TEMPLE OF TIME - Elevator Platform Room
Head to the left as you enter, going to the south end of the circular room. Defeat a trio of Lizalfos who guard the stairset, then start climbing counter-clockwise up the stairs, being wary of more Lizalfos who guard the stairs. Near the northeast end of the stairset, you'll reach a wide gap. Continue your climb up using the Spinner Track on the wall to the right, jumping off at the end of the track to avoid ricocheting off the pillar.
Get off the Spinner after jumping from the track, and look to the south to see a circular platform suspended over the middle of the room. Run to the east end of the circle, watching out for a Spike that spins its away around the perimeter of the circle. On a ledge on the east end of the circle, you'll find a small statue. Pick it up, and carry it to the south end of the circle. There is a pair of switches here; drop the statue onto one of them.
Now, run to the center of the circle using the path on its north end. There's a wedge on the pillar here which you can push on to make the platform raise or lower. Push on it so that the platform lowers one level, and look to the west. There's another stone statue here. Grab it, and drop it on the elevator platform in the middle of the room.
Push the wedge to raise the platform back up to its middle section (you should be on the fifth floor if you look at your map). Carry your new stone statue to its partner on the south end of the circle, dropping it onto the other switch. The glowing tiles near the switches will rise into the air. You've got to be standing on them before they rise (you've got less then a second to jump onto it before it will be out of reach). Pick up one of the statues to reset the platform if you miss.

Dark Nut
The Dark Nut is a heavily armored foe, making him very difficult to hit. He uses his shield very well, blocking most of your attacks. If you have the Helm Splitter, this will be an easy fight. Simply hit him once t make him raise his shield, then use Helm Splitter to knock a chunk of his armor off. The Back Slice also works quite well. If you don't have any of these abilities, then the fight will be much more difficult. You'll have to wait for the Dark Nut to attack, dodge out of the way of the attack, where upon its sword will be lodged into the ground. It is vulnerable to basic sword strikes when this happens. If you block the attack with your shield, you will not be able to damage the Darknut. You MUST dodge the attack.
After you have knocked all of the Dark Nut's armor off, the second phase of the fight begins, signified by a brief cut scene. Like fighting the armored Dark Nut without special abilities, you must wait for the Dark Nut to attack, successfully dodge the attack, and then damage him in the brief window when he is not able to defend himself. Repeat until the Dark Nut is dust.
When the Dark Nut is defeated, a gate will open on the west side of the room, revealing a chest. Open the chest to get the Dominion Rod. This quirky little item lets you take control of certain inanimate objects. Step out of the chests alcove, whip out the Dominion Rod, and fire its energy at the statue above as though you ere firing an arrow.
Now that you have control of the statue, it will move exactly as you do. Head back to the east end of the room with your faithful statue in tow, and move so that the statue steps beneath the large bell on the east end of the room. The statue will vanish, being transported elsewhere in the dungeon. Go through the east door.
