Earth Temple (The Wind Waker)

Template:Dungeon The Earth Temple is the fifth dungeon from The Wind Waker. Link first goes here to power up the Master Sword after its power was drained due to the demise of the ancient sages. It can only be accessed under a large stone using Power Bracelets on top of Headstone Island.

Story

The Earth Temple was originally located on a mountaintop in Hyrule, which is now beneath the ocean. After Link obtains the Power Bracelets from Fire Mountain, he can then lift the stone in front of the entrance to the Earth Temple. Upon his first visit, he finds a large tablet with directions for the Wind Waker written on it. The directions are for a song known as the Earth God's Lyric, which can be used to awaken the next Earth Sage. After playing this song, Link meets Laruto, the previous Earth Sage.

Later, Link will return with Medli, the new Earth Sage. Link and Medli must work together to make their way through the dungeon. Medli has the ability to fly and carry Link to high up places, and she can also use her harp to reflect light. The item of this dungeon is the Mirror Shield, and it is received after defeating three Stalfos. Link must use it to solve light puzzles, and sometimes use it combined with Medli's harp to form intricate highways of light. Some time through the dungeon, Medli may be captured by Floormasters and forced into a cage, which she can then fly out of.

The boss of the dungeon is Jalhalla. Link must defeat him using the Mirror Shield and Power Bracelets. At the end, Link will conduct with The Wind Waker while Medli and Laruto play Earth God's Lyric on the harp to partially power up the Master Sword.

Characteristics

The dungeon contains mostly undead enemies. They will occasionally pop out of coffins to attack. There is also a purple mist that can temporarily prevent Link from using any items. Light puzzles are common, including statues that can only be destroyed by beams of light or mirrors that can reflect them into the eyes of a large, solar-powered sun.
