In the room with the Ghinis, exit to the east and use the rotating device to go north. Step on the switch to the left to create a shortcut. Exit to the north.

Kill the Stalfos that is holding the key, then get the key.

Open the chest to get the Power Glove. It allows you to pick up the large sarcophagi that you have seen in the Ancient Tomb and outside of it. You can still use it to pick up smaller objects as well.

Get a Gasha Seed

Go north, then kill any Ropes in the Beamos room to open the west door. Go through.

Use the rotating device, which should make you go north. In the next room, go west. You reach the other rotating device. Get into it, then use the stairs to enter it from the left. Use the stairs again to enter it from the left, and this time you can go south to the next room.

Go east from the stairs, and you will reach the other rotating device again. It will make you go north. Follow the path to the other rotating device again, which makes you go south. Follow the path to the other rotating device again and it should make you go south this time.

Go west. The blocks to the north should be up. (If they are down, go east, then north on the ledge, and hit the crystal switch, then go south, then west, where the blocks to the north should now be up.) Use the northwest exit. Go up the stairs and exit west, then use the Power Glove on the sarcophagus that is blocking the chest. It contains a Gasha Seed.

Go east. Go up to the north part of the room and use the Long Hook on the stone diamond across the gap to go to the right side, and exit east. Go north, then use the Long Hook on the stone diamond on the ledge on the left. Go west, then down the short flight of stairs, then east to where the rotating device is.

Follow the path until you reach some stairs in the northwest corner of the room. Go down.

Go east from this room until you reach the mini-boss: Blue Stalfos.

Blue Stalfos

Hit the round orbs of energy back at Blue Stalfos to turn it into a bat. Then hit the bat repeatedly with your sword. Avoid the pointy energy balls, because they explode into smaller pieces that will hurt you if they hit you. You can't knock the pointy ones back. If a round energy orb hits you, you turn into a crawling baby for a while and can't use items, and you have to wait until you transform back to normal.

Get a Fifth Key

Go south from where you fought the Blue Stalfos, then go west. You reach a room with five blocks. Go west. Use the Long Hook on the stone diamond, then go north. Be careful of the Green Zols to the left and exit west.

Open the chest on the pedestal to receive the first Slate. Exit to the southeast.

Get the Second Slate

Drop down and exit east. Follow the path back to the room with the five blocks, and exit to the south.

Go west from the room with the pedestal and slots, then south. Unlock the key block and go west, then south. In this second lava room, there are no pots and no key block. Make sure you're in the second lava room, then pull the wall handle to make the lava disappear, then run to the right and exit east. Open the chest to get the second slate.

Get the Boss Key

Go to the northeast corner of the room and exit north. Then go east and jump off the ledge. Pick up the bottom left sarcophagus and go down the stairs.

Push the bottom block left, then push the block above you up. Use the Long Hook on the stone diamond above you to reach the chest. Open it to get the boss key.

Get Another Gasha Seed

Use the Long Hook on a lower stone diamond to go back to the lower part of the room. Go east, then find the stairs in the northeast corner of the room. Go up.

Push the block all the way down, then left. This should unlock the gate. Jump over the gap to reach the mine cart and walk into it.

Avoid the tiles in this room and open the chest to get a Gasha Seed.

Get the Third Slate

After you get the Gasha Seed, wait for the tiles to all be gone, then exit south. Avoid and jump over the spinning blade traps, then press the switch in the top right of the room. This will move the wall. Exit east.

The ice floor in this room is slippery. Kill the Ball and Chain Knight, then exit north. Open the chest to get the third slate.

Get the Fourth Slate

Use the mine cart to exit west, then use the next mine cart to exit west again.

Exit north, then use Ember Seeds on the Candleheads to kill them. Go through the east door that opens.

Get past the Gibdos, then go to the north wall of this room and down the stairs.

In the room where you end up, kill the Barinades to open the northwest door. Go through. Go north again, then go to the right side of the room and swim around the currents to exit south. Avoid getting pulled into the pits.

In the next room, swim against the current to use the upper east exit. In the next room, be careful of the currents and swim to the northeast corner of the room. Go down the stairs.

Swim west and go up the hole on the left side of the room. Step on the switch to create a shortcut. Then go back down the stairs. Now swim east to the bottom-right corner of the room and exit east, then swim up the hole on the right. Get the slate from the chest.

Reach the Boss

Go back down the stairs. Swim west, then go to the west side of the room and go up the hole there. Exit west, then south, and push on the holes in the pedestal to put the slates into each slot, then go down the stairs that appear.

Go down the ladder and jump to the right side of the room to go down the ladder there.

Go east. Break the crystal with your sword, then bomb the cracked block, then shoot an ember seed at the torch to make a bridge appear. Use the Power Glove to pick up the sarcophagus. Go through the boss door.

Ramrock

First Phase

In the first phase of battle, Ramrock will throw its fists at you. Stay relatively close to Ramrock, and use your sword to knock the fists into Ramrock's body while avoiding getting hit by the fists. You can hit them at an angle. After you hit Ramrock three times with his fists, the battle will go into the next phase.

Second Phase

Ramrock will fly around smashing his hands together. Run to the north side of the room to lure Ramrock that way, then when he stops, go to the south wall. Wait for Ramrock to stop again and then quickly stand in front of him and throw a bomb between his hands, then repeat the process of luring it to the top of the room and then going down to throw the bomb from below. After you make three bombs explode on him, he goes into the third form.

Third Phase

Ramrock will stay in the north part of the room, moving from side to side. Occasionally he will shoot lasers from his eyes and throw energy balls at you. Stay relatively close to Ramrock, then shoot a seed at the back wall when Ramrock is coming toward you. If you time it correctly, you should be able to hit Ramrock from behind by bouncing seeds off of the back wall. After about four hits with seeds, he goes into the fourth and final phase.

Fourth Phase

Ramrock's hands will be replaced with ball and chains. Avoid them when Ramrock throws them at you. When he throws one at you, run up to the one that he did not throw, and use the Power Glove to pick it up and pull it toward the south wall until it stops, then let go of it. It will spring back and hit Ramrock. After you hit him three times this way, he will die.

Get the Essence

Go west and get the final essence. Afterward, the Maku Tree will say that she can create something to help you, and will ask you to visit her in the present.

Get the Blue Ring

Before you leave the Ancient Tomb area, drop down to the lower level, then go east, south, west, then use the southeast exit. Pick up the sarcophagus to find a chest that contains a ring. This is the Blue Ring, which reduces all damage by 1/2. It's one of the best rings in the game!

Visit the Maku Tree

Use a Gale Seed to go to any of the warp points in the past. Then use the Tune of Ages to go to the present, and use a Gale Seed to go to South Lynna. Visit the Maku Tree in the present to receive the Huge Maku Seed. There will be a cutscene. In a Linked Game, there is an additional cutscene.

If you are playing a Linked Game, you can optionally go into the Hero's Cave, which is one screen south from the Maku Tree, on the right. If you complete it, you get the L-3 Armor Ring, which reduces the sword damage you inflict, but also reduces the damage that you take from enemies.

Your next step is to go to the Black Tower and fight Veran.
