ZELDA Buy now Dungeons and temples
Every temple stays on this one page. Follow a dungeon name to its walkthrough chapter for the entry requirements, item and boss. The walkthrough uses the same order.
Order
Child dungeons come first: the Deku Tree, Dodongo’s Cavern, Lord Jabu-Jabu. Adult temples follow the Forest, Fire, Water, Shadow, and Spirit temples, then the castle. The item column is the prize the dungeon is known for. The boss column is the fight at the end.
Remake notes stay empty unless the record has one. IGN’s comment about fewer small keys in the Water Temple is on the walkthrough page, and I am not pasting it into every row.
| 1st (child) | Inside the Deku Tree | Fairy Slingshot | Queen Gohma | |
| 2nd (child) | Dodongo's Cavern | Bombs (Bomb Bag) | King Dodongo | |
| 3rd (child) | Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly | Boomerang | Barinade | |

Questions
Are there new temples?
A French search asks about new temples. The dungeon list I have is the classic set. I have no sourced extra temple name, so I am not adding one.
Which page explains the route?
The walkthrough, with the same table and a note on the 10 percent estimate.
Where is the Water Temple?
In this table, in adult order. Key-count changes are only the IGN remark on the walkthrough.
