At some point after the {{Term|TotK|Imprisoning War}}'s end, the back wall of the {{Term|TotK|Secret Stone}} chamber | At some point after the {{Term|TotK|Imprisoning War}}'s end, the back wall of the {{Term|TotK|Secret Stone}} chamber was torn down and a hallway to a new chamber was built. This new chamber houses a {{Term|TotK|Floor Map|link}} that depicts the 11 {{Plural|TotK|Dragon's Tear|link}} atop the geography of {{Term|TotK|Hyrule}} at the time. This {{Term|TotK|Floor Map}} includes {{Term|TotK|Hyrule Castle|link}} at its center in the exact position it can be found in the future. An oculus in the ceiling sits over the {{Term|TotK|Floor Map}}, and inside this oculus there is a large {{Term|TotK|Light (Item)|link}} protected with {{Term|TotK|Zonai|link}}-style lattice. A stone memorial sitting just northeast of the {{Term|TotK|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 {{Term|TotK|Floor Map}} bear 11 blind arches depicting the {{Plural|TotK|Geoglyph|link}}, which are also found on diamond-shaped tablets on top of the {{Term|TotK|Floor Map}}. The {{Term|TotK|Mother Goddess Statue|link}} was also added at some point to the {{Term|TotK|Forgotten Temple}} after the {{Term|TotK|Imprisoning War}}, and the floor leading to the {{Term|TotK|Secret Stone}} chamber was heavily altered. {{Plural|TotK|Sundelion}} began to grow at {{Term|TotK|Sonia}}'s grave after {{Term|TotK|Rauru}} left one as an offering. | ||
In modern times, the Forgotten Temple now shows signs of travelers visiting, as {{Plural|TotK|Wooden Box|link}} and {{Plural|TotK|Board|link}} can be found throughout and around its grounds. Due to the {{Term|TotK|Upheaval|link}}, various features of the {{Term|TotK|Forgotten Temple}} have been altered. {{Term|TotK|Fallen Debris|link}} now dots the rooftop of the Temple, and there are now no longer any {{Plural|TotK|Updraft|link}} throughout its interior. The {{Term|TotK|Mother Goddess Statue}} has been toppled, and the {{Term|TotK|Mayausiy Shrine|link}} has appeared inside the {{Term|TotK|Forgotten Temple|display=Temple}}. The ground behind the {{Term|TotK|Mother Goddess Statue}} blocking the {{Term|TotK|Door|link}} to the {{Term|TotK|Secret Stone}} chamber has given way, allowing entry further into the {{Term|TotK|Forgotten Temple}}. This {{Term|TotK|Door}} bears a modified {{Wp|sefirot}} with eight circles and an {{Term|TotK|Eye Symbol|link}} carved into it. The bottom circle acts as a {{Term|TotK|Terminal|link}} which activates and opens the {{Term|TotK|Door}} when {{Term|TotK|Rauru}} uses his {{Term|TotK|Right Arm|link}}. This exact sefirot pattern can also be found on the {{Term|TotK|Temple of Time|link}} atop the {{Term|TotK|Great Sky Island|link}}. | |||
