The Super Bomb


Upon completion of the Misery Mire dungeon the Bomb Shop in Dark Hyrule has a very special bomb on sale for 100 Rupees. If you don't know its location, it is on the exact same spot as your home would be in the normal world.

The Bomb shop offer

Buy one of them and it follows you as you walk. Drop it off with 'A', but if you don't want to detonate it just yet, then touch it again to reset the process. Question is: What can you destroy with a Super Bomb that can't be done with a normal bomb?

Wandering around with a giant bomb

Remember that the 'target' character in the cave to the left of the cemetery told you that there was a wall at the Pyramid of Power which could not be breached by a normal bomb so try it on that wall.

Detonation of the Super Bomb

Gifts of a Hefty Faerie


Inside there is a Mysterious Pond similar to the one found at the Waterfall of Wishing. Throw your bow into the pond and a 'big' Faerie appears. She gives you the Silver Arrows in return which you need to defeat Ganon with. The Faerie also explains that her current shape is due to Ganon's wizardry so she is more than happy to help you out!

She doesn't look much like her relatives...

Silver Arrows
The pond in the Pyramid of Power
As said above throw the bow into the pond inside the Pyramid of Power. In return she upgrades the bow to shoot the sacred silver arrows which can damage Ganon. From now on all the Arrows you find will be silver ones too, just like the icon at the top of the screen.

You got Silver Arrows



Golden Sword
The level 4 Sword
Same as with the previous item, throw the Tempered Sword into the Pond to receive the ultimate sword in return.

You got the Golden Sword


Deals 25% more damage than the Tempered Sword and twice as much as the Master Sword and even 4 times as much as your Uncle's Sword. Now you can hit Buzzbombs without getting electrified! As before the sound of the swing sound even heavier than before.

Usage of the Sword



Medicine of Magic
Another gift from the Giant Faerie
Just like at the Waterfall of Wishing this Faerie refills your empty bottles with Magic Potions too.

More magic medicine



Missing Links...


That's it. There's nothing more to be done in Hyrule. Quickly check whether you have 18 Heart Containers, 3 Pieces of Heart, 1/2 Magic, 4 Bottles, 50 Bombs, 70 Silver Arrows and all other inventory items as the last two dungeon are up ahead. The last remaining Piece of Heart can only be found inside Turtle Rock so don't worry about it.

Path to Turtle Rock


For the final regular dungeon return to the Tower of Hera as you did before. Once you're here go east and use the Magic Hammer to find a new path to the right (you may already visited this path before).

The path east of the Tower of Hera


To the very right you find a strange hexagon shaped rock in the center. Lift the dark green rock in front of it and use the Magic Hammer on the wooden pegs. However take note that you must stomp them in the following order: Left, Center, Right. After doing so a new Teleporter appears.

The secret turtle teleporter


Use it to find yourself on top of Turtle Rock. There's a Quake symbol to your south so use the Quake medallion on it to break the rocks' seal. It then reveals the entrance to the dungeon itself.
