Chapter
Mountain Village and Snowhead
See Darmani's ghost with the Lens of Truth, play the Song of Healing at his grave, and carry the Goron Lullaby up to Snowhead.
1. Open the mountain road
After Woodfall, go north from Termina Field. Use the Hero’s Bow on the ice obstruction to open the mountain route, clear the snowballs and activate the village owl statue before continuing toward Goron Village.
2. Get the Lens of Truth
Follow Kaepora Gaebora’s feather trail across the invisible platforms near Goron Village. Open the cave chest for the Lens of Truth, then use it to see the return platforms and Darmani’s ghost.
3. Heal Darmani
Follow the ghost back toward the graveyard, using the Lens to find his climbing route. Inside the grave, play the Song of Healing and receive the Goron Mask. As Goron Link, move the gravestone to access hot spring water.
4. Thaw the Goron Elder
Bottle Hot Spring Water and bring it promptly to the frozen Elder along the mountain roads. Break the covering snowball if needed. His position changes by day. Speak to him as Goron Link to learn the Lullaby Intro.
5. Complete the Goron Lullaby
Enter Goron Shrine and stand before the crying baby upstairs. Play the Lullaby Intro on Goron drums. The baby supplies the rest of the melody, completing the Goron Lullaby.
6. Quiet the Snowhead wind
Climb the road with Goron rolling. At the windy approach, use the Lens to identify the giant Goron and play the full Goron Lullaby to put him to sleep. Finish the climb and enter Snowhead Temple.
7. Win the Fire Arrows
Explore the lower floors, solve the Goron Pound switches and fight the first Wizzrobe. Its reward chest contains Fire Arrows. Melt the frozen doors and switches, raise the central pillar and reach the upper floors for the Boss Key.
8. Chase Goht and use the spring
Thaw Goht with a Fire Arrow, then pursue him as rolling Goron Link. The 3DS battle adds visible eye weak points. Collect the Heart Container and remains. Deliver all fifteen fairies for doubled magic in N64/NSO or Spin Attack in 3DS; spring then opens the Powder Keg test, race and sword upgrades.
