Forest Temple (Twilight Princess): Difference between revisions

The '''Forest Temple''' is the first [[Dungeon]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. It is located at the far northeast ([[Nintendo Wii|Wii]]) of [[Faron Woods]], where a spiderweb is blocking the entrance. After [[Link]] has collected all of the [[Tears of Light]] and placed them into the [[Vessel of Light]], the [[Light Spirit]] [[Faron (Light Spirit)|Faron]] will reveal to Link the answer to why he was turned into a [[Wolf Link|blue-eyed beast]] in the [[Twilight]] while everyone else become mere spirits.{{Ref|TP|1330|[[Faron (Light Spirit)|Faron]]}} Faron reveals that Link is the chosen hero of the gods.{{Ref|TP|1337|[[Faron (Light Spirit)|Faron]]}} Faron continues to explain that him and the other light spirits hid away a forbidden power deep within the Faron Woods.{{Ref|TP|1339|[[Faron (Light Spirit)|Faron]]}}{{Ref|TP|1340|[[Faron (Light Spirit)|Faron]]}} However, he explains they Link must acquire this forbidden power in order to match the power of [[Zant]], the alleged King of Shadows.{{Ref|TP|1342|[[Faron (Light Spirit)|Faron]]}} He finishes his speech by telling Link that if he would seek this power, to head to the temple in the forest depths, also called the Forest Temple.{{Ref|TP|1343|[[Faron (Light Spirit)|Faron]]}}

This temple is home to numerous [[Monkey]]s, including the leader, [[Ook]], who has been possessed. After rescuing four of the monkeys from the first half of the dungeon, Link can swing, literally, to the home of Ook and fight him. Once defeated, Ook doesn't die, but instead a bug-like being that had possessed Ook dies. Ook, whose now a lot more cowardly and a lot less evil, runs away and leaves behind the [[Gale Boomerang]]. The Gale Boomernag will fly in the air towards Link, where the [[Fairy of Winds]] who resides in the boomerang{{Ref|TP|6588|[[Fairy of Winds]]}} will tell Link to take the boomerang and use it to aid his quest.{{Ref|TP|6590|[[Fairy of Winds]]}} Using the Gale Boomerang, Link can rescue the rest of the monkeys that have been captured and use them to gain entrance to the Boss Chamber, where [[Diababa]] awaits. Defeating Diababa will reward Link with the first piece of the Fused Shadow.

The [[Boss]] of the Forest Temple is known as the Twilit Parasite: Diababa. This parasite version of a standard [[Deku Baba]] is a corruption caused by the powerful Fused Shadows. Diababa can be defeated using a combination of [[Bombling]] attacks and Sword attacks. Ook will actually assist Link in this battle by providing Link with Bomblings after Diababa had destroyed the ones in the area. After Link has performed an [[Hidden Skills#Ending Blow|Ending Blow]] on Diababa, it will explode into a million tiny black spots. These spots will come together to form the first piece of the Fused Shadows. [[Midna]] will tell Link that this is what she has been looking for,{{Ref|TP|6544|[[Midna]]}} and urges him to continue in search of the rest.{{Ref|TP|6552|[[Midna]]}}

Link can find three chests that contain a [[Yellow Rupee]], which is worth 10 Rupees.{{Ref|TP|103|In-Game Description}} The other three are that can be found all contain a single [[Red Rupee]], which are worth 20 Rupees.{{Ref|TP|104|In-Game Description}} Therefore, Link can collect a total of 90 Rupees in the Dungeon from the Treasure Chests.
