I just melted the ice with the big lava rock, but when I ride the river there is a barracade over the branch that leads to Lake Hylia. The only open branch takes me all the way to Hyrule field and I cannot find a way to the lake to meet the third spirit. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for your help!
dam is been a few hours now and i am trying to remember how i done, how i done it, i think i did a warp but now i dont remember if you have that warp spot or not,
sorry outergalaxy, this is just after you melt the ice, and the queen stops you and tells you to look after her son, if this is where you are at, then the river should take you all the way down and you wake up at the site were the cave is, becasue the river makes link pass out and he awakes next to the cave...
That is really unfortunate, I saved last night after I talked to the queen and when I reloaded today, I couldnt get past the gate. I think my game is screwed up.

is the river frozen again or is it flowing i had some problems with the save i had to do some things again but it was later on in the game, i still have not passed it almost have, um well i just checked a game gudie on the net to make sure i was not giving out bad info and what i said is correct, once you flow down the river link should get knocked out and then he awakens next to the cave
um...is that the place where you have to take the little passage way that the zoras kinda show you?...i think it is...when i did it i got on the land and it showed zoras swimming through it....i think thats where you are...maybe not
this is what should happen...
Midna will mention that the water level has risen, and the speed of the
current should carry you to the lake. Jump down the waterfall and swim with
the current, and you will soon arrive at Lake Hylia.
Yeah, I saw the two guys and they jumped in the river down the fast cave passage, but when I followed, I just ended up in Hyrule Field. I am going to try and reload my save a few times and see if I can get it to work properly.
yea thats the way your supposed to go. i dont think anything is wrong....
yeah well them two guys i never seen till after i spoke to the spirt
Something is definitely wrong. I don't think my game is salvageable. I guess I saved during a critical sequence last night. I found one of the bugs I am supposed to kill and a tear of light came out. The only problem with this is that I have never spoken to the spirit so I do not have the light collector. I cannot get to the spirit because my guy wont pass out, he instead goes to upper zora river and then to hyrule field. This is truly a disappointment, I really don't want to do everything over again. Bummer.
