Haunted Wasteland

The is a location in.

The OoT3D: is a massive desert between OoT3D: and the OoT3D:, far outside the land of OoT3D:. As well as being extremely difficult to navigate, with a lack of landmarks and constant NaN Sandstorms, it is also said to be haunted. Due to this, the entrance to the OoT3D: remains closed until OoT3D: shows his OoT3D: to the OoT3D: nearby. However, before opening up the gate to the young hero, the guard mentions to Link that he will not be able reach the Desert Colossus unless he passes a set of two trials: the River of Sand and the Phantom Guide. At the entrance to the OoT3D: is a OoT3D:, which warns travelers that they will be swallowed by the desert if they do not choose the correct path.

River of Sand
The first trial, known as the River of Sand, consists of crossing the large river of quicksand that cuts through the OoT3D:. In order for OoT3D: to pass this trial, he will need the assistance of either the OoT3D: or the OoT3D:. Equipping the OoT3D: allows the young hero to float over the River of Sand. Likewise, he can also cross the valley of quicksand by using the OoT3D: to grapple to one of the boxes on the other side of the river. Once OoT3D: has successfully completed the first trial, he must follow the series of flags that have been placed throughout the desert. Straying too far from these flags will cause him to wind up back at the entrance of the OoT3D:.

While following the flag posts, OoT3D: will encounter a sign advertising a OoT3D:. He can follow the direction in which the sign is pointing to find the OoT3D:, who is ready to sell NaN Bombchus to OoT3D: for 200 NaN Rupees. It is necessary to use the OoT3D: to reach the OoT3D:, since his flying carpet is far off a ledge.

At the end of the flag posts is a stone monument that houses the second trial: the Phantom Guide.

Phantom Guide
Once OoT3D: climbs the stone structure, there will be a small plaque mentioning that one with the "eye of truth" will be guided to the OoT3D: by a ghost. Here, OoT3D: must equip the OoT3D: to see a OoT3D: known as the Phantom Guide. This OoT3D: will be his guide on the way to the OoT3D:. However, the Phantom Guide will not do the same for the young hero on his way back to OoT3D:. OoT3D: has to follow the Guide closely, since deviating too far from the Phantom's path will result in him getting lost in the Series: and returning to the OoT3D: entrance. While following the OoT3D:, various NaN Leevers will appear in an attempt to distract OoT3D: from following the Phantom's path.

Successfully completing these two trials will lead OoT3D: to the OoT3D:, a vast, secluded desert that is home to the OoT3D:.
