Arbiter's Grounds (Twilight Princess)

Arbiter's Grounds is the fourth dungeon in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. It is located in Gerudo Desert, accessable from the cannon in Lake Hylia. The main item of the dungeon is the Spinner, the mini-boss is Death Sword and the boss is Stallord. To continue the dungeon, Link must chase down three poes using the "Poe's Scent" as a wolf (somewhat like the poe sisters in the Ocarina of Time). Along the way, he must also face undead monsters such as Stalkin, Stalfos, and Redeads.

Role in the story
Arbiter's Grounds is a prison where convicts are either executed or banished to the Twilight Realm, through the use of the Mirror of Twilight. It was the site of Ganondorf's death sentence by The Ancient Sages. Ganondorf escapes execution, but is banished to the Twilight Realm, where he gives Zant his kingship and powers of sorcery.

After receiving the Master Sword, Midna directs Link to Gerudo Desert as to enter the Twilight Realm. Upon reaching the climax of the prison roof, Midna and Link stumble across a massive beast skeleton, possibly referred to as "Stallord" when it was once alive. Zant revives Stallord by plunging a magic blade into it's skull. After the battle, Link and Midna enter the Mirror Chamber, only to find the mirror shattered. The Ancient Sages appear and explain to them the tale of Ganondorf's execution and that Zant shattered the mirror. After assembling the mirror, Midna and Link enter the Twilight Realm and defeat Zant. During the ending credits, Midna leaves Hyrule and goes back to the Twilight Realm, destroying the Mirror in the process.

While it is not known for sure, the Arbiter's Grounds could have some connection to the Spirit Temple from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, as they seem to share many architectural similarities (for example, the Gerudo Goddess of the Sand appears at the top of the Arbiter's Grounds and is also a prominent feature of the Spirit Temple) as well as their locations being both at the end of a collossus at the far end of the Gerudo Desert.It may be that the Arbiter's Grounds are partilally Fused with The Hyrulen eqivulent of Hell

Miscellaneous
There is a small glitch at the entrance to the Arbiter's Ground. The two sides of the entrance leading into the dungeon itself have two shelves that are climbable at a certain angle, once Link climbs onto one of these, and takes a step forward, places a bomb, turns into wolf Link, or makes any slight movement, the "falling sound" plays, and it will start you back at your last point, as if you fell into a void.
