Heading in, you'll see a staircase in front of you. Two boulders sit in front of two strange statues. Off to either side of you are two jars. The jars contain hearts and magic potion, in case you need it. Smashing either boulder with your megaton hammer will reveal silver rupies. Up the stairs you can find your first chest with some bombchu. Up the stairs to the right is a powerful water fountain which you can't pass, and you can see two more silver rupees beyond.

New Song: Requiem of Spirit
The '''Spirit Temple''' is the eighth [[dungeon]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. It can be found in the depths of the desert, inside the [[Desert Colossus]].

==Gaining Entrance==
                                       
Accessing the Spirit Temple is a lengthy, multi-step process. Firstly, as an adult, Link must use either [[Epona]] or the [[Longshot]] to get across [[Gerudo Valley]]'s destroyed bridge. He then must rescue the carpenters from the [[Gerudo's Fortress]]; after which the [[Gerudo Warrior]], impressed, presents him with a [[Gerudo Token|Gerudo Membership Card]], allowing him unimpeded access to the Fortress.

He explains that you need to ride the Master Sword as a portal through time to accomplish all of your goals. Shortly before stepping back and disappearing into the desert.  Warp back to the Temple of Time and place your sword to once again become a child.  Make sure you have bugs in one of your bottles and warp back to the Desert Colossus. Dodge the Leevers on your way back up to the stone steps, and find the patch of soft soil right near the entrance.  Use your catch and release tactics to get another Golden Skulltula, then plant your last magic bean.  Head inside.
With this, he can have the gate to the [[Haunted Wasteland]] opened by speaking to the guard atop it, and enter it. After using the Longshot or [[Hover Boots]] to cross a river of quicksand, his next step is to follow the flags to a stone building in the middle of the Wasteland. From here, he can use the [[Lens of Truth]] to see the [[Phantom Guide]] to the wasteland, who will guide him the rest of the way to the [[Desert Colossus]].


The temple is exactly as you left it seven years... from now.  Heading left towards the small tunnel you will find a Gerudo woman clad in white.  Talk to her and answer all of the bottom questions.  She'll reveal she is Nabooru. She wants to overthrough Ganondorf and she promises to help you, too, if you get the Silver Gauntlets for her, since they're through the small tunnel that only you can can fit through.  Crawl through and up the short steps to find...
Having reached the Colossus, he can enter the Spirit Temple, but finds no way to progress, with one side blocked by a huge block of stone, and the other only accessible by a small crawlway which he is too big to fit into. On leaving, however, [[Sheik]] appears and directs him to return as a child, teaching him the [[Requiem of Spirit]] to allow him to bypass the Gerudo Fortress and the Haunted Wasteland by [[warp]]ing directly to the Colossus' [[Triforce Pedestal]].


<blockquote>New Enemy: Torch Slug<br>
With the warp song, he can return as a child, and enter the Spirit Temple with hopes of getting beyond the entrance lobby.
When the fire on its back is extinguished, it will run away.  Destroy it before it relights!<br>
This enemy will be very agressive when it's on fire, and be timid when it's out.  A sword swipe, arrow, or Longshot will put it out and make it vulnerable. The use of the Megaton Hammer will put all Torch Slugs in the area out by flipping them upside down.  As a child, these can only be killed either by using bombs, which serve to extinguish it so you can use your sword, or using Deku Nuts to stun them.</blockquote>


Deal with both of them to unbar the large doors in this room.  Shooting the eye will put out the fires temporarily (useful if the Torch Slugs keep relighting) and allow you access to a single heart.  Take the right door.  Kill the Gibdo here, then pull the tombstones back to reveal a switch.  Press it to lower the gate bridge... the wrong direction.  Stand near the edge, and use a Bombchu (aiming perfectly straight) to destroy the boulder and reveal an eye.  Shooting it will make a floating block appear.  Jump on the floating block and across.  Destroy the Gibdos here to open the next door.

Jump on the spinning platform and you'll be ambushed by a Stalfos.  You can defeat him the old fashioned way (which is harder because you're a kid) or you can attack him relentlessly when he's near the edge to knock him over.  Either way, the doors unlock. Take the new door (it's the one on the right, if you get confused) to the second room with a gate bridge.
When Link first visits the temple as a child, [[Nabooru]] attempts to get inside the temple to get the [[Silver Gauntlets]], but she cannot fit inside the small hole. She convinces Link to go inside and retrieve them, and once he does, he witnesses [[Kotake]] and [[Koume]] capturing Nabooru. The bonus to that is Link gets to keep the gauntlets, allowing him to get inside the temple as an adult.


Shoot the Keese flying around here, (if it catches fire, unequip your Deku Shield), and shoot those hanging on the walls. Pull back the Tombstone to reveal a button switch.  Press it to lower the bridge.  Walk unto it to find the last Keese from underneath coming after you. Shoot it down, and advance towards the chest and see...
===Adult===
When [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] returns as an adult, Link uses the Silver Gauntlets to move around the temple. After traversing numerous enemies and puzzles, Link obtains the [[Mirror Shield]]. Link also fights the witch sisters, [[Twinrova]], who are the boss of the Spirit Temple. After defeating them, Link gets a [[Heart Container]] and receives the [[Spirit Medallion]]. This is the final medallion required for the confrontation against [[Ganon]]dorf.

Take it down, and if you got all of the Keese (there are a total of five), a small treasure chest will appear.  The large one contains the Dungeon Map, and the new small one hides a Small Key.  Exit through the new door to find the room that used to hold the Torch Slugs. Crawl through the hole in the north of the room (ignore the rusty switch for now) and use the key on the door here.

Hit the crystal switch and a Like Like drops from the ceiling.  If it gets your shield, make sure to destroy it quickly to get it back.  Try to keep the crystal switch between you and it so it can't get you though.  Climb up and defeat the Baby Dodongo's that come after you, then use Bombs or Bombchus to destroy the Beamos in the room, and get a chest with more Bombchu.  Target the boulder on the wall (Navi helps for once) and blow it up to release a chest, but you cannot get it yet.  Instead, use your second key to continue through the locked door.

Immediately head left and shoot the eye on the wall.  When the chest appears claim your Compass.  Head straight south and stand directly under the Door.  Use Din's Fire to melt the ice and hit the switch (it doesn't always hit the switch at the same time, in which case step back and shoot it with your Fairy Slingshot).  Through that door shoot the eye in the pit to claim another Small Key, then back to the big room.  Climb the stone wall and up the stairs (watch out for flying pots) to see the time block.  Jump onto it, and pick up the box (if the box is on the ground, play the Song of Time so the time block appears directly over it, then leave through any door and immediately come back).  Jump straight west to land on the second floor, then take the stairs to the top.  Set it down and play the Song of Time to move the block, then jump across with the block, and down onto the statue's hand.  Set the box on the button, then one last time climb to the top and through the newly opened door.

Time your run through the fire and head through the door at the top of these stairs.  A Wallmaster will descend upon you in this room, so wait to take it out so it's not a problem later.  Advance further and you'll find...
 
<blockquote>New Enemy: Red Bubble<br>
Guard against its attack with your shield!<br>
The Red Bubble, like it's Green and Blue counterparts, is surrounded by red fire.  This one will set you on fire, and burn up any equipped Deku Shields.  You can use your Longshot to stun them, and finish them off with your sword.  As a child, all of your weapons are inneffective.</blockquote>
 
You have to simply dodge the Bubbles for now.  You can turn off the fire with the Crystal Switch in the middle of the room, but you can simply climb over on the slightly shorter portions for now.  Either way, head towards the sunlight.  There should be three sun blocks in this section, one opens the barred door (what we want), one releases a chest (just a heart, not necessary), and one makes a transluscent block appear (useful only to Adult Link).  The one nearest the light is the one you want, so put it in the light (any four can fit at one time, and there are five in the room).  Continue through the newly opened door.
 
Shoot down the Skulltula and use your key on the locked door here.  Around the corner, you'll find yourself with another Iron Knuckle.  The pros of fighting him as a kid?  When he does his horizontal swing, if you "block" you'll be ducking so low he can't hit you.  The cons?  He takes twice as much damage and deals twice as much.  This battle is both easier and harder because of this.  There are two good methods you can use.  First, is approach him so he swings, duck, and as soon as it's safe, jump attack and repeat.  If doing this, watch out because his overhead swing will still hit you and you'll have to move sideways.  The second is just keep standing back and chuck Bombchu after Bombchu after him.  This, however, takes fifteen total to bring him down.  A combination of the two is also very effective.  He'll slash the pillars and his throne, which all release three hearts for your convenience.
 
Once he's defeated, take the door he guarded outside.  As soon as you see a chest, Kaepora Gaebora will talk to you.  He advises you to turn the power of the witches against them, and then leaves you to your treasure.  Open the chest to find...
 
<blockquote>New Item: Silver Guantlets<br>
If you wore them, you would feel power in your arms, the power to lift big things!<br>
These Guantlets allow you (adult) to lift and throw boulders, the dark brown, light brown, and the silver ones (the ones you can't destroy with the Megaton Hammer or Bombs).</blockquote>
 
Since we did make a deal with Nabooru, we need to take them to her, instead of keeping them for ourself.  Before you get to, though, a sandstorm blows a scream to your ears.  You see the witches sucking Nabooru into the sands.  She warns you to escape.  You can go back inside and slowly work your way out, or just jump down.  Alternatively, the quickest choice is to play the Prelude of Light; warp back to the Temple of Time to become an adult again.

This article is about the temple from Ocarina of Time. For the temple in Tears of the Kingdom, see Spirit Temple.

The Spirit Temple is the eighth dungeon in Ocarina of Time. It can be found in the depths of the desert, inside the Desert Colossus.

Gaining Entrance

Accessing the Spirit Temple is a lengthy, multi-step process. Firstly, as an adult, Link must use either Epona or the Longshot to get across Gerudo Valley's destroyed bridge. He then must rescue the carpenters from the Gerudo's Fortress; after which the Gerudo Warrior, impressed, presents him with a Gerudo Membership Card, allowing him unimpeded access to the Fortress.

With this, he can have the gate to the Haunted Wasteland opened by speaking to the guard atop it, and enter it. After using the Longshot or Hover Boots to cross a river of quicksand, his next step is to follow the flags to a stone building in the middle of the Wasteland. From here, he can use the Lens of Truth to see the Phantom Guide to the wasteland, who will guide him the rest of the way to the Desert Colossus.

Having reached the Colossus, he can enter the Spirit Temple, but finds no way to progress, with one side blocked by a huge block of stone, and the other only accessible by a small crawlway which he is too big to fit into. On leaving, however, Sheik appears and directs him to return as a child, teaching him the Requiem of Spirit to allow him to bypass the Gerudo Fortress and the Haunted Wasteland by warping directly to the Colossus' Triforce Pedestal.

With the warp song, he can return as a child, and enter the Spirit Temple with hopes of getting beyond the entrance lobby.

Child

"Will you go through this tiny hole and get the treasure that's inside?"

When Link first visits the temple as a child, Nabooru attempts to get inside the temple to get the Silver Gauntlets, but she cannot fit inside the small hole. She convinces Link to go inside and retrieve them, and once he does, he witnesses Kotake and Koume capturing Nabooru. The bonus to that is Link gets to keep the gauntlets, allowing him to get inside the temple as an adult.

Adult

When Link returns as an adult, Link uses the Silver Gauntlets to move around the temple. After traversing numerous enemies and puzzles, Link obtains the Mirror Shield. Link also fights the witch sisters, Twinrova, who are the boss of the Spirit Temple. After defeating them, Link gets a Heart Container and receives the Spirit Medallion. This is the final medallion required for the confrontation against Ganondorf.
