The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Hints

How do I pass the northern spikes here?

  • 1 of 5: This involves another remote-controlled explosive.
  • 2 of 5: You will notice red and blue blocks, and a switch to raise and lower them according to color.
  • 3 of 5: You're going to need to send a Bombchu toward the switch to lower the spikes (to the west, then south), and then raise and lower the colored blocks accordingly to create a path for him.
  • 4 of 5: Aim him first, then switch back to Link (just tap the touch screen), and run to the color-changing switch. Keep an eye on your Bombchu and make sure it is the correct color to lower first the red, then the blue blocks.
  • 5 of 5: He will then explode the switch, causing the northern spikes in this area to lower.
