Sand of Hours

domvicnarel The Sand of Hours is 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 Temple of the Ocean King. When Link first gets the Phantom Hourglass, it comes with 10 minutes worth of time. Most of the bosses provide more Sand for the Hourglass upon defeat, enough for two extra minutes worth of time. In addition, five treasures at sea hold one minute's worth of time.

The Sand of Hours is the source of power for the Ocean King, as well. In addition, they are the crystallized form of the Life Force, which the game's antagonist, Bellum, consumes.
