Woodfall Temple

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask guide · After learning the Sonata of Awakening

After playing the Sonata of Awakening to raise the temple from the poisoned swamp, Link must navigate this wooden dungeon using Deku Flower glides and torch-lighting puzzles. Deep within, he will acquire the Hero's Bow and defeat the corrupted jungle warrior to cleanse the swamp waters. Link will also rescue the kidnapped Deku Princess and can choose to gather fifteen hidden Stray Fairies to receive an upgrade outside the temple.

Tips

Equip the Great Fairy's Mask when entering rooms to attract Stray Fairies trapped in bubbles directly to Link without needing to walk to them.
Carry a Deku Stick through lit torches to ignite unlit torches before the stick burns out.
Shoot an arrow through an unlit torch while standing behind a lit torch to light the unlit one from a distance.
Bring an empty bottle to Odolwa's inner chamber so Link can scoop up the Deku Princess to carry her back to the Deku Palace.
