Pillar Switches – Legend of Zelda Walkthrough

Go back to the main room and hop on the platform in the center of the room. Above you will notice a chest hanging from the ceiling, a perfect target for your boomerang. Inside the chest you will obtain a compass. Swing over to the door on the left by using the monkey swinging trick. This room is familiar from earlier so cross the pits to the door that was locked earlier.

There is a bridge to the left of the door that you should cross.  There are four switches on the pillars that you have to lock onto in a certain sequence in order to work. Start with the pillar on the right closest to the door. Next is the pillar straight across and third directly diagonal from that. Your fourth pillar to select is the one on the bottom left.

Release your boomerang and if the order is correct, the gate will open. Behind the gate is a big chest containing a big key. Grab the key and drop down into the water on the right. Go into the small tunnel on the side of the wall and you’ve just snagged yourself a yellow rupee.
