#28 The Sacred Water at Skyview Temple
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
In front of Link is a large log, push it over the ledge to create a short cut to this area. Drop down and deal with the Wooden Shield Moblin. Leave this area and make it back to the entrance to the Deep Woods, then to Skyview Temple. The alternative is to use the Bird Statue at the grotto, go to the sky and then return to the deep woods landing in front the Skyview Temple.
As Link enters the Temple, Fi appears to say that she detects the presence of the Sacred Water. But, unfortunately the dowsing ability is not possible within the temple. She estimates the Sacred Water is in the deepest part of the temple and has marked the location with a red "X". Turn right and start down the staircase. A Quadro Baba will drop down from the ceiling. Equip the Hook Beetle to cut his vine. Now cut a way through the spider web and a stand of trees. In front of Link are several Blue Butterflies and a soft soil spot that contains Rupees. Equip the Goddess Harp and walk toward the wall near the Blue Butterflies. The Mogma, Kortz, comes up from the soft soil spot and tells Link he met him in the Volcano. And he asks if Link is here to do some treasure hunting. Say "Yes" and he will ask if the Big Stone Guy tipped you off. Say "Tip" and Kortz will tell Link to strum a chord where butterflies dance. Kortz disappears into the ground.
Go to the wall again, using the Goddess Harp, strum and a Goddess Symbol will appear on the wall. Kortz comes back up from the ground and tells Link that he thinks Link is going to swipe all the treasure for himself. But Link is in for a disappointment. Walk up to the symbol, raise the sword to the sky to charge it and draw a heart. About a dozen hearts, pop out of the wall to replenish Link’s life. Turn around and go through the large crawl space in the wall. In the next large chamber are two Green Bokoblins and several Froaks. One Bokoblin is on a floating log and the other is on the pathway. Take out the one on the pathway in the usual manner. Equip the Hook Beetle to blow up the Froaks and to knock the other Green Bokoblin off the log. Continue down the walkway and go to the door on the left.
As Link enters the new room, Kortz will pop up out of a soft soil spot to tell Link that he had a small key and lost it. Kortz then tells Link he put it in a hole, but can’t remember which one. Turn around and leave this room the way Link came in. Follow the pathway to the door on the other side of the chamber. Enter this room, slice through the web and turn to the right. Dive into the water and go through a crawl space at the bottom of the wall, on the left. In the next room, look to the left and climb the vine-covered wall to a large crawl space. Walk forward to find a soft soil spot that contains the small key. Dig it up and leave through the small crawl space next to Link. From this room, go to the center of the main chamber. Turn right and jump onto the floating log. Now leap onto the vine-covered wall, up the steps, and unlock the door.
In this next large chamber, go to the North end and into a hallway leading to another smaller chamber. At the top of the steps is a tightrope reaching the other side of a deep void where two Green Bokoblins are standing. They are equipped with a long-range bow and arrow making Link an easy target. Position Link behind a mushroom to act as a shield. Directly above the tightrope is the curled branch of a tree with a bomb flower hanging beneath it. Equip the Hook Beetle to grab the bomb flower and drop one on each of the Bokoblins. Now carefully cross the void using the tightrope. As Link reaches the other side, Kortz pops out of the ground again to say that he can not find any treasure and there is nothing but water now. Kortz then disappears into the ground. Walk to the door and open it.
As Link enters this chamber three Stalfos will assemble themselves. To defeat them, place a bomb nearby causing an explosion so that they will drop their swords. They will be stunned for a few seconds. Get in as many slices as possible before they pick up their swords. The jars surrounding the room contain hearts and bombs if needed. Once defeated, the door at the North end of the room will be aglow with the Goddess Symbol. Go through the door and up the steps. Link enters an area he has been in before, the Skyview Spring. Fi appears to tell Link she detects the Sacred Water nearby. Walk up to the second waterfall feeding the spring. Equip an empty bottle and scoop the water. Link now has a container of Sacred Water. Fi appears and suggests he take it back to the Water Dragon as soon as possible.
