In the beloved Nintendo 64 classic “The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time,” players encounter a treacherous sandstorm while traversing the Gerudo Valley. Progressing through this hazardous area requires specific steps and strategies.
The sandstorm significantly reduces visibility and damages Link’s health if he remains exposed for too long. To successfully navigate the sandstorm, players must first obtain the Iron Boots from the Shadow Temple. These boots weigh Link down, allowing him to withstand the strong winds and maintain his balance. Additionally, players can use the Lens of Truth, an item acquired earlier in the game, to see through the sandstorm’s blinding effects.
