Sealed Grounds

The Sealed Grounds is a location in Skyward Sword. Located near the Faron Woods, it is home to Impa and the seal that holds The Imprisoned. This is the first area of the surface that Link explores after descending from the sky. The Sealed Grounds consists of a large pit that spirals downward until at the very bottom there is a magic seal that holds The Imprisoned. At the top of the pit is The Temple of Hylia, which connects to Faron Woods.

Throughout Skyward Sword Link travels back to this area multiple times to fend of The Imprisoned as it breaks its magical seal and ascends the spiral path towards the Temple of Hylia.

At this location, Link fights his last battle against Ghirahim and meets Demise for the first time.
