Before you start

The Wii world is mirrored relative to GameCube and HD. Never transfer left/right directions unchecked between versions. HD adds convenience and amiibo content.

Maps need a visible version selector: Wii directions do not automatically match the unmirrored GameCube/HD world.

Main route & dungeon order

An ordered progression route. Use the stated coverage to distinguish this overview from a room-by-room solution.

1. 01

   Stage 1

   After Ordon and the wolf introduction, restore Faron’s light. Forest Temple, Goron Mines and Lakebed Temple provide the first three Fused Shadows and tools including boomerang, bow and clawshot.

2. 02

   Stage 2

   After saving Midna, find the Master Sword in the Sacred Grove. This later enables human/wolf transformation. Gerudo Desert leads to Arbiter’s Grounds and the first Mirror of Twilight fragment.

3. 03

   Stage 3

   The other mirror fragments are in Snowpeak Ruins, Temple of Time and City in the Sky. Ball and Chain, Dominion Rod and Double Clawshots resolve their central puzzles; the sky-cannon quest connects these stages.

4. 04

   Stage 4

   The repaired mirror opens Palace of Twilight. After Zant, Hyrule Castle contains multiple Ganondorf phases: possessed Zelda, beast, horseback and sword duel. Bring healing and ammunition before setting out.
