I am about to start the water temple. The 3rd set of tears took me a while cause I was a dumbass and I had to walk away from the game for a day after spending and hour chasing the cart around in a circle to get the zora boy back to the village. Started playing again yesterday and I got it in about 15-20 min, I felt like a dumbass when I did finally get it though.
I have 6 hearts, 2 bomb bags (1 full of water bombs, 1 full of regular bombs), the metal shield and the hawk eye mask (hopefully it comes in handy for the 100 rupees it cost me!).
I'll start rocking the water temple after school today.
