Many people believe or at least assume that the Temple of Time was relocated to the Sacred Grove After OoT for some reason or another.

However, in TP, you have to go through a seemingly magic door which leads you into the Temple of Time. This leaves a few possibilities-that the Temple of Time was hidden behind a door which only the Hero of Time could see, or that the door is a warp point-not just through space but through time.

See what I'm getting at? Perhaps-and only perhaps-the Tenple of Time in TP was the original version, and the 'magic door' is a link between different times, between space aswell.

Maybe the Temple of Time was built a long time before OoT took place, and served as a resting place for the legendary Dominion Rod-the ancient technology of the Oocca, who were forgotten by the time of OoT (in TP, only Midna, Shad and you know about them). The godesses saw that TP Link needed the Dominion Rod, and OoT Link didn't, so they created this door in time. They sealed off the rest of the world from the temple of time for TP Link, to avoid paradoxes and whatnot.

When it was discovered that the Dominion Rod was gone, the Temple was destroyed since it no longer had use, but by OoT, the godesses or others had rebuilt it to house an even more lagendary and vital item-the Master Sword.

I do know this quote-in OoT, it is said that the Temple of Time was built as a resting place for the Master Sword-but perhaps they meant the current Temple, and the myth of the original one had vanished.

Please comment on this theory, and have patience with me if it has already been suggested or if I'm missing something.
