Sacred Land

The Sacred Land map.

The Sacred Land (聖地, Holy Land) is a sub-world found in The Dark Realm within Adventure Mode in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It is located at the end of the west path. The boss of this sub-world is Ganon.

The Sacred Land is entirely based on the Triforce from The Legend of Zelda. Owl statues from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask are scattered throughout and give players hints.

The Triforce of Courage section is based on the Lost Woods in Ocarina of Time. In order to solve the section, the player must rely on the owl statues. Most of the spirit battles contain fog reflecting the foggy atmosphere of the Lost Woods. While the player is in this section, Saria's Song / Middle Boss Battle plays.

The Triforce of Wisdom section is based on Kakariko Village in Breath of the Wild and features torches forming a clock. The player must light the torches for a given time to unlock certain appearances. While the player is in this section, Dark World (for 3DS / Wii U) plays.

The Triforce of Power section is based on the Gerudo Desert and the Gerudo Fortress in Ocarina of Time. This land cannot be accessed until the player activates the Master Sword in the center of the land. The Gerudo Desert portion is made of two paths. The right path features easier spirit battles, but with more spirits in general. The left path, referred to as the Path of Wisdom by one of the owl statues, features harder spirit battles, but with fewer battles. Both paths eventually merge in the Gerudo Fortress portion. While the player is in this section, Hyrule Castle (Outside) plays.

Spirits

The spirits found here are highly varied, though most relate to the Zelda series' themes of courage, wisdom, and power.

Trivia

• The battle types for the unlockable Zelda characters coincide with the color of the goddesses which held the Triforce parts represented by the characters.
• Although Bowser is unlocked by defeating Giga Bowser, Ganondorf is unlocked in a separate battle from Ganon, and is, in fact, mandatory in order to face Ganon.
• This sub-world's name is likely based on the "Sacred Realm" mentioned throughout The Legend of Zelda lore. The fact that it is in the Dark Realm could be an allusion to its transformation into the Dark World upon Ganondorf entering it in Ocarina of Time.
