The Haunted Wasteland is a location in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It is a desert-like region, on the western border of Hyrule that connects the Gerudo's Fortress with the Desert Colossus. Monsters, quicksand and near perpetual sandstorms make this region extremely dangerous to travelers so little is known about its geography. Even the desert adept Gerudo rarely travel this far into the desert. Stone structures out in the distance indicate that the wastelands may have once held civilization but now all that remain are ruins and bleached bones.
Description[]
The Haunted Wasteland is plagued by a fierce sandstorm that makes it extremely hard to see, particularly at night; if Link goes the wrong way, he'll get lost and respawn at whichever side the player entered the area from. He must overcome two trials to get through the area, the first of which is the River of Sand, a shifting pool of quicksand that swallows him up if he tries to walk across it. To get past it, he must use either the Hover Boots or the Longshot, then follow a series of flag poles. There is a carpet merchant near the flags who sells Bombchu for 200 Rupees.
Eventually, Link comes to a plateau where he can nab another Gold Skulltula token and faces the second trial, the Phantom Guide, a Poe that can only be seen using the Lens of Truth who will lead him to the Desert Colossus, but won't show him the way back.
