The '''Spirit Temple''' is the eighth dungeon in {{OoT}}.
<!-- Shadow Beast is the name given by the US official site and Midna, and the Light Spirit calls them shadow beings. Twilit Messenger is a name given by Prima Games, who has the Nintendo seal of approval but is just a creator of strategy guides. Right after Midna says "shadow beasts", a group of them is shown walking with Zant.-->

  +
===Location and Overview===
  +
Placed inside the [[Desert Colossus#The Goddess of the Sand|Goddess of Sand]], the temple is located in the westernmost area of the [[Desert Colossus]] in the [[Haunted Wasteland]]. It lies past the [[Gerudo|Gerudo's]] [[Gerudo Fortress|fortress complex]]. Constructed by the ancient ancestors of the Gerudo,<ref>{{Cite book|quote= The Spirit Temple was built by the ancient ancestors of the Gerudo people.|book= The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Official Nintendo Player's Guide|publisher= [[Nintendo Power]]|page=97}}</ref> it served as Nabooru's headquarters until [[Ganon]]dorf rose to power,<ref name="Nabooru">{{Cite|You'll find the Spirit Temple, where the exalted Nabooru lives, out there in the desert.|Gerudo|OoT}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|The exalted Nabooru, our leader, put me in charge of this fortress.

  +
Unlike the other dungeons of the game, the Spirit Temple has two portions, each requiring a different age of Link. The Spirit Temple carries a theme of the relation between past and future, and the statues in the temple's entrance tell poems relating to such.

  +
===Entrance Procedure===
==Characteristics and Weaknesses==
 
  +
As an adult, Link finds the temple after following a ghost that guides him across the desert. However, when he enters the temple for the first time, he cannot make any progress due to the obstacles in front of him being beyond his tools. The west route can only be accessed through a hole too small for Adult Link, and the east route is blocked by a block too big for him. After exiting the temple, he finds [[Sheik]] and learns the [[Requiem of Spirit]], which allows him to come back later to the area anytime ''regardless of his age''. The young hero then goes to the [[Temple of Time]] and travels back to the past, and plays the new tune to start exploring the temple (western route) as a child.
The Shadow Beasts are dark, willowy beings that drop out of [[Portal]]s all across [[Hyrule]] and in the [[Twilight Realm]], always in packs of three or more except for the very first battle in the [[Ordon Spring]]. They are [[Twili]] that have been corrupted and turned into monsters by [[Zant]].<ref name=Quote1/> Shadow Beasts are strong enough that only a few were needed to overrun and defeat the many [[Soldier|Hylian Soldier]]s guarding [[Princess Zelda]], despite the fact that the latter had advantageous numbers. It is also hinted by [[Barnes]] that they are not only composed of transformed Twilis, but also have the ability to turn [[Humans]] into their kind,<ref name=barnes>{{Cite|They sure didn't seem impressed by my bombs! How long do you think we can hold this sanctuary against beasts that strong, huh? Once they attack, it's OVER! Remember the lady from the general store? Just one of those things attacked her, and a whole gang from town went to save her! And what happened? She was already gone, and there were TWO monsters waitin'! ...You connectin' the dots? That means that if we get attacked by them, then we'll be...|Barnes|TP}}</ref> meaning that they are not restricted to one species.
 
   
  +
Only after finding the proper tool, Link can go back to the Temple of Time to return as Adult Link to the Spirit Temple and explore it in the future.
If there is ever only one standing Shadow Beast during a group battle, it will utter an unearthly howl that rejuvenates the others.<ref>{{cite|If you leave the last one alive, it's just going to use that shriek to bring the others back.|Midna|TP}}</ref> Thus, at least the last two must be killed at the same time in order to truly defeat a pack.<ref>{{cite|No need to take these little pests on one at a time, right? You can take them all at once! So... You can handle this by yourself, can't you?|Midna|TP}}</ref> Once there are only a few left, most area attacks can finish them off,<ref>{{cite|You just hold down B and I'll expand an energy field. Enclose all of your enemies within it and release the button!|Midna|TP}}</ref> though some will not function correctly, such as the [[Hidden Skill#Jump Strike|Jump Strike]] or the [[Hidden Skill#Mortal Draw|Mortal Draw]].
 
   
  +
==Themes and Navigation==
Different Shadow Beasts are seen in the cutscene which shows [[Zant]] taking [[Hyrule Castle]] and Midna's history of the Twili. These are larger than the normal ones, and bear a different head-dressing; a round silver plate with a special marking on them. However, these monsters are never seen during actual gameplay, so their status and any exclusive powers remain a mystery. One possible theory is that they are a sort of honorguard for Zant, as they always appear near him, generally in flanking positions.
 
  +
===Spirit Temple as a Child===
  +
As a child, Link explores the western wing of the temple through a crawl space. This is the only time in this age that he encounters [[Nabooru]], who asks him to fetch her the [[Silver Gauntlets]]. The puzzles mirror those seen in the first three dungeons (Child Link's period): In one room, a switch behind a fence must be pressed with the boomerang, another switch must be held with a statue, torches must be lit with a [[Deku Stick]], etc.
   
  +
Upon defeating an [[Iron Knuckle]] and finding the Silver Gauntlets, Link has his final meeting with [[Kaepora Gaebora]] and witnesses [[Twinrova|Koume and Kotake]] abduct Nabooru.

The adult portion of the temple is not accessible until after Link obtains the Silver Gauntlets. With these worn, Link is able to explore the eastern wing of the temple as an adult by moving Marble Blocks. Having now a larger repertoire of items, he must solve several puzzles involving light until he ultimately finds the [[Mirror Shield]] behind an Iron Knuckle. With said shield worn, Link's next objective is to find the [[Boss Key]] in order to access the whereabouts of Koume and Kotake.

==Trivia==
 
*An early beta version of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' included what may have been a Shadow Beast in the very [[Unused Content|early stages of development]].
 
*When Link first fights multiple Shadow Beasts, if the spin attack is used on the last two, one will still survive, likely so Midna can teach Link the energy field attack.
 
*The official Japanese website for Twilight Princess calls them "Shadow Assassins".
 
*Their {{Japanese|Japanese name|Kage no Shisha||1}} and ability to revive fallen Shadow Beasts may be a reference to the phrase {{Japanese|死者を生かす|Shishawoikasu||1}}, meaning "to raise the dead".
 
*The Shadow Beasts' hands resemble that of the enemy [[Zant's Hand]] in terms of the middle two fingers are shorter.

==''Master Quest''==
==Gallery==
 
  +
In the {{OoTMQ}} version of Ocarina of Time, there are [[Wallmaster]]s in several rooms of the dungeon. Some enemies, like [[Beamos]], [[Bubble#Red Bubble|Red Bubbles]] and [[Stalfos]] are found in greater numbers, but there is only one [[Anubis]] now. There are more Silver [[Rupee]] puzzles; and there is a room with a spinning platform where a Stalfos is fought. [[Bombchu]] are used several times in the first half of the dungeon and, just like other Master Quest dungeons, [[Din's Fire]] and the [[Song of Time]] are also used. Instead of [[Lizalfos]], [[Dinolfos]] are fought, and instead of [[White Bubble]]s, giant [[Green Bubble]]s are found. [[Armos]] are no longer found in the dungeon. It is generally thought that the [[Scarecrow's Song]] is required to progress, but there is a torch that can be hit with the Hookshot as well, although the red marker will not appear on it. It is also necessary to go through the first half of the dungeon backwards as an adult to make a chest with a [[Small Key]] appear; the key can only be collected as a child. There is a black [[Iron Knuckle]] in a room with two [[Gold Skulltula]]s; some stone thrones must be broken to collect them. New enemies include a [[Like Like]], [[Fire Keese]], several [[Gibdo]]s, [[Leever]]s, the previously mentioned Dinolfos, and even a [[Club Moblin]]. The latter is found in an optional room where five of the non-warp songs (all but [[Saria's Song]]) must be played, with some clues telling which one to play (Time Block for [[Song of Time]], a sun for [[Sun's Song]], even a Lon Lon Ranch crate for [[Epona's Song]]), which in turn unlocks access to a Skulltula-filled room with a single Gold Skulltula.

In the 3DS version of the game, however, the two treasure chests containing said items only appear when Link reaches the platforms they are on, which was made to prevent this trick.

Template:Dungeon The Spirit Temple is the eighth dungeon in Ocarina of Time.

Entrance to the Temple

Spirit Temple Artwork

Official artwork of the temple's entrance

Location and Overview

Placed inside the Goddess of Sand, the temple is located in the westernmost area of the Desert Colossus in the Haunted Wasteland. It lies past the Gerudo's fortress complex. Constructed by the ancient ancestors of the Gerudo,[1] it served as Nabooru's headquarters until Ganondorf rose to power,[2][3] when it comes a base of operations for the King of Thieves and his surrogate mothers.[4] It is the only place in the game where Link encounters Anubis and White Bubbles.

Unlike the other dungeons of the game, the Spirit Temple has two portions, each requiring a different age of Link. The Spirit Temple carries a theme of the relation between past and future, and the statues in the temple's entrance tell poems relating to such.

Entrance Procedure

As an adult, Link finds the temple after following a ghost that guides him across the desert. However, when he enters the temple for the first time, he cannot make any progress due to the obstacles in front of him being beyond his tools. The west route can only be accessed through a hole too small for Adult Link, and the east route is blocked by a block too big for him. After exiting the temple, he finds Sheik and learns the Requiem of Spirit, which allows him to come back later to the area anytime regardless of his age. The young hero then goes to the Temple of Time and travels back to the past, and plays the new tune to start exploring the temple (western route) as a child.

Only after finding the proper tool, Link can go back to the Temple of Time to return as Adult Link to the Spirit Temple and explore it in the future.

Themes and Navigation

Spirit Temple as a Child

As a child, Link explores the western wing of the temple through a crawl space. This is the only time in this age that he encounters Nabooru, who asks him to fetch her the Silver Gauntlets. The puzzles mirror those seen in the first three dungeons (Child Link's period): In one room, a switch behind a fence must be pressed with the boomerang, another switch must be held with a statue, torches must be lit with a Deku Stick, etc.

Upon defeating an Iron Knuckle and finding the Silver Gauntlets, Link has his final meeting with Kaepora Gaebora and witnesses Koume and Kotake abduct Nabooru.

Spirit Temple as an Adult

The adult portion of the temple is not accessible until after Link obtains the Silver Gauntlets. With these worn, Link is able to explore the eastern wing of the temple as an adult by moving Marble Blocks. Having now a larger repertoire of items, he must solve several puzzles involving light until he ultimately finds the Mirror Shield behind an Iron Knuckle. With said shield worn, Link's next objective is to find the Boss Key in order to access the whereabouts of Koume and Kotake.

Before battling the bosses, though, Link must first battle a third Iron Knuckle.

After defeating Twinrova, it is revealed that Nabooru is the Sage of Spirit.

Master Quest

In the Template:OoTMQ version of Ocarina of Time, there are Wallmasters in several rooms of the dungeon. Some enemies, like Beamos, Red Bubbles and Stalfos are found in greater numbers, but there is only one Anubis now. There are more Silver Rupee puzzles; and there is a room with a spinning platform where a Stalfos is fought. Bombchu are used several times in the first half of the dungeon and, just like other Master Quest dungeons, Din's Fire and the Song of Time are also used. Instead of Lizalfos, Dinolfos are fought, and instead of White Bubbles, giant Green Bubbles are found. Armos are no longer found in the dungeon. It is generally thought that the Scarecrow's Song is required to progress, but there is a torch that can be hit with the Hookshot as well, although the red marker will not appear on it. It is also necessary to go through the first half of the dungeon backwards as an adult to make a chest with a Small Key appear; the key can only be collected as a child. There is a black Iron Knuckle in a room with two Gold Skulltulas; some stone thrones must be broken to collect them. New enemies include a Like Like, Fire Keese, several Gibdos, Leevers, the previously mentioned Dinolfos, and even a Club Moblin. The latter is found in an optional room where five of the non-warp songs (all but Saria's Song) must be played, with some clues telling which one to play (Time Block for Song of Time, a sun for Sun's Song, even a Lon Lon Ranch crate for Epona's Song), which in turn unlocks access to a Skulltula-filled room with a single Gold Skulltula.

Trivia

OoT Spirit Temple Winged Sun Eye

The Winged Sun symbol

  • The center points on the Desert Colossus statue's nipples inside the Spirit Temple are Longshot targets. This is likely a joke among the developers.
  • Both this dungeon and Forest Temple feature the highest number of mini-boss battles in the game: three in total. However, all three battles in the Spirit Temple are against Iron Knuckles, whereas the first two battles in Forest Temple are against Stalfos and the third fight is against the last Poe Sister, Meg.
  • The Spirit Temple, though generally considered the denouement to Ganon's Castle, can be completed before the Shadow Temple. In fact, the Spirit Medallion comes before the Shadow Medallion on the Quest Status subscreen as well as the file select screen, as well as the Requiem of Spirit being before the Nocturne of Shadow, implying that the Spirit Temple was meant to be completed before the Shadow Temple. However Navi's prompt to head to the desert only begins to occur after completing the Shadow Temple. This could mean that the Shadow Temple was indeed the final temple until late into development.
  • This is the only dungeon in the game with two major items to be obtained: the Silver Gauntlets and the Mirror Shield. Technically, though, both major dungeon items are found in the Desert Colossus, just outside the temple. Through glitches, both items can be obtained without even entering the temple. In the 3DS version of the game, however, the two treasure chests containing said items only appear when Link reaches the platforms they are on, which was made to prevent this trick.
  • The climax cinematic of the Spirit Temple is notably present in the opening cinematic in the game, before Start is pressed.
