Order
There are many ways to complete the levels in Ocarina of Time. I have completed this game many times and have tried many different orders. I'll list the abbreviations in the normal order. That is the order that Navi tells you to go in.
 * Forest Temple - FT
 * Fire Temple - FR
 * Water Temple - WR
 * Shadow Temple - SW
 * Spirit Temple - SP

Here are the orders.
 * FT→FR→WR→SW→SP
 * FT→FR→WR→SP→SW
 * FT→FR→SP→WR→SW
 * FR→FT→WR→SW→SP
 * FR→FT→WR→SP→SW
 * FR→FT→SP→WR→SW

There are probably more possibilities, but these are the only ones that I can remember.--Mjr162006 01:16, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

I also just realized that the following orders are also possible. It is assuming you enter and, but not complete, other levels for any necessary items.


 * SP→FT→FR→WR→SW
 * SP→FR→FT→WR→SW
 * SP→WR→FT→FR→SW
 * SP→WR→FR→FR→SW
 * SP→WR→FT→SW→FR
 * SP→WR→FR→SW→FT
 * WR→SW→FT→FR→SP
 * WR→SW→FR→FT→SP
 * WR→SW→FT→SP→FR
 * WR→SW→FR→SP→FT
 * WR→SW→SP→FT→FR
 * WR→SW→SP→FR→FT
 * WR→SP→FR→FT→SP

There are a lot more, but you get the general idea. With this concept of obtaining items from temples and then leaving before finishing, along with the fact that the Shadow Temple always has to be after the Water Temple, we can figure out how many ways there are to finish the levels. First we start off with all the possible places of these two temples. I'll use xx to represent a wildcard.
 * 1) xx→xx→xx→WR→SW
 * 2) xx→xx→WR→xx→SW
 * 3) xx→xx→WR→SW→xx
 * 4) xx→WR→xx→xx→SW
 * 5) xx→WR→xx→SW→xx
 * 6) xx→WR→SW→xx→xx
 * 7) WR→xx→xx→xx→SW
 * 8) WR→xx→xx→SW→xx
 * 9) WR→xx→SW→xx→xx
 * 10) WR→SW→xx→xx→xx

So that is ten different places for those temples. In each of those, there are six possible ways to arrange the other three temples. So, six times ten equals sixty. That means that are sixty different ways to finish the five temples. Given this, perhaps we should only list the default way, the path suggested by Navi, on this article. Agreed? 20:23, July 13, 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry I didn't get around to this sooner, but yes. I'll also mention at the bottom that it's possible to get them out of order. 13:31, 16 July 2008 (UTC)


 * On the game itself, although the Shadow Temple is technically the fifth temple, according to Navi, the Shadow Medallion itself occupies the sixth slot. Thoughts? Felicia's Champion, 00:12, 17 July 2008 (EST)

Now that you mention it, yeah, I remember looking at that and thinking "wait wtf???" I'm not quite sure what to make of it. The Chamber of Sages is oriented the same way. So we go with Navi or the interface? 14:38, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Wind-Themed
In the part of this article that talks about Saria's part in Ganon's Castle originally being wind-themed, that site it references is now defunct. However, I still looked through the site using the Internet Archive Wayback Machine to browse the site. A list of archived versions of the site can be found here. I looked through and could not find any reference to this wind-theme Saria section of Ganon's Tower. For now, I removed the reference and added a citation needed tag. Thoughts anyone? 20:23, July 13, 2008 (UTC)
