Water Temple in the OOT Remake

Home / Dungeons / Water Temple

The Water Temple is the adult dungeon at Lake Hylia, and it is the one people still argue about. Entry needs the Serenade of Water, the Iron Boots, and the Zora Tunic. The dungeon item is the Longshot. The boss is Morpha, who does not have a detail page here. Zelda Wiki lists five Gold Skulltulas and no heart piece inside. I print that zero instead of guessing a piece that was moved.

Three 2026 changes are specific enough to keep, and they come from more than one write-up. The Iron Boots sit on the D-pad. Some solid walls are now lattice. Aonuma called the pass overdue homework. IGN, Game8, and Games.gg are the guides behind those sentences, with the wiki as the layout baseline. I do not redraw the whole map, and I do not claim every key order changed.

Ruto's page is the sage story. Dark Link's page is the mirror room that gates the Longshot chest. The central pillar and the water-level switches are the reason the boots matter. A full room-by-room route belongs in the Game8 temple guide I link below. What I refuse to do is copy a 1998 water-level chart and call it current.
