[[Link (Twilight Princess)|Link]] acquires the Dominion Rod in the [[Temple of Time (Dungeon)|Temple of Time]], after defeating the [[Mini-Boss]], a [[Darknut]]. It can be used to control statues, such as the [[Ancient Statue]] found in the Temple of Time or the [[Owl Statue]]s found across Hyrule. Once these statues have been controlled, they move exactly as their master, who in this case is Link.{{Ref|TP|1256|In-game description}}{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia|Hyrule Historia]]'', pg. 196|[The Dominion Rod] causes statues to copy Link's movements, making the rod an unusual item.}}{{Ref|pg. 22|With [the Dominion Rod], you can bring life to certain inanimate objects then have them follow your every move.|''[[Nintendo Power Twilight Princess Strategy Guide]]''}} The main use of this is to move the statues to a new location, which is the premise behind most of the puzzles that involve the Dominion Rod. | ||
