The Temple of Light is a location from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It is a sacred palace located at the center of the Sacred Realm. The Six Sages reside in the Chamber of Sages inside of the temple. The Temple of Light may be accessed by way of the Temple of Time and the Pedestal of Time. The Master Sword, residing in the pedestal, is the key to the Sacred Realm. When it is drawn from the pedestal, a portal opens and it may lead to the Temple of Light.

[edit] History
When Link draws the sacred blade from the pedestal, he is sealed away by a magical light. Ganondorf, the Gerudo king of thieves, sees his chance and enters the portal, gaining access to the Realm, and ultimately retrieving the Triforce. Upon taking the Triforce, in the moment known as the Great Cataclysm, the Sacred Realm is transformed into the Dark World. The Hero's spirit is sealed away in the Chamber of Sages for seven years following the Cataclysm.
In the seven long years Link's spirit was trapped in time, Ganondorf and his army of Dark World monsters seized control of the Sacred Realm; the Temple being the only stronghold left. Rauru, the Sage of Light and last remaining sage, eventually awakens the Hero's spirit, now an adult, and ready to be the true Hero of Time. He grants Link the Medallion of Light, and the Hero sets out into Hyrule, now under the rule of Ganondorf, to awaken five other sages: Saria, Darunia, Princess Ruto, Impa, and Nabooru in order to add their power to the Temple of Light. In a final battle with Ganondorf, Princess Zelda reveals herself as the final and seventh sage.
Now with the seven sages awakened, their power formed a giant portal inside the Temple of Light, which engulfs Ganondorf, now morphed into Ganon, and seals him away inside the Dark World.
