The Hourglass' timer starts upon beginning the Temple of the Ocean King, and counts down as long as you are not standing in a [[Safe Zone]] or any of several special rooms in the dungeon. If struck by a [[Phantom]], one minute is lost. If time runs out, the player will take damage when outside of Safe Zones.<ref>{{Cite|PH|1602|Oshus}}</ref>

The Phantom Hourglass contains [[Sand of Hours]], a substance made of [[Force Gem|Force Gems]] of the [[Ocean King]].<ref>{{Cite|PH|1606|Oshus}}</ref> It initially contains 10 minutes worth of sand, but its capacity can be increased by defeating the bosses, which yields 2 additional minutes of sand, and by finding sand in underwater chests, which yield 1 additional minute of sand. Its maximum capacity is 25 minutes. Pickups can be found within the Temple of the Ocean King to replenish the Sand of Hours by 30 seconds. These are scattered throughout the dungeon's many floors in set locations and are dropped by [[Wizzrobe|Wizzrobes]].
