Forest Temple (Twilight Princess)

The Forest Temple is the first dungeon in. The main item obtained is the Gale Boomerang, and the temple's boss is Diababa.

Entrance to the Temple
It is housed within a massive tree in the Faron Woods that some theorize to be the dead remains of the Great Deku Tree from Ocarina of Time. It houses the Gale Boomerang, which is used to defeat its boss, the Twilit Parasite Diababa.

Themes and Navigation
The temple is infested with Deku Babas, Baba Serpents, Skulltulas and Bokoblins. The Gale Boomerang, which is obtained after defeating the corrupted monkey chief Ook, is used inside the temple to manipulate wind powered switches and bridges allowing Link to access rooms deeper within the dungeon. Monkeys have been imprisoned in various locations throughout the temple by Ook. They must all be freed in order to help Link gain access to Diababa's lair. Upon defeating Diababa, Link will obtain one of the Fused Shadows.

This dungeon is different from the Forest Temple in in that it has only one level as opposed to multiple floors, and is far more organic in its design — though the first room of this temple is notably similar to its Ocarina of Time counterpart. Twilight Princess 's Forest Temple is also similar to the Woodfall Temple in in that a lot of the rooms seem to be very swamp-like.

If Link wishes to revisit the temple after clearing it, he will need the Clawshot in order to make it any further than the dungeon's main room, as well as to reach the boss chamber. This is because the monkeys that initially helped him traverse the temple disappear from inside it once the boss is defeated.
