In zelda ocarina of time how do you get to the spirit temple?

Answer 1

You need the hover boots (which you get in the shadow temple in Kakariko village) and the lens of truth which you get by playing the song of storms in the windmill in kakariko village as a child. You can learn the song of storms by talking to the man playing the song in the windmill as an adult. When you play the song as a child, it empties the well, opening up a mini dungeon. The lens of truth is your prize for completing that dungeon, and is needed to complete the shadow temple.

When you have both the hover boots and lens of truth, you can cross the desert past the Gerudo Fortress. You need the boots to make it across the sand without sinking in. Follow the flags set up in the desert, and you will come to a building that has a drop leading to a gold skulltula.

On top of this building is a ghost that leads the way to the spirit temple, but you can only see him with the Lena of truth equipped. Equip it, follow the ghost, and taadaa!! You're there! One you're there, don't forget to bomb a crack in the wall between a couple of trees. A great fairy is there, and give's you the Nayru's Love spell, which creates a useful protective shield!

Answer 2

As an adult, you have to have finished Water temple and have the Lens of Truth. In gerudo valley, you have to head out in the desert and use the lens of truth to follow a guide to an oasis.
