In {{TMC}}, the importance of the Four Elements was revealed. They are the source of power of the [[Four Sword]], each element granting the wielder of the sword another "clone". In order to save [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] and stop [[Vaati]], [[Link]] had to find each element, scattered in four [[temple]]s throughout [[Hyrule]]. Each time he found a new element, Link brought it to the [[Elemental Sanctuary]] to upgrade his sword.

Revision as of 19:30, 25 December 2019
It has been suggested that the portion of this page concerning Royal Jewel should be made into its own page.
Should the target page already exist, this content should be merged into it where appropriate. Discuss this on article's talk page.
The Four Elements can be briefly seen in the introduction sequence of Four Swords, in front of the altar where Vaati is sealed. The upper parts of the Keys received from Great Fairies are also designed after them.
Four Swords Adventures
In Four Swords Adventures, the Four Sword Sanctuary lies in ruins and only a few remains lay on the Royal Jewels' pedestals. The Links need them in order to gain entrance to the Tower of Winds to save Princess Zelda.[3] They were in the possession of the spirits of four Knights of Hyrule, who were cursed to roam as Stalfos in the Dark World until the Links freed them. By doing so, the Four Elements, which were also cursed and turned into gates to the Dark World, were cleansed.[4]
The Minish Cap
In The Minish Cap, the importance of the Four Elements was revealed. They are the source of power of the Four Sword, each Element granting the wielder of the sword another "clone". In order to save Princess Zelda and stop Vaati, Link had to find each Element, scattered in four Dungeons throughout Hyrule. Each time he finds a new Element, Link brings it to the Elemental Sanctuary to infuse into his sword.
