Snow Sanctuary

The Snow Sanctuary is a location within the Snow Realm in the re-established kingdom of Hyrule in Spirit Tracks. The sanctuary is home to the realm's guardian Lokomo, Steem.

Link comes to the Snow Realm in search of the sanctuary on the instruction of the wise Lokomo sage Anjean while on his journey to stop the return of the Demon King Malladus. The sanctuary is located just north of the Anouki Village that is home to the Anouki tribe, and the path leading to it is also the only path that can lead onward into the deeper parts of the realm where the Snow Temple is located. After assisting the Anouki in pairing them up to take on the monsters attacking their village, Link is told by their leader, Honcho of the location of the sanctuary, as well as the tunnel path he must take to reach it. Link is forced to battle a fierce monster to make it through the tunnel and reach the sanctuary, though he succeeds in slaying the beast and eventually reaches the structure. There he meets with Steem and performs a duet with him using the Spirit Flute to fully restore all of the lost Spirit Tracks of the Snow Realm, reopening the path to the Snow Temple.

In the UK PAL version of Spirit Tracks, the Snow Sanctuary is named the Snowfall Sanctuary.
