirty. Zelda Wiki lists five Gold Skulltulas. The heart-piece cell in the source file is empty, so I leave the count blank instead of copying a 1998 number.

Impa is the Sage of Shadow, and her page is the character side of this temple. Dead Hand and ReDead both appear in these halls, and each has a page so the stun advice and the grab advice stay apart. Game8 and the wiki describe a visual overhaul without a documented layout change. I do not publish a new boat route or a new gibdo count.

The graveyard at night is the approach. The song comes from Sheik. Those two facts are the entry I will stand behind. A full key map belongs in the Game8 chapter linked below.
