Tower of Hera (A Link to the Past)

The Tower of Hera is the third dungeon of the Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. It is one of the three dungeons that house the Pendants of Virtue. Its pendant is the Pendant of Wisdom. It is the Light World equivalent of Ganon's Tower. It is probably named after the greek goddess, Hera.

Origins
The origins of the tower are unknown, but it is possible that Ganon built it, as it is in the same location as his tower in the Dark World. It may be the Tower of Flames in The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures.

Link's Role in the Tower
Link is trying to get the three Pendants of Virtue in order to obtain the Master Sword. The Tower of Hera is, according to Sahasrahla, the home of the third and final pendant.

Location
The tower is located on the summit of Death Mountain, just north of Spectacle Rock. The only way in is to travel to the Dark World and back using the Magic Mirror.

Within the Tower
The tower introduces crystal switches which raise and lower color coded blocks. Link solves several puzzles involving these while making his way up the tower. He also encounters six pointed star switches, which change the layout of the holes in the floor.

He finds the main treasure of the temple, the Moon Pearl. The Moon Pearl is actually a reddish transperant orb of unknown origin which allows it's holder to keep his true form in the dark world. Thus, Link doesn't turn into a pink rabbit anymore.
