Saving the 4 carpenters would then become an easier job to handle. Owning a Hookshot / Longshot, plenty of arrows and the Biggoron's Sword will be extremely handy to make short work of the Gerudo guards. Come back later with those two items so you can survive the two tests to be able to reach the Spirit Temple. You're not going to cross the blinding desert without the Longshot and Lens of Truth. Note: You can't do this prior to Forest Temple.Once you've blown up all the boulders and collected all the goodies, follow the trail and ride/walk into the Gerudo's Fortress. One of them is hiding a treasure chest with a Purple Rupee in it. Scattered outside the tent are several boulders. He won't do much for you now, but once you finish later sections, he will present a rather difficult opportunity in the form of an (unbeatable) race to the Lost Woods. Inside the tent, you will find the Hyrule Field runner. He will tell you that the bridge was destroyed by the Gerudo. Once across, talk to the head carpenter outside the little white tent. Use the targets strung on rope over the bridge ends to pull yourself over. However, it is much easier if you have the Longshot. Get her running at full speed, and jump across the bridge gap. You can get Epona and ride to Gerudo valley. N64, GameCube, Wii Classic Controller, 3DS, Switch
