The {{Term/Store|Hero's Trial||Series}} is a {{Term|FS|Stage|link}} in {{FSAE}}.<ref>{{Cite|HERO'S TRIAL|Map|FSAE}}</ref>

 

The {{Term|FS|Hero's Trial}} appears once either five {{Plural|FS|Medal of Courage|link}} or 30,000 total {{Plural|FS|Rupee|link}} have been obtained. Initially a rock spire on the eastern coast of {{Term|FS|Hyrule|link}}, lightning strikes the area to reveal a sword-like structure.

 

Like {{Term|FS|Vaati's Palace|link}}, the {{Term|FS|Hero's Trial}} entrance has three color-coded doors. However, each door has a unique set of non-randomized levels. Initially, only the silver and golden doors are visible, and the silver door must be completed first.<ref name="New Door">{{Cite|A door in the Hero's Trial has opened!|Stage Select|FSAE}}</ref>

 

Once the golden door has been completed, a shutter will open to reveal the third and final door.<ref name="New Door"/>

The {{Term|FS|Hero's Trial}} is themed on alternate versions of each of the four main {{Plural|FS|Stage|link}}. The door levels are based on  {{Term|FS|Sea of Trees|link}}, {{Term|FS|Talus Cave|link}}, and {{Term|FS|Death Mountain|link}}, respectively, with every door's third and final level being an alternate version of {{Term|FS|Vaati's Palace}}.

 

The levels are longer and significantly more difficult than all other {{Plural|FS|Stage}}, though they do not contain {{Plural|FS|Boss|link}}. There is a notable focus on combat within non-trivial rooms and environments in between puzzle or platforming segments. Such fights are typically activated via {{Term|FS|Big Switch|link}} to ensure all {{Plural|FS|Links|link}} are present. Unlike other {{Plural|FS|Stage}}, {{Plural|FS|Item}} are not kept across levels.

 

To commemorate the [[The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary|series's 25th anniversary]], a "25" design appears in certain level areas.

 

The silver door is based on a snowy version of {{Term|FS|Sea of Trees}}. The first level heavily uses {{Plural|FS|Hole|link}} hidden beneath leaf piles and involves using {{Plural|FS|Bomb|link}} to attack {{Plural|FS|Enemy|link}} behind short walls. There are also sections with numerous {{Plural|FS|Spiny Beetle|link}} hidden among groups of bushes. The second level focuses on using the {{Term|FS|Boomerang|link}} and {{Term|FS|Bow|link}} to clear bushes, activate {{Plural|FS|Switch|link}}, and defeat {{Plural|FS|Enemy}}. Segments also combine this with moving {{Plural|FS|Platform|link}} and {{Plural|FS|Switch Platform|link}}.

The golden door is based on a dark purple version of {{Term|FS|Talus Cave}}. The first level relies on the use of the {{Term|FS|Gnat Hat|link}} to maneuver across series of tiny moving {{Plural|FS|Platform}} and between small rooms. The second level focuses on the use of the {{Term|FS|Shield|link}} to slowly move cross narrow {{Term|FS|Ice}} floors.

 

There is a hidden {{Term|FS|Cracked Wall|link}} at the end of the first Ice path that has the same appearance as a normal wall. It serves as a one-way shortcut that skips a portion of the level, and requires that a {{Term|FS|Bomb}} randomly spawns from cutting a nearby bush.

 

The third level is based on precise movements across narrow areas surrounded by {{Plural|FS|Hole}}. {{Plural|FS|Blade Trap|link}} and fans that blow {{Term|FS|Wind|link}} also dot the landscape. Combat rooms are often crowded with {{Plural|FS|Enemy}} and have {{Plural|FS|Hole}} on one or more sides of the room. The final combat consists of six {{Plural|FS|Spiny Beetle}}, six {{Plural|FS|Stalchild}}, and two {{Plural|FS|Bow Moblin|link}}, followed by four more {{Plural|FS|Spiny Beetle}}, four {{Plural|FS|Fire Wizzrobe|link}}, and a {{Term|FS|Ball and Chain Soldier}}.

 

The 25th Anniversary pattern is presented in color-specific tiles in the middle of level 2. The tiles are invisible to {{Plural|FS|Links}} of a non-matching color.

 

|FSAE= Bomb, Boomerang, Bow, Gnat Hat, Magnetic Glove, Roc's Cape, Shield

 

|FSAE= Ball and Chain Soldier, Blade Trap, Bow Moblin, Bulbul, Eyegore, Flying Tile, Gel, Ghini, Gibdo, Helmasaur, Ice Wizzrobe, Keese, Moldorm, Spear Moblin, Spiked Beetle, Spiny Beetle, Stalchild, Tektite, Fire Wizzrobe, Zol

 

The hero's door is based on a desaturated purple version of {{Term|FS|Death Mountain}}. The first level requires the {{Term|FS|Roc's Cape|link}} for precise platforming over {{Term|FS|Lava|link}} and {{Plural|FS|Hole}}. It culminates with minor backtracking past {{Plural|FS|Ball and Chain Soldier|link}} and several {{Plural|FS|Stalchild|link}}. The second level has a non-linear progression through six locked rooms and uses various {{Plural|FS|Item}} for each section.

The third level is a series of rooms with groups of {{Plural|FS|Enemy}} trapped behind short walls and {{Plural|FS|Flying Tile}}. The {{Term|FS|Boomerang}} and {{Term|FS|Bow}} are used to detonate {{Plural|FS|Bombarossa|link}} before the {{Plural|FS|Flying Tile}} are exhausted and the {{Plural|FS|Enemy}} are released. The final combat consists of eight {{Plural|FS|Eyegore|link}} followed by five {{Plural|FS|Ball and Chain Soldier}} and four {{Plural|FS|Darknut|link}}.

Completion of the hero's door rewards the {{Plural|FS|Links}} with the ability to use the {{Term|FS|Hurricane Spin|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|You have cleared the Hero's Trial and learned the Hurricane Spin! Press the B Button repeatedly during a spin attack to do continuous Hurricane Spins!|Stage Select|FSAE}}</ref> This is reflected on the {{Term|FS|File-Selection Screen|link}} with a {{Term|FS|Hurricane Spin}} icon.

The 25th Anniversary pattern is presented in grated platforms near the end of level 1.
