Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Walkthrough
The second of Nintendo’s epic Zelda games on Wii, Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword uses the full power of the Wii MotionPlus to bring you 1-to-1 sword swinging. Attack with your left or right hand, horizontally, vertically, or diagonally to break through enemy guard or make precision swings to solve all new types of puzzles. Set just before Ocarina of Time, Skyward Sword tries to connect to the larger Legend of Zelda mythos to tell a more cinematic story. Not that the story matters when you’re stuck in Skyward Sword’s massive world-spanning dungeon — and that’s why the Game Front walkthrough team is here to help you survive.

When you uncover a purple switch on the floor, stand on it to unseal the passageway on the balcony above for a limited amount of time. Once the entryway above is temporarily unlocked, sprint up the tall staircase against the wall and open the balcony door before it has a chance to re-seal.
Move into the next room ahead, then use the Bellows to blow away the large dirt mound in front of you and uncover a mine cart with bizarre cargo. Approach the strange-looking discovery, then strike the purple stone inside of it with your sword to unleash an explosion of color.
You can follow the mine cart when it pulls away from the platform this time and cross the series of panels that now appear beneath the connecting track being used. When you reach the next ledge across the gap, allow the circular beacon of color-producing magic to fall across the entire area and for the mine cart to be stopped just outside the doorway by the power-crazed gatekeeper.
Use your shield to deflect the enemy’s attacks back at him until he falls in defeat from the upper half of the of the entryway. Fire the the Gust Bellow at the symbol above to send the mine cart on its way, then immediately retune to chasing closely behind it by using the ever-appearing system of floating floor tiles
Continue behind the unmanned cart filled with strange cargo and eliminate the robotic enemy that suddenly appears to block the track ahead, then continue forward towards the ledge in the distance. Stay in close physical contact with the mine car during the home stretch of the journey due to the severe reduction in floor tiles that appear below you.
Escort the cart to the outside edge of the final platform, then pull down the industrial switch that borders the ledge on the right to complete the mine cart’s final arrival into the area. Exit the main platform by using an adjacent bridge that leads away from the party and towards a large pile of sand.
Uncover a mine car beneath the largest mound of sand ahead, then approach it and strike the purple stone inside to unleash a color explosion. Follow behind the nearby cart as it pulls away from the platform to cross an extensive gap, then move to its left side when passing in front of the first ledge to take cover from the statue that shoots laser beams.
Continue moving in cover until the statue ceases fire, then proceed to the next platform ahead and pull down on the industrial switch to accommodate the cart as well. Strike the contents of the nearby mine cart twice to first change the surrounding environment, then change it back to normal.
After the second shift in reality, the mincer will now return the way it arrived by crossing back over the previous gap. Use this opportunity to quickly run out onto the tiles that appear in front of the cart and blast the pinwheel on your left with the Gust Bellow until the next door over is completely unblocked.
Continue forward along the tiles that slowly appear in front of the mine cart and move onto the next ledge to the left, then destroy the robot that rises up and open the door ahead.

Drop over the ledge directly ahead and approach the green-glowing barricade in the area below, then wait for this obstacle to ascend before you move forward beneath it.
Wait for another two glowing-green walls to rise so that you can climb up the ladder behind them, then make a left at the top and use your whip to grab the next branch above. Swing yourself towards the opposite wall to land on the next ledge ahead and wait for the glowing obstacle on the left to rise up.

Climb up the ladder in front of you to reach the next ledge, then move forward and grab the branch above with your whip.
Swing onto the glowing block in front of you when it drops to ground, then move around to the other side and jump to the next one ahead after it descends.

Climb the ladder in the next area to reach the ledge above and pull down on the switch to the left, then enter the room you unblocked ahead to liberate the crew and receive a Small Key. Afterwards, return to the room a few levels above you that has two square-shaped openings in its back wall and climb through the rightmost one to enter another lifeboat.
Point your bow upwards and fire an arrow into the device connecting the suspension chains, then ride the lifeboat as it ascends towards the ship’s upper deck and exit when you reach the top. Send a second arrow into the crystal beneath the crow’s nest above so that the colors are drained from your surroundings again, then turn around and approach the upper deck’s back wall.

After the first batch of tentacles recedes into the floor, turn around and make a left across the room behind you. Enter the hall on your left and back away from of tentacles that crash through the wall, then throw a bomb between these two monstrous appendages and let the explosion clear the corridor ahead.
Move forward and use a blast of light energy to hack through the third tentacle blocking your path, then climb the staircase at the opposite end of the hallway to experience the ship rocking from side to side. On the next floor, move through the corridor to the left and use sidesteps when dodging the barrels rolling towards you.
Continue up the hall until you exit into the open area at its other end, then approach the partially grass-covered area ahead and step back when the tentacles appear. Use bombs or light energy to remove the boss’ arms, then duck under the iron gate at the opposite side of the room and jump the next gap in front of you.
Climb the staircase beside you to raise the water level and open the door at the top of the steps to initiate the next boss battle with a creature known as: Tentalus .
After the cut scene, Tentalus will dive back underwater and attack by thrusting his tentacles up through the ground beneath you. To counter this assault: back away from patches of ground that suddenly pushed upwards into mounds, then use either a blast of light energy or a bomb to sever the tentacles that eventually bursts through these spots.
Continue cutting away the limbs until the monster rises from the water again, then equip your bow and aim it towards the creature’s head. After evading one of Tentalus’ limbs from slamming down on top of you, fire an arrow into the enemy’s single large eyeball that will knock him to the ground.
Approach the fallen sea monster and send additional arrow’s into it’s gaping eye whenever you have a clear shot. Survive another wave of tentacles bursting from the ground below, then use your bow to continue the assault on Tentalus’ vulnerable eyeball.
Outlast additional waves of increasingly difficult tentacle strikes and continue shooting out the enemy’s’ eye whenever possible until a cut scene activates. After Tentalus’ flailing limbs knock a crate off the ledge, approach this fallen object and use it to climb to the top of the area above.
After the monster emerges from the water again, open fire on the creature’s eyeball until he is able to recover by transforming his tentacles into enormous snake monsters.
Use your sword to hack away at these serpent appendages as they lunge forward to strike you, then finish off Tentalus for good via a final assault with your bow and arrows.
