The Eldin Spring is a location that appears in Twilight Princess. It is the home of the Light Spirit known as Eldin. The spring itself is located near the entrance to Kakariko Village. As Link enters the village, the spring is located to the left (Wii). It's one of four springs found within the game, each being significant to the main plot.
Story
This is the second spring that Link encounters within the events of Twilight Princess. Similar to the Faron Spring, Link, in Wolf form, once again meets the Light Spirit of this area, Eldin.[1] He is then tasked with collecting the sixteen Tears of Light located around province.[2] To achieve this, Eldin hands Link the Vessel of Light and marks the location of each Shadow Insect on his map.[3] After collecting all the Tears and completing the Vessel of Light, Link is then automatically teleported to Eldin Spring. Now he can return to his normal form and the light is once again restored to the province. Link is then told that he must clear the evil that lurks within the Goron Mines, the hero's next quest at hand.[4]
Heart Pieces
- Main article: Twilight Princess Heart Pieces
There are two Heart Pieces located in the immediate area around the Eldin Spring. The first is situated up high on a cliff to the east (Wii) side. Link must equip his Bomb Arrows and shoot the large boulder, this reveals a Piece of Heart, which the hero can obtain with the Gale Boomerang. The second is located at the back of the spring and can be accessed by blowing up a large boulder. Link can follow this path and reach a narrow, but deep, pool of water. The young hero can then equip the Iron Boots to sink to the bottom of the water. At the bottom there lies a Treasure Chest, and inside Link can obtain another Piece of Heart
Trivia
- After Link has reached the 30th floor within the Cave of Ordeals, the Great Fairy rewards the young hero for his efforts by releasing Fairies into Eldin Spring.
- If Link completes the Cave of Ordeals, the Great Fairy releases Great Fairy's Tears into Eldin Spring. Link can keep these Tears within his Bottle for later use.
