What the hell, Lozzie? Why did you erase my contribution? -hisak

Disambiguation?
This is just an idea, but perhaps we should split up the Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess dungeons into separate entries. --Sheik-Yumil1988
 * Do we have a "It has been suggested that this article be split into..." template? If not, I'll add one. --Jase 23:06, 14 November 2006 (CST)

The Reason
The reason I deleted it was because I moved it over to Faron Woods. Is it known that the temple is actually named Forest Temple?
 * There were videos/images labeling the temple as the "Forest Temple". However, I believe they were from the E3 2005 demos. It is possible that the temple was renamed. Perhaps the best thing to do in this case would be to wait for someone to actually purchase and play the game. --Sheik-Yumil1988 12:33, 15 November 2006 (CST)

It was named "Forest Temple" on a video taken from the actual game. I think it would have been better for Nintendo to have named it "Faron Temple" or something else.

Forest Temple: Great Deku Tree
I have OoT and TP and I think that the two temples may be the same, with Link running around in the Forest Temple which could well be the roots of the Great Deku Tree and another big tree. I'm surprised their isn't a Kokiri cameo or something. THAT WOULD ROCK


 * Uhh...I don't think the Forest Temples of OoT and TP are the same, myself. For one thing, in OoT the Forest Temple appeared to be a massive stone ruin of some sort, while in TP the Forest Temple appears to built into a massive tree.  While this tree could be the remains of the Great Deku Tree of OoT, that only almost guarantees that the two temples are not the same, as the Forest Temple in OoT is nowhere near the Great Deku Tree at all.

Theories in Trivia
"Some people believe that the Kokiri once lived here long ago."

"Others believe that this is the Forbidden Woods in The Wind Waker, though none of this is proven."

Both of these ideas seem to feed off each other, since we know the Koroks once lived in the Forbidden Woods, and if the Forbidden Woods are the Forest Temple, then that means the Koroks/Kokiri once lived in the temple. As far as I know, however, neither has any actual supporting evidence. In OoT, the Kokiri live in the aptly named Kokiri Forest, right next to the Great Deku Tree - their creator - and I can't really imagine why they might ever have lived elsewhere, in a temple no less. As for the Forbidden Woods, seeing as how all the information we're really given about it is that the Koroks used to inhabit it, it seems to be pretty strongly implied that it was one Kokiri Forest, which is backed by the tree-houses present in the dungeon. Also, as someone above pointed out, the Forest Temple is made of stone, not trees. Any objections to removing these theories, or is there a real argument behind them?

Tracking down a citation
In trying to source "The Forest Temple is known as the "topsy-turviest" level in Zelda history", I discovered that the November 2006 issue of Nintendo Power contained the article The Stuff of Legends (Zelda) Part 2. This article listed the Forest Temple and Stone Tower Temple as two of Zelda's top five dungeons. I don't own the magazine and can't find any more details about the article, but it seems possible that this article may be the source of the topsy-turvy reputation. Maybe someone out there has a copy and can check it out. 03:30, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
