The Lakebed Temple can be frustrating and
confusing since you end up controlling a huge stairway that points in
four different directions (imagine the first Harry Potter movie). But
the map layout is relatively simple and knowing a few tips and tricks
will really help you out!
Swimming in, you will see the shell enemies and some jellyfish guys.
Just swim past them and make your way out of the water. Climb up the
stairs and jump towards the switch to pull it down. Make your way
through the open gate and equip your bomb arrows (Press Z over the bombs
in the item screen). Shoot the giant rocks hanging from the ceiling
(pictured) and
make your way across the platforms.
Continue through the north door to the next room. Kill the Lizard man
here and make your way to the next room. This room (pictured) is the central hub to
the whole dungeon, which you will need to visit several times. Pretty
much you pull one of the eight or so switches, and the ramped stairway
points to you (so you can use it to cross).
Go directly down the stairs so that you're on the north side of the
room, on the bottom floor. Now circle (clockwise) around the room until
you are on the south side of the room. Jump to grab the switch and then
run up the stairs to the north, top floor.
Go around to the west dead-end and smash a jar for Ooccoo your favorite
weird bird. Go to the east of the top floor and grab the switch, to make
your way to the bottom west door. Before you enter the west door, head
to the north of it to grab the dungeon map out of the chest.
Now that you entered the west bottom door of the main room, shoot
another rock hanging from the ceiling to stop a water spout. Head
through a tunnel on the right to goto the lower floor. Go across the
vine covered rock pillar to the west side of it. Shoot another bomb
arrow at the rock on the ceiling. Use the platform you created
(pictured) to get
your first small key.
Take the key back to the main staircase hub.
Make your way to the top floor of the west side and go through it with
the key. Go through the small hallway to enter another room. Bomb arrow
two rocks on the ceiling and climb on the ivy. (pictured)
Drop onto the wall and jump to the
switch to open the gate. Continue to go around to the northwest and blow
up the rock ahead of you. Enter the door to the west after killing some
lizards with iron masks.
In the next room an enemy will enter a bubble of water and try to attack
you. Blow up his bubble with a bomb and kill him. Go out the
southeastern door.
