The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Hints

How can I lower the red blocks to get up the stairs?

  • 1 of 7: Notice the blue arrow-shaped device off to the left of the platform?
  • 2 of 7: It's your target.
  • 3 of 7: If you fire the boomerang at it, you can change its direction.
  • 4 of 7: Then if you fire an arrow at it, that arrow will be fired out again in the given direction.
  • 5 of 7: Experiment with the directions until you find one that works.
  • 6 of 7: Aim it to the left and shoot it with an arrow to lower the blocks.
  • 7 of 7: Incidentally, you can also shoot an arrow to the north to make a chest appear with a Wisdom Gem inside.
