Phantom Hourglass dungeon order and item guide
Match the island dungeons to the tools that expand exploration.
Edition covered
Original Nintendo DS adventure. Wii U Virtual Console controls and online service availability are outside these guides.
Track the island dungeon sequence
The Temple of the Ocean King is revisited between island objectives. Treat it as a recurring route rather than placing every visit in the island-temple item list.
| Order | Dungeon | Key item |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Temple of Fire | Boomerang. |
| 2 | Temple of Wind | Bombs. |
| 3 | Temple of Courage | Bow. |
| 4 | Goron Temple | Bombchus. |
| 5 | Temple of Ice | Grappling Hook. |
| 6 | Mutoh’s Temple | Hammer. |
Use each new tool to widen the route
Several tools reach things the sword cannot. Test a tool where the geometry fits its behavior: distant switches, cracked barriers or gaps between attachment points.
| Tool | Typical puzzle job | Check |
|---|---|---|
| Boomerang | Draw a path through switches | Order and obstacles. |
| Bombs | Break weak walls and blocks | Blast position. |
| Bombchus | Travel along a drawn ground path | Route continuity. |
| Grappling Hook | Connect suitable posts | Attachment points. |
| Hammer | Hit distant pegs or mechanisms | Target position. |
Recheck sea charts after temple progress
New chart information changes where you can sail. An island that is visible in a guide may not yet be reachable on your current chart.
Keep a return list
Mark optional obstacles that need later equipment. This keeps heart and treasure cleanup organized without turning every new tool into an unfocused world tour.
