Temple (stage)

Temple is a stage in Super Smash Bros. Melee, notable for being the largest selectable stage in the game. It is loosely based on the The Legend of Zelda series of games. Though not based on a specific area from any game, it most closely resembles the various temples and castles that Link visits in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, which is also the game that the stage's music originates from. It reappears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, in addition to a new unlockable arrangement of the music that plays on the stage, known as "Great Temple / Temple." The stage also reappears in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, in which its Omega form takes place on a flat platform in midair with parts of the standard form in the background, and both its standard and Omega forms are selectable in 8-Player Smash. The stage also returns in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, with a similar Omega form to the previous game.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee, the unlock battle for Roy takes place here, and an arrangement of the recruitment and title themes from Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light serves as the stage's alternate background music, as there is no Fire Emblem stage in the game. In later games, this arrangement plays on Castle Siege instead. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the unlock battle for Zelda takes place here.

Trivia

 * This stage is the only returning stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl to have a music track that is original to the game and not taken from Super Smash Bros. Melee.
 * In the Wii U version, the platforms have Hylian text on them. This text comes from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. When translated to Japanese, it reads "Super Smash Bros."
