Changes: Ocean Temple

Revision as of 00:34, 19 January 2013

Template:Stamp Template:Dungeons The Sand Temple is a temple in Spirit Tracks.

Entrance to the Temple

Sand Temple Entrance — The entrance to the Sand Temple.

The dungeon is located within the desert in the Sand Realm, north of the Ocean Realm. After Link manages to restore the rails that lead to the temple, he must go through three trials in order to reach his destination: the big eye that looms in the shadows, the twisted tunnel, and the impenetrable fortress. The first trial is a replica of the fight against Rocktite, fought previously in a cave southwest of the Snow Realm; the second trial regards crossing a maze similar to the Lost Woods, and the third trial is beaten by destroying the turrets adhered to the external walls of the temple.

Themes and Navigation

Sand Temple Block Push — Link pushing a heavy object with the Sand Wand.

Sand Temple Puzzle — Link solving a puzzle in the Sand Temple with the Sand Wand.

In some ways, the dungeons is mildly reminiscent of Mutoh's Temple from Phantom Hourglass, not only because it's a pyramid as well, but also because of the inner decoration, though the environment is lighter in tone.

The dungeon forces Link to manipulate sand in order to solve the various traps and puzzles as well as find hidden objects buried within. To do so, the young hero must look for the temple's main item, which is the Sand Wand (guarded by three Stalfos Warriors). The temple is also home to many undead Stalfos as well as sand enemies known as Gerune that are immune to all attacks until being hardened with the power of the Sand Wand. With the same item, Link can use sand to solve block puzzles that open special doors.

The resident boss is Skeldritch, a semi-metallic living column armored with cannons that shoot giant rocks. Rather than restore power to the Tower of Spirits, like the other temples within Hyrule, the Sand Temple's sole purpose is to protect a powerful weapon known as the Bow of Light.

Trivia

In the PAL version of the game, the dungeon is titled Desert Temple, which is consistent with the fact that the rabbits from the Sand Realm are actually named Desert Rabbits.

-The temple is located in the northeastern section of the [[Ocean Realm]], with only a small part of the top of the structure protruding above the surface of the ocean's waves as the vast majority of the temple extends beneath the surface, all the way to the ocean floor. The temple's main entrance is located on the ocean floor and can only be accessed by traveling the [[Spirit Tracks (Rails)|Spirit Tracks]] though a special portal that leads from the surface to the ocean floor and ultimately to the temple's entrance beneath the surface.

-After repairing the bridge that leads from the [[Forest Realm]] to the [[Ocean Realm]], done by finding the [[Ocean Rail Map]] in the [[Tower of Spirits]], Link is able to meet with the Realm's guardian [[Lokomo]], [[Carben]], and together, they are able to restore the bulk of the realm's lost Spirit Tracks in order for Link to reach the Ocean Temple and investigate the disturbance with the temple's energy flow to the Tower of Spirits. Traveling around the Ocean Realm, Link activates three special [[crystal]] switches with the sound of his train whistle, opening the gateway that leads to the [[Ocean Floor]] and thus the underwater entrance of the Ocean Temple. Battling two evil trains (an [[Armored Train]] and a [[Dark Train]]) and a multitude of [[Octorok]]s, Link is eventually able to reach the Ocean Temple's entrance.

-===Overview===

+[[File:Sand Temple Puzzle.png|thumb|right|Link solving a puzzle in the Sand Temple with the Sand Wand.]]
+In some ways, the dungeons is mildly reminiscent of [[Mutoh's Temple]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'', not only because it's a pyramid as well, but also because of the inner decoration, though the environment is lighter in tone.
-Contrary to its name and location, the temple is actually devoid of water, except in the entrance area and the boss arena, making it similar in this aspect to [[Hyrule Castle]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' and [[Misery Mire]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', as both places are dry despite being located underwater. After battling a [[Snapper (Spirit Tracks)|Snapper]], Link discovers the temple's main treasure, the [[Whip]], which ultimately proves to be invaluable as he continues his exploration of the temple in search of the cause of the temple's disturbance.
-[[File:Ocean Temple Puzzle.png|thumb|right|Link pulling a wall rope in the temple using the Whip.]]
-Working his way into the upper levels of the temple, Link eventually discovers the [[Boss Key]] and is able to get it to the Boss door, thus unlocking the passageway leading to the temple's top where the energy beacon can be found. The part of the temple above the surface shows a small portion of the cylindrical top of the temple rising above the surface and surrounded by a circular infrastructure of stone. Finally Link finds his way to the roof of the temple and discovers the Barbed Menace [[Phytops]]. Using the Whip, Link is able to destroy the immense plant and reclaim the temple's stolen [[Force Gem]], restoring it to the temple's energy beacon resting in Phytops's pool and thus restoring the energy flow between the temple and the Tower of Spirits.
-Notably, the [[Stamp Station]] is more difficult to collect in this temple than in the others. Link must discover a hidden room north of the second floor using [[bomb]]s, then use the boomerang in the eastern side of this room to activate a switch, and then the whip to reach the stamp's spot in the western side.
+The dungeon forces Link to manipulate [[sand]] in order to solve the various traps and puzzles as well as find hidden objects buried within. To do so, the young hero must look for the temple's main item, which is the [[Sand Wand]] (guarded by three [[Stalfos#Size and Strength|Stalfos Warriors]]). The temple is also home to many undead [[Stalfos]] as well as sand enemies known as [[Gerune]] that are immune to all attacks until being hardened with the power of the Sand Wand. With the same item, Link can use sand to solve block puzzles that open special doors.
-===Force Gem===
-After Link beats the [[Fire Temple (Spirit Tracks)|Fire Temple]] and previously transports [[Ferrus]] from a part of the [[Snow Realm]] (next to the [[Snow Temple]]) to [[Aboda Village]], he is asked (through a letter) to transport him here from a part of the [[Fire Realm]] (next to the Fire Temple). Upon doing so, Link is rewarded with a [[Force Gem]] that activates some rails leading to the secret [[Dark Ore Mine]] in the aforementioned Fire Realm.
+The resident boss is [[Skeldritch]], a semi-metallic living column armored with cannons that shoot giant rocks. Rather than restore power to the [[Tower of Spirits]], like the other temples within [[Hyrule]], the Sand Temple's sole purpose is to protect a powerful weapon known as the [[Bow of Light]].
-Some time later, Ferrus sends a letter to Link saying that he managed to find a [[Treasure|Regal Ring]] during his expedition within the temple. Link can then visit him on a part of the [[Forest Realm]] (next to the [[Forest Temple (Spirit Tracks)|Forest Temple]]) to receive the ring. Ferrus then goes to his home at [[Wellspring Station]] and stays there during the rest of the game.
