In this segment, the Tower of Hera is beaten. I did it all in one go. Surprisingly, I got this to work on my very first attempt!

First, I grab an easy piece of heart in a random cave along the way.

The skeletons here aren't dangerous, and the mini-Moldorms/fire breathing dragons are usually trapped somewhere where they can be killed without effort. The tile room is as easy as ever.

On the trip back from the boss key, I could have used the mirror earlier, but because this was my first try I didn't know the dungeon layout well yet.

The blue bouncy shelled things aren't too threatening, but you often have to think beforehand about where you'll end up after you slash them. The floor changing tiles can be used to humorous effect here.

I show off another useless fairy secret before the boss. I always found this one fun as a kid. After that I proceed to waste a lot of time by jumping down the wrong hole.

Against the boss, I use spin slashes to increase my reach, and I use the hole in the center as something of a shield. There's a possibility that he'll do everything right and head straight towards me on a trajectory that I can't avoid, but this is fairly unlikely. Even then, I may be able to escape by jumping down the hole if I'm fast enough.
