Once Link enters the Forest Temple, it is quickly apparent that the temple is home to numerous Monkeys, including the leader, [[Ook]], who has been possessed.{{Ref|''Ook Twilight Princess Trading Card''|It turns out Ook is really a friendly baboon, but fell under the influence of a parasite-ridden insect that attached itself to his brain.|Card Description}} After rescuing four of the monkeys from the first half of the dungeon, Link can swing, literally, to the location of Ook and fight him. Once defeated, Ook doesn't die, but instead a bug-like being that had possessed Ook dies. Ook, who is now a lot more cowardly and a lot less evil, runs away and leaves behind the [[Gale Boomerang]]. The Gale Boomerang immediately reacts to its release, by flying in the air towards Link, where the [[Fairy of Winds]] who resides in the boomerang{{Ref|TP|6588|[[Fairy of Winds]]}} asks 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 rewards Link with the first piece of the Fused Shadow.

The [[Mini-Boss]] of the Forest Temple is [[Ook]], the leader of the monkeys.{{Ref|''Gale Boomerang Twilight Princess Trading Card''|Ook, the baboon boss, must be defeated to obtain [the Gale Boomerang].|Card Description}}{{Ref|''Ook Twilight Princess Trading Card''|Ook is a crazy baboon who is the monkey leader of Faron Woods...|Card Description}} Gaining access to the Mini-Boss room requires Link to free four monkeys from their cages and use them to swing over the large gap between the main dungeon and the chamber where Ook lies. There was previously a bridge spanning across the gap, but Ook cut it off with the Gale Boomerang. During the battle, Ook uses the Gale Boomerang to release [[Baba Serpent]]s that are hanging from the ceiling. They can be quickly defeated by slaying them both with a [[Spin Attack]]; otherwise, they act as more of an obstacle, and thus should be avoided. After Link has defeated Ook, Ook appears to be very confused as to his surroundings, and once he sees Link he exits the room and leaves behind the Gale Boomerang for Link to collect.{{Ref|''Ook Twilight Princess Trading Card''|Defeating Ook will allow Link to take possession of the boomerang.|Card Description}} With the Gale Boomerang in hand, Link can travel even further into the dungeon as he continues his search for a part of the Fused Shadow.

The [[Boss]] of the Forest Temple is known as the [[Diababa|Twilit Parasite: Diababa]]. This parasitic version of a standard [[Deku Baba]] is a 3-headed mutation{{Ref|name=DiababaTC}} caused by the powerful Fused Shadow. Diababa can be defeated using a combination of [[Bombling]] attacks and Sword attacks. Ook, at one point an enemy, actually assists Link in this battle by providing Link with Bomblings{{Ref|''Twilit Parasite: Diababa Twilight Princess Trading Card''|Link can defeat [Diababa] only with the help of Ook and his bomblings.|Card Description}} after Diababa destroys the ones in the area. After Link has performed an [[Hidden Skills#Ending Blow|Ending Blow]] on Diababa, it explodes into a million tiny black spots. These spots come together to form the first piece of the Fused Shadow. [[Midna]] tells 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]]}} With that, the Forest Temple is completed.

Out of the 14 Treasure Chests in the Forest Temple, six of them contain Rupees. Link can find three chests that contain a [[Rupee|Yellow Rupee]], which is worth ten Rupees.{{Ref|TP|103|In-Game Description}} The other three that can be found all contain a single [[Rupee|Red Rupee]], which is worth 20 Rupees.{{Ref|TP|104|In-Game Description}} Therefore, Link can collect a total of 90 Rupees in this dungeon from the Treasure Chests. He can certainly acquire more from grass, pots, enemies, etc.
