Turn The Gears In Two Directions To Sove The Gimmick
The gimmick inside Final Trial can be solved by turning the gear in the center in either direction. For convenience, this page is described clockwise/counterclockwise from the entrance. Note that the map may be reversed depending on Link's position.
The Color of The Gear Changes Depending On The Direction of Rotation
| Clockwise (Blue) | Counterclockwise (Orange) |
|---|---|
 |  |
The color of gears and other internal gimmicks changes according to the direction in which the gears are turned. The color changes to blue when turned clockwise from the entrance, and to orange when turned counterclockwise.
Guardian Appears Each Time The Terminal Is Activated
| Activated 1 | Guardian Scout I ×4 |
|---|---|
| Activated 2 | Guardian Turret ×1 |
| Activated 3 | Guardian Skywatcher ×1 |
After each terminal is activated, Guardian will appear in the central area. As the Guardian gradually gets stronger and stronger, if you are not careful, you may get knocked out. It'd be better to prepare some Guardian Resist equipment.
It Is Recommended To Prepare Ancient Arrow
When the second and third terminals are activated, a Guardian Turret and a Guardian Skywatcher will appear. Guardian Skywatcher is particularly troublesome because it is difficult to attack at close range, so it is recommended to have several "Ancient Arrows" that can be used take it down with a single shot by hitting the enemy's eyeballs.
