The cave can be reached by jumping across invisible platforms, which are revealed by [[Kaepora Gaebora]]'s feathers. It functions the same way as in ''Ocarina of Time'', but can now be used see the souls of deceased characters, such as [[Darmani]], as well as characters that are totally unnoticeable, such as [[Shiro]]. |

[[Princess Ruto]] suggests they use the Lens of Truth, located somewhere in the Water Temple, to prove the alleged Zelda is an impostor.<ref name="hero"/> While the Hyrulean Forces encircle the temple, the Zora Princess sneaks into the temple to search for the relic.<ref>{{Cite|I'll go underwater and find the Lens of Truth.

Sheik uses the newly-acquired relic to reveal the hidden chamber, housing the [[Gate of Souls]], from which the impostor is issuing her commands, and the Hyrulean Forces quickly engage her in combat.<ref name="passageway"/> After wearing down the imposter's stamina, Sheik uses the Lens of Truth to reveal their true identity: [[Wizzro]].<ref>{{Cite|How did you see through my disguise?|Wizzro|HW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|You can't be Zelda.

| − | ==Theory== |
||
| − | {{theory|start}} |
||
| − | The Lens of Truth is speculated to be part of a [[Trinity of Truth|set of three objects]], including the Mask of Truth and the Stone of Agony, that were created by the [[Sheikah]] tribe to give their holder untold power to perceive the truth of their surroundings. |
||
| − | |||
| − | It is also possible that the man who's house stood where the Well is was responsible for creating the Lens of Truth (likely along with the other two aforementioned objects). If this were the case, the man would likely have been a Sheikah. |
||
| − | {{theory|end}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Trivia== |
||
| − | *In ''Ocarina of Time'', if Link plays the "[[Song of Storms]]" and then uses the Lens of Truth, it will not drain his Magic Meter. |
||
| − | *In a early version of ''Ocarina of Time'', the [[Spirit Medallion]] had the effect of the Lens of Truth. This is evidenced by data left in ''Ocarina of Time'' pointing the filename of the Spirit Medallion to the effect of the Lens of Truth. This would provide further proof that the [[Spirit Temple]] was meant to be completed before the [[Shadow Temple]], since the Lens of Truth is required to navigate the latter.{{fact|OoT}} |
||
| − | *In {{TP}}, the [[Howling Stone]] architectural design resembles the Lens of Truth, with both including the [[Sheikah]] [[Eye Symbol]]. |
