Beyond the Gerudo gate lies a sandstorm that only the Lenses of Truth can read. You learn a ghost’s path across the Mirage Desert, meet Sheik at the Evil Desert Colossus for the Requiem of Spirit, and clear five Gold Skulltulas, three Heart Pieces, the Biggest Quiver and Nayru’s Love before the Spirit Temple. The route runs between the desert, Gerudo Fortress and a quick child visit to the Colossus.

Mirage Desert (crossing the sandstorm)

Enter the Mirage Desert and find the stone tablet

Step out of Gerudo Fortress onto the sand and the Mirage Desert banner appears. Visibility is almost nothing, so hold up the Lenses of Truth as you walk and aim for the ragged flags on tall poles. Follow them over the dunes until pillars and ruined walls rise out of the dust. A stone tablet stands among them. Press A to read it: it says those with eyes of truth will be guided to the Spirit Temple by a welcoming specter.

Wake the Phantom Guide

Return to the tablet and read it again with the Lenses of Truth raised. A purple ghost with a lantern drifts out of the air and says you have got yourself some eyes of truth. It says the way to the Spirit Temple is winding and narrow, that you will not make it without a guide, and asks if you want to follow it. It also asks whether you have everything you need, so finish any errands before you answer.

Choose I’m ready now. The ghost warns that the path there is easy enough but getting back is not, then tells you to keep up. Keep the Lens up and stay close behind the Phantom Guide as it floats through the storm, calling out “This way, this way…” every few seconds. Monsters burst out of the sand along the route. Strike them as they appear and keep moving. At the end the ghost tells you to walk straight ahead. The storm breaks and the Evil Desert Colossus banner marks the far side.

Evil Desert Colossus (Requiem of Spirit)

A short trip as child to the Colossus

Walk on to the carved ledge and play the Prelude of Light to warp to the Temple of Time. Put the Master Sword back in its pedestal to become child, then leave the hall and play the Requiem of Spirit to return to the Colossus. The Gold Skulltula in the soft soil and the Magic Bean both need child Link, and both are in the same stone corner.

Gerudo Fortress and the Horseback Archery range

Ride back to Gerudo Fortress

Mount Epona and ride the Gerudo road to the Gerudo Fortress banner. Leave the horse at the stairs near the gate. Go through the doorway at the top of the steps and climb the brick walls with A until you stand on a high terrace overlooking a walled yard.

Talk to the Horseback-Archery Attendant

Climb down, mount Epona and ride through the courtyard. A sign by the gate reads Gerudo Proving Grounds, Come forth, challengers! That trial waits for a later chapter. Ride to the red awning and talk to the Horseback-Archery Attendant. A round costs 30 rupees and gives you 20 arrows. The closer you are to the target, the more points you score, and the round ends when the arrows run out or you finish a lap.

Evil Desert Colossus at night

Warp back to the Colossus

Dismount and play the Requiem of Spirit to warp to the Evil Desert Colossus. You land on the round warp pad. It is night, so the sprout planted as child has become a bean plant ready to ride.

Nayru’s Love from the Great Fairy of Magic

Smash the cracked wall

Walk back through the palm oasis. A cracked red rock wall sits in the cliff beside the trees. Equip the Megaton Hammer and hit it until it falls apart, then walk down the sandy corridor beyond to the golden hall with the Triforce mark on its floor.

Leave the desert

Walk out of the corridor into the desert and play the Prelude of Light to warp to the Temple of Time.

Chapter checklist

Next is the Spirit Temple, which you visit once as a child and again as an adult.
