Temple of Time (Dungeon)

{{Specify|this=the dungeon from Twilight Princess|other=the location in Ocarina of Time|link=Temple of Time Template:Dungeon

The Temple of Time is the sixth dungeon in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. It is located in the Sacred Grove, a place deep within Faron Woods. Link travels to the Sacred Grove in hopes of finding the third piece of the Mirror of Twilight. Link enters a large doorway which seemingly sends him into a past state of the Temple of Time. The stairs are no longer destroyed, and there is a roof. It is very similar to the Temple of Time from Ocarina of Time. Link searches through this past state of the Temple of Time in search of the third Mirror Shard, as directed by the Sages.

Upon Link's entrance to the Temple of Time, he will discover a large door that is locked up. On either side, there is a nice spot for an ancient statue to go. On the left (Wii) side there is a statue. However, on the right side there isn't a statue. Link travels all the way to the eighth floor of the dungeon in search of the statue. On the eighth floor, he sees the statue, whom is being guarding by a Darknut. After defeating the Darknut, the Mini-Boss of the Dungeon, he collects the Dominion Rod, which he can use to guide the ancient statue back to its spot on the first floor. He then proceeds to search the rooms found behind the large door which is now unlocked. He enters the room where the Mirror Shard is said to be, and meets up with Armogohma, the Boss of the Temple of Time, whom is seemingly guarding the Mirror Shard.

Enemies

Link will meet in battle against some fairly difficult enemies as he travels through the Temple of Time, easily the most difficult enemies he has seen so far on his quest to save Hyrule.

Darknut

The Mini-Boss of the Temple of Time is known as a Darknut. The Darknut appears to be guarding the Ancient Statue that Link needs to open up the door that leads to the Boss Chamber. Link must fight the Darknut in order to not only get the statue, but to also get the Dominion Rod, the only item Link can use to guide the statue all the way to the first floor. The battle against the Darknut is a classic Sword-and-Shield battle, where Link must use all his skills in sword fighting to best the Darknut. After defeating the Darknut, Link can collect the Dominion Rod and the Ancient Statue as a reward. Later on in the game, the Darknut appears regularly as an enemy.

Armogohma, the Boss of the Temple of Time

The Boss of the Temple of Time is known as Twilit Arachnid: Armogohma. It is a very large spider that dwells deep within the Temple of Time. It is there guarding the third Mirror Shard, which Link is there to collect. Defeating Armogohma in both of the two phases of the battle will reward Link with the third Mirror Shard, which means he only has one Shard to go before the Mirror of Twilight is fully restored.

Dungeon Items

All four of the standard Dungeon Items that are found in Twilight Princess Dungeons can be found in the Temple of Time. These include the Dungeon Map, the Compass, the Big Key, and the three Small Keys.

Link can find it in a Treasure Chest as he goes up the Temple of Time.

Big Key

The Big Key is used to unlock the door that leads to the Boss Chamber, where Armogohma lies. It can be acquired by opening up a Treasure Chest on the fourth? floor.
