Getting to Wind Fish's Egg

Entering Wind Fish's Egg

Estimated Time: 1:14:45 - 1:16:51

Upon exiting, play Manbo's Mambo and warp to Dampe's Shack. From the warp point, dash west, through the narrow path blocked with boulders, then east. Climb up the first ladder that you will see.

Continue heading north to Mt. Tamaranch until you reach the egg. Equip the ocarina and select the Ballad of the Wind Fish then play it in front of the egg. This will make a crack on the egg open so step inside the Wind Fish's Egg.

Defeating Shadow Nightmare

Estimated Time: 1:16:51 - 1:19:52

Head north upon entering and jump into the abyss. From the room you landed on, go up, four rooms right, up, two rooms left, then up. You will end up in a room with a circular void in the center.

Jump in it for the final boss, Shadow Nightmare.

Form 1: Giant Zol

Use Magic Powder on him three times and he will transform to his next form.

Form 2: Agahnim's Shadow

This form will warp around the room and shoot one of two types of projectiles at you. You can reflect the red projectiles with your sword but you should dodge the blue projectiles as they cannot be reflected. He will always start with a red projectile so be ready to reflect it back.

The easiest way is to use jump attacks to reflect the projectiles after his first attack. This way, you are dodging and attacking at the same time. He will transform again after four reflected projectiles.

Form 3: Moldorm

Prepare a spin attack as soon as he transforms to this form. Wait until he has transformed completely to Moldorm before hitting him with your spin attack. After it hits, he will spin around so use this chance to unleash another spin attack. After the third spin attack, you can just slash him with your sword and he will transform again.

Form 4: Shadow of Ganon

Immediately prepare a properly positioned spin attack this time and release it as soon as this form appears. Do it again quickly and after the second spin attack, quickly dash through him and he should transform again.

Form 5: Lanmola

He will transform into Lanmola on where he was in his last form so prepare a spin attack and unleash it on him as soon as he reappears. Continue using spin attacks while staying on the center of the room. After defeating this form, he transforms into his final form.

Form 6: Dethl

Equip the Roc's Feather and bow for this battle. Jump when his arms are about to hit you but stay on the center so you can easily attack him. When he fully opens his eye, shoot it twice. Repeat these steps regardless of how fast his arms move.

After defeating his final form, ascend the stairs that will appear for the final cutscene. Congratulations!
