The Temple of Time in Ocarina of Time is located in the northeastern section of the Hyrule Castle Town Market. Princess Zelda tells Link after he has collected all of the Spiritual Stones to go to the Temple and play the Song of Time in order to open the Door of Time. After placing the all three Spiritual Stones on the altar and playing the song, the Door of Time will open revealing the Pedestal of Time along with the Master Sword. From here on out, Link can go in and out of the Temple to go either forwards or backwards in time.
Twilight Princess
- Main article: Temple of Time (Dungeon)
The Temple of Time has appeared as a dungeon and a location in Twilight Princess. This Temple is crawling with enemies. The Mini-boss for the Temple of Time is a Darknut; an enemy engulfed in dark armor carrying a large sword and shield. Once Link vanquishes it, he's rewarded with the dungeon item, the Dominion Rod. The boss of the Temple of Time is Armogohma; an incredibly over-sized arachnid with a large eye accompanied by several smaller ones. Once Link conquers this boss, he's rewarded with a Heart Container and the third Mirror Shard.
Skyward Sword
In Skyward Sword, the Temple of Time is located in Lanayru Desert. It's entrance was originally blocked off causing Link to go through the Lanayru Mining Facility as an alternative route. Upon entering the Temple, Link confronts Impa and Zelda, but is soon interrupted by Ghirahim's pursuit for Zelda's body. A large battle ensues ending with the Gate of Time being destroyed, and everyone but Link leaving their separate ways. Before Zelda leaves through the before broken Gate of Time, she bestows the Goddess Harp unto Link.
