| − | ==''Phantom Hourglass''== |
||
| − | ===Uses=== |
||
| − | Force Gems return in {{PH}}. They are used in [[Temple of the Ocean King]] and are an integral part of multiplayer [[Battle Mode]]. In the temple, they are used to complete a [[Triforce]] symbol in the ground that will open a door. These are gold-colored and slow down Link while he is carrying one. [[Oshus]] at one point in the game explains that the [[Sand of Hours]] are made out of Force Gems from the [[Ocean King]].<ref>{{cite|It is said to be made of Force Gems of the great spirit, the Ocean King.|Oshus|PH}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Battle mode force gems vary in size. The colors are changed during gameplay but the value of points remain the same. The larger it is, the more it is worth and heavier to carry. The Golden colored Force Gems signify an unclaimed Force Gem. The player colors for the Battle Mode are red and blue. Each will have [[Safe Zone]]s in respective colors. The safe zones serve to hide Link from the [[Phantom]]s and the colored safe zones will change a Force Gem to its color, which adds its value to that players score. The neutral safe zones will turn red or blue gems back to gold and subtract the values from the scores. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Locations=== |
||
| − | Force Gems are found in floors three and twelve, both having three each. They're usually found on chests which can only be found and opened after solving puzzles, and it's not uncommon that other Gems are held by [[Phantom]]s as well, requiring Link to stun them first. In floor nine, the role of the Force Gems is taken by the geometrically-shaped crystals found in floors seven and eight. |

||
| − | ===Uses=== |
||
| − | [[Image:Gem.png|50px|left]] |
||
| − | Force Gems return in {{ST}} with a more integral role within the story and universe. Force Gems lie within the various temples across [[Hyrule]] with the role of powering the [[Tower of Spirits]], and they also serve as the [[Spirits of Good#Symbol of the Spirits|symbol of the Spirits of Good]]. After the Tower of Spirits is destroyed by [[Chancellor Cole]], [[Link#Spirit Tracks|Link]] must travel to temples and unlock each of of their Force Gems to restore and repair the Tower. This also restores more [[Spirit Tracks (Rails)|Spirit Tracks]] in its respective realm, usually revealing tracks that act as a shortcut to the Tower of Spirits. |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[Image:Force Gem.png|50px|left]] |
||
| − | Spirit Tracks can also be restored when the citizens of Hyrule feel a great emotion of gratitude, usually when Link helps them out, creating other Force Gems as a result of the [[energy]] emitted by their spirits.<ref name="Anjean">{{cite|As I am sure you know, happiness and gratitude create energy. Well, I am deeply grateful to both of you for all of your help. I cannot help you directly, but I can at least give you this Force Gem.|Anjean|ST}}</ref> These Force Gems are necessary to completely restore all of the realms' Spirit Tracks as well as to uncover all of the hidden stations, such as the [[Lost at Sea Station]] and [[Disorientation Station]].<ref>{{cite|You got a Force Gem!

Link must hit the Force Gems with [[bomb]]s from his [[cannon]] to activate the Warp Gate and allow him to easily transport between realms. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Battle Mode for ''Spirit Tracks'' has Link collecting as many Force Gems within the time limit while also trying to dodge various traps and attacks from Phantoms and other players. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Locations=== |
||
| − | There are 25 Force Gems in the game. Four of them are restored (rather than collected) after beating the temples. Below is a list of the locations of the 21 ''extra'' Gems, which are ordered by place appearance unless otherwise noted. |

Revision as of 23:36, 22 December 2015
[[File:File:Moon Pearl.png.png|20x20px]] [[|]] The Moon Pearl is a recurring item in the Template:Series, first appearing in Template:ALTTP.
Appearances, Location and Uses
A Link to the Past
In Template:ALTTP, the Moon Pearl is a shining gem which protects Link from Ganon's magic, allowing him to retain his normal shape while in the Dark World.[1][2] Other humans entering the Dark World are transformed into shapes which reflect their "True Nature", or personality. This is shown by the pair of men on Death Mountain, as well as Link himself. The bully is transformed into a demon-like creature because of his devilish nature, and the other man turned into a ball because he could never make up his mind. Link's "true nature" is apparently a cute little pink bunny rabbit, probably due to his kindness and compassion. The Moon Pearl can be found in the Tower of Hera.
Four Sword Adventures
In Four Swords Adventures, the Moon Pearl is a mysterious gem which is used to activate Moon Gates. In the game, they are said to guide its user into the Dark World,[3] which is true since Moon Gates are used to access the Dark World.
Unlike its predecessor in Template:ALTTP, there appears to be more than one Moon Pearl, and while its function also seem to differs, they are both related to the Dark World. They are sometimes given to the Links, who have the distinct ability to sense Moon Gates, by civilians in hope of being saved.[4] In dungeons, they're often found in chests and are usually required to solve a certain puzzle.
When a Moon Pearl is brought nearby a unactivated Moon Gate, which is recognized by giving off a radiant glimmer, the pearl will glow as well. If brought too close, the Moon Pearl will burst, and a Moon Gate will appear. Because of this, each Moon Pearl can only be used once, forcing Link to find a new Moon Pearl for each new Moon Gate.
