To enter the Water Temple without a Hookshot, navigate to the house near the lake, position Link as far into the corner of the house as possible without being pushed out, then turn around and perform a backflip to gain access to the interior, or alternatively, complete the “Sidon of the Zora” quest to obtain the Zora Armor, which allows Link to swim up waterfalls and access the temple. This method requires precise positioning and timing to successfully enter the Water Temple without the use of a Hookshot or Iron Boots.
