The Realm of the Heavens is a location from The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures. It is the final level of the game and is made up of three stages: the Realm of the Heavens, The Dark Cloud and the Palace of Winds. As in other levels Tingle's Tower will appear on multi player mode.

[edit] Realm of the Heavens stage

The Realm of the Heavens is the first stage of the level of the same name. Most of the stage is played on the clouds, with portals leading to solid areas below. It features many of the boss enemies from previous levels, including Chief Soldiers, Manhandla, Ball & Chain Trooper, and Dodongos.

In order to pass the first area, Link must obtain the Roc's Feather from the north area. Further on, Link finds the Magic Hammer, which can locate treasure beneath the clouds by powering it up before slamming it down on the clouds. A new feature of the level is colored bridges. Similar to colored blocks of previous levels, only the correctly-colored Link can cross them. In order to pass a particularly long bridge, Link must collect the Pegasus Boots by activating four switches in an area covered by colored bridges.

After the bridge has been crossed, Link stumbles upon a moving platform, which he must use to navigate a maze of fire-breathing statues to reach a switch, thus revealing four pedestals with Bombs. Prior to the Boss fight, Link must defeat two Dodongos. Upon their defeat, four chests containing Level 2 Bombs appear. They are vital to defeating the Big Dodongo that appears. Once it is defeated, Link can continue to The Dark Cloud after breaking the Vaati Barriers.
