Phantom Hourglass

This article is about the item. For the game, see Phantom Hourglass.

Template:Item The Phantom Hourglass is an item appearing in the game of the same name. It is needed to navigate through the deeper sections of the Temple of the Ocean King due to its power to repel the dungeon's life-draining curse.

Properties

The Hourglass' timer starts upon beginning the Temple of the Ocean King, and counts down as long as you are not standing in a Safe Zone or any of several special rooms in the dungeon. If struck by a Phantom, one minute is lost. If time runs out, the player will take damage when outside of Safe Zones.

The Phantom Hourglass contains Sand of Hours, a substance made of Force Gems of the Ocean King. It initially contains 10 minutes worth of sand, but its capacity can be increased by defeating the bosses, which yields 2 additional minutes of sand, and by finding sand in underwater chests, which yield 1 additional minute of sand. Pickups can be found within the Temple of the Ocean King to replenish the Sand of Hours by 30 seconds. These are scattered throughout the dungeon's many floors in set locations and are dropped by Wizzrobes.

The Phantom Hourglass' power can only restored by sunlight, therefore the resets upon leaving the dungeon.

How to Acquire

The Phantom Hourglass is automatically acquired upon returning to the Temple of the Ocean King after completing the Temple of Fire. A brief conversation between Link, Ciela, and Linebeck will occur on what to do to overcome the dungeon's curse. Oshus will then appear and tell Link to claim the Phantom Hourglass sitting atop a pedestal in the Temple of the Ocean King's lobby.
