Several [[Updraft]]s can be found along the Temple's grounds, allowing [[Link]] to [[Paraglider|Paraglide]] above the chamber walls inside.

At 3:00 AM, [[Dinraal]] will descend toward the Tanagar Canyon, causing [[Wind]]s and Updrafts to appear around the Forgotten Temple.

As in {{BotW}}, the Forgotten Temple sits inside [[Tanagar Canyon]] on the [[Tabantha Frontier]].

During the [[Imprisoning War]] in the [[Era of Myth]], the Forgotten Temple was used as a refuge by [[Rauru]] and his army after [[Ganondorf]] attacked and killed [[Sonia]] at their castle atop the [[Great Plateau]]. In the [[Memory]] "[[The Sages' Vow]]", Rauru meets with the leaders of the various tribes of [[Hyrule]].<ref>{{Cite|Backed into a corner by the attacks in all parts of Hyrule, leaders facing the Demon King's forces gather at Rauru's call. He gives each a Zonai secret stone, making them sages with powers amplified by the stones.

Our only hope is for me to defeat the Demon King.|Rauru|TotK}}<br/>{{Cite|Rauru. The Demon King... He is not someone you can stop by yourself. But...you are not alone.

And of course...you can count on me.|Mineru|TotK}}<br/>{{Cite|There's something I'd like to show you all.|Rauru|TotK}}</ref> He grants these Secret Stones to the tribe leaders, allowing the [[Zora]], [[Rito]], [[Goron]], and Gerudo leaders to respectively become the [[Sage of Water|Sages of Water]], [[Sage of Wind|Wind]], [[Sage of Fire|Fire]], [[Sage of Lightning|Lightning]]. Together with the [[Sage of Spirit]] [[Mineru]] and the [[Sage of Time]] [[Zelda]], the [[Sage]]s swear their loyalty to him and vow to fight Demon King Ganondorf alongside him.<ref>{{Cite|Stand with me. I need all your aid.|Rauru|TotK}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|We all, gathered here, swear on our lives to serve Rauru, the King of Light.|Six Sages|TotK}}</ref> After this, the late queen Sonia was buried in this chamber. It features a circular pit with a lotus structure and a small pond at its center, above which the Secret Stones float before they are claimed. This lotus is surrounded by seven platforms that each lead to a staircase trailing out of the circular pit. Between these platforms, there are stones of various sizes in a rock garden. Concentric circles emanate from these stones in the garden.

In the Memory "[[A King's Duty]]", Rauru can be seen visiting Sonia's grave and offering a lone [[Sundelion]] in her memory. He is joined by Zelda, who now remembers that Demon King Ganondorf was the man she met [[Beneath Hyrule Castle]] and deduces that their resistance to him is doomed to fail.<ref>{{Cite|I came... I came to this era after finding a man underground.|Princess Zelda|TotK}}<br/>{{Cite|Hm. Go on.|Rauru|TotK}}<br/>{{Cite|When I witnessed what the secret stone did to Ganondorf... At that moment, I knew for sure. What we found underground—that was him!|Princess Zelda|TotK}}<br/>{{Cite|He was still alive... Still powerful... He continues to live on...all the way until my time!

And you will...|Princess Zelda|TotK}}</ref> Despite her warnings, Rauru insists that they must try and reminds her that they may yet rely on [[Link]]'s help in the future.<ref>{{Cite|Maybe so... But it is my duty to try. It was my hubris that set us on this path. I must atone for my error in judgement.|Rauru|TotK}}<br/>{{Cite|And above all else... I remain the king of Hyrule.

[[File:TotK Floor Map.png|thumb|right|320px|alt= A screenshot of the Floor Map depicting an ancient Hyrule|The Floor Map from {{TotK|-}}]]

At some point after the Imprisoning War's end, the back wall of the Secret Stone chamber was torn down and a hallway to a new chamber was built. This new chamber houses a [[Floor Map]] that depicts the 11 [[Dragon's Tear]]s atop the geography of Hyrule at the time. This Floor Map includes [[Hyrule Castle]] at its center in the exact position it can be found in the future. An oculus in the ceiling sits over the Floor Map, and inside this oculus there is a large [[Light (Item)|Light]] protected with [[Zonai]]-style lattice. A stone memorial sitting just northeast of the Floor Map is engraved with the phrase, "A tear with a tear".<ref>{{Cite|A tear with a tear|N/A|TotK}}</ref> The walls surrounding the Floor Map bear 11 blind arches depicting the [[Geoglyph]]s, which are also found on diamond-shaped tablets on top of the Floor Map. The [[Mother Goddess Statue]] was also added at some point to the Forgotten Temple after the Imprisoning War, and the floor leading to the Secret Stone chamber was heavily altered. Sundelions began to grow at Sonia's grave after Rauru left one as an offering.

In modern times, the Forgotten Temple now shows signs of travelers visiting, as [[Wooden Box]]es and [[Board]]s can be found throughout and around its grounds. Due to the [[Upheaval]], various features of the Forgotten Temple have been altered. [[Fallen Debris]] now dots the rooftop of the Temple, and there are now no longer any [[Updraft]]s throughout its interior. The Mother Goddess Statue has been toppled, and the [[Mayausiy Shrine]] has appeared inside the Temple. The ground behind the Mother Goddess Statue blocking the [[Door]] to the Secret Stone chamber has given way, allowing entry further into the Forgotten Temple. This Door bears a modified {{Wp|sefirot}} with eight circles and an [[Eye Symbol]] carved into it. The bottom circle acts as a [[Terminal]] which activates and opens the Door when Rauru uses his [[Right Arm]]. This exact sefirot pattern can also be found on the [[Temple of Time]] atop the [[Great Sky Island]].

In order to return the Mother Goddess Statue to normal, Link must visit the [[Spring of Courage|Springs of Courage]], [[Spring of Wisdom|Wisdom]], and [[Spring of Power|Power]] and speak to their respective Goddess Statues. Upon confirming the status of the Mother Goddess Statue for them and offering them [[Farosh's Claw]],<ref>{{Cite|I would ask you to go to that land and bring tidings to me of the Mother Goddess Statue. Please... I beg of you...|Spring of Courage Statue|TotK}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Seek the golden spirit {{Color|TotK Red|Farosh}}, who looses lightning as she dances across the heavens.

With these tasks completed, the Goddess Statues will instruct him to visit the Mother Goddess Statue in tribute.<ref>{{Cite|With your aid, a measure of our strength has gone to restore the Mother Goddess Statue who dwells in the vast canyon.

Kindly organize your belongings so that another sword may fit among them, and return to me once this is done.|Mother Goddess Statue|TotK}}</ref>}}

After researching the Geoglyph at [[North Hyrule Plain]], [[Impa]] and [[Cado]] travel to the Forgotten Temple as part of the [[Main Quest]] "[[The Dragon's Tears]]". According to ancient [[Sheikah]] records in [[Kakariko Village]],<ref>{{Cite|But finally we can see it. The geoglyph! Well done, Link. You know, I read something in the village's old literature—a passage about what the ancients called {{Color|TotK Red|Dragon's Tears}}. "Where the Tears rest upon the earth, we marked down the images to which they gave birth."|Impa|TotK}}</ref> the Forgotten Temple contains information related to the Geoglyphs and the [[Dragon's Tear]]s.<ref>{{Cite|Let us continue to examine the geoglyphs. They may contain further clues that lead to Princess Zelda. You know, according to the literature, there is something to do with geoglyphs in the {{Color|TotK Red|Forgotten Temple}}. The {{Color|TotK Red|Forgotten Temple}} lies at the bottom of a canyon in {{Color|TotK Red|Hebra}}. I think we should make our way there soon.|Impa|TotK}}</ref> This alludes to the Floor Map, where several slabs depicting the Geoglyphs can be found. Impa and Cado became separated when the former ran ahead to explore the Temple while Cado was busy securing their aircraft.<ref>{{Cite|To be honest, Lady Impa deduced that there is {{Color|TotK Red|something related to the geoglyphs}} here. It took some effort for us to get up here, but we managed it. But then Lady Impa grew impatient. The moment I took my eyes off her, she went deep into the temple all by herself. Once I finish mooring the balloon, I plan to hurry after her.|Cado|TotK}}</ref> Impa can be found beside Mayausiy Shrine, where she is stumped on the location of the Floor Map.<ref>{{Cite|I believe there is {{Color|TotK Red|something related to the geoglyphs}} somewhere within this temple. I am searching, but so far, it has been in vain. The chambers here are enormous, so it will be a difficult task at best. Where could it be...|Impa|TotK}}</ref>

When Link approaches the Floor Map during "The Dragon's Tears", Impa and Cado will soon follow and remark upon it and the surrounding walls.<ref>{{Cite|Ahhh. This place...|Impa|TotK}}<br/>{{Cite|Lady Impa, let's head down. We must investigate up close...|Cado|TotK}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|There, upon the walls... Are those not...{{Color|TotK Red|geoglyphs}}?! Hm. What could this mean?|Impa|TotK}}</ref> From the order of the Geoglyphs depicted on the blind arches, Impa deduces that the next Geoglyph is located near [[Rito Village]].<ref>{{Cite|As for the next painting...|Impa|TotK}}<br/>{{Cite|According to the floor map, it is near Rito Village.|Impa|TotK}}</ref> Cado adds that the locations of the remaining Geoglyphs are also located on the Floor Map.<ref>{{Cite|It seems the locations of the other geoglyphs from the wall are marked on the {{Color|TotK Red|floor map}} as well.|Cado|TotK}}</ref> To Cado's dismay, Impa resolves to immediately visit the remaining Geoglyphs herself.<ref>{{Cite|I can hardly believe what my eyes behold. Who could have guessed this old ruin still held such secrets?|Impa|TotK}}<br/>{{Cite|It is said that the geoglyphs appeared all over Hyrule during the Upheaval when Princess Zelda went missing. Hm. How are they connected to these images here...|Impa|TotK}}<br/>{{Cite|There is no time to dawdle! Let us hurry and investigate the remaining geoglyphs.|Impa|TotK}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Oh! L-Lady Impa... Perhaps you should rest a bit before such a trying journey.|Cado|TotK}}</ref>

After visiting each of the Geoglyphs and viewing their Memories, Link can return to Impa and Cado at the Forgotten Temple to inform them of Zelda's transformation into the [[Light Dragon]].<ref>{{Cite|I see... So the Dragon's Tears were shed by Princess Zelda when she transformed. And the geoglyphs were drawn by an ancient people who touched those memories and saw visions, as you did. Perhaps in the past they were more attuned to that sort of thing than the people of today. Hm... I understand now. So that is the truth of it all. Link. If all of the memories you saw are true, then that means... Since our Princess Zelda has become the Light Dragon, she can never again return to her original form. It is...painfully tragic. Our dear Princess Zelda... No. It cannot be!|Impa|TotK}}</ref> Impa decides to return to the records at Kakariko Village in order to research a possible method to undo Zelda's draconification.<ref>{{Cite|There must be a way...some method to restore Princess Zelda to her former self. Link, I will return to Kakariko Village and review the ancient literature once more. That is the most I can do to help Princess Zelda...|Impa|TotK}}</ref> With their journey at an end, Cado also decides to return to Kakariko Village.<ref>{{Cite|I suppose our journey has come to an end...
