Guides / The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Lake Hylia
Upon arriving at Lake Hylia during the twilight search for the Zoras, Wolf Link finds the lakebed completely drained of water and shrouded in Twilight. Link must navigate the dry basin, defeat a Shadow Bulblin shooting fire arrows to ride a Kargarok up Zora's River, and ultimately locate the frozen Zora domain. Later, Link returns here after unfreezing Zora's Domain to collect Tears of Light and restore the Light Spirit Lanayru.
Enemies
Mounted archers that shoot fire arrows at Wolf Link in the dry lakebed.
A large twilight bird summoned by a Shadow Bulblin; defeating the rider allows Link to tame the bird to fly up the river.
Twilight creatures that drop down in barriers; must be grouped together and finished with a circle attack.
Invisible twilight bugs that hold the Tears of Light needed to restore the Lanayru Province.
Tips
- Use Wolf Link's senses constantly when navigating the dried basin and Lanayru Spring to spot tears, bugs, and digging spots buried in the sand.
- When fighting Shadow Beast portals alone, take out all but the last two or three individually, then defeat the remaining ones in one spin or charge attack to prevent them from reviving.
