The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD Guide › Overworld: Return to the Sacred Grove

Task 4: Obtain the Giant Wallet

Return to the Sacred Grove: The Wayward Poe

This hidden exit is a ramped path leading to an upper balcony overlooking the Sacred Grove square where you acquired the Master Sword. The temple entrance must be around here somewhere. Head across the grass, optionally smashing skulls (for Hearts). You can even creep up on the birds as a wolf and try to speak with them. Then head to the large block with the Hyrule crest on it, and push it off the ledge.

Before you enter the temple, there are a couple of outstanding treasure-hunting matters to attend to! Run off the ledge, past the ancient open chest, and down to the first arena where you fought Skull Kid, long ago. Move to this vine wall and Clawshoot to the top.

At the top is a ledge, but of more interest is a Spinner track running the circumference of this glade. Step on your Spinner and ride it to a ledge. Get off and inspect the chest. There’s a new Stamp in here for your trouble.

Overworld Chest #87:

Hylian Letter Stamp X

Did you notice the Hylian Hornet nest as you were spinning around the grooved track? You can fire at it from this chamber, and pick up the larvae in the previous chamber (Chamber 10).

Poe Soul #51

Now head into the glade where you found the Master Sword, and wait until the sun sets. This is where a Poe resides, and it’s easy to forget about him. Brandish your fangs and leap at the Imp Poe, grabbing his soul. Only nine more to go!

Poe Soul

You got the Poe Soul! Collect one from each Poe you defeat! Poe Soul #51 of 60.

Arriving at the Temple of Time

Now stride to the place where you drew the Master Sword, and insert it into the grooved holder. The statue that was standing at the entrance to the temple vanishes. Draw back your blade, and head toward the entrance.

The block you pushed down now allows you to enter and exit the Temple of Time easily.

Warp Portal

As you head past the two statues, a portal rips into existence, and five Twilit Messengers descend. However, a flock of Keese also descends on you! Spin attack as they all close in for a vicious takedown! Defeat all the Keese first, as they play havoc when you’re trying to keep two final Twilit Messengers from falling. When only two Messengers are left, try a couple of short swipes and herd them together. Then finish them with a spin attack. Another portal is now available. You need not return through the Sacred Grove to reach here!

Now run around through the gap in the wall, past the broken chest, and up and over the block you pushed. You’re now at the entrance to the Temple of Time itself. Open the doors! Ahead is a bleary view into the past, when this Sacred Grove was a mighty temple! Step inside.

You emerge in an entrance chamber, exactly as this grove looked many centuries ago. Head down the steps and you can see the two statues you moved earlier, still guarding this place. Head down the steps and make a right turn.

Golden Bug: Female Snail

Collection: 24 (of 24)

You can spend a few moments smashing some pottery, collecting the Hearts and arrows that you find, and looking at another owl statue (have you noticed that they’re all around Hyrule?). Now look for your final Golden Bug: the Female Snail on the staircase. Grab it with your Gale Boomerang. You’ve done it! All 24 are yours!

Female Snail

You caught a Female Snail! Bug fans love that golden color!

Congratulations! This is the earliest possible time you could have collected all 24 Golden Bugs! Remember to claim your reward!

Technically, you can warp out of the Temple of Time, and head back to Castle Town, either before or after you complete the next dungeon, and visit Princess Agitha. Present all the Golden Bugs to her. You may wish to purchase the Magic Armor if you haven’t already. When you give her the 24th Golden Bug, her bug ball is deemed a success and she thanks you with an even more copious Wallet!

Giant Wallet

You got the Giant Wallet! It’s a symbol of a distinguished citizen in the insect kingdom. It can hold up to 2,000 Rupees!
