After you arrive in Kakariko Village and finish finding all 7 missing Cuccos in Ocarina of Time, you may come across a well that looks to have a ladder heading down. Unfortunately, it’s full of water, and you’re unable to enter the well yet. If you’re eager to explore the well under the village, here’s how to lower the well water in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake.
How to enter the well in Ocarina of Time
You can lower the well water in Ocarina of Time by performing the Song of Storms in the windmill. If you don’t already know this song, you can learn it by speaking with the Music Man inside the Kakariko Village windmill as adult Link.
To play the song on your ocarina, return to the Music Man as child Link and hit the notes L R X L R X. The wind will pick up, and the water in the well will lower. You can now head down the well and crawl through the crawl space.
In this next section, you’ll have to lower the well water once more to eventually unlock the Lenses of Truth. To enter the Bottom of the Well area, walk through the wall behind the plaque that reads “A wall is not merely a wall. Do not accept only what you see as truth.”
Now that you’re in this mini-dungeon, head to the northern part and run along the grates until you find a large frog statue and a Triforce symbol on the ground. Stand on top of the Triforce and play Zelda’s Lullaby (Y X A Y X A), and the water will lower.
There are plenty of chests and goodies in this dungeon, especially the Lenses of Truth, which reveal hidden secrets. Now that you’ve figured out how to lower the well water with the Song of Storms, you should also learn how to get Sun’s Song in Ocarina of Time.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake is available now, exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2.
