Tutorial world. Learn Totem stacking (stack all 4 Links for tall structures) and Force Gem collection basics.

Boss — Big Manhandla: Big Manhandla has 5 heads on extendable necks. Use bombs to stagger the heads and slash each one. When 3 heads are gone, she charges across the room — avoid the extended necks and hit the main body from behind.

Introduces water navigation and ice mechanics. Bombs reveal hidden Force Gem caches under ice sheets.

Boss — Big Moldorm: Big Moldorm's tail glows when vulnerable. Position all 4 Links to attack simultaneously — the tail can only be struck from behind during the vulnerability window. When Moldorm thrashes after a hit, all Links must dodge outward from the center.

Vertical climbing with bomb puzzles. Rolling boulders must be bombed before they crush Links below.

Boss — Big Dodongo: Big Dodongo must be fed bombs — throw them into the open mouth with all 4 Links throwing simultaneously for maximum damage efficiency. After 2 bombs, he spins — center all Links in the room to minimize exposure. 3 bomb cycles.

Introduces Shadow Links. These doppelgangers steal Force Gems — prioritize killing them over enemy mobs.

Boss — Big Dark Stalfos: Dark Stalfos teleports around the arena and throws energy blades. Use the Totem formation to attack from above when he materializes. He's immune to ground-level attacks in phase 2 — stack all 4 Links and attack from the height of the top Link.

Dark maze with Phantom patrols. Avoid detection or lose Force Gems to Phantom confiscation.

Boss — Phantom Ganon: Phantom Ganon fires energy balls in patterns. Unlike the original game, all 4 Links must reflect balls simultaneously to stagger him. Spread the Links around the arena in a diamond formation to ensure full coverage of ball trajectories.

Final gauntlet requiring all Four Sword skills. Wind currents push Links — time movement between gusts.

Boss — Vaati (3 phases): Vaati Phase 1: Split into 4 Links around him and attack simultaneously — lone attackers are deflected. Phase 2: He creates 4 elemental orbs (fire/ice/thunder/shadow) — each Link must attack the orb of matching color assigned by position. Phase 3: Use the Four Sword's combined power charge (all 4 Links hold attack simultaneously) to deal the final blow.

Unlocks after collecting enough Force Gems across all 6 worlds. Contains the game's hardest puzzles and fights.

Boss — Shadow Link + Vaati Final: Shadow Link perfectly mirrors one player's movements. Designate one Link as decoy and the other three as attackers — the decoy draws Shadow Link's attention while the others strike. Vaati Final is identical to Tower of Winds Phase 3 but with a tighter time window for the combined charge attack.
