The Sacred Grove is located deep within the [[Faron Province]] and adjacent to the {{Term|TPHD|Forest Temple|link}} in {{TP}}. It is first visited after [[Princess Zelda]] tells Link that the only way his curse will break is by finding the Master Sword.<ref>{{Cite|Head for the sacred grove that lies deep within the lands guarded by the spirit Faron. There you will find the blade of evil's bane that was crafted by the wisdom of the ancient sages...the Master Sword.|Princess Zelda|TP}}</ref> Upon entering the Grove, [[Wolf Link]] must howl "[[Zelda's Lullaby]]" at the [[Howling Stone]] to make [[Skull Kid]] appear, who will open a new path further into the forest. From this point on, Link must chase Skull Kid as he traverses through the forest area while avoiding his [[Puppet]]s. After finding Skull Kid three times, he will retreat into a new area of the Sacred Grove, which is surrounded by ruins. By striking him three more times, he will vanish and open up the passage to the section that once was where the [[Temple of Time (Dungeon)|Temple of Time]] stood.

As Link is searching for the missing [[Mirror Shard]]s, the hero must return to the Sacred Grove and once again play hide-and-seek with Skull Kid. Besting the Skull Kid at his own game will make him and his Puppets vanish from the Grove. Once Link returns to the Pedestal of Time, he will briefly thrust the Master Sword in it, removing a guardian statue that was blocking the [[Door of Time]]. Entering through this door allows Link to travel back in time before the Temple of Time fell into ruin.

==Other Appearances==

==={{LCT|-}}===

The Sacred Grove appears as a Defender Mode scenario in the [[Stage Finale]] of {{LCT}}. During it, Link stands fixed in place and must eliminate enemies from all around him. [[Skull Kid]] appears and conjures his [[Puppet]] army. He will flash green to offer the automatic firing upgrade which takes down the large number of Puppets that appear. Skull Kid will warp to various niches in the surrounding landscape to protect himself.

==={{HW|-}}===

The Sacred Grove appears as the resting place for the [[Master Sword]] which resides inside a chamber in the [[Temple of the Sacred Sword]]. The chamber itself is also a Keep known as the Sacred Pedestal, due to the fact it holds the Sacred Pedestal of the Master Sword.
