Spirit Tracks dungeon order and key items
Compare realm temples, their equipment and later tool uses.
Edition covered
Original Nintendo DS game with touch controls and microphone interactions. Wii U control adaptations are outside this reference.
Follow the realm temple sequence
Visits to the Tower of Spirits alternate with the realm adventures. The tower opens the next stretch of the railway, while the temples supply major equipment.
| Order | Temple | Key tool |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Forest Temple | Whirlwind. |
| 2 | Snow Temple | Boomerang. |
| 3 | Ocean Temple | Whip. |
| 4 | Fire Temple | Bow. |
| 5 | Sand Temple | Sand Wand. |
Read a puzzle through its tool
Spirit Tracks often asks you to draw, aim or move a tool through a sequence. Look for the environmental feature that matches the latest item.
| Tool | Puzzle role | Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Whirlwind | Direct air | Aim before blowing. |
| Boomerang | Drawn flight path | Connect relevant targets. |
| Whip | Grab and swing | Identify a suitable grip. |
| Bow | Hit distant targets | Watch moving mechanisms. |
| Sand Wand | Raise sand | Use the terrain beneath an object. |
Use the tower as a progression check
If the next realm route is missing, return to the story objective around the tower. A train detour cannot bypass a required restoration step.
Keep old tools available
The newest item does not make earlier tools obsolete. Later rooms combine abilities and sometimes require Link and Zelda to act separately.
If the next realm route is missing, return to the story objective around the tower. A train detour cannot bypass a required restoration step.
