Twilight Princess Walkthrough Chapter 4: Forest Temple |
The Forest Temple is the first dungeon in Twilight Princess. It is located at the far northeast (Wii) of Faron Woods, where a spiderweb blocks the entrance. The dungeon itself seems to be within the grounds of large withered tree, reminiscent of the first dungeon of Ocarina of Time. The main theme of this dungeon, like the name suggests, is the forest. Furthermore, the dungeon holds many of the same enemies found in and around the Faron Woods; a forest.
Story
After Link has collected all of the Tears of Light and placed them into the Vessel of Light, the Light Spirit Faron reveals to Link the answer to why he was turned into a blue-eyed beast in the Twilight while everyone else become mere spirits.[2] Faron reveals that Link is the chosen hero of the gods.[3] Faron tells Link that he and the other light spirits hid away a forbidden power deep within the Faron Woods.[4][5] However, he pleads Link to acquire this forbidden power, as it is the only way to match the power of Zant, the alleged King of Shadows.[6] He finishes his speech by telling Link that if he would seek this power, to head to the temple in the forest depths, the temple known as the Forest Temple.[7]
This temple is home to numerous Monkeys, 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, who is now a lot more cowardly and a lot less evil, runs away and leaves behind the Gale Boomerang. The Gale Boomernag immediately reacts, by flying in the air towards Link, where the Fairy of Winds who resides in the boomerang[8] asks Link to take the boomerang and use it to aid his quest.[9] 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.
Enemies
Being the first dungeon of the game, the enemies found throughout the Forest Temple are some of the most basic enemies in the entire game. Most are easily defeated with a single swing of Link's Sword. The enemies found are listed below.
Ook
- Main article: Ook
The Mini-Boss of the Forest Temple is Ook, the leader of the monkeys.[10] 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 Serpents 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. 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.
Twilit Parasite: Diababa
- Main article: Diababa
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 Shadow. Diababa can be defeated using a combination of Bombling attacks and Sword attacks. Ook actually assists Link in this battle by providing Link with Bomblings after Diababa destroys the ones in the area. After Link has performed an 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,[11] and urges him to continue in search of the rest.[12] With that, the Forest Temple is completed.
Dungeon Items
The Forest Temple holds much of the same Dungeon Items featured in dungeons throughout The Legend of Zelda series. These items include the Dungeon Map, the Compass, the Big Key, and Small Keys.
Dungeon Map
- Main article: Dungeon Map
The Dungeon Map is a very useful item, one of the more useful items in the game. It shows Link the entire make-up of the Forest Temple, thus preventing Link from ever getting lost. It can be found in the second room from the start of the dungeon. At the top of the stairs in this room, there are four unlit torches on each corner of the altar-like area. If Link lights them all up with his Lantern, stairs appear in front of him, leading to a platform that was previously unreachable. On this platform, there is a chest to the left (Wii). Inside this chest is the Dungeon Map.
Compass
- Main article: Compass
The Compass is the second of the four Dungeon Items found in the Forest Temple. It shows Link the exact location of every Treasure Chest, every trapped Monkey, and the location of the Boss on his map. It is found in the second room of the dungeon, the same room the Dungeon Map is in. The Gale Boomerang is required to get the compass, as the chest that houses it is suspended in midair by a spiderweb. The Gale Boomerang is the only item that Link can use to cut the web, allowing him access to the chest, which oddly enough lands right in the middle of the altar-like area.
Big Key
- Main article: Big Key
The Big Key is the one and only key that Link can use to unlock the door that leads to the area where Diababa lurks. In order to reach the location of the Boss Key, head, from the entrance, through the first room and enter the second room. Go up the stairs and go left (Wii) over the gap using a monkey. Follow the path until Link reaches a gate that blocks access to the chest behind it. Link can use the Gale Boomerang to activate the windmills in a specific order specified by the pattern on the floor. Doing so correctly opens the gates, allowing Link the opportunity to open the chest and gain the Big Key.
Small Keys
- Main article: Small Key
There are four Small Keys that can be found throughout the Forest Temple. Three of them can be found in a Treasure Chest, while the last one can be collected after defeating a Big Baba, who had previously swallowed it. The keys are used to either open an individual monkey's jail cell, or to unlock a door to advance further in the dungeon. Either way, they are required to complete the dungeon.
Treasure Chests
Throughout the Forest Temple, there are 14 total Treasure Chests that can be found throughout the dungeon. They contain many different items that include Rupees, Dungeon Items, and Pieces of Heart.
Rupees
Out of the 14 Treasure Chests in the Forest Temple, six of them contain Rupees. Link can find three chests that contain a Yellow Rupee, which is worth ten Rupees.[13] The other three that can be found all contain a single Red Rupee, which is worth 20 Rupees.[14] 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.
Dungeon Items
There are four different Dungeon Items found in the Forest Temple. These include the Dungeon Map, the Compass, the Big Key, and four Small Keys. Six of these items can be found in Treasure Chests throughout the dungeon. The only one that is not found in a Treasure Chest is one of the Small Keys, which is found on the floor after defeating a specific Big Baba.
Pieces of Heart
- Main article: Twilight Princess Heart Pieces
Two Pieces of Heart can be found in the Forest Temple. These are the second and third Pieces of Heart that can be found in the game. The first is found in the staircase cavern. Link can drop a Bombling on top of the lower-level Deku Like to reveal the treasure chest containing the piece behind it. The second is in a room with several Tile Worms. After getting the Gale Boomerang, go back to this room and target the two lit torches. Blow both of them out, and the entire large staircase recedes, allowing Link to open the chest behind it.
Trivia
- The Forest Temple found in Twilight Princess is the second of three dungeons that are called the Forest Temple in The Legend of Zelda series. Other dungeons include the fourth dungeon in Ocarina of Time and the first dungeon in Spirit Tracks.
- The Kokiri Symbol, which is prominently found on the Deku Shield, is found on each door throughout the Forest Temple in Twilight Princess.[15]
