Wing Dungeon (Level 2) Walkthrough

Step inside from the Deku Forest and climb the stairs of the first statue rooms. The hint statues here nudge you to defend yourself: Spiked Beetles shrug off sword hits, so put the Wooden Shield (or the Shovel) on a button. Keep a few Bombs handy too, because the first cracked wall is not far away.

Push the blocks out of your way, kill the Ropes and take the north-west exit into a corridor maze of blue blocks. Two Sparks patrol the lanes and cannot be killed yet, so time your moves and slip past them to the room on the west.

Keese and blue Pig Warriors fight you in the west room. The Pig Warriors carry swords, so strike them from the side rather than head on. Once every enemy is down, a Small Key drops from above. Pick it up and walk back east through the Spark maze.

Return to the room with the minecart rails and the yellow arrow tile. Push the middle blocks aside, go to the east end of the ledge and bomb the cracked wall. Walk through the hole and open the chest for the Dungeon Map. Press SELECT to see the floors; unvisited rooms are shown dark.

Go back to the Spiked Beetle room and spend your Small Key on the locked door in its east wall. A pit room full of blue blocks lies behind it, and the chest in its upper-right corner holds the Compass. Weave between the blocks and holes and open it.

Climb back to the pit room and head through the door beyond it. Beat the two blue Pig Warriors, unlock the locked door in the west wall with your key and climb into the waiting minecart. You cannot steer it, but you can swing your sword to clear enemies. Follow the track north to the mini-boss room.

The Roc’s Feather lies on the ground on the far side of the Thwomp rather than in a chest. Pick it up, put it on a button and jump with it. It is the dungeon item of the Wing Dungeon, and you will need it constantly from here on to cross pits.

Go back toward the left and hop up the first step. When the Thwomp descends, jump onto it. When it rises, jump left onto the small ledge for 30 Rupees. The ledge on the right of the Thwomp is empty.

Jump the gaps to the minecart and board it. While you ride, hit the track switch with your sword so you stay in the same room instead of leaving it. Bomb the cracked east wall, kill the Stalfos and Keese behind it and open the chest that appears for Small Key 3.

Return to the cart room and push the cube around until it fills the marked square and the barrier opens. Ride the minecart again, then deal with the Peahats once they land. In the tile room, jump over the right-hand tiles until they match the colours on the left. Small Key 4 falls from the ceiling.

Walk west and up the stairs, then open the key block on the right with Small Key 4. Skip the minecart there. Hop off the left ledge, go south and jump the holes. Jump the colour field until it turns blue to open the gate, then board the cart.

In the north room, beat the Pig Warriors and the Peahat, then lift every jar except the upper-right one with the Power Bracelet. Push that one toward the floor switch, using the Roc’s Feather to hop behind it when you need to change direction. When the switch is down, the east door opens.

In the south room, defeat the Pig Warriors. The coloured tile on the floor decides which statues can move. Hop to yellow and push the yellow statue into the middle. Hop to blue and place the blue statues around it. Hop to red and slide the red statues into the corners. Small Key 5 drops once the pattern copies the one on the left.

Go through the east door into the red-floored room. Camouflaged Gels are invulnerable while they match the floor. Jump over the middle tile to change the floor colour so they show up, and strike them quickly. When the last Gel dies, a chest appears with the Boss Key.

When Head Thwomp falls, a Heart Container appears. Take it to raise your life meter by one heart. Climb down the right ladder and go right to the essence chamber.
