==Features==
==Location and Uses==
The Gate of Time looks like a giant gear being spun by two smaller gears in either upper corner. It has 12 teeth and a symbol on each tooth, bearing resemblance to the hour indicators on a clock. The [[Triforce]] can be seen in the center of the gear surrounded by the [[Goddess Pearls|symbols]] of [[Din (Goddess)|Din]], [[Nayru (Goddess)|Nayru]] and [[Farore (Goddess)|Farore]] and what appears to be musical notation. When the gate is touched, a spiral of hollow, blue gear shapes appear to indicate that it is open, and the original glassy surface reappears when it is closed.
