| ** There is enough invisible stuff in the Shadow Temple to make it practically impossible to do blindly. Invisible Hookshot targets, invisible platforms, invisible bad guys. However, it's easy to remember where the targets and platforms you need are located. And you can Z-target invisible enemies to avoid losing track of them. | | ** There is enough invisible stuff in the Shadow Temple to make it practically impossible to do blindly.

− | ** Bongo Bongo's vulnerable spot - the red eye you need to shoot with an arrow - is invisible. But it's pretty easy to shoot it blindly. Shoot both hands, and Bongo Bongo will clench his fists before racing across the drum towards you. Aim squarely exactly between the two fists - where the boss's invisible body is - and as soon as the fists vanish off the sides of your screen, fire. You'll hit the eye and Bongo Bongo will drop, stunned and now visible, right in front of you. Easy. | + | ** Bongo Bongo's vulnerable spot - the red eye you need to shoot with an arrow - is invisible. But it's pretty easy to shoot it blindly.

| ** The Shadow Barrier portion of Ganon's Castle contains some invisible platforms and tracks in mid-air. You can get away without knowing where these are pretty easily if you have the Hover Boots enabled. Do a double rolling attack off the edge of the first platform - that is, roll off the edge and roll a second time before the Hover Boots cut out, to maximize your distance - to reach the next platform. Do the same again to drop down to the switch on the right, and trigger the Gold Gauntlets chest. Longshot back to it. Hover to the switch on the left and then Longshot to the torch at the exit. By this method, you never end up walking on invisible platforms. Tricky, but doable. If you choose to use Ganon's Tower skip however, this is skipped entirely. | | ** The Shadow Barrier portion of Ganon's Castle contains some invisible platforms and tracks in mid-air.
