more puppets as it warps around the room. The basic plan of attack here is to wait for him to
summon enemies, kill as many of them as possible with your B-button attack, then quickly track
down the puppetmaster. When you get close to him, wait for him to start playing his trumpet to
summon in more puppets, then quickly lock onto him and use your A button to attack; you’ll need
the leaping attack to get up onto the pedestals that he likes to stand on.
Things will get a little hectic, since he’ll start to summon in more and more puppets as time goes
on. Also note that if you attempt to attack him when he’s not playing the horn, he’ll simply warp
away to another pedestal; be sure to only hit him when he’s playing. After a bit of trial and error,
you’ll hit him three times and be able to move on.
The Sentries
When you arrive at the entrance to the Master Sword’s location, you’ll be required to solve a little
puzzle before you’re admitted inside. The two sentries here require you to place them back on
their starting points at the same time; they’ll jump around at the same time that you jump from
block to block, so you have to jump yourself and attempt to get the sentries into position. They
move in opposite directions, though, so getting them into place is somewhat difficult. In order to
get them both up to the top of the screen, you’ll have to trap one of them so that it has no place
to jump to.
If you don’t want to go through the motions of solving the puzzle on your own, try this solution:
left, down, right, right, up, left, up, up, left, down, down, up, up, right, down. That should get you
past the sentries, and let you obtain the Master Sword.
Before you leave the area, head back to where you fought the puppetmaster. There’s a large rock
in the center of that little arena. Smash it, then talk to Midna to switch to wolf mode. You can kill
the Poe if you like, but more importantly, you can dig into the hole underneath the rock (after
using your Senses) to work your way into the small chamber there. If you kill every enemy in the
room, a chest containing a Piece of Heart will appear.
Back to Castle Town
Now that you have the ability to clawshot, as well as warp from human to wolf form at will, some
new areas will be available to you. If you warp back to the Lake Hylia spring where you first
confronted Zant, for instance, you can clawshot to some vines and climb up to a hidden door in
the rear of the spring. Light both of the lanterns here to cause a chest with a Piece of Heart to
appear.
