Floor 2: Sand Crab (10) Regular sword slashes and sword beams.

Floor 3: Octorok (8) Regular sword slashes and sword beams.

Floor 4: Stalfos (8) Pray that the 4 stalfos closest to you start chasing you, then lure them to the north end of the room to aggro the last 4 (get hit if you have to, sword beams don't matter anymore). Tornado Rod all 8 and slash them.

Floor 5: Moldorm (Boss) A single spin attack will kill Moldorm.

Intermediate

Goal: 1:30

Summary: 15 floors of enemies that stand no chance against the Master Sword Lv3.

Floor 1: Blue Popo (1), Red Popo (8) You should have the Bombs and Tornado Rod equipped by now. Regular sword slashes, getting multikills when possible.

Floor 2: Chasupa (8) Walk up to the middle 2 and slash once to kill them, and the same for the 2 above them. The rest should aggro and come to you; slash away.

Floor 3: Crow (6) Stand against the next floor's door and wait for all 6 to charge. Slash away.

Floor 4: Terrorpin (11) Slowly move toward the middle (getting hit if you have to) and Tornado Rod all 11 when they group up. Slash away.

Floor 5: Green Sword Soldier (8) Walk up to the middle 2 and slash once to kill them, and the same for the 2 above them. The rest will come to you; slash away.

Floor 6: Blue Hardhat Beetle (7) Walk in between the large bumper in the middle and the enemies on a side of your choosing for the first slash. Kill 2 at a time whenever possible.

Floor 7: Blue Bow Soldier (6) Walk up-right to kill the lone archer after they reposition. Walk up and kill the 2 above you with one slash, then another slash to kill the 3rd just above them. Head left, mindful of arrow trajectory, to kill the final 2 with one slash.

Floor 8: Snap Dragon (8) Kill 3 Snap Dragons in the middle of the room. Slash the rest away.

Floor 9: Helmasaur (6) Stand in the middle of the room. As they charge at you, place a bomb and use the Tornado Rod. Slash them away once their masks are destroyed. If possible, equip the Fire Rod over bombs here.

Floor 10: Gibdo (8) Walk up to aggro all 8, then use regular sword slashes. If possible, equip the Fire Rod over bombs here.

Floor 11: Snow Hinox (4) Walk up to the middle 2 and slash once, then pick a side and time slashes to kill them 1 (or possibly 2) at a time, moving in a circle. If possible, equip the Fire Rod over bombs here.

Floor 12: Snow Zirro (6) Stand still and use the fire rod once to kill off 2. Move up slightly and fire rod again to kill another 2. Repeat for the last 2.

Floor 13: Ice Gimos (7) Stand in the middle and charge a Fire Rod shot facing up. When they wake, release to kill the top gimos. Wait a second to lure the rest towards the middle, then walk to the door and fire another shot facing down to kill the remaining 6.

Advanced (Rental Items/No Great Spin)

Goal: 6:20

Summary: During the first several floors it's extremely important to keep your sword beam. Sword beams aren't needed for the 36th floor on but are still helpful after the 40th floor.

Floor 1: Blob (21) You should have the Fire Rod and Tornado Rod equipped by now. Charge a spin attack immediately; the sword beam will kill the first blob. When the next 8 pop up, try and get at least 3 with it. Focus the 5 remaining blobs of that wave before dispatching the rest with slashes and beams.

Floor 2: Rat (12), Rope (12) Regular sword slashes and sword beams. I would advise charging a spin attack as the ropes are dropping to kill a corner of 3 immediately.

Floor 3: Keese (7) Regular sword slashes and sword beams.

Floor 4: Green Sword Soldier (10) Regular sword slashes and sword beams.

Floor 5: Armos (9) Slash the middle armos to wake the other 8. Charge a spin attack at the middle of the room and kill all of them at once.

Floor 6: Poe (4), Hyu (8) Regular sword slashes and sword beams for the poes. As the last poe dies, charge a spin attack to get as many hyus as possible. Kill the rest with sword slashes if they're near the middle, or spin attacks if they're near the edge.

Floor 7: Rupee Like (11) Aggro the left half of the room and kill them, then do the same for the right side.

Floor 8: Blue Tektite (5), Red Tektite (5) Walk to the bottom left 2 tektites and slash both red and blue. Every slash after that should be hitting the red tektite that jumps back from subsequent hits (or at least most hits). Just slash until the stragglers are dead.

Floor 9: Red Sword Soldier (4), Red Spear Soldier (4) Walk up and use the Tornado Rod, try to hit as many soldiers as possible. Make sure you kill the spear throwing soldiers before they scatter around.

Floor 10: 5 recovery hearts Heal to full.

Floor 11: Red Kodongo (7), Green Kodongo (4) Regular sword slashes and sword beams.

Floor 12: Slarok (8) Try to kill as many Slaroks as possible before they start shooting mud. Use regular sword slashes and sword beams.

Floor 13: Karat Crab (8), Ku (12) Regular sword slashes and sword beams, Kill the first two Kus then slash the third one that should spawn on the upper part of the room, stand against the door so you maintain full health and kill the rest.

Floor 14: Pengator (6) Kill the middle 2 pengators, then take out the others one side at a time.

Floor 15: Green Bari (6), Red Bari (6) Use the sword beams to kill them. If not with full health, slash as many of the baris you can closest to you before they electrify. The red biris that spawn have a very short electrify time at first, so you can kill those while witing for the other baris to be vunerable again. You should be able to kill the rest before the second electrify period, then dispatch the biris a moment later.

Floor 16: Green Goriya (5), Red Goriya (3) Walk down-left into the pit and then hold up-right until you respawn. When you respawn use the tornado rod to stun the 3 red goriyas. Knock them off the ledge, then slash the remaining green goriyas.

Floor 17: Blue Taros (8) Slash the 2 closest to you to push them back, then walk up to the group and Tornado Rod. Slash away.

Floor 18: Big Pengator (2) Immediately slash one of them so it won't slide around. Kill one before starting the other.

Floor 19: Gigabari (1) Regular sword slashes. Use the Fire Rod when it electrifies, then back to slashing. When it splits into biris, use the Fire Rod once to open a space in the middle of the group to unleash slashes from.

Floor 20: 3 recovery hearts Heal to full.

Floor 21: Dacto (8) Regular sword slashes and sword beams.

Floor 22: Dark Rat (10), Skullrope (10) Regular sword slashes and sword beams. Charge a spin attack in the middle of the room as the skullropes drop, then dispatch the rest with sword slashes and sword beams.

Floor 23: Vulture (7) Stay put and use sword beams to take out the far 5 vultures (6 if you get one of the ones closest to you quick enough). Wait for the last vulture or two to attack before slashing away. If not with full health, use the Ice Rod to hit them while in the air.

Floor 24: Blue Popo (1), Fire Wizzrobe (4) Regular sword slashes and sword beams.

Floor 25: Purple mini-moldorm (8) Mash sword to kill the first 2, then dispatch the rest with sword slashes and sword beams.

Floor 26: Green Eyegore (2), Blue Eyegore (2), Red Eyegore (2) Charge a spin attack to kill the green and blue eyegores, as well as damage the red ones. Two slashes per eyegore left to kill them.

Floor 27: Blue Sword Soldier (4), Blue Bow Soldier (4) Walk up, slashing the soldiers 2 at a time until you're at the door with 6 kills. The bow soldiers to the side will knock each other off the edge with their shots.

Floor 28: Gold Ball & Chain Soldier (1), Red Spear Soldier (4) Slash the gold ball & chain soldier 4 times to kill him, then slash away at the other soldiers.

Floor 29: Green Lynel (3) When the camera pans to show you the floor, take note of where the lynels are facing. Go for the lynel closest to you that is out of sight of the others and slash it off the edge. If you are still undetected, knocking the others off the edge should be easy. If not, you can try tanking the fire attacks to start pushing them back or wait it out.

Floor 30: 1 recovery heart Dash to pick up the heart on the way to the door.

Floor 31: Red Hardhat Beetle (7), Buzz Blob (4) Run to the middle and use Tornado Rod to catch most of the enemies. Slash up to kill 2 of the buzz blobs and a few beetles. Make sure you're perpendicular to the door so you don't fall off of the arena, then slash carefully at the remaining beetles. Use the sword beams to dispatch the remaining buzz blobs. If not with full health, use the Fire Rod. Equip the Lamp over the Tornado Rod before moving on to the next floor.

Floor 32: Light Ghini (6), Dark Ghini (6) It's important to have the lamp equipped for this floor. Hunt down all Ghinis with spin attacks and sword beams. Alternatively you can try to stun most Ghinis with the Tornado Rod.

Floor 33: Freezor (4) Head up until you aggro all freezors. Walk back down a bit and use diagonal Fire Rod shots to take out 2 at a time.

Floor 34: Chasupa (7), Sluggula (4) Charge a spin attack, walk up a bit and release before you get hit by anything. Take out the rest of the chasupas with sword slashes, and spin attack the remaining sluggulas if they didnt't get caught in your slashing flurry.

Floor 35: Blue Zazak (8) 1 recovery heart Stand in the middle and charge a spin attack. When all 8 get in range, release and charge another. Release again when they're in range to kill all 8.

Floor 36: Ropa (4), Snow Zirro (4) Slash once, then use the fire rod. Walk up to the middle, getting in a couple more slashes to kill 2 of the ropas and damage the other 2 (fire rod shot should have killed 2 zirros). Slash to kill the remaining ropas, getting in a Fire Rod shot to kill the remaining zirros when the timing is right. If with full health, take damage here.

Floor 37: Red Eyegore (8) Charge a spin attack facing south to hit all 8 eyegores, then slash away to kill them. Sword beams here disrupt the Eyegores' cycles, so don't come here with full health.

Floor 38: Ice Wizzrobe (4) Regular sword slashes.

Floor 39: Red Ball & Chain Soldier (1) Take 3-4 slashes to push him off the edge near the north door.

Floor 40: Recovery fairy Take the fairy if wanted; dash otherwise.

Floor 41: Red Taros (6), Zirro (4) Equip the Tornado Rod back over the Lamp. Run to the middle and Tornado Rod, then kill all the taroses. Slash the Zirros when they drop down to attack.

Floor 42: Stalfos (11) Lure as many stalfos possible into a Tornado Rod and kill them. Kill or send the remaining Stalfoses over the edge.

Floor 43: Grey Bari (4), Gold Bari (3) Kill the 4 grey baris right away (if possible), then use a combination of the Fire Rod and sword slashes to kill the gold baris (depending on if they're electrified or not). Note that you can delay their electrification if you slash them once. Alternatively, but not mandatory, if with full health, slash them with sword beams.

Floor 44: Big Ice Gimos (1) Mash Fire Rod to get a shot off, then walk up to the door.

Floor 45: Shield Moblin (5), Bomb Soldier (4) Kill the first 2 bomb soldiers, try to hit the Shield Moblins with sword slash while going from one soldier to another. Finish the other two Bomb soldiers at the top of the arena.

Floor 46: Red Zazak (8) Run to either side of the room in the middle and charge a spin attack facing the wall furthest from you. Kite as many zazaks as possible into your first spin, then try and charge a second. If you don't have the room or time anymore, regular slashes will suffice. Equip the Ice Rod over the Tornado Rod.

Floor 47: Gimos (3), Fire Gimos (3), Ice Gimos (3) Use the Fire Rod on the Ice Gimos, then slash the 3 in the middle. Freeze 2 Fire Gimos and push them off of the arena. Repeat the same process witht the remaining one. Finally melt the last Ice Gimos.

Floor 48: Lorule Spear Soldier (3), Lorule Bow Soldier (3) Hold right and charge a spin attack as soon as possible. Release when the soldiers get close to kill 2 or 3 of them. Tornado Rod and slash down the rest.

Floor 50: Purple Moldorm (Boss) Three spin attacks will end the fight.

Summary: Great Spin makes many floors of the tower quite trivial. If you got through the previous advanced course well enough this should be relaxing in comparison.
