Great Deku Tree Walkthrough
Climb to 3F, obtain the Fairy Slingshot, break through the central web to B1, burn the lower web and defeat the three Deku Scrubs in 2-3-1 order. Stun Queen Gohma’s exposed eye, attack with the sword and collect both the Heart Container and Kokiri’s Emerald.
Critical path
- Climb the interior route, collect the Dungeon Map and defeat the Deku Scrub by reflecting its seed.
- Cross the collapsing platform, climb the vines and open the chest for the Fairy Slingshot. Shoot the switch to leave.
- Use the Slingshot on the wall Skulltulas, reach 3F and collect the Compass from the timed platform room.
- Jump from 3F into the web on 1F. In B1, light a Deku Stick and burn the web blocking the next door.
- Lower the water beneath the rotating spike log, move the block, light both torches and burn the next webs.
- Push the shortcut block, carry fire back to the floor web and drop to B2.
- Reflect the Deku Scrubs in middle, right, left order: 2-3-1. Enter the Boss room and look upward.
Queen Gohma answer
Lock on and wait for the eye to become vulnerable. Use the Slingshot when Gohma is on the ceiling, then attack the stunned eye with the sword. Repeat until defeated. The story-complete flag is the Kokiri’s Emerald after the post-boss sequence.

Great Deku Tree walkthrough checks
Before entering, equip the Kokiri Sword and Deku Shield. The Fairy Slingshot is obtained inside, so it is not an entry requirement. The critical route is vertical: climb first, use the upper floor to break the central web, then finish the basement fire-and-web sequence before the 2-3-1 Deku Scrub answer.
If the route appears blocked, check the last permanent shortcut rather than restarting the dungeon. The pushed block links the basement rooms, while the burned webs stay open. The Dungeon Map and Compass help with cleanup, but neither is required to defeat Queen Gohma or receive the Kokiri’s Emerald.
For the boss, look upward to start the encounter. Stun Queen Gohma when the eye is exposed, close the distance and use sword attacks during the vulnerable window. Collect the Heart Container before entering the blue warp so the permanent health reward is not left behind.
