Revision as of 22:57, 2 February 2010
Select controller:Only a true hero can discover the secret of the Temple of Time. The Light Temple is the ultimate destination for the solver of the puzzle.
The Ocarina of Time and Ganondorf
When you leave the Zora's River, Navi will tell you that she feels that something is happening at Hyrule Castle. She isn't the only one feeling something wrong. Play Saria's Song, and Saria will say she senses something bad is happening at the castle as well. As you near the market, the drawbridge is up, and a storm is starting to brew. Something very terrible has happened...
As you approach the drawbridge, a cutscene will occur. Looks familiar? It's the dream Link had at the start of the game. Zelda and Impa are fleeing from Hyrule Castle on a white horse! In the scene, Zelda will throw a mysterious object into the moat. You will then encounter none other that Ganondorf himself, who is sitting on a black stallion. He demands you tell him where the white horse went, but you refuse. Ganondorf shows you his wrath for doing that; by blasting you with a ball of magic. Then he rides off, chasing after Zelda and Impa. After the cutscene ends, look for an object in the moat Dive down and get it, and you will find that it is the Ocarina of Time. Navi says it has a mysterious glow. Another cutscene will occur; you will learn the Song of Time, and Zelda will tell you to play it at the Temple of Time.
Song of Time
The Temple of Time
As you enter the market, the people will be stirred up about the sudden turn of events. If you explore the alley, you'll find a soldier is slumped over. When you speak to him, he will try to tell you that he attempted to stop Ganondorf, and that Zelda requested you go to the Temple of Time. Sadly, his wounds are fatal, and after speaking to you, he perishes.
The Temple of Time is the large, church-like building off Hyrule Market, which you can reach by a path from the left. When you enter the temple, go straight to the stone plaque in front of the big stone door, which is the Door of Time. Stand on the mat and play the Song of Time, and something odd will happen...
The Spiritual Stones will spin around and place themselves into the stone in front of you, the Triforce emblem above will activate and turn gold, and the Door of Time will open. This will reveal the second part of the Temple of Time. Venture in, and Navi will discover the most sacred weapon every created...
Inside is the mythical Master Sword. Go and take the Master Sword from the pedestal with .
This will cause a bright blue light to light up everything on the pedestal and around you. Then yet another cutscene will occur...
Ganondorf will reveal that you have let him into the Sacred Realm. He knew that even without the stones, he could enter through the sealed passageway of the golden gates through Zelda's plan. This is not good. This means Ganondorf will get the Triforce! Or will he fail?
All Grown Up!
After pulling the Master Sword, everything will change. Instead of finding yourself before the Triforce, a voice calls out to you...
You will find yourself in a strange room- the Chamber of the Sages. You will be spoken to by Rauru, the Sage of Light. Rauru is an ancient guardian of the Triforce, but has a terrible revalation- time has passed on while you have been locked away in the Sacred Realm. He tells you to take a look at yourself, and you've changed as well...
You will discover that you have aged by seven years because the Master Sword is only worthy of a Hero of Time, a mature adult. Because Link was a child, the sword locked him away until he grew into one. However, this has allowed a terrible thing to happen.
Ganondorf has gained the power of the Triforce and has taken over the land. The door you opened in the Temple of Time allowed Ganondorf to enter the Sacred Realm and find the great Temple of Light, the resting place of the Triforce. The Chamber of Sages is actually part of this temple. Even though you've entered the Temple of Light and the Sacred Realm, there is no longer a treasure to claim. Fortunately, Link is the chosen Hero of Time!
Rauru will tell you something of great importance, so listen well. He is one of the Six Sages who protect the Sacred Realm and Hyrule from siege. Rauru is in dire need of help, because he is the only sage that exists. The others are yet to awaken.
He asks you to find them and awaken them, and gives you the Light Medallion, which holds his power. You need five more medallions to boost your power and the power of the sages.
Rauru reminds you of your new duty as Hero of Time as you leave the Temple of Light.
Sheik of the Sheikah
You will be teleported back to the Temple of Time. Navi will soon notice that a disadvantage to growing up: you've outgrown some of your equipment you could use as a child and can't use it anymore. However, before leaving the temple, you'll find another person has appeared like magic, and wishes to talk...
You will be spoken to by a young Sheikah called Sheik, who will tell you that the remaining sages exist within five temples. Sheik also knows you need another item to find the first Sage, a forest girl you know, and that it can be found inside of Kakakiro Village.
Make sure you return to the Temple of Time and talk to Sheik again after awhile. She will soon show you the Prelude of Light, to teleport you to the Temple of Time later on in your quest. Right now, though, you have great changes in the world to deal with ahead of you. A lot happens in seven years time in Hyrule!
The Adult World
Quite a lot is different in the Adult World. The most important of these changes is that you can use almost none of your child items, and almost all of the world has changed. You can also gain Epona the horse from the Lon Lon ranch, which you should do as soon as possible, after which you should probably go and get the Biggoron Sword, and there are many other minigames, items, Gold Skulltula, and Pieces of Heart that can now be gained.
Getting the Hookshot
When you leave the Temple, you will see that Hyrule Town has been burnt to the ground and it is full of ReDeads. Play the Sun's Song to paralyze them and leave to Hyrule Field, and then head to Kakakiro Village. To get the Hookshot, go to the Graveyard and pull back the gravestone with grass by it near the mound of soil. Watch out as you head for the grave; Poes have infested the graveyard! A hole will appear; jump down it to see Dampe's Ghost, who will challenge you to a race. You don't have to win it, just to follow him, to win the Hookshot. Be careful; Dampe drops flames from his burning lantern as he moves along. If you can't keep up, a door may shut at a place Dampe went through, sending you back to the start of the race with one heart of damage done to your health. When you reach the end of the grave, Dampe will commend you for finishing and tell you to come back sometime for another race. When he leaves, he'll tell you be careful on your way out, for no apparent reason. Open the chest that appears to obtain the Hookshot. It's a tool that extends from a short chain to reach things. This is what Sheik spoke of!
The Mysterious Time Block
- If you race Dampe again and manage to finish the race in under one minute you'll also be rewarded with a Heart Piece.
After Dampe leaves, go into the room nearby; you'll be locked in, with a big stone blocking your way forward - you're boxed in! Fortunately, Navi comments that the carving on the block is the same design found on the Door of Time. That's a good clue - play the Song of Time and the block will disappear! Now run down the tunnel out of the grave, and you'll come out on a ledge in the windmill. Before precipitously jumping down, make sure you get the Heart Piece located on the right upper ledge (see sidebar). Afterwards, jump down and talk to Guru-Guru the organ-grinder - he'll whine about a certain boy he met seven years ago. When he finishes complaining, pull out your ocarina and he'll teach you the Song of Storms, a melody that creates a storm where you play it. Nearby secrets are revealed by it if you know where they are, but not all secrets appear this way - make sure you have the Stone of Agony for secret-hunting!
Heading to the Forest Temple
Now if you return to the Temple of Time and talk to Sheik, she will say it looks like you have the skills to enter the temple and that the forest girl awaits. But beware: the Kokiri Forest has taken a drastic turn in seven years time. As you head for the forest, Hyrule Field is now rid of Peahats and Stalchildren, but you must watch out for Angry Poes. These Poes are more skilled and will use their lanterns to drop flames, so watch out if one attacks. You'll soon find that Hyrule is truly a land of monsters now...
