- Inside the cave, defeat the Ghirro and learn the echo. Zelda can then use the echo and grab onto the enemy. While holding the enemy, she can walk over the geyser and it will float over the gap. Up ahead, Zelda can use the Ghirro to blow out some of the flames that are in the way, allowing her to grab onto the wall and reach the end of the cave.
