All Monsters with Images and Locations · Access · Boss Rematch · Battle Streaks and Rewards
Unlock the Hall of Fallen Foes
Defeat Phantom Ganon, receive the Forest Medallion, and return to the Temple of Time . Learn the Prelude of Light from Sheik. The green beds then grant access to the hall. One suitable bed is upstairs in the large house in southern Kakariko Village. Other entrances are in Link’s house in Kokiri Forest and the house beside the Lakeside Laboratory at Lake Hylia.
Examine the bed and choose the dream or the visit to the Hall of Fallen Foes. Adult Link can also enter this way. If you go from the plains to Kakariko Village as a child, Kaepora Gaebora will explain the entrance to you. In the hall, speak to the owl in the center again to leave. You will then wake up at the bed you used.
Examine monster statues and find missing enemies.
Defeated monsters add to the collection. Go to a statue and examine it: The entry lists the enemy, its typical locations, and helpful items. Rotate the model to take a closer look. Speak with Kaepora Gaebora about your collection if you want to know if any monsters are missing.
If you encounter a gap in the information, first use the location listed in the entry and then combine your search with a relevant section of our walkthrough . It’s especially worthwhile to take a close look at the statues of enemies with multiple appearances. For Gold Skulltulas, you can also refer to our Locations of All Symbols .
Re-fight individual bosses and minibosses
The statues of the stronger enemies are located at the outer edge. At an available statue, select Rematch to repeat the fight. This includes the final bosses and selected minibosses, such as Big Octo, the Flare Dancer, Dark Link, and the Dead Hand. The timer saves your successful run for the next record attempt.
For the rematch, you’ll receive specific equipment and a predetermined number of hearts. For example, Gohma’s one-on-one fight starts with three hearts. Therefore, check your equipped items before the first attack. Used ammunition, potions, and injuries do not affect your total during the actual adventure. If you wish to abort an attempt, speak to Navi or Navi .
For practice, a clear objective is recommended: First, recognize the attack signal, dodge, and then use the opening. Only once you’ve mastered the sequence should you try to shorten the distances between hits. You can find the individual tactics in our guide to bosses and final bosses .
The three rematch series and their rewards
Examine one of the owl statues to start a chain. Each leads through a fixed sequence of boss fights. The following information applies to the normal game state:
| Streak | Order | Start and Unlock | First Win |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trial of the Three Spiritual Stones | Gohma → King Dodongo → Barinade | 3 Hearts; At the entrance to the Monster Hall | Stone Owl Statue |
| Trial of the Five Sages | Phantom Ganon → Volvagia → Morpha → Bongo Bongo → Twinrova | 6 Hearts; After the five temple bosses | Silver Owl Statue |
| Trial of the Hero of Time | The eight bosses of the other two series, then Ganondorf and Ganon | 6 hearts; After completing the storyline | Golden Owl Statue |
After completing the first series, Kaepora sends Gaebora the corresponding trophy. Link’s house in Kokiri Forest Leave the dream and look on the shelf there. Each of the three series yields its own statue.
Resting Places, Rupees, and Healing in the Battle Series
Between battles, you will reach a resting place . The timer pauses there. First, open the chest containing 200 Rupees and then speak to the Business Scrubs. Your remaining heart supply will carry over to the next battle; therefore, plan your purchases before proceeding.
Red and green elixir each cost 100 Rupees Three individual hearts 30 Rupees . A Heart Container increases and replenishes your heart supply within the passage. Its price increases over the course of the series from 200 to up to 400 Rupees . Later rest stops offer additional equipment, including the Longshot for 50 Rupees, Nayru’s Love for 300 Rupees, and the Biggoron Sword for 1,000 Rupees.
Before each purchase, compare your current health with the next opponent’s. With low health, healing is the more reliable choice; if you’re confidently winning battles, you can save Rupees for a later weapon. Only start the next battle when your required items are assigned to the desired buttons. A loss ends the streak and resets you to the beginning for the next attempt.
You can find the paths to the original battles in our OOT walkthrough for Switch 2 . The first entries are: Great Deku Tree with Gohma , Dodongo Cavern , and Lord Jabu-Jabu .
