The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Hints

How do I solve the puzzle with noughts and crosses on this floor?

  • 1 of 5: You basically need to turn all of the blue crosses into red circles with creative use of your hammer.
  • 2 of 5: This can be done fairly easily by guessing and playing around with the hammer and figuring out which other tiles are affected by each hit.
  • 3 of 5: However the solution is shown below:
  • 4 of 5: Hit the lower-middle tile first.
    Next, how the central-middle tile.
    Then hit the lower-middle tile once more.
  • 5 of 5: This will open a path to the south.
