Eastern Temple
The Eastern Temple is a recurring Dungeon and Stage in The Legend of Zelda series.(FSAFour Swords Adventures | EoWEchoes of Wisdom)[1][2]
Overview
Four Swords Adventures
The Eastern Temple is the third Stage in Eastern Hyrule. It is explored after dealing with the issues that had befallen the neighboring town, the Village of the Blue Maiden, and the far sea at The Coast.
This Temple is a sinister shrine filled with clever traps, feisty enemies, and a gigantic boss, the Stone Arrghus, fought and defeated at the temple's end in order to gain access to the room holding the Yellow Shrine Maiden. The temple incorporates trickery, as several chests hold Big Bombs instead of treasure, careful footwork, used to great effect in the long hallways littered with small, moving iron balls, and mastery of the Moon Pearl, as the Dark World is accessed few times to progress. Enemies such as the Wizzrobe are common to this realm, often popping up in an otherwise vacant rooms without notice, as do the Rats and Keese familiar to all shadowy, dank regions.
One of the more unique aspects of this Temple is the vine-laden labyrinth the Links encounter at the Temple's halfway point. Thick ivy covers Bomb-able walls, which must be removed to progress, however, with the many distractions, Enemies, and diversions built into the labyrinth, it is quite easy to lose one's path during navigation.

The Eastern Temple is located in Eastern Hyrule Field, north of Lake Hylia. A Hylian researcher named Sago stands outside of its entrance, terrified of a mysterious voice inside.[3] He allows Princess Zelda entry inside in the hopes that she will destroy the Monster inside that is the source of the voice.[4]
The Dungeon is heavily focused on the positioning of Enemies and Objects in addition to Electricity-themed challenges. Sparks can be found plentifully in the interior of the Temple, moving along set paths. In order to successfully navigate the Temple, Princess Zelda must manipulate the contents of the Temple, such as by sending Sparks into yellow boxes. These boxes act as Switches that will activate whenever the required amount of Sparks has entered them.
The source of the voice is located at the end of the Temple. As Zelda enters the final room, she is met by Smog, who challenges her to a "game".[5] In this game, Smog follows around the Objects inside the room like a Spark while periodically shooting Electricity at Zelda. It also splits into Smog Parts, which must be reunited in order to defeat it.[6] After Smog is defeated, it will concede defeat and leave behind 59 Rupees and a Piece of Heart.[7] Afterwards, a blue Warp Point will appear to bring Zelda back to the entrance of the Temple. Outside, Sago will reward her with an Ancient Charm for chasing the Monster out of the Temple.

Bah! You scared me!
— Sago (Echoes of Wisdom)Sorry...frayed nerves. The name's Sago—I'm an archaeologist. Is there any particular reason you're here?
— Sago (Echoes of Wisdom)I hope it's not to go inside. There's a monster in there.
— Sago (Echoes of Wisdom)The other day, I went inside, and I heard this creepy voice...
— Sago (Echoes of Wisdom)Let's play a game, shall we?
— Smog (Echoes of Wisdom)Oh yeah, that's exactly what it sounded like.
— Sago (Echoes of Wisdom)Yipes! OK, I'm opting out! It might sound friendly, but that's the voice of a monster! I'm not studying the temple while there are monsters about...
— Sago (Echoes of Wisdom) - ↑
I wish someone would slay that monster!
— Sago (Echoes of Wisdom) - ↑
At long last, a visitor! I was absolutely starved for company.
— Smog (Echoes of Wisdom)Let's play a game, shall we? I'll make the first move. Just try to keep up!
— Smog (Echoes of Wisdom) - ↑
I suppose you won that round. Forgive me if I get a little...broken up!
— Smog (Echoes of Wisdom) - ↑
Guh, fine! It seems I need more practice.
— Smog (Echoes of Wisdom)When next we meet, I will emerge the victor. You can count on that!
