Ice Arrow is Missing
Part 6

Simultaneously the worst and best part (when I say "best" I mean to watch players to try and complete, not the best puzzle). I didn't play test this one very well and as a result it is extremely difficult to complete. I don't blame anyone for giving up on this part when they figure out they need to complete the Deku Shrine maze. The timing is very punishing and requires very good movement otherwise the player voids and sent back to restart. I did end up editing the start of the maze to make it a little easier, however the end is still the same as the original.

Deku Shrine

Placed at the end of the Deku Shrine. The player must complete the new and improved maze created by Skull Kid. Instead of the Deku Butler leading the player through there is an Eye switch that opens the initial door. Throughout the maze there are gates blocking the way and must be opened by activating various other switches along the way. The catch is that once a switch is activated it triggers one of the closing doors. If the player is not quick enough the door will close on them and reset them back to the start. This means the entire maze has to be completed all in one go.

There is actually a bug that I never figured out how it works. Sometimes after the player has voided and reloaded back to the start one of the closing door activates some where in the maze. Which obviously results in a second void.

Special Note by Ostrealava02

If you play on a black & white T.V. it is hard to spot the hidden crystal switch in the image above.

The Deku Butler as he leads the way through the maze. However, for this ROM Hack he is actually removed from the maze.
