The '''Gates of Time''' are a pair of gates that appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. Each gate is capable of creating a portal through time to travel to the era just after [[Hylia|Hylia's]] fight with [[Demise]].<ref>{{cite|That is a Gate of Time.

Link travels to the [[Sealed Grounds]] where the [[Impa|old woman]] reveals the existence of a second Gate of Time. [[Ghirahim]] learns about the second Gate of Time from a drawing in the [[Fire Sanctuary (Skyward Sword)|Fire Sanctuary]].<ref>{{Cite|Look at these old drawings!

After Link wishes upon the Triforce for the destruction of [[Demise]] in the present, Ghirahim abducts Zelda and takes her through the gate in an attempt to revive Demise in the past. Link and [[Groose]] follow through the gate to rescue Zelda, and after they succeed, they use the gate a final time to return to the future.

*The pattern on the gate can be seen on the game's [[Gallery:Box Art|box art]]. On the boxart, the words "Wisdom", "Nehru", "Power", "Din" and "-rol" can be seen written in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' [[Hylian Language|Hylian]]. This text has been removed from active Gates of Time, but can be faintly seen on the broken gate in the [[Temple of Time]].
