Template:Dungeons Template:Sources

The Skyview Temple, sometimes referred to in-game as the Forest Temple, is a temple in Skyward Sword. Its miniboss is a Stalfos, and the main item obtained is the Template:It.

Entrance to the Temple

To reach the Skyview Temple, Link must make his way to the Deep Woods area during his search for Zelda. After aiding Machi, The Elder, and the other Kikwis, Link will be given the Slingshot. He can use the Slingshot to open the path to the Skyview Temple. To open the door to the Skyview Temple, Link must hit a Crystal Switch above the entrance by using his Slingshot. Link then walks inside.

Themes and Navigation

The Skyview Temple, true to its location, has a forest motif, in which luminiscent plants and flowers are located. Several parts of its internal architecture are in ruins, and the last room even houses a large chasm Link crosses with the help of vines he can untie with the help of the Slingshot. The dungeon only has one floor, but it makes it for the huge size of the rooms, as well as the population of enemies.

The temple often requires Link to hit Crystal Switches with the Slingshot to change the water level; raising said water will allow for further progression. Later, after defeating a Stalfos minboss, Link will be rewarded with the Beetle, a mechanical insect-shaped tool he can pilot towards inaccessible spots, which allows him to hit certain switches he could not before, in turn allowing him to open doors or even collect a Piece of Heart. It also grants him the ability to cut certain ropes around the Temple, making crates fall to the ground, and Skulltulas directly vulnerable to terrestrial attacks.

The boss of the Temple is Ghirahim, who is defeated by avoiding Ghirahim's guard being struck by Link's sword, or by countering one of Ghirahim's attacks. After Link damages Ghirahim enough and Zelda leaves the Temple, Ghirahim teleports away, leaving a Heart Container for Link to collect.

Link then leaves the temple to head to the Sacred Ground in the hopes that Zelda is there, but she is not. Link will hit the ancient symbol with a Skyward Strike to obtain the Ruby-colored Stone Tablet before automatically leaving.
