View source for Master Quest Dungeon Requirements

These requirements were designed with newer players in mind, so they mention few enable-able tricks and no glitches banned under the [[Standard | Standard Ruleset]].

{{quick reference pages}}

== Inside the Deku Tree ==

* '''Deku Sticks''' - Required to light torches/webs and for enemies.
* '''Slingshot''' - Required to reach the compass room, though just reaching Gohma does not if using the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWV3XslET2Y B1 skip] (Note that this skip is harder on MQ due to the deku baba).
**If using the B1 skip to avoid the slingshot requirement in the basement, note that after defeating the room full of enemies you need to leave the room and re-enter for the door bars blocking the spinning log room to rise.
* '''Deku Shield''' - Required for the spinning log and Thirty One is Number Two.
** '''Hylian Shield''' will work for the spinning log room.
* '''Song of Time''' and '''Ocarina''' - Required for the chest after the spinning log.
* '''Kokiri Sword''' - Not logically required with the Open Forest setting due to the versatility of Deku Sticks.
* '''Deku Nuts''' - Not strictly required, but useful.
* ''The compass room Skulltula requires the '''Boomerang''' and either '''Song of Time''' and '''Bomb Bag''', or a '''Bombchu'''.
* ''The basement ceiling Skulltula requires '''Song of Time''' and '''Boomerang''', whereas the mud wall Skulltula requires '''Boomerang''' and '''explosives'''.''

== Dodongo's Cavern ==

These requirements assume adult access to Dodongo's Cavern.
* '''Strength 1''' - Sufficient for the first level checks. Strength 1 can also be used to beat King Dodongo after the eyes are lit.
* '''Explosives''' or [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trTE0rPwd7c&list=PLqsXSioZwQyoa23_27l5NZq5IZdKRi5Sm&index=3 Skillful use of the '''Bow'''] - Reach the second floor checks.
** Alternatively, '''Hammer''' can be used to loop around backwards.
* A '''Fire Source''' and '''Magic''' - Open the Gohma Larva room as adult. Can be done as child with '''Deku Sticks'''.
* '''Bomb Bag''' or '''Bombchus''' - This is to light the eyes, but note Bombchus are not in logic. Bombchus also require a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwjN9Wg1KhU difficult trick] to be used against King Dodongo, so without Strength, Bomb Bag is usually required.
* ''1F right room Skulltula requires '''Hookshot''' and either '''Strength 1''', '''Explosives''', or '''Bow'''.
* ''1F left room Skulltula requires '''Song of Time''' and '''Ocarina'''.
* ''Upper Lizalfos Skulltula requires '''Explosives''' or '''Hammer'''.

== Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly ==

* '''Scale''' OR '''Ocarina''', '''Zelda's Lullaby''', & '''Explosives''' - Required to enter Zora's Domain. While not part of the weekly settings, the trick [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-Q29_V70II&list=PLqsXSioZwQyoa23_27l5NZq5IZdKRi5Sm&index=15 "Zora's Domain Entry with Cucco"] can be used to reduce this requirement to either '''scale''' or '''explosives'''.
* '''Ruto's Letter''' - Unless the settings already moved King Zora.
* '''Bottled Fish''' - Easy to get in Zora's Domain if Ruto's Letter was required and entrance randomizer is off.
* '''Slingshot''' - The cows react exclusively to slingshot, so this is hard required to get past the first room.
* '''Explosives''' - Required for three checks plus Skulltulas.
* '''Boomerang'''
* '''Deku Sticks''' or '''Kokiri Sword''' - There is a pot with sticks in Zora's Domain.
* '''Deku Nuts''' - Not strictly required, but extremely useful.
* ''The Boomerang Room Skulltula requires '''Song of Time''' and '''Ocarina''', but can be acquired with just '''boomerang''' angled to pass through the SoT block.''
* ''The invisible enemy room Skulltula requires '''Magic Meter''' and '''Lens of Truth'''. This is one of the more difficult Lens requirements to skip because the Keese like to perch and fly outside targeting range.

== Forest Temple ==

* '''Hookshot''' - For Temple entry and skulltulas, not necessarily needed to complete the temple itself depending on key layout. The island chest is intended to be reached from above through the falling ceiling room.
* '''Bow'''
* '''Strength 1''' - For the blocks in the room to the left.
* '''Ocarina''' and '''Song of Time''' - For the chest behind the lobby. But if key logic allows, this room can instead be accessed by dropping down from the bow room above and then savewarping out of the room. Potentially also for reaching the top platforms in the east courtyard.
* Potential requirements dependent on key logic:
** '''Longshot''' - May be required to reach the east courtyard from the west without bow by longshotting the well vines to swim through. (Possible with only hookshot, but not in default logic.) Could also be required to reach top platforms of the east courtyard without Bow, Hover Boots or Song of Time.
** '''Iron Boots''' - Can be used to go from one courtyard to the other through the well.
** '''Hover Boots''' - Used in several OR scenarios in logic, but the chances that it's the only logical way to a chest are slim.
** '''Din's Fire''' - Can be used in place of bow to reach the falling ceiling room.

== Fire Temple ==

* '''Fire Source''' and '''Magic''' - Typically Fire Arrows are preferable to Din's due to the way the puzzles are made in MQ Fire Temple.
* '''Bow''' - Even if Din's is the fire source, the bow is needed to carry the fire across the rooms.
* '''Bombs'''/'''Bombchus''' - Bombchus are not typically in logic.
* '''Hammer''' - Hard required to damage Volvagia.
* '''Goron Tunic''' - Can be skipped by finding enough heart containers to sufficiently extend the heat timer, but this is out of logic.
* Potential requirements dependent on key logic:
** '''Hookshot'''
** '''Ocarina''' and '''Song of Time''' - Needed to reach the tower which uses Scarecrow's Song in vanilla (can be bypassed with '''Longshot''') and the room off the fire wall maze.
** '''Hover Boots''' - Used to reach Volvagia without dropping the pillar. There is a glitchless jump trick to bypass this requirement called [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtNH5K7Jgus&list=PLqsXSioZwQyoa23_27l5NZq5IZdKRi5Sm&index=24 "Fire Temple Boss Door without Hover Boots or Pillar."]

== Ice Cavern ==

* '''Ruto's Letter''' - Required unless the King Zora setting is either Open or Open as Adult and another '''Bottle''' was already obtained.
* '''Ocarina''' and '''Zelda's Lullaby''' - This, plus the bottle from Ruto's Letter, is enough to reach the song check.
* '''Explosives'''
* '''''Hookshot''', '''Song of Time''', and '''Scarecrow's Song''' - Only necessary for Skulltulas.''
** The [https://youtu.be/Q1rNKWf7nPA "Ground Jump"] trick which uses a '''Bomb Bag''' and '''Shield''' can skip the need for Scarecrow's Song or [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7bPqcbuV14 a difficult glitchless jump].
* ''A 2nd '''Bottle''' - Not required, but makes progression far quicker.''

== Water Temple ==

* '''Iron Boots'''
** It is in logic to open the Water Temple with the Longshot and then dive into the entrance with the Gold Scale, but only the top level is in logic (which is only relevant if keys are removed or can be found outside their own dungeon).
* '''Longshot''' - In Master Quest, this is given immediately and is therefore required for much more of the dungeon than in Vanilla.
* Potential requirements dependent on key logic:
** '''Ocarina''' and '''Zelda's Lullaby'''
** '''Din's Fire''' and '''Magic'''
** '''Fire Arrows''' and '''Bow''' - Required for one basement Skulltula where three torches are out of Din's Fire range. They can mostly replace the Din's Fire requirement out of logic, but be aware that when the torches are slanted, the hitbox remains vertical.
** '''Song of Time''' - For the Central Pillar Chest.
** '''Scarecrow's Song''' - For the Freestanding Key and basement Skulltulas.
** '''Zora's Tunic''' - Under weekly settings (the trick "Fewer Tunic Requirements" is enabled), this is only expected for the central pillar chest.
** Very rarely, '''Hover Boots''' may be needed if Scarecrow's Song is not available.

== Bottom of the Well ==

* '''Ocarina''' and '''Song of Storms''' - Required for entry.
* '''Deku Sticks'''/'''Kokiri Sword''' - Jumpslash the crystal switch by the song Triforce to lower the water level.
** In the weekly settings, the trick [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gROY5Y66xeA&list=PLqsXSioZwQyoa23_27l5NZq5IZdKRi5Sm&index=11 "Child Deadhand without Kokiri Sword"] is enabled and so removes the Kokiri Sword requirement.
* '''Bomb Bag'''/'''Bombchus''' - Bombchus are not usually in logic. Also count as a projectile to hit the hidden crystal switch past the second crawl space.
* '''Zelda's Lullaby''' - Opens the gates around the central area. Can be skipped with the trick "Bottom of the Well MQ Jump Over the Pits" enabled, using explosives and a backflip/sidehop over the pit. (This trick is not part of weekly settings, but is easy enough to be mentioned here.)

Scale is never required. Normal dive is enough to reach the coffin room.

== Shadow Temple ==

* '''Ocarina''' and '''Nocturne of Shadow''' - Necessary to reach entrance.
* '''Magic Meter''' and '''Din's Fire''' - Necessary to open entrance.
* '''Hover Boots'''
* '''Song of Time'''
* '''Bow'''
* '''Bomb Bag/Bombchus''' - Bombchus usually not in logic.
* '''Strength 1'''
* '''Longshot''' - Hookshot is mostly sufficient, but five checks requires Longshot. So it is more than likely Longshot will be required for key logic.
* '''Zelda's Lullaby''' - For the ferry.
* '''''Lens of Truth''' - Weekly settings remove this requirement.''

== Gerudo Training Ground ==

* '''Bow'''
* '''Longshot'''
* '''Fire Source''' and '''Magic'''
* '''Lens of Truth''' - For the hidden ceiling chest and exiting the blue fire room.
* '''Bottle''' - For blue fire to melt the red ice wall.
* '''Hammer''' - Drops the Ice Arrows chest and opens the right side doors.
* '''Ocarina''' and '''Song of Time''' - Needed to climb the ledge before the eye statue room as the Hookshot Target is removed in Master Quest.
** The [https://youtu.be/Q1rNKWf7nPA "Ground Jump"] trick which uses a '''Bomb Bag''' and '''Shield''' can skip the need for Ocarina and Song of Time in the room with the Blue Fire.
* '''Strength 2'''
* '''Iron Boots''' and '''Zora Tunic'''

== Spirit Temple ==

* A Method to the Colossus 
** '''Ocarina''' and '''Requiem of Spirit'''
** '''Ocarina''', '''Epona's Song''', '''Hover Boots''', '''Magic Meter''', and '''Lens of Truth'''
** '''Longshot''', '''Magic Meter''', and '''Lens of Truth'''
* '''Bombchus''' - Boulders block child access above the first floor and adult access beyond the first room.
* '''Longshot''' - Required for adult access beyond the first room.
* '''Silver Gauntlets''' - Required for adult access beyond the first room.
* '''Bomb Bag/Bombchus''' - Bombchus usually not in logic for remaining checks beyond initial access where they are required.
* '''Megaton Hammer''' - Required to lower the sun platform to open the way to the boss room. Also used to drop the paradox chest in the lower child area.
* '''Mirror Shield'''
* Potential requirements dependent on key logic:
** '''Ocarina''' and '''Zelda's Lullaby'''
** '''Song of Time''' - Very likely to be required. Used in entirely too many rooms in this dungeon.
** '''Magic Meter''' and '''Din's Fire''' - Required as child on the 1st Floor.
** '''Deku Sticks'''
** '''Slingshot''' and/or '''Boomerang''' - Boomerang is good to replace Slingshot for one chest and a Skulltula, other uses require the Slingshot.
** '''Bow'''
** '''Fire Arrows'''
** '''Lens of Truth'''
** '''All Child Songs except Saria's''' - Required for the Symphony Room.

== Inside Ganon's Castle ==

Ganon's Castle has five scrubs and fairies behind an invisible wall on the ground just below the entrance. They sell convenient refills if scrubsanity is off. In the weekly settings, the Lens of Truth isn't expected to access them.
