<noinclude>{{DISPLAYTITLE:{{SUBPAGENAME}}}}</noinclude>
The Temple of Light was built by {{Character|Rauru}} during the {{Era|Era of Chaos}} in order to protect the Triforce. It has been depicted several times, most notably during the events of {{Game|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time}}, {{Game|The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom}}, and {{Game|The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds}}. In {{Book|The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia|Hyrule Historia}}, the Temple of Light was built at the center of the {{Location|Sacred Realm}}{{Cite book|code=HHUS|pages=77|refName=hhuspage71}}.

== Depictions ==
=== Ocarina of Time ===
The Temple of Light is depicted as a serene location featuring a central pedestal with the same symbols as the {{Artifact|Sage Medallions}}. Small hexagonal pedestals can be found surrounding the main pedestal with each emanating a luminous blue color.

=== A Link Between Worlds ===
During the process of rescuing the {{Group|Sages}}, Link visits the Temple of Light several times. It is very similar to its counterpart in Ocarina of Time, but with a notable difference in that the individual sage pedestals each have a Hylian letter on them instead of Sage symbol, spelling out the word "Courage" in a circular fashion.

=== Tears of the Kingdom ===
At the end of the Seal War, {{Character|Ganon}} was sealed in a place that came to be known as the {{Location|Locations/Temple of Light/Imprisoning Chamber|Imprisoning Chamber}}. In {{Book|The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Masterworks}}, it notes that the Imprisoning Chamber once served a different purpose and that it is part of the Temple of Light complex {{Cite book|code=TOTKMW|pages=410|refName=totkmw410}}. The implications that the Temple of Light are beneath the castle would imply that the {{Location|Sacred Realm}} is actually located in a subterranean area. The Temple of Light was built directly over top of the ruins of the {{Location|Surface/Sealed Grounds/Temple of Hylia|Sealed Temple}} and by extension it would imply that access to the Sacred Realm would have been at the Temple of Hylia complex.
