Sacred Grove: Difference between revisions

The '''Sacred Grove''' is a location that appears exclusively in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. It serves as a portal between it and the [[Temple of Time (Dungeon)|Temple of Time]]. The Sacred Grove was once the Temple of Time, but over the long years, trees grew, and the temple grew old, turning it into ruins. The only thing left after this was the [[Pedestal of Time]], which holds the [[Master Sword]]. Common enemies encountered in this area include [[Puppet]]s, who attack in groups of four and respawn once they are defeated.  

During the game, [[Zant]] casts a spell on [[Link]], transforming him into a beast, meaning Link is now stuck in [[Wolf Link|Wolf]] form. In order to return to normal, Link must obtain the Master Sword, ''the blade of evil's bane.'' Link will be tasked to reaching this place by going through the forest. Once investigating a [[Monkey]] will be running away from a group of [[Puppet]]s, once Link has defeated the Puppets the Monkey will hint at to what is deep within the woods. Using [[Midna]]s jump feature, Link will be able to reach the [[Deep Gorge]]. Once navigating through this area he will come upon the entrance to the Sacred Grove. After howling near the [[Triforce]] mark it will make the [[Skull Kid]] appear, Link must chase the Skull Kid through the puzzling forest. After hitting the Skull Kid enough times he will make a new path appear leading to a new area. Here Link is put to a test by the [[Sacred Grove Guardians]]. After Link solves the puzzle, the path to the Master Sword is revealed, and the evil inside Link will be purged due to the presence of the Master Sword. Link will now be able to draw the Master Sword from the pedestal.  

Later on in the game Link will have to return to these Sacred Grounds.  His goal this time around, is to find the portal leading to the Temple of Time. [[Rusl]] will tell Link about an ancient temple hidden deep within the forest. After meeting Rusl in the [[Faron Woods]], he will call upon his partner, a [[Golden Cucco]]. Link now in [[Hylian]] form will have to use the Cucco to traverse across the Gorge. Once Link enters the Sacred Grove for the second time, he will again be greeted by the Skull Kid. When Link has navigated his way through the puzzling woods he will be able to access a new area. This area will, lead Link up onto a section looking over the grounds. A dormant Sacred Grove Guardian will be blocking the path, Link will have to strike the pedestal with the Master Sword to remove the guardian. The door will be the entrance to the [[Temple of Time]].
