Twinrova answer
Reflect one sister’s elemental beam at the other with the Mirror Shield. In the combined phase, absorb repeated attacks of the same element, then release the stored energy and attack with the sword.
Reserved fields
Exact Small Key IDs, floor-by-floor chest order, all Skulltula requirements and Remake-only room changes remain reserved for a second-source pass.
Spirit Temple walkthrough handoff
The Spirit Temple cannot be finished in one age. First arrive at Desert Colossus as Adult Link and learn the Requiem of Spirit. Return to the Temple of Time, become Child Link and warp back. The child route ends with the Iron Knuckle and the exterior Silver Gauntlets chest.
After collecting the Silver Gauntlets, change back to Adult Link and return to the entrance. Move the silver block to open the adult side, then follow the route to the Mirror Shield. Reflected light activates the sun symbols and opens the central statue progression toward the Boss Key.
The clean handoff point is the Silver Gauntlets: if Child Link has not opened that exterior chest, Adult Link cannot start the main block route. The Mirror Shield is the second required checkpoint and also supplies the answer to the Twinrova fight, so it cannot be skipped on the way to the boss.
Before the boss door, confirm that the Mirror Shield and Boss Key are both collected. Optional Skulltula cleanup can be separated from story completion; the chapter checkpoint is defeating Twinrova and receiving the Spirit Medallion after the chamber sequence.
