1. Find the trail
North of the Sanctuary, lift the stone blocking access to the mountain cave. Enter with your lantern.
2. Guide the old man
In the cave, accompany the old man to the exit. Avoid the holes and stay on the passable path.
3. Receive the Mirror
The old man gives you the Magic Mirror. Its refuge also allows you to recover life.
4. Reach the plateau
Climb up the ladders and paths outside. Watch out for rocks rolling down the slope.
5. Pass into Darkness
Step onto the warp tile near Spectacle Rock. Without the Moon Pearl, Link becomes a rabbit. This is expected at this point.
6. Return to the right place
Use the Mirror on the location of the rock. Take the Piece of Heart, then go down to the Tower of Hera.
