Elemental Sanctuary
First appearance The Minish Cap (2005)
Region Bridge between Hyrule Castle in the Light World and the Minish Realm

The Elemental Sanctuary is a realm bridged between the Minish world and the human world in The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. Its entrance way is found on the north wall of a courtyard within Hyrule Castle, although only Hylian children and the Minish themselves can perceive and enter it. The doorway to the Elemental Sanctuary opens only once per century.

Each time Link gathers one of the Four Elements, he is able to enter the Elemental Sanctuary briefly to infuse the element to the White Sword, reforged from the broken Picori Blade. The sword is filled with the elemental power when it is placed on the central pedestal in the room of the sanctuary. Once the sword has absorbed the power of all four elements, it becomes the sacred Four Sword and gains the ability to break people from Vaati's curse of petrification with its beams.

Depending on how many elements Link has infused with the sword, he has the ability to create temporary copies of himself when he has focused power in his blade while on top of glowing panels. Two elements make one copy, three elements make two copies, and all four elements allow Link to duplicate himself three times.
