Ancient Cistern

The is a SS: in SS undefined.

Entrance to the Cistern
The SS: is located behind the SS: past the throne of SS:. When SS: first meets SS:, she is unable to stop the flow of the SS: that blocks access to the SS: because of wounds SS: gave her in an earlier battle. She asks SS: to find a sample of SS:, which can be found in the SS: behind the SS:. After SS: heals her with this SS:, SS: stops the SS:'s flow to allow SS: passage into the SS:, leaving him to search for SS:.

Themes and Navigation
A giant stone statue sits at the center of the SSHD:, surrounded by SSHD:. Navigation through the SSHD: is interwoven with SSHD:-themed puzzles, and SSHD: must contend with areas containing streams, stream pools, NaN Lily Pads, waterwheels, and SSHD:-filled high-pressure pipes to proceed.

Although the SSHD: is a serene, SSHD:-themed SSHD:, the SSHD:'s lower level is an ominous abyssal underworld populated with NaN Cursed Bokoblins. This sinister area is full of polluted SSHD: which damages and SSHD:s anyone who makes contact with it.

The SSHD: contains many drains and NaN Switchs, due to its nature as a cistern. After SSHD: obtains the SSHD: that is guarded by a SSHD:, he can use it to activate many of the NaN Switchs in the SS:, including raising and lowering the central statue, and flipping over various NaN Lily Pads with damaging, barbed undersides. The SS: is also often used to unscrew the tops of tubes, creating geysers which can lift SSHD: to other destinations. Many sections of the SS: are submerged, which SSHD: can navigate easily with the SSHD:.

The underground section differs greatly from the rest of the SSHD:, showing puzzles and obstacles based on timing or skill rather than the manipulation of SSHD:. One portion of the underground section has SSHD: fighting off NaN Cursed Bokoblins as the SSHD:'s statue falls down from above after he obtains the SSHD:. Another section forces SSHD: to climb up a thread as a horde of NaN Cursed Bokoblins attempt to pull him down. In contrast, the upper SSHD: levels prefer to use SSHD:-based puzzles and SSHD:-activated switches as SSHD:'s main obstacles to overcome.

Trivia

 * The SSHD: appears to be based on the short story, . In it, the Lord Buddha is walking through paradise and gazes into a pond, past the lotus petals veiling the water's surface, seeing into the depths of hell. There in the darkness, he sees a criminal, Kandata, who once intentionally avoided stepping on a spider. Moved to try reclaiming this man, the Buddha lowers a spider thread into hell, and Kandata starts climbing to paradise. However, other sinners begin climbing as well, and Kandata, worried that the thread will not support the weight, exclaims that it is his and his alone. At this point the thread breaks, because Kandata was worried only about his own salvation and not his fellow sinners.
 * Furthermore, the architecture of this SSHD: also greatly reflects that of far-eastern temples. The statue head in the main room, the SS: key, and even SSHD: bear a striking resemblance to Buddha.
