In the Gerudo Desert you take over Ganondorf. His advance begins with building his own army. First take the accessible keeps in the southern oasis and in the middle of the desert. Then defeat the gatekeepers at the prisoners in the southeast, north and northeast to free your future allies.
Fight the three big monsters separately
Work your way to the settlement in the southwest and capture its two keeps. The goal then takes you to the four Aeralfos at the sanctuary in the northeast. Look at their markings if individual enemies have already run out of the original area. Once they are defeated, Gohma, King Dodongo and Manhandla appear.
Catch the three bosses separately. When they meet, they are reinforced and the fight becomes unnecessarily tough. For Gohma you have the bow ready up to the black eye. King Dodongo gets bombs in his open mouth when sucked in. You can meet Manhandla’s lighting up heads with the Boomerang. After the right tool, the melee phase follows the exposed weak point.
Ganondorf’s Piece of Heart lies in the raised keep on the cliff edge. Get it when the monster route is under control. The first Skulltula of this battle hangs on the northeast wall near the Judgment Fortress after 1,000 enemies have been defeated. With the defeat of the three monsters, Ganondorf’s army is ready for the next attack.
Valley of Seers: Identify the Real Enemies
In the Valley of Seers you first secure the western and eastern sanctuary. The first Impa to appear is a doppelganger. Defeat them and then the marked Goron captains in the northern area. This makes the real Impa visible, who wants to go to Lana.
Catch Impa. Their attacks deal significant damage if you continuously run into them head-on. Dodge sideways and use the end of her sword sequence for your counterattacks. Then follow the search for Lana. The first Lana isn’t the right one either; the further trail leads to the fairy spring in the south.
There Attack Lana and her doppelgangers before they escape the battlefield. Keep an eye on the diverging targets on the map instead of continuing to follow an enemy that has already been killed. The Skulltula after defeating 1,000 enemies lies under a rock in the northeast. With Lana’s defeat, Ganondorf’s attack on Hyrule continues.
Hyrule Field: Intercept Link and Zelda
At the start of the next battle, accompany Zant to the northwest to open the rock checkpoint. When Link appears in the south, you interrupt the escort and confront him. Defeat him and then go back to Zant. The goal remains the same transition; You don’t have to completely clean out every keep along the way.
Afterwards, Impa runs to the fairy spring. Intercept them and defeat them before their help hinders the further attack. Now Link and Zelda appear again and advance towards your northern base. Find both of them and defeat them. An external keep that has already been secured is of little help to you if the two of them are fighting directly in the headquarters.
The 1,000-enemy Skulltula is located under a rock in the northeast near the Ostfeld Fortress in this battle. After the victory, the Triforce is in Ganondorf’s hand. For the finale, the story returns to Link and his allies.
