The Shadow Temple is one of the many dungeons in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake that you take on after you've traveled into the future. In this dungeon, you'll need to question what is real and what is fake, as your eyes will deceive you. There are hidden traps, fake walls, and invisible enemies lurking about.
However, they might be the least of your worries, as even the floor isn't safe. Luckily, you'll find the Hover Boots to keep your mind at ease. Here's how to complete the Shadow Temple dungeon in Ocarina of Time remake.
Before you start, you'll need to get the Lenses of Truth from the Bottom of the Well and Din's Fire from the Great Fairy Fountain at the top of Death Mountain. If you're trying to grab every Gold Skulltula, you'll also need the Scarecrow Song from Lake Hylia. Use the Lenses of Truth at the entrance to see a ring of unlit torches.
Stand on the platform in the middle, and use Din's Fire to light every torch. Head inside the Shadow Temple, but be careful of the Flying Pots in the first hallway. Longshot to the target, and walk through the fake wall in front of you.
Just inside the next room, you'll find a vulture statue that is surrounded by podiums with skulls on them. The plaque on the statue reads, "The tip of my beak seeks the skull of truth. Should it find falsehood, darkness shall fall." So, you need to use the Lenses of Truth to find the skull of truth, and rotate the vulture statue so that its beak is pointing at it.
When you use the Lenses of Truth, only one podium will have a skull. Rotate the beak so it's pointing at the statue, and a door on the other side of the room will open. Now, if you look at the door, you'll notice that there's a huge pit in front of it, and it's real.
