Template:Dungeons The Tower of Spirits is a fortress that appears as the central dungeon within Spirit Tracks. The Tower of Spirits is very similar to the Temple of the Ocean King which appeared in Phantom Hourglass. Each floor of the tower has puzzles required to proceed to the next however, unlike its predecessor, there is a staircase that allows Link to skip over previously completed floors.[1]
Background
After the events of Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass Link, Tetra, and her pirate crew manage to find a new land to replace the sunken Hyrule. The land that would become the new Hyrule was not without its troubles as a monster known as the Demon King, Malladus. Despite their great power the Spirits were not powerful enough to defeat Malladus. In last ditch effort the Spirits used their last remaining power to create shackles to chain the Demon King and bind him to the Earth. These chains would be known as the Spirit Tracks and their lock would be the Tower of Spirits.[2]
