Nintendo SwitchDungeon GuideGreat Sky Island
Zelda TotK — Temple of Time
Full Walkthrough
Every room, every puzzle and the Soldier Construct boss fight. Unlock the Paraglider and continue the main story. Answer above the fold — no video needed.
Last updated: May 2026 · Nintendo Switch · Chapter 1 — Great Sky Island
⚡ Instant Answer
Stuck in the Temple? Here's the Fix
The Temple of Time is accessed after completing all four Great Sky Island shrines — Ukouh (Ultrahand), In-isa (Fuse), Gutanbac (Ascend), and Nachoyah (Recall). If the temple door is locked, you are missing a shrine. Check your map for uncompleted shrine icons.
Most searched stuck point — the Goddess Statue inside: Offer all four Lights of Blessing (one per shrine) to the Goddess Statue. This triggers the door opening sequence.
Boss fight — Soldier Construct IV: Shoot the glowing eyeball on its head with a bow. Three hits stagger it for a melee punish. Repeat. Use the wooden weapons and bows found in the temple — your gear was stripped on the Great Plateau equivalent.
Required
All 4 Sky Shrines
01 — Accessing the Temple
The Temple of Time sits at the peak of the Great Sky Island and is the final destination of the game's opening chapter. To unlock the entrance, you must first complete all four shrines on the Great Sky Island and collect all four Lights of Blessing.
Once you have all four, navigate to the Temple of Time entrance — follow the path from the Room of Awakening where you started. The door opens automatically when you approach with all four Lights collected. Step inside and approach the Goddess Statue.
📌 Missing a Shrine?
Open your map and look for uncompleted shrine icons. Each shrine icon appears as a darker orange symbol when incomplete and a brighter gold when finished. If you are missing a shrine, the most commonly skipped is Nachoyah Shrine (Recall) — it is hidden in the cave system beneath the Room of Awakening where you started the game.
02 — Room-by-Room Walkthrough
| Room | Puzzle | Solution |
|---|
| Entrance — Goddess Statue | Offer Lights of Blessing | Interact with the Goddess Statue and offer all four Lights of Blessing. This opens the inner door. You may choose Heart Container or Stamina Vessel — see below for recommendation. |
| Main Hall | Locked gate with gear mechanism | Use Ultrahand to grab the large gear on the right wall. Rotate it so the protruding spoke aligns with the gate's locking bar. The gate lifts. Proceed through. |
| Water Room | Raise the water level to reach the upper platform | Use Ultrahand to grab the stone plug in the wall to the left. Remove it. Water flows in and raises to the upper platform level. Swim up or ride floating debris to the exit. |
| Pillar Room | Reach the high ledge | Use Ascend through the tall pillar in the room's centre. You emerge at the top. Walk across to the ledge. Alternatively, build a ramp using the stone blocks in the corner with Ultrahand. |
| Bridge Room | Extend the broken bridge | Find the wooden plank on the right. Use Ultrahand to attach it to the existing bridge segment extending it across the gap. Walk across. The plank stays connected. |
| Pre-Boss Room | Collect weapons before the fight | Wooden bows, arrows and melee weapons are visible on the walls. Use Ultrahand to grab them all — the boss room removes your prepared gear. You fight with what you collect here. |

03 — Boss Fight — Soldier Construct IV
Soldier Construct IV is a mechanical enemy with a large glowing weak point on the top of its head. The fight is straightforward but introduces Tears of the Kingdom's core combat loop: hit the weak point from range, close in for melee during the stagger, repeat.
1
Target the glowing eye
Draw your bow (collected in the pre-boss room) and aim at the glowing orange-yellow sphere on top of the Construct's head. The target is large and not moving quickly — aim carefully and fire. One arrow hit staggers it briefly but three hits to the eye stagger it fully for a melee punish window.
2
Close in during the stagger
After three successful eye hits, the Construct staggers and falls to one knee. Sprint in and attack with your melee weapon. Hit it three or four times before it recovers. Fusing a rock or metal object to your weapon (Fuse ability) deals significantly more damage than base weapon attacks.
3
Repeat and dodge its attacks
When it recovers it uses a spinning blade attack — dodge sideways or sprint away from this. It also throws energy projectiles in a straight line — dodge sideways. After dodging, re-aim at the eye and start the cycle again. Two to three full cycles defeats it.
🎗 Flurry Rush
If you dodge perfectly timed with the Construct's melee swing (the moment it connects), you enter a Flurry Rush — a slow-motion burst attack sequence that deals significant damage. This is the same mechanic from Breath of the Wild. Mastering it here makes the rest of TotK's combat significantly easier.
04 — Reward — The Paraglider
Defeating the Soldier Construct IV and completing the Temple of Time grants you the Paraglider — one of the most important items in the game. The Paraglider lets you glide from height indefinitely (limited only by stamina) and is essential for navigating the Sky Islands, reaching shrines, and exploring the map.
After receiving the Paraglider, Purah's transmission directs you to leap from the Great Sky Island toward Hyrule below. This is the end of the game's tutorial section. From here the full map opens and the three main quest lines — Temples, Crisis at Hyrule Castle, and Tears of the Dragon — are all accessible.
📌 Where to Go Next
The recommended first destination after leaving the Great Sky Island is
Lookout Landing — the large fortified camp visible from above. Purah will meet you there and give you access to the Purah Pad's full feature set including the regional map, Sensor+, and the Camera. All main quest lines branch from Lookout Landing.
