Sand Temple

The Sand Temple is a temple in Spirit Tracks located within the Sand Realm. Link must go through three trials: the big eye that looms in the shadows, the twisted tunnel, and the impenetrable fortress, in order to reach the temple.

The dungeon forces Link to manipulate sand in order to solve the various traps and puzzles as well as find hidden objects buried within. The temple is home to many undead Stalfos as well as sand enemies known as Gerune that are immune to all attacks until hardened with the power of the Sand Wand.

Rather than restore power to the Tower of Spirits, like the other temples within Hyrule, the Sand Temple's sole role is to protect a powerful weapon known as the Bow of Light.

Trivia
In the PAL version of Spirit Tracks, Sand Temple is named Desert Temple.
