After [[Link]] defeated [[Agahnim]] in Hyrule Castle, Agahnim sent him to the Dark World, and deposited him on top of the pyramid. Later, after Link defeated Agahnim in [[Ganon's Tower]], Ganon fled to the Pyramid of Power. Link destroyed him, and rescued the [[Triforce]], which Ganon kept inside the pyramid. A lower stage of the pyramid was also home to the cursed [[Great Fairy#Fat Fairy|Fat Fairy]], who gives Link the [[Silver Arrow]]s and the [[Swords of A Link to the Past#Golden Sword|Golden Sword]]. It may be that the top of the Pyramid was once the spot where the Triforce shined down upon the rest of the [[Sacred Realm]], this being due to a picture of the Sacred Realm prior to its corruption from the manual of ''A Link to to the Past'' in addition to the steps that allow one to ascend to top of the pyramid from below and its location at the very heart of the Sacred Realm. | After [[Link]] defeated [[Agahnim]] in Hyrule Castle, Agahnim sent him to the Dark World, and deposited him on top of the pyramid.

Given that the [[Dark World]] is merely the corrupted [[Sacred Realm]], it is theorized that the Pyramid of Power may, in fact, be the [[Temple of Light]]. The temple is said to exist in the center of the Sacred Realm<ref>{{cite|The Temple of Light, situated in the very center of the Sacred Realm, is the last stronghold against Ganondorf's evil forces.|Rauru|OoT}}</ref> | Given that the [[Dark World]] is merely the corrupted [[Sacred Realm]], it is theorized that the Pyramid of Power may, in fact, be the [[Temple of Light]].

Both buildings are also shown to be the site linking the Light World and Sacred Realm, both in {{OOT}} (for the Temple of Light) and in {{ALTTP}} (for the Pyramid of Power). Both structures also serve as the ultimate resting place of the Triforce. These many parallels increase the likelihood that the two structures are one and the same. | ||
