Temple of Time

History
The Temple of Time is the sanctified gateway between Hyrule and the Sacred Realm. When the Master Sword was infused into the Pedestal of Time it sealed the portal between Hyrule and the Sacred Realm, where the ancient Triforce lies. It is said that only the Hero of Time may enter the secret chambers of the temple and draw the Master Sword. This would explain why Ganondorf was able to enter the Sacred Realm when Link removed the sword from the Pedestal. The Temple of Time is one of Hyrule's ancient edifces and Rauru aided in its construction long ago.

Within the Temple stands a sacred altar which inscribes the instructions to opening the Door of Time which leads to the Master Sword. The inscription reads that the person needs to have possession of all three Spiritual Stones, to stand with the Ocarina of Time and play the Song of Time, in the Ocarina of Time.

In Twilight Princess
Located in the Faron Province in the Sacred Grove, the Temple of Time is an actual dungeon Link must traverse in order to obtain a shard of the Twilight Mirror. It has eight floors. The item obtained here is the Dominion Rod, a rod used to bring statues to life. This is obtained after defeating the temple's mini boss, a Darknut. The temple has a much nicer look than the one in Ocarina of Time, and is far more expansive. The music from Ocarina of Time has returned in this version, no doubt bringing back memories.
