Isle of Ruins

The Isle of Ruins is an island found in the northeastern quadrant of the sea in Phantom Hourglass.

Features
Very odd in shape, the place contains numerous islands interconnecting with walkways, instead of just one piece of land. It is the location of the ancient Cobble Kingdom, and houses three pyramids containing the spirits of ancient knights, in addition to Mutoh's Temple. The water level can be lowered on this island, revealing more land. Properly exploring the isle might be difficult because of the many land levels. As Link explores the ruins, he must solve various obstacles and puzzles in order to gain entrance to Mutoh's Temple, where the Aquanine lies within.

At the entrance of the isle is a cave that must be explored in order to go deeper into most of the entire place. Southwest of the isle is a big maze, where certain stones provide clues for a riddle whose solution opens the way to the aforementioned Mutoh's Temple. The pyramid of the third Cobble knight (Bremeur) lies northwest, and it's where the island's water level can be lowered by using the King's Key. The pyramid of the second Cobble Knight (Doylan) lies northeast and, unlike the other pyramids, it's filled with numerous traps (lances, rolling rocks, and a hidden hole in the floor) and enemies; but if Link survives them, he will receive the aforementioned King's Key. Finally, the pyramid of the first Cobble Knight (Max) lies south, and visiting it allows Link to gain part of the access to Mutoh's Temple.

Southeast of the third knight's pyramid is a cave housing a Spirit Gem.
