After the three ages, the group reunites at the Temple of the Sacred Sword. Accompany your allies to the seal statues to the north, west and south. Defeat the enemies that stop them along the way. As soon as activation stalls and new ghost troops appear, the search for the traitor begins.
The fake Lana and the Master Sword
Search for Lana’s doppelganger and defeat her. Watch out for her markings and for her to attack you. Simply fighting the ghost troops that keep appearing does not eliminate their cause. Dodge Lana’s area attacks and counter from the side. With the doppelganger defeated, the statues are fully activated and the temple opens.
Go through the opened halls and defeat the gate guards on the way to the Master Sword. There is a weapon chest for Zelda in the southern temple hall. After finding the sword, Wizzro. Fight him back and follow his retreat west. Zelda has to stay safe through this; If she is threatened, you stop the pursuit and help her first.
You may have to return for this mission’s heart rewards: Zelda cannot get her Heart Container until a later playthrough when she is selectable for the mission. It lies under the blastable rock in the southwest. Fi receives a Piece of Heart in the northern temple hall. The 1,000-enemy Skulltula lies under a rock in the northwest.
Temple of Souls: Defeat Dark Link
In the Temple of Souls you first secure the two magic chambers in the northwest and northeast. Stop the flow of magic by conquering both keeps. This makes Cia’s room accessible. Go in and face Dark Link. Keep enough space to dodge and attack following his sword sequences. If you push him against a wall, take a step back instead of continuing to fight in a confusing manner.
After the first victory, more Dark Links appear in the temple. Find their markers and fight them one by one. At the same time, Toon Zelda remains vulnerable outside the actual temple interior. When new reinforcements are reported, check their situation and repel the advancing captains before tackling the next doppelganger.
More shadow fights follow in the sorceress’ hall. As soon as the allies intervene and the retreat begins, you accompany them south. Ganondorf stands in Zelda’s way. Defeat him so the group can escape and the mission can be completed. The first Skulltula is behind a blastable wall in the Midwest. You can find Impas Heart Container under a rock in the southeast; Fi gets her Piece of Heart by conquering the Southern Rose Garden.
Valley of Seers: Weaken Cia’s reinforcements
For the renewed attack on the Valley of Seers, the sanctuaries must be secured. Start in the west and then support Zelda at the eastern sanctuary. As soon as Lana discovers the southern objective, you conquer that too. Zelda is not allowed to flee: help her with the strong attacks announced before you attack a keep further away.
Cia is now sending her reinforcements. Accompany the preparations for the fairy spring and lure Volga to the area in front of the spring before you trigger the magic circle. So his reinforcement is canceled. Defeat him, use the red jars for healing if necessary and only then work your way north to Cia.
Identify Cia among Her Doubles
Cia uses projectiles, magic fields and summoned enemies. Leave the announced attack areas and then use the break for short combinations. As it multiplies, you deal with the enemies that appear without being surrounded by several at the same time. Special attacks are suitable as soon as several targets are safely within range. This part of the story ends with Cia’s defeat.
In this battle, Links Heart Container lies under a rock to the north; Midnas Piece of Heart appears after conquering the eastern area. The Skulltula for defeating 1,000 enemies is hidden under the rock southeast of the Eastern Shrine. The perspective then changes to Ganondorf.
