For the stage in the Super Smash Bros. series, see Hyrule: Temple.

Temples are recurring locations in The Legend of Zelda series.[name references needed] They are temples of power and function, and may perform the act of an art gallery, a place of worship, a factory, etc.

Characteristics

In most installments of the series, Temples are a heavily common type of Dungeon whose purposes, design and features vary significantly from game to game.

In the majority of the cases, in a Temple there is usually a central puzzle device, which Link must deal with in order to meet the Boss and complete the objectives of the main quest. For example, in the Water Temple in Ocarina of Time, the central mechanic revolves around changing the water level; in the Temple of Time in Twilight Princess, the main puzzle is about finding and guiding a statue to gain access to the Boss's hideout; and so on.

It's not uncommon for a Temple to show a fixation towards an element in particular. Therefore, the central puzzle may depend on its thematic motif.
