Sacred Flame: Difference between revisions

After [[Link]] helps [[Princess Zelda#Skyward Sword|Zelda]] and [[Impa]] escape from [[Ghirahim]] at the [[Temple of Time]], he returns to the [[Sealed Grounds]] and is told by the [[Old Woman]] there that there is a second Gate of Time in the [[Sealed Temple]] that can be activated with a [[Skyward Strike]].<ref>{{Cite|The great slab standing before you is  known as a Gate of Time. It is the last of its kind in existence... The only portal binding our world to the one where Zelda now resides.|Impa|SS}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|...As you can see, the gate is nothing more than a slab of cold stone for now. It is sleeping. Rousing it from its slumber would require great power. Yes, I believe a shot of holy light from your Skyward Strike might just do it...|Impa|SS}}</ref> However, Link must first temper the Goddess Sword with the Sacred Flames to give it enough power to open the Gate.<ref>{{Cite|Ah, sorry to disappoint you, boy, but for now your sword lacks the power necessary to awaken the gate. First, you and your sword must grow together.|Impa|SS}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Faron Woods... Eldin Volcano...  and Lanayru Desert... A sacred flame is hidden somewhere in each of these lands. Seek them out, and purify your sword in their heat. Only after your blade has been tempered by these three fires will it be fully imbued with the great power for which you search.|Impa|SS}}</ref> To do this, Link must conquer three [[Silent Realm]] trials and acquire the Goddess's treasures.<ref>{{Cite|The sacred flames are three in number. To obtain them, you must also earn relics known as the three sacred gifts. For each trial you overcome, you shall be blessed with one of the gifts...|Fi relaying a message from Hylia|SS}}</ref> Each of the Sacred Flames is named after one of the [[Golden Goddesses]], and they each enhance Link's Sword in a different way. After obtaining each of the three Sacred Flames, the Goddess Sword transforms into the [[Master Sword]]. After fighting off [[The Imprisoned]] in the [[Sealed Grounds]] a second time, Link travels through the Gate of Time in the Sealed Temple to the distant past to reunite with Zelda. As the reincarnation of the Goddess [[Hylia]], Zelda grants the Master Sword a final blessing, transforming it into the True Master Sword, a blade capable of smiting evil which only Link can wield.<ref>{{Cite|The goddess has blessed your blade, and the Master Sword has at last achieved its ultimate form! The sword is now imbued with the mythical power to drive back demons, and only Link may wield it!|N/A|SS}}</ref>

'''Nayru's Flame''' is housed within the [[Sandship]],<ref>{{Cite|This is Nayru's Flame, vrrm! Just looking at it makes my circuits hum, vweeeeep. In fact, the protection of the flame is what allowed us to fix the ship so quickly, brrzrrt!|Skipper|SS}}</ref> which was once protected and helmed by [[Skipper]] before pirates stole it.<ref>{{Cite|It was the day of the storm, phoo-weep... My crew and I were navigating the seas as usual, vrrm... And then those brutes, bzzt... the pirates, suddenly attacked us, brrzt. They were after Nayru's Flame, zzpt. My crew was imprisoned...vrrrt... and I was thrown into the sea!|Skipper|SS}}</ref> It enhances the [[Dowsing|dowsing abilities]] of the Goddess Sword, allowing [[Fi]] to search for [[Rupee]]s, [[Treasure]]s, [[Gratitude Crystal]]s, and [[Goddess Cube]]s.<ref>{{Cite|The flames of Nayru have transformed your blade, expanding Fi's powers. She can now help you use your dowsing ability to search for more objects!|N/A|SS}}</ref> It is rechristened the "Goddess White Sword."
