The Temple of Time (WIP with feedback appareciated)

The Temple of Time by Cavalier

Cloaked behind a grim, weather-worn facade utterly devoid of ostentation, the Temple of Time is imbued with power and properties unparalleled in all the land of Hyrule. Over shadowed by the greater majesty of Hyrule Castle, the Temple of Time looms an ancient brooding edifice of somber grandeur and enigmatic purpose whose origins are lost in the shadowy pre-dawn of history.
Standing apart from its sister temples scattered across Hyrule, the Temple of Time has no patron Sage. This highly anomalous fact is made even more strange by the manifold properties of the Temple, and its powerful connection with not only the Sacred Realm, but the Spiritual Stones, the Ocarina of Time, the Triforce and also the Master Sword which it houses. Some believe that Raru the Sage of Light, and the last of the ancient Sages was its guardian. Others have come to believe the Hero of Time to be the Temple's honorary guardian. Yet when considering the unfathomable antiquity of the Temple, and its relationship with the Ocraina of Time, others have pondered whether the Royal Family itself serves as the temple's guardians, with Hyrule Castle, and the fortress walls of the royal city being fashioned for the sole purpose of protecting the enigmatic temple. 
Regardless of the identity of its patron Sage, the temple serves as a gateway between worlds, space and time. During the age of the Hero of Time it was last remaining conduit between Hyrule and the Sacred Realm. 

Note- As noted this is not finished. I need to fact check this one before I go to much further, particularly the various functions of the temple. As I began writing this I realized how convoluted the nature of the Temple is. It definitely sits at the very nexus of the Oot mythos.
