After the temple: Fire Arrows

Lake Hylia

  1. After clearing the Water Temple, stand on the lake’s central island and face east. Wait for the rising sun to line up with the small eastern island, then shoot an arrow at the sun.
  2. A scene shows Fire Arrows landing on the small island; swim over and collect them. They consume magic: without enough magic, the bow fires a normal arrow instead.
