The Temple of Time is a recurring location in The Legend of Zelda series. Constructed in the same place as the Temple of Light in the Sacred Realm, it was created to keep evil beings from touching the Master Sword, the gateway to the realm. The Temple itself was built around the Pedestal of Time in which the Master Sword is embedded.

Ocarina of Time

The Temple of Time in Ocarina of Time is located in the northeastern section of the Hyrule Castle Town Market.

After Link has collected all the Spiritual Stones, Princess Zelda tells Link to go to the Temple and play the Song of Time with the Ocarina of Time in order to open the Door of Time. Placing all the three Spiritual Stones on the altar and playing the song will open the Door of Time, and reveal the Pedestal of Time along with the Master Sword. From here on out, Link can go in and out of the Temple to go either forward or backward in time.

It also contains a Triforce Pedestal, which can be warped to once Sheik teaches Link the Prelude of Light.

Twilight Princess

Main article: Temple of Time (Dungeon)

The Temple of Time appears as a dungeon and a location in Twilight Princess. This dungeon is located deep within the Sacred Grove. During Link's second visit, he will be able to explore a new area. This area is above the original area where Link had to previously solve the puzzle. There will be a door with a Sacred Grove Guardians blocking the entrance. Link will have to thrust the Master Sword back into its original pedestal to remove the guardian. This will make the door and entrance to the Temple of Time accessible.

This Temple is crawling with enemies. The mini-boss for the Temple of Time is a Darknut; an enemy engulfed in dark armor carrying a large sword and shield. Once Link vanquishes it, he is rewarded with the dungeon item, the Dominion Rod. The boss of the Temple of Time is Armogohma; an incredibly oversized arachnid with a large eye accompanied by several smaller ones. Once Link conquers this boss, he is rewarded with a Heart Container and the third Mirror Shard.

Skyward Sword

In Skyward Sword, an earlier incarnation of the Temple of Time - predating even the Master Sword - is located in Lanayru Desert. An open-air temple with a Gate of Time, Link chases Impa and Zelda there, but the reunion is interrupted by Ghirahim. The two women flee to the past through the Gate and destroy it behind them, but not before Zelda bestows the Goddess's Harp to Link.

Breath of the Wild

Main article: Temple of Time (Breath of the Wild)

A Temple of Time resembling the one from Ocarina of Time appears on the Great Plateau in Breath of the Wild, but has been largely destroyed by the Calamity.

It reappears in Tears of the Kingdom as the Temple of Time Ruins, in still further disrepair. It should not be confused with the Temple of Time on Great Sky Island (below).

Tears of the Kingdom

Another Temple of Time is on Great Sky Island in The Sky. Link learns the Recall ability there, allowing him to rewind an object's status through time.
