The '''Forest Temple''' is the first [[Dungeon]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. It is located at the far Northeast ([[Nintendo Wii|Wii]]) of [[Faron Woods]], where a spiderweb is blocking the entrance. After restoring light to the [[Faron Province]], the [[Light Spirit]] [[Faron (Light Spirit)|Faron]] will tell [[Link]] that he needs a dark power, the [[Fused Shadow]]s<ref>{{Cite|TP|1339|[[Faron (Light Spirit)|Faron]]}}</ref>, in order to defeat [[Zant]], the alleged King of Shadows.<ref>{{Cite|TP|1342|[[Faron (Light Spirit)|Faron]]}}</ref> The Fused Shadows have been scattered across [[Hyrule]], and the first rests deep in the Faron Woods, in the Forest Temple.<ref>{{Cite|TP|1343|[[Faron (Light Spirit)|Faron]]}}</ref>

This temple is home to numerous [[Monkey]]s, 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 the bug-like being that possessed him dies. Ook runs away and leaves behind the [[Gale Boomerang]]. Using the Gale Boomerang, Link rescues the rest of the monkeys that have been captured and use them to gain entrance to the Boss Chamber, where [[Diababa]] awaits.

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.

[[File:Ook.png|125px|right|thumb|Ook, the mini-boss of the Dungeon]]

The [[Mini-Boss]] of the Forest Temple is known as Ook, leader of the monkeys. Gaining access to the Mini-Boss room require Link to free three monkeys 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. After Link has defeated Ook, he will appear to be very confused as to his surroundings, and once he sees Link he will proceed to exit the room and leave 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]].

[[File:diababa.jpg|left|thumb|The Boss of the Forest Temple, Diababa]]

The [[Boss]] of the Forest Temple is known as [[Diababa|Twilit Parasite: Diababa]]. This parasite version of the standard [[Deku Baba]] is a corruption caused by the powerful Fused Shadows. Diababa can be defeated using a combination of [[Bombling]] attacks and Sword attacks. Ook will actually assist Link in this battle by providing Link with Bombling after Diababa had destroyed the ones in the area. After Link has performed an [[Ending Blow]] on Diababa, it will explode into a million tiny black spots. These spots will come together to form the first piece of the Fused Shadows. [[Midna]] will tell Link that this is what she has been looking for, and urges him to continue in search of the rest.

The [[Dungeon Map]] is a very useful item, one of the more useful items in the game. It will show [[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, [[Link]] will see four unlit torches on each corner of the altar-like area. If he lights them all up with his [[Lantern]], stairs will appear in front leading to a platform that was previously unreachable. On this platform, there is a chest on the to the left (Wii) or right (GCN). Inside this chest is the Dungeon Map.

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|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 [[Treasure Chest|chest]], which will oddly enough land right in the middle of the altar-like area.

[[File:ImagesCAWFCURQ.jpg|right|250px|thumb|The 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. From the start, go through the first room and enter the second room. Go up the stairs and go left (Wii) or right (GCN) 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 will open the gates, allowing Link the opportunity to open the chest and gain the Big Key

There are four [[Small Key]]s that can be found throughout the Forest Temple. Three of them can be found in a [[Treasure Chest]], while the other one can be collected after defeating a [[Big Baba]], whom 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.

Throughout the Forest Temple, there are fourteen total [[Treasure Chest]]s that can be found throughout the dungeon. They contain many different items that include [[Rupee]]s, Dungeon Items, and [[Piece of Heart|Pieces of Heart]].

Out of the 14 [[Treasure Chest]]s in the Forest Temple, six of them contain Rupees. Link can find three chests that contain a [[Yellow Rupee]], which is worth 10 Rupees. The other three are that can be found all contain a single [[Red Rupee]], which are worth 20 [[Rupee]]s. Therefore, Link can collect a total of 90 Rupees in the Dungeon.

There are four different Dungeon Items found in the Forest Temple. These include the [[Dungeon Map]], the [[Compass]], the [[Big Key]], and four [[Small Key]]s. 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 Key]]s, which is found on the floor after defeating a specific [[Big Baba]].

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 one requires a [[Bombling]] to get, while the other requires the [[Gale Boomerang]].
