Death Mountain (Magic Meter & Sword Spin Attack)
Items needed: Hylian Shield, Slingshot, Bombs
You can get here asChild Link. Walk up Death Mountain Trail and take follow the incline to the left of the red flag. Blow up the rocks obstructing your path. To blow up the rock on the other side of the gap, you will need to time the bomb's explosion so that when you throw it, it will detonate right next to the boulder (bombs have about a five second fuse). Continue up the path until the volcano starts erupting. Make sure you have your Hylian Shield equipped and press "R" to duck down; the shield will protect you. Once the rocks stop hitting your shield, you'll have a few seconds to run towards the top of the mountain, before the volcanoe erupts again. Once you get to the end of the canyon, kill the Skulltula on the wall with your Slingshot and climb up to the platform above. Kill the two remaining Skulltulas, and climb your way up to the top. Once you get to the top, place a bomb next to the cracked wall. Enter, stand on the Triforce symbol and play Zelda's Lullaby. The Great Fairy will give you the Magic Meter, as well as an upgraded spin attack.
