Sands of Time

The Sands of Time are an integral part of The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. They provide the power for the Phantom Hourglass itself, allowing the one who holds it to penetrate further into the Sea King's Temple. Most of the bosses provide more Sand for the Hourglass upon defeat, enough for two extra minutes worth of time in the temple. In addition, some treasures at sea hold one minutes worth of time.

The Sands of Time are the source of power for the Sea King, Umiou, as well. In addition, they are the crystallized form of the Force, making them an important target for Beramuu.
