Previously, with the power of the Water Dragon's Scale, Link entered and climbed the Great Tree and met Yerbal, the Kikwi hermit. With Yerbal's information, Link opened a gate in the south of Faron Woods and dove into Lake Floria. He met Jellyf the Parella, who is guiding him to the Water Dragon. He has progressed to the Lake Floria Bird Statue. Now, he will continue to the Water Dragon to learn the location of Farore's Flame.

Lake Floria:

Link resumes at the Lake Floria statue. He hops into the water and continues following Jellyf through the area.

Past a tunnel, they reach a pool with an aggressive fish called a Cranioc. Link must spin into the Cranioc once to stun it, then again to defeat it.

After the Cranioc is defeated, Link approaches the door at the far end of the pool for a scene. Jellyf opens the door to the Water Dragon's chamber. Link follows Jellyf through.

In the Water Dragon's chamber, Link spin-jumps onto the Water Dragon's platform in the middle. He talks to the Water Dragon, Faron. To prove that Link is the chosen hero, she asks him to bring her a bottle of Sacred Water to heal her wounds. Naturally, Link agrees. Fi gives Link the ability to dowse for Sacred Water. Link will also need to have an Empty Bottle on hand.

Link can spin-jump onto the ledges around the perimeter of the chamber. On the southern ledge, he finds a chest with a Silver Rupee, worth 100 Rupees. On the eastern ledge, he finds a chest with a Monster Horn.

Link takes the northwestern exit to find a waterfall. He strums his harp near some Blessed Butterflies to reveal another Sheikah Stone.

Link examines the Floria Waterfall Bird Statue. This will give him a convenient shortcut.

Link can also catch a grasshopper and other bugs here.

Link takes the northern exit to Faron Woods.

Faron Woods (time 12:56):

When Link enters the area, Fi pops out to dispense advice. Link has arrived on the northwest ledge in Faron Woods. He pushes down a log to make a shortcut. A Wooden Shield Moblin is in the clearing below.

At the In the Woods statue, Link takes off for the Sky.

The Sky (time 15:26):

Link dives into the green pillar of light again, this time choosing the Forest Temple landing spot.

Deep Woods (time 16:05):

Dowsing leads into Skyview Temple, so Link enters.

Skyview Temple (time 16:28):

As Link enters the temple, Fi pops out for some more dialogue. She advises that he head for the northern end of the dungeon. However, she warns that the enemy presence is stronger now.

In the northern part of the first room, Link finds butterflies fluttering around a wall. Playing the harp reveals a special wall panel. Kortz the Mogma emerges from the ground for some dialogue. On the special wall panel, Link can draw something on the wall to get it, such as Rupees, hearts, or fairies.

Link takes the shortcut north to the third room. It is now home to Froaks, a Green Bokoblin, and a Green Bokoblin Archer. After defeating the Bokoblins, Link saves at the Bird Statue.

Then, Link heads into the eastern room. Near the first spider web, he meets Kortz again. Kortz found a Small Key, but he forgot where he hid it. Link dives into the pool and takes the tunnel east. After climbing the ivy, he finds the dig spot that yields the Small Key.

Link returns to the third room. He heads north through the locked door. In the large circular room, he encounters a Staldra.

Link has unlocked the shortcut to the northern room, but a couple of Green Bokoblin Archers await on the far side of the gap. Link sends the Beetle in to grab Bombs and drop them on the enemies.

As Link approaches the boss door, Kortz pops up again. He is disappointed with what he found, but it may be useful to Link. It might be a good idea to save before going through the boss door.

Link goes through to the boss room. Three Stalfos come to life for a miniboss battle. Link should fight them carefully and focus them down one at a time.

Once the three Stalfos are defeated, Link goes north to the Skyview Spring. In the north of the spring, Link finds the Sacred Water at the base of a waterfall where Fairies are flying. Link pulls out his Empty Bottle and scoops up some Sacred Water. Fi transports him outside the dungeon.

Deep Woods (time 30:36):

Link uses the Forest Temple to return to the Sky.

The Sky (time 31:11):

Link dives into the green column of light and lands at the Floria Waterfall.
