The Faron Woods is a wooded location in both Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword.

Appearances

Twilight Princess

In Twilight Princess, Faron Woods is located just to the north of the Ordona Province and is linked by a bridge that leads the Faron Province into the Ordona Province. It is looked over by the guardian Light Spirit, Faron who resembles a lemur or a monkey. The first Dungeon of the game, the Forest Temple, is located at the deepest part of the Faron Woods. This area is mainly woodland as the name suggests. Common enemies that can be found in this area include; Bokoblins, Deku Babas and Keese.

Story

During the events of Twilight Princess, Link first enters the Faron Woods after Talo goes off in pursuit of the Monkey who had previously stolen Uli's Cradle. In this sequence Link will briefly pass through the southern Faron Province. In this area, Link can talk to Coro, who will give Link the Lantern. When continuing on through the cave Link will go through the northern section where he will have find the key to gain further access towards the Forest Temple. Once reaching the entrance of the temple, Link will find Talo and the Monkey in a cage with a Bokoblin guarding the area.

Later on in the first section of the game Link will have to restore light to the Faron Province, as now the Shadow Beasts have took the light from the Light Spirit, Faron. Link is tasked with capturing the sixteen Tears of Light by Ordona. These Tears of Light will be scattered across the Faron Province and the Faron Woods. Once the light has been restored to the province, Link now in Hylian form will be able to advance to the Forest Temple. Upon arriving he is seemingly attacked by a Golden Wolf. This will in fact be the Hero's Shade, who throughout the events of the game will teach Link certain skills. The first Hidden Skill he teaches Link is the Ending Blow and is the only compulsory skill that Link will have to learn.

When Link first enters Eldin Province, he will notice that the bridge is missing, connecting the two sides of the Gorge. Link at Midna's request will have to warp back to Faron Woods in order to investigate. However the bridge is conveniently located near the warp point, Link will now be able to use Midna's powers to return the bridge to Kakariko Gorge. Later on in the game Link will have to find the missing Sky Characters scattered across Hyrule. One of the characters will be hidden within the southern section of Faron Woods. After this section of the game there is no need to return to Faron Woods to progress the game.

Sections

This area is split up into three sections; the northern section, southern section and the Faron Swamp. South Faron Woods is home to the Faron Spring as well as Coro's Lantern shop. It is also home to one of the six Sky Characters hidden across Hyrule. The North section is mainly deserted and it is home to Trill's shop as well as connecting to the Forest Temple and the Sacred Grove. The middle section is home to a swamp area. Earlier on in the game during the prologue, Link has to find a key here in order to advance to North Faron Woods. However later on in the game the swamp is filled with a poisonous purple fog, changing the dynamic of the area.

In Skyward Sword, it is one of the four major regions of the game (the others are The Sky, Eldin Volcano and Lanayru Desert). It is the first major region Link visits while searching for Zelda. Faron Woods covers most of the Faron Province. The Kikwi inhabit the Faron Woods. It connects to the Sealed Grounds, Lake Floria and Deep Woods. The Water Dragon protects the Faron Woods along with the surrounding areas. Many species of flora and mushrooms thrive throughout the region due to the many water sources such as Lake Floria. The Great Tree towers over Faron Woods.
