==Gaining Entrance==
==Gaining Entrance==
After gaining the [[Forest Medallion|Forest]], [[Fire Medallion|Fire]] and [[Water Medallion]]s, the next time [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] visits [[Kakariko Village (Ocarina of Time)|Kakariko Village]] as an adult, he will find it on fire, and [[Sheik]] in front of the Well. An [[Bongo Bongo|evil shadow spirit]] emerges, breaking the well's bar and tossing Sheik around, then knocking Link out when he tries to protect them. Link comes round to find the force gone, the fires extinguished and Sheik kneeling over him. They teach him the [[Nocturne of Shadow]], allowing him to [[warp]] to the [[Triforce Pedestal]] outside the Shadow Temple, and order him to follow Impa there to help her with the evil spirit.

After using the Nocturne to warp, and entering the cavernous space behind, Link is presented with a room full of unlit torches. Lighting all of these with [[Din's Fire]] opens the door, but to enter the Shadow Temple proper, he must hookshot across a large pit - while Link can light the torches and enter as an child, this essentially prevents him from fully entering except as an adult.

While not strictly necessary to gain entrance, illusions make it difficult to progress, with a voice periodically whispering to Link that the "Shadow will yield only to one with the eye of truth, handed down in Kakariko Village". The "eye of truth" is the [[Lens of Truth]]; to obtain it from the [[Bottom of the Well]], Link must paradoxically obtain the Song of Storms from the [[Phonogram Man]] as an adult, then play it as a child to drain the well and create the Phonogram Man's obsession with it. Working his way through the well as a child and obtaining the Lens allows Link to find his way through the Shadow Temple much more easily.
