The Temple of Fire is the first Dungeon that Link visits in Phantom Hourglass.[1] It is located on the Isle of Ember. It protects the Spirit of Power.[2]

Entrance to the Temple

The Temple of Fire is located on the higher levels of the Isle of Ember's mountain, which can only be accessed after Link has rescued the Fortune Teller, Astrid, and has his fortune told by her.[3] When Link first arrives at the Temple's entrance, it is sealed shut. To open it, he has to blow out the two candles on either side of the door.[4]

Themes and Navigation

As the Temple of Fire's name implies, it is themed around Fire. There are numerous pits of Lava which can hamper Link's path, as well as moving bodies of Fire that can burn him.[5] The Dungeon has five floors in all and features a small variety of enemies. Many of the puzzles in the Dungeon involve the Dungeon's primary Item, the Boomerang,[6] sometimes requiring Link to hit Shock Switches in a certain order. The Boss, who is supposedly the cause of the volcano erupting,[7] is a flame sorcerer by the name of Blaaz.[8] After clearing the Dungeon, Link will receive a Heart Container and the first of the three Servant Spirit,[9] Leaf,[10] who explains that he was locked away with the Oshus a long time ago, and wants to join Link in order to find out what happened to him.[11]
