Tower of the Gods

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker guide · Third dungeon

Link navigates a sunken divine trial using the King of Red Lions to traverse shifting water levels on the lower floor. Inside, he acquires the Hero's Bow and guides mystical statues to unlock the upper levels and face the trial's guardian. Ringing the bell at the pinnacle of the tower reveals the path to the sunken realm of ancient Hyrule.

Tips

When the water level recedes on the first floor, you can pick up nearby pots and sticks to carry fire over to unlit wall torches.
Use the Command Melody to take direct control of the stone Servants of the Tower and navigate them across floor switches.
If you run out of arrows or bombs during the boss battle with Gohdan, the boss will sneeze pickups onto the platform.
