Okay- I'm only gonna do one scene from each temple, on the assumption that you've played the game before. I'm not going to explain all of the story because that would be long, back-looping, and tiring. Not to mention it would give the entire plot away. So let's start at dungeon four: Arbiter's Grounds.

I stood at the front of a large, imposing door at one end of a room- a room riddled with ghost rats, quicksand, and spikes. Not to mention dead corpses loping about that would paralyze you with their bloodcurdling scream and whack your head off with- what were they carrying? Clubs? Slabs of wood? The lids to their coffins? From this distance, I couldn't tell and didn't want to find out.

The quicksand was easy to jump across as a wolf- as long as I didn't stay in one spot too long or let the rats weigh me down. The spikes were a bit more challenging- I could never tell when they were about to pop up in front of me and send me flying in the opposite direction. I simply gave the mummies a wide berth, knowing for certain I could barely hold up against them.

I arrived at the door and collapsed. Midna floated by and congratulated me.

"Good job. You crossed an entire room of quicksand and didn't faint once."

I smiled weakly, but groaned inwardly. I would never be able to make up for my cowardly moments.

I walked to the door and said aloud, "Well. This is it. The final test. When we find that mirror, we'll find Zant. And we'll get that shadow armor back, so we can beat him." And I'll finally be able to go home, I added to myself. Midna smiled and gave me a thumbs up for the epic speech.

I returned to the door and opened it…

To find it was locked.

I searched my pockets. A fairy, a clawshot, spinner, potion…. I went through the entire inventory and found nothing labeled "Big Key".

Midna frowned. "What's the holdup, Link?"

"There's no key in here."

"What do you mean?"

"We must have missed it."

"Then we'll just have to go back…"

One hour of backtracking and a hurried epic speech later…

The door opened and I saw an arena with a HUGE dead dinosaur skeleton sticking out of quicksand. I walked down a path to it, and Zant teleported to the skull, stuck a red sword in the top, and vanished. He said something about "this will be the last thing you fight" before he left, but I was too afraid to listen. For the beast pushed itself off the ground and glared at me with huge red eyes.

While I was quaking in my boots, Midna was working out battle strategies.

"Look at him, he's got no feet-just a thin spine coming out of the sand. It you strike it, he might fall."

I beamed weakly. "Brilliant!"

I shoved off with the spinner and twirled across the sand, searching for an opening. When I found it, I ducked under his arms and slammed the spinner into the base of his spine. I heard a loud thwack as it splintered and the monster flailed his arms about. I had to leave, or I would be crushed. I hit his spine two more times, and the third time he sank into the ground and the quicksand receded. Only his head remained on the bottom, sword still poking out of the skull. Assuming it was safe, I hopped to the ground. The path was now far above me.

"Idiot," chastised Midna, "Now we can't get back up."

I realized this was true. But I found a mechanism on the floor and inserted the spinner. As I spun, a section of floor rose up with me on it, and became and Island in the middle of the arena. I was now level with the door, but separated by a large chasm.

Just then, the skull came back to life, hovered beside me, and knocked me off the edge. I stood up breathless and cursed. I climbed back up the island with the spinner, using the tracks that had been conveniently placed there for me. When the skull came back into view, I judged the distance right and jumped. The weight of the spinner and my inertia combined and smashed into it. It screeched and sank. I wasted no time in slashing the sword out of it, and within seconds it died-for real.

I was panting, breathless, before I realized quite what I had done.

"You killed it. All by yourself," said Midna quietly.

I sat back and couldn't believe it.

A bridge branched out from the island and I went back up. Another door materialized and I went through, hoping that the mirror of twilight would be on the other side.

Gamer POV- after the movie of the sages and Midna throwing a fit at the broken mirror-

I swore. No way! There were more temples? How annoying. And what was I even supposed to do to get to the next one? Midna was not giving away any hints.

I teleported to Castle Town and soon found that fish were disappearing mysteriously in the Zora Domain. Interesting….
