The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD Guide › Overworld: Thorough Explorations and Saving the Zora Prince

Task 1: Thoroughly Explore Lake Hylia

A Dive into Lanayru Spirit Cave

In order to maximize your energy, we’re showing you all the incidental items as early as possible. However, Midna may appear from time to time, wanting to press on with the mission to find Rutela’s son, the prince. You can start this part of the mission (Task #6) at any time.

Now that the final spirit has spoken to you, you’re free to hunt the land for chests, items, and other interesting trinkets before attempting to find the final Fused Shadow piece. Begin by diving into the pond inside the spirit cave. Put on your Iron Boots so you can sink to a small platform containing a chest, then swim and sink in the pond’s western part to find a second chest.

After raiding these two chests, check the pool for some underwater Bomb Rocks, and check the side ledges for grass containing multiple green Rupees (1). Look carefully before you leave to find vine walls, Clawshot medallions, and an upper exit in the south wall you can’t reach yet. Return here later.

Overworld Chest #20:

Blue Rupee (5)

Overworld Chest #21:

Yellow Rupee (10)

Exploring Lake Hylia

Without the twilight enveloping the area, you can now investigate every part of the lake. Start with the set of tiny islands and platforms in the southwest. Move to the island near Fyer’s house, and chat to a strange bird named Plumm (she doesn’t speak to humans, so return as a wolf) and a Zora guard. The other Zoras are on patrol at the lake’s bottom.

Plumm:

A female myna bird that works hard at her balloon-popping attraction, which she invites only those in wolf form to see. Plumm appears at two spots in Lake Hylia, ready to take your money in exchange for a shot at this minigame. She’s great friends with Trill.

There’s a large floating platform (called “The Isle of Riches” by some) tethered to Fyer’s hut. It has a pole and a rotating platform at the top; there are a few chests on here. This is a great place to land on, but you can do this only from above.

If you wish to move quickly to the bridge area above Lake Hylia, run toward the hut that Fyer has now opened for business. There’s a cannon hut jutting from the rocks next to the bridge, high above the lake’s northern wall. The price is only 10 Rupees. Give it a shot and step into the cannon. After the coordinates are measured, and the strange organ with the chirping Ooccoos is wound up, you’re fired! You land on a platform that has a giant target painted on it.

This cannon is a great way to reach the Hylian Bridge if Midna isn’t able to warp you, or you wish to try an exciting new minigame involving Cucco flying!
