Chapter 14 takes you back and forth through time on the way to the Fire Temple. Sheik teaches you the Prelude of Light, you'll win a Bigger Quiver, get the Goron Tunic from Link the Goron and learn the Bolero of Fire.
This chapter also covers 5 Gold Skulltulas and 4 Heart Pieces. Everything is in the same order as our video.
Before you set off, make sure you have at least 130 Rupees, some Bombs, a Bug in a Bottle and a spare Magic Bean. If you planted all of your beans in Chapter 11, buy another one from the Bean Seller on Zora River as child Link. You'll also need the Scarecrow's Song from Chapter 12.
Hyrule Field as Adult Link
Read the Fairy Markings
Before heading to the Fire Temple, we are going to get a few things on the way.
Get on Epona and ride to the west end of Hyrule Field, towards the entrance of Gerudo Valley. There's a cave in the red cliffs with a treasure chest and a fairy marking on the wall inside. Check the marking and Navi reads the fairy's memory, telling you to go ahead and take what's in the chest. If you interact with the chest it will be empty, but this step in necessary to get a Heart Piece a little bit later. Leave for now, we come back for it as child Link.
Ride past the entrance to Hyrule Castle Town. Just across the river, there's a tree with a second fairy marking on its trunk. This marking is going to be the Password we need for another Heart Piece when we return as Kid Link, you need to actually interact with the marking to be able to use the Password.
Back to Child Link
The Prelude of Light
Cross the bridge into what's left of Castle Town and go into the Temple of Time. Walk up to the Pedestal of Time and Sheik appears. She says there are still sages who haven't reached their time of awakening, and teaches you the Prelude of Light (X, A, X, A, Y, X), which warps you back to the Temple of Time from anywhere. He tells you to go to the temples and awaken each of the sages, then leaves. The Awakening the Five Sages event is updated in your Threads of Time.
Put the Master Sword back in the pedestal to become child Link.
Hyrule Castle Gold Skulltula
Go to Hyrule Castle at night. Climb the vines, go through the gardens and climb the second set of vines on the castle wall. Then drop into the moat and swim under the little bridge. On the ledge beside a tree there's a flower spot, and your Echo Gem reacts here. Stand on it and play the Song of Storms (L, R, X, L, R, X) to open a hole. Drop in, Bomb the cracked wall inside, then defeat the Gold Skulltula behind it with the Boomerang and pull in the token.
Heart Piece, Hyrule Field Business Scrub
Go back through Castle Town and out to Hyrule Field. Keep the town's outer wall on your left and follow it along the river until you find a breakable stone floor on the ground. Put a Bomb on it to open a hole and drop in.
Inside is a Business Scrub who wants a password. The fairy marking on the tree told you which two are wrong, so pick "Sell somethin', will ya?". He'll then sell you a Piece of Heart for 100 Rupees.
(You will only get the option to select this password if you actually read the fairy marking on the tree as an adult).
Heart Piece, Red Rock Cave
Head back to the west end of Hyrule Field and into the same red rock cave near Gerudo Valley with the first fairy marking. As child Link, open the treasure chest for a Piece of Heart.
(You need to have read the fairy marking and the empty chest as an adult for this chest to actually contain the Heart Piece when you return as kid Link).
Defeat the Grotto Skulltula
Run to the small pond in the south of Hyrule Field. On the far side there's a rock covering a Grotto. Bomb it and drop into the hole.
There's a regular Skulltula on the wall inside. Defeat it with the Boomerang. Check the fairy marking down here too, its memory is about a shiny golden bug and something on the wall being too scary. There's no Gold Skulltula yet, and your Echo Gem stays quiet, so you'll come back here as adult Link.
But make sure that you defeat the regular Skulltula and read the fairy marking here for now, if not the Gold Skulltula won't appear later.
Adult Link Again
Turn Back to Adult Link
Play the Prelude of Light to warp to the Temple of Time, and pull out the Master Sword to become adult Link.
Hyrule Field Grotto Gold Skulltula
Ride back to the pond in the south of Hyrule Field and drop into the same hole. This time your Echo Gem reacts. Walk to the back of the grotto, defeat the Gold Skulltula with your sword and pick up the token.
Bigger Quiver
Ride to Kakariko Village and go into the Shooting Gallery, the owner has moved here from Hyrule Castle Town. It costs 30 Rupees to play, and you get 15 shots to break the 10 targets. Break all 10 and he gives you a Bigger Quiver, which holds 40 arrows.
Heart Piece, House of Skulltula
Go to the House of Skulltula and talk to the Cursed Rich Man. With 50 tokens or more (which you should now have 55), he gives you a Piece of Heart.
Death Mountain
Dodongo Cavern Gold Skulltula
Go up Death Mountain Trail and into Dodongo Cavern. In the Main Hall, take the passage on the right, to where the Baby Dodongos are. In the middle the passage, play the Scarecrow's Song (ours was A, X, A, X, A, X) and Pierre appears up high. Hookshot to him to reach a small alcove, then defeat the Gold Skulltula inside and pick up the token.
Goron City Grotto
Leave the cavern and head up Death Mountain Trail. Right beside the entrance to Goron City there's a flower spot on the ground. Stand on it and play the Song of Storms to open a hole.
The grotto below is full of Baby Dodongos and Rupees. Collect them, then leave by the flower.
Goron City Gold Skulltula
Enter Goron City. Most of the Gorons are gone, and a single Goron rolls past, which adds the Disaster in Goron City event to your Threads of Time. It need it to be night here, so play the Sun's Song (A, R, X, A, R, X) if it's daytime, and your Echo Gem starts reacting. Follow the walkway on the top floor round to the rock ledge facing the big rock that hangs over the middle of the city. The Gold Skulltula is on the underside of it. Hookshot it, then Hookshot the token to pull it in.
Goron Tunic
The rolling Goron shouts that he won't wait for you. This is Link, named after you. Take out a Bomb and set it down in his path to stop him.
He tells you the Gorons were taken away and the evil dragon Volvagia has been brought back, then bursts into tears. Navi suggests talking to him, so pick "I'll help you!". He gives you the Goron Tunic, which lets you tolerate really hot temperatures.
Fire Temple Shortcut
Link tells you there's a secret shortcut behind the forebrother statue in Darunia's room, and opens the way. Go to Darunia's chamber on the lowest floor and pull the statue at the back to reveal the passage into Death Mountain Crater.
Put on the Goron Tunic as soon as you arrive to avoid taking damage due to the heat. Walk across to the broken bridge and Hookshot to the target on the far side.
The Bolero of Fire
On the other side of the broken bridge, Sheik appears. She teaches you the Bolero of Fire (R, L, R, L, A, R, A, R), which warps you back to the crater, at the entrance to the Fire Temple at any time, then vanishes.
Death Mountain Crater as Child Link
Crater Soft Soil Gold Skulltula
Before heading inside the Fire Temple, play the Prelude of Light to teleport to the Temple of Time and put the Master Sword back to become child Link. Then play the Bolero of Fire to warp to the crater. There's a Soft Soil Spot right next to the warp pad. Release a Bug on it to make a Gold Skulltula appear, defeat it and pick up the token. Child Link has no Goron Tunic, so the heat drains your hearts, be quick.
Heart Piece, Crater Magic Bean
While you're standing there, plant a Magic Bean in the same Soft Soil Spot.
Play the Prelude of Light, pull out the Master Sword to become adult Link, then play the Bolero of Fire to come back. The bean has grown into a leaf plant next to the warp pad. Step onto it and ride it up to the Piece of Heart.
Enter the Fire Temple
From the warp pad, walk into the Fire Temple. Navi reminds you that you have to find Darunia.
The crater wall Heart Piece and the one sold by the Deku Scrub are covered in Chapter 8. The crater also has a Great Fairy who gives Double Magic once you have the Megaton Hammer (Chapter 15).
