'''Temple''' ({{ja|神殿|Shinden}}, ''Temple'') is a [[stage]] introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', which returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as a [[Melee Stage]], and in {{forwiiu}} and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a familiar stage. It is commonly known as '''Hyrule Temple''' (this name appears in ''Melee''{{'}}s instruction booklet at page 49), though its proper name is Temple (since "Hyrule" denotes Temple's location). Temple was first announced at [[E3]] 2001.

Temple is one of the eighteen default stages available in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. It is a ''{{uv|Legend of Zelda}}'' stage on which [[character]]s from that franchise (along with the characters from the {{uv|Fire Emblem}} franchise) will usually battle the player in the single player modes. The layout is based on the palaces from ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]''.

In ''Melee'''s [[All-Star]] mode, this stage is played on when {{SSBM|Zelda}} and her teammates are fought. It is also where Zelda will fight in {{SSBM|Classic Mode}} and will sometimes play the song "Lost Woods", from ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time''. Roy is fought here for his unlocking battle.

The underground area on the stage is referred to by ''Nintendo Power'' as the "Fight Club". It is termed so because battles there tend to produce disproportionately high [[damage]] totals because the surrounding environment has walls on all sides that can be [[tech|teched]] on, which keeps characters from leaving the stage and greatly increasing the difficulty of [[knock-out|KO]]ing them. The ease in which a high damaged character can survive in the Fight Club can often lead to players [[turtling]] inside. The area is also known by a variety of other nicknames by players.

This stage is loosely based on the [[zeldawiki:Dungeons in The Adventure of Link|palaces]] of ''{{s|zeldawiki|Zelda II: The Adventure of Link}}''. However, there are a few clear references: the top left portion resembles the entrances to the palaces, while the building on top of the mountain in the background resembles the sprite used to represent palaces in ''The Adventure of Link'''s overworld. The palaces in ''The Adventure of Link'' are also notorious for how immense and complex they are, which would explain why this is the largest stage in ''Melee''.

The platforms on this stage have Hylian writing on them. In ''Melee'', the writing appears to resemble the [[zeldawiki:Hylian Language|Hylian language]] in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time}}''; however, it is not actually based on the language. In ''Brawl'' onwards, it is based on the Hylian language from ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker}}''. When decoded, the text reads {{ja|スマツシユ・ブラザーズ|Sumasshu Burazāzu}}, which translates to "Smash Brothers".

'''Temple Race''' is a method of gameplay in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' that could be considered as a [[Special Melee]], though it must be set up through manual means. The mode features no specific data within ''Melee'', but gameplay of the mode is explained in the instruction booklet. The mode would only be possible with human players, as there are no [[CPU]] commands to co-operate with this type of Melee.

 

The suggested way to play ''Temple Race'' is to first set up a timed match on the Temple stage, with any time limit being allowed. The players must then choose the layout of a course, some of which may require usage of the Hyrule Jump, and then the player that can complete most laps of this chosen layout within the designated time limit is declared the winner.

Play a MELEE battle in '''Time Mode'''. Set the time and choose the HYRULE TEMPLE stage. Choose a particular route, then see who can complete the most laps within the time limit.

*Along with the platforms, [[Beta elements (SSBM)|early versions of the game]] featured an elevator to lead to the bottom of the stage; this does not appear in the finished form of the game.

*If {{SSBB|Sonic}} releases his [[Spin Dash]] while facing right on the stairs to the left of the large floating platform, he will shoot horizontally across the stage, going over any gaps, ignoring gravity, and [[self destruct]].

*This is the only ''Melee'' stage in ''Brawl'' that has at least one track that isn't from ''Melee''.

*In the PAL Spanish version of ''[[Smash 4]]'', the name for this stage is taken from [[Summit]].
