The Hall of Fallen Foes is an important feature in the game The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, which enables you to see all the foes that you have killed. The hall is also helpful in knowing the weaknesses of these foes, and you can rematch the mini-bosses and also challenge the dungeon bosses. In addition, you can challenge yourself with the help of some special gauntlets. However, you have to unlock the hall first. In this guide, we’ll explain how to enter it, find all the enemy statues, and make the most of its challenges.
How To Enter Hall Of Fallen Foes
The Hall of Fallen Foes is a unique element added to the game The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, which allows you to track all the enemies that you have slain during your journey. This is like a room in which you will be able to see the statues of your enemies, find out their weaknesses, and also encounter some of them once more for a fight. You will also be able to fight with dungeon bosses and take part in boss gauntlets.
How To Unlock The Hall Of Fallen Foes
Before getting access to the Hall of Fallen Foes, it is necessary for Link to solve the riddle of the Forest Temple while being Adult Link. Having completed the temple dungeon, one must go to the Temple of Time where Sheik will teach Link some new melody. After that, the player should put Master Sword back on its pedestal and get back to the time of Young Link.
After that, it is necessary for Link to head towards Kakariko Village. Upon arriving there, one will see the familiar owl. Talking to it will allow the player to get acquainted with the Hall of Fallen Foes, which will become available after that via special beds placed all over Hyrule.
Hall Of Fallen Foes Glowing Bed Locations
Once you unlock the Hall of Fallen Foes, you can access it by interacting with glowing beds in different locations. You can find these beds in:
- Lake Hylia
- Link’s House
- Kakariko Village
Go near one of those beds and interact with it. Navi will sense something fishy and tell you to get into bed to find out what happens. Go to sleep, and you will awaken in the Hall of Fallen Foes.
Please note that the number of statues of the fallen enemies that will be waiting for you in this room is based on your progress through the game. If you enter this place right after clearing the Forest Temple, there will be very few statues in the hall. But if you come back as Young Link after doing more in the adult plot, there will be lots of statues.
During your first visit, the owl will also appear and explain how this strange dream area works. You can speak to him whenever you need help. He gives you four options:
- What can I do here?
- How many statues?
- I’m ready to leave.
- I’m all set.
The second option is particularly useful because the owl tells you how many enemy statues you have collected and how many are still missing.
How Many Enemy Statues Are In The Hall Of Fallen Foes
The Hall of Fallen Foes contains 84 statues of enemies. The statue depicts an enemy who has been defeated by you while playing the game. The owl tracks the collection process of the statue and informs you about the number of statues you have collected as well as the number of remaining statues. For example, if you have collected 79 statues, then the owl will let you know that you have to collect five more statues.
This makes the hall a useful place to check your progress if you are trying to complete the enemy collection. You can also return whenever you want, so there is no need to collect every statue during your first visit.
How The Enemy Statues Work
There are four rows in the Hall of Fallen Foes, with each row fulfilling a unique purpose. In the first two rows, most of the statues are dedicated to information about the enemies that you have met. When interacting with a statue, you will receive information regarding the enemies, their locations, and what items can defeat them.
In the third row, you can play against certain enemies and mini-bosses again. There are enemies like Iron Knuckles and Wolfos among the monsters to fight. Rematches are sometimes conducted in the same location where the fight took place initially. The last row has dungeon bosses, and you can challenge them to boss fights again. Moreover, there are certain items assigned to each fight. Therefore, you cannot utilize all the items from your bag as you wish.
How To Rematch Mini-Bosses (Dark Link, Iron Knuckle)
Find the mini-boss rematches in the third line of statues. In these rematches, you can face enemies like Iron Knuckles and Wolfos and fight them whenever you wish to. Choosing a statue will take you to the same place where you first encountered that enemy in your game. Your completion time is also noted by the game, providing you with motivation for repeated matches and improvement. Dark Link is one of the best rematches you can have here. You can rematch Dark Link in the Water Temple without the need to repeat the entire dungeon.
How To Rematch Dungeon Bosses In Ocarina Of Time
In the fourth row, there are statues of the bosses of dungeons which you have already killed during the course of the game. Interacting with the statue means that you can relive the experience of battling the boss and try to beat the timer. This, however, comes with a bit of a limitation. In comparison with regular boss battles, not all items can be brought to the battle. There is a certain amount of equipment provided for each individual fight and it is impossible to choose otherwise. Besides, being Adult Link while going into the fight does not guarantee that you will fight as an Adult Link.
How To Unlock Ganondorf And Ganon Statues
However, if you see that the Ganondorf and Ganon statues are not there, it is nothing to be worried about. These cannot be obtained through the process of playing the game or just by killing the enemies while on the adventure. First, you need to finish the main story and kill the final boss. When you finish the game, you will see that there is an autosave file with a small Triforce symbol in it. You have to make sure that you load this autosave and not the usual one.
