The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess guide · Fifth dungeon
← All areas in this guide

Snowpeak Ruins is a decrepit, snowbound mansion that serves as the fifth dungeon, where Link searches for a shard of the Mirror of Twilight. Guided by the friendly Yetis Yeto and Yeta, Link navigates frozen rooms, uses cannons, and recovers ingredients for a restorative soup. The quest culminates in retrieving the Bedroom Key to access the top floor and confront the boss.
