"This isn't much of a village. It's just one building!" Said Tatl.
Link saw that there was a shivering Goron on top of a ledge, but he couldn't do anything about him at the moment. So he ran forward and crossed the little bridge to find an Owl Statue. He slashed it with his sword to wake it up. He saw a bridge and crossed it heading down a path. He emerged in Snowhead where he found himself on a path that had huge gaps in it with curious ramps on then. He then turned around the other way, following the path behind the lone building.
He ran forward down the path, killing a Blue Tektite that got in his way, then he crossed the first bridge. He encountered a new enemy. The pale and pasty hound appeared when he got close, and was excellent at guarding itself. Link waited until it attacked to strike. He kept swinging before finally landing the killing blow. Link continued across the bridges and shot down Tingle who was floating around about half-way through the area. Link purchased the Map of Snowhead from him for 20 rupees, and then continued on the last stretch and entered the Goron Village.
Link spoke with the Gorons around town but most of them were indoors because everything was frozen over. He walked around to the opposite side of the village where he saw a large floating island off in the distance.
"Link, up here," Kaepora Gaebora called down, "follow me carefully!"
He then proceeded to drop feathers upon invisible, icy platforms. The feathers disappeared after a short time, so Link didn't take too long to follow. He jumped from one to the next, steadily working his way forward. Once he got to the end, he entered the shrine.
Inside he found a chest which he opened up to find the lens of truth. Back outside, he used the Lens of Truth to see the icy platforms that were previously invisible. He jumped back across them and he saw a Goron on the ledge. Now that link saw him, he went ahead and spoke with him.
"Wha- you can see me? No matter, follow me!" Link followed him through the village, and once he stopped moving Link used the Lens and stood next to him.
Back along the road he took to get to Goron Village, using the Lens again to follow him. Link dodged out of the way of the White Wolfos and Blue Tektite along the way, then used the Lens again once he got to the end.
Finally back in the Mountain Village, Link then followed the ghost over to the water. At this point, he saw it fly up to the top of the cliffside, which now Link saw had a ton of ladders on it. To get across the water, he jumped on the small iceberg that was spinning around and hopped to the other side. He used the Lens to see the graspable points and started climbing. When he reached the top he saw the ghost enter a cave and he followed. Inside, Link used his lens one last time to speak with the spirit.
"I am Darmani the Third, the proud Goron Hero. I attempted to get to the Snowhead Temple on my own to stop the unnatural cold that is coming from the mountain, that is freezing Snowhead and slowly killing my people. On the way there, I got blown off the mountain by the fierce blizzards and died. I am overcome with grief and cannot pass on while my people suffer." Said the spirit.
"Hey, Link, don't you know a son…"
"Yeah yeah, shut up Tatl." Said Link pulling out his ocarina to play the song of time. At the end, Darmani spoke again.
"I will pass on my duty to you and grant you my powers." His ghostly body disappeared and the Goron mask dropped from where his face had been. Link put on the Goron Mask and walked out. Just outside the Goron Graveyard were two Gorons. The one who wasn't frozen mentioned that there's a hot spring beneath Darmani's grave. Link went back inside and pulled it back. This filled the lower area to fill up with steaming Hot Spring Water. Link snagged some in a bottle, but knowing it wouldn't stay hot for long he soared to the Owl Statue in Mountain Village. He ran in the direction of Goron Village with help from the bunny hood. On the Road To Goron Village, he went across the first two bridges, avoiding the White Wolfos. At the third island, just before the entrance to Goron Village itself, he saw some ice blocking a hole in the ground. He used the Hot Spring Water here to melt the ice and allow him to enter the hole. He dropped down into the hole and found a hot spring so he filled both of his bottles with their water.
Link went back into Goron city and asked the Goron to open the door. Link entered the building to hear a loud whining. He followed the noise to a room in the back. There he found a small Goron crying for his father.
"Hey Link, I think I saw someone frozen in some ice earlier." Said Tatl
"Ok where?" Tatl led Link back to the previous area where, sure enough, there was an old goron frozen in ice. Link rushed over and thawed him out. The Goron elder attempted to teach Link a song but couldn't, telling Link to go back to Goron city and find his son and play that for him.
Link did so and the young goron taught Link the rest of the song. Link played it on his drums. By the time he finished, every Goron in the area was asleep.
"This is it Tatl! Maybe I can get to the temple now."
"Gosh! This took forever! I mean look at the time it's almost the third day!"
"Jeez I didn't even notice that! I have to hurry up!"
From the mountain village he followed the pathway at the northwest part of the area, which lead to the Road to Snowhead.
Link used the Goron jump to be propelled forward over the gap. At the second ramp, he charged up another roll and launched himself over to the last side.
Here, he immediately found an Owl Statue. He slashed it with his sword to activate it.
"Hey Link, why don't we just reset time so we have enough time to get through the temple."
"Sure but first let me just deposit the rupees I have collected" Link teleported back to clock town and found the banker girl Sarah.
"Here are 200 more rupees!"
He stepped back and played the Song of time. He fell through the void and once again appeared back at the clock tower.
