Ice Ring Isle (E6)

Ice Ring Isle (E6) is a small island that is completely engulfed in a freezing mist, making it inaccessible to anyone without the proper tools. Lucky for us, the Queen of Fairies gave us the ability to shoot Fire Arrows from the Hero’s Bow.

Shoot a Fire Arrow into the “mouth” of the dragon-shaped cave entrance to stop the icy gale from blowing for five minutes. Hop onto the island and follow the path to the left of the dragon’s head, then climb up the ledges on your right.

Be careful while climbing the short ledges: They are angled just enough to send you sliding, which could result in you falling off to the path below.

Follow the icy, narrow path until it dead-ends, then hop across the platforms in the water to your left. Head into the mouth of the dragon and take the narrow catwalk on your right.

Move very slowly across the catwalk, and climb the steps on its other side. Watch out for the Keese that will swoop in to attack. Climb the next set of steps on your left and creep slowly forward until you begin to slide. This will allow you to have more control over your movement while you slide down the slope. Just steer with to stay on the path and you’ll be fine.

At the end of the slope is a treasure chest containing the Iron Boots, the item that will help us deal with that horrible gale on Gale Isle. As soon as you claim the boots, the timer will stop. With the Iron Boots equipped, walk past the vortex that is blowing out of the wall; you’ll have no issue getting back to the entrance and out of the cave.

Nintendo Gallery Notice A rare shield-toting Darknut lurks within the secret cave beyond the wind. Use the Iron Boots to walk into the wind and drop through the hole to enter the secret cave. Loose a Fire Arrow to thaw out the Darknut, then take a pictograph of this rare enemy while you have the chance!
