The Faron Woods is an area featured in Twilight Princess. The woods are connected to Link's home village of Ordon. Link first enters Faron woods while looking for Talo, who ran off chasing a monkey. The next time he enters Faron Woods, however, it is covered in twilight, and Link is pulled in by a Shadow Beast. The Triforce on his hand shone, causing the beast to drop him. Link turned into a wolf for the first time and this is also the start of his adventure, tasked to restore light back to the forest and complete the first temple, the Forest Temple.
Template:Spoiler After getting all three Fused Shadows, Zant will turn Link into a wolf and gravely injure Midna. Link takes Midna to Hyrule Castle through a secret route found in Telma's Bar, with the help of Louise. After reaching Zelda, she heals Midna and tells Link the way to break the curse laid on him is to obtain the Master Sword, located in the Sacred Grove deep inside Faron Woods.
South Faron Woods
Located in Southern Faron Woods are the Faron Spring and Coro's Lantern Oil Shop. It also has an exit to Ordona Province and Hyrule Field. One Owl Statue can be found here.
Faron Spring
Faron, the light spirit of Faron Province, lives in Faron Spring as the guardian of the woods. After light is restored to Faron Province, Faron returns Link to human form and gives him the Hero's Clothes. The Great Fairy will send fairies to this and all other Light Spirit springs upon completing the Cave of Ordeals. This also enables her to warp Link to this spring during subsequent plunges through the Cave of Ordeals.
Coro's Shop
Coro runs a lantern shop in South Faron Woods. When he first meets Link he gives Link a Lantern for free in hopes to boost sales for Lantern Oil. Link must get the lantern while chasing Talo and the monkey in order to make it through a dark cave.
North Faron Woods
North Faron Woods is home to the Faron Woods Swamp, Trill's Potion Shop, the Forest Temple, the entrance to the Sacred Grove, and, deeper in the Sacred Grove, the Temple of Time.
Faron Woods Swamp
The Faron Woods Swamp is between South and North Faron Woods. It is not exactly a swamp, as it is filled with a purple fog which kills Link if he touches it, much like what happens when falling into quicksand. The fog can be burned away with the lantern. A monkey will demonstrate this on Link's first trip to the Forest Temple by stealing his lantern and swinging it around on a stick. The first time this fog is encountered is when Faron Province is covered in twilight. Midna can help Link to jump across the fog over various logs and rock outcroppings. The upper canopies of the trees are densely populated with Deku Babas(And, in twilight, Twilit Babas).
Trill's Potion Shop
A shop that seems to be owned by Coro and run by his pet myna bird, Trill. Link can easily steal red potion or lantern oil from this shop, but must beware that Trill will attack if Link doesn't pay up. If Link simply puts 1 rupee in the payment box, Trill will not attack.
Forest Temple
Main article: Forest Temple
Located deep within the woods is the Forest Temple, which is home to many monkeys that you must rescue to reach the boss' chamber. The temple is full of many Bomblings and Skulltulas, as well as wind-operated switches attached to rotating bridges.
Sacred Grove
Main article: Sacred Grove
The entrance to the Sacred Grove is located to the west(east in the Wii version) of the path to the Forest Temple. It is reached the first time with Midna's help to jump onto tree roots across the large chasm. The second time, Link must fly across the gap using the Golden Cucco given to him by Rusl.
Temple of Time
All that remains in the present time is the Master Sword, a part from some ruins. The actual Temple of Time can be accessed through a single pair of doors that appear to lead only to the other side of the door with nothing on the other side, however upon opening the door, Link is transported into the Temple of Time, in the past.
Similarities
The entrance to the Forest Temple resembles the remains of the Great Deku Tree from Ocarina of Time.Also, the theme for Faron Woods resembles the theme for Forest Haven from The Wind Waker.
