1. You start off inside the main room. Swim over to the right and enter the little passage. (Make sure to de-equip the Iron Boots so you can swim again).

2. When you see the water-filled hole, equip the Iron Boots and drop down. Find the block and pull it back as far as possible. Float back to the passage you entered. You can get the Compass now, so step off the edge of the passage and equip the Iron Boots to start sinking.

3. As you sink past the middle door, de-equip the boots so you can swim inside it. Equip the Iron Boots again and use the Hookshot to kill the Stingers in the hallway. When you get to the spikes, just Hookshot yourself over them. Then, hookshot onto the target on the ceiling so you can get into the room.

4. You'll see a chest blocked by a geyser. Go near it and use the Hookshot to hit the diamond switch. The geyser will stop and you can take the Compass.

5. Go back to the main room and sink all the way to the temple floor.

6. Go to the room with the two unlit torches (east side). Walk on in and talk with Ruto. Float after her as far as you can. You will find a triforce on the wall. Go near it and play Zelda's Lullaby to drain the water.

7. Now, go in the door on the opposite wall. When fighting the Spike enemies, hit them with your Hookshot and then use your sword to fight it while it is a rock. Kill all the Spikes in the room to make a chest with the Dungeon Map appear.

8. Now, go back to place where you first met Ruto (bottom floor). The middle is now lit, but the rest are not. You can use Din's Fire or shoot an arrow through the torch so it passes through the flame and hits a torch. After all the torches are lit, the door will open.

9. When you kill all of the shell blades, open the newly appeared the chest for a small key.

10. Now, go back to main room and go to the western part of it. Push the block so that it falls in the hole. Jump in after it falls and swim through the path to the room.

11. First kill the Blue Tektite. Now, hit the switch with anything you like. A geyser will appear in the center. Jump on it and then jump onto the other side. Go in the room.

12. This room has a lot of strong currents. Float until you’re above flat platform (the Dragon statue’s tail) Use the hookshot to hit the switch in the dragon's mouth. Then turn to your right and hookshot onto the target so you can enter the cage. De-equip the iron boots and float on up and open the chest for a small key.

13. Go back into to the main room again and this time go the south way. Swim until you reach the room with the switch. Hit the switch so that the water level is raised so you reach the next platform. Use the Hookshot on the target when you reach the high platform. In the gate, you should see a Gold Skulltula and a switch. The only thing that can enable the switch are a Spin Attack, or a slice with your Giant's Knife/Biggoron Sword. After you are doing getting the Gold Skulltula token, go back into the main room.

14. Enter the locked door just north of when you come back into the main room.

15. Use your Hookshot on the target in the middle part of the room (use C Up to look around). Go next to the Triforce symbol on the same platform and play Zelda's Lullaby. The water will now rise to the middle level, and the platform you stepped on when you entered has now floated to the middle. Put on your Iron Boots and sink into the hole that has been newly revealed.

16. When you get into the room after sinking, hit the switch from far away. A lot of enemies will drop from above the switch after you trigger it. Kill all the Spikes and Shell Blades. After they are all dead, the door in the other corner will open so float up there.

17. Get onto the dry platform and blow up the crack in the wall with a bomb. Get the small key in the chest and then leave the way you came.

18. When you are back in the room with the Hookshot target and Triforce symbol, just leave from the middle part of the room since the water level has risen.

19. In the main room, equip the Iron Boots and sink back to the bottom. Go to where you met Princess Ruto. When you get to the locked door, float up as much as you can. Get on the platform after you are done rising and blow up the crack in the wall with a bomb. Get the small key in the chest. Now, go back to the main room.

20. Go west in the main room and climb or Hookshot onto the west platform with the locked door and the Hookshot target above it.

21. In this room, just hit the switch when you are standing on the geyser. The geyser will rise, but hold your shield out and place it above yourself as much as possible. A Blue Tektite will try to attack you, but you will block it with your shield. After fighting with the Tektite, exit the room and you will wind on a ledge that overlooks the main room. Play Zelda's Lullaby on the Triforce seal on the same ledge. Now, jump back into the water.

22. The water will be at the top level now. Swim over to the west side again and enter the locked door.

23. In this room, there are platforms and waterfalls. First off, use your Hookshot to kill any Keese you see. Don't bother with the Gold Skulltula since you cannot get it yet. Drop down to one of the bottom platforms. After that, Hookshot onto one of the moving platforms (make sure it is not one that is about to fall). From there, Hookshot onto another one and another until you reach the top. Enter the next room.

24. Kill the Blue Tektites first. They like to bother you when you are trying to finish the room. After killing the Blue Tektites, hit the switch in the center with your Hookshot or Bow. The Dragon statues will rise, each with a Hookshot target on them. Hookshot onto the first dragon statue. Next, shoot the switch to make the statues lower. Hookshot onto the target on the wall. Then climb over the Dragon statue's head. Shoot the switch again. Hookshot onto the third Dragon Statue. Shoot the switch again. Stand on top of the third Dragon Statue's head. Shoot the switch again. You will now rise with the third statue. In the next part of the room, you need to Hookshot onto the target on the ceiling to leave. To kill the Like-Like, just shoot arrows at it until dead. Enter the door.

25. Walk to the other side of the room, then to the island in the middle. Dark Link will start to appear. You may recognize him from The Adventures of Link. To beat him, you could just fight him like you would other sub-bosses. People looking for the easy way out will use Din's Fire or the Megaton Hammer (you people suck). Kill in any way you like. After your are done killing him, go into the north door.

26. Get the Longshot, play the Song of Time to remove the Blue Block on the floor, and fall down through the hole. Swim in the water avoiding the whirlpools. When you get to the second whirlpool, take a breather on the nearby ledge and kill the Gold Skulltula on the wall nearby. After the third and fourth whirlpools, climb onto the platform and hit the eye switch (use C Up to look for it) with an arrow. Longshot onto the dropped chest and open it for a small key. Then use the platform your on now to exit.

27. After all that, go back into the room where you met Princess Ruto. Float all the way to top and play Zelda's Lullaby again to lower the water level to the bottom. Go into the room with the second Triforce. Play Zelda's Lullaby for the Triforce symbol there to raise the water level to the middle.

28. Go to the south part of the main room and use an arrow on the eye target. Longshot across before the gate closes. Push the block as far as possible and then turn right to get the small key. When you are done with that, go back to the room with the falling ledges.

29. Go back to the room with the raising geyser you ride on. Float up and exit to room to go back to the triforce symbol. Play Zelda's Lullaby and raise the water level to the top. Just so you know, this is the last time you have to change the water level. As you leave the little ledge, equip the Iron Boots and sink on down to the bottom floor of the main room.

30. Go to the north part of the bottom floor of the main room and enter the little door.

31. When you get to the room with the spikes and the Hookshot target, Longshot yourself over the spikes and next to the locked door.

32. In this room, there are Blue Tektites on guard, whirlpools in two corners and falling boulders. Just use the Iron Boots and walk across the center to the other side. If the Blue Tektites are giving problems when you are trying to climb up, just Longshot them from the floor. Leave through the door.

33. Now, in this room, first kill all the Stingers in the room. That way, your life will be easier. Now, go down, and bomb each of the southern walls (one has a different color texture and the other has a crack in the wall). Push and grab the big block until it goes through one wall and out the other. In the end, you should push the block off the edge onto the switch located in the slot where the block falls. Go with the rising water level into the room on the west.

34. In this room, just hit the switch and jump on the geysers. After that room, you'll be at a waterfall where boulders come from. Walk into the water (with Iron Boots) and fall down in the hole to the right.

35. Get the boss key in the room nearby. Go back to the main room.

36. Go to the north side of the main room and Longshot onto the target nearby. Enter through the door.

37. The next room may seem hard. It is easy to get to the door though. Just run up avoiding the spikes (this may require timing) without stopping or changing direction. If you were successful, you will be next to the boss door.

38. Morpha is very easy to beat. Since you have the Longshot, you can get him so far away he can't attack you. Just Z-Target the little ball in one of the tentacles. Pull it towards you with the Longshot and then hit it with your sword. Repeat the process until dead.

There, you just beat the Water Temple, the longest temple in the game. And yet, Zora’s Domain does not melt. So basically, you did all this crap for nothing because nobody was saved or anything. Don’t you feel stupid. (not true, Andrew, Lake Hylia filled up so HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!) Dave
