Linkle’s story consists of five battles in Hyrule Warriors Legends and the Definitive Edition. It runs alongside Link’s path and ends after his fight against Ganon. Use the ocarina and activate owl statues as you pass them. The quick return routes are particularly helpful when the escort and headquarters are threatened at the same time.
Faron Woods: Retrieve the Compass
First chase Skull Kid to the northwest and activate the owl statue there. It evades you and moves to the north square via the eastern keeps and the eastern tree. Defeat the gatekeeper in front of this keep and take it over. Linkle’s Piece of Heart appears in a chest there.
Then search for Horror-Kid in the marked keeps. After the initial discovery, the pursuit continues to Fairy Spring in the northeast. Defeat his larger companions there too so that they don’t immediately run to the southern base after you leave. For the optional chick escorts, you accompany the respective chick to the marked feeding place and keep enemies away on its short path. Complete these side trips before the final defeat of Skull Kid if you want to complete them in the same attempt. Linkle then receives her Compass back.
Sealed Grounds: Defend the Golden Cucco
In the Sealed Grounds you fight with Fi at Linkle’s side. Defeat the small exiles and intercept the Moblins advancing towards the base from the south. The Golden Cucco at headquarters is not allowed to escape. Therefore, divide the tasks: one character stays close to the threatened route, while the other tackles the more distant goals.
Eliminate the newly spawning summoners before their troops multiply. This is followed by stronger attackers and the optional chick escort. With the owl statues activated you can switch between the outer path and the base. As Ghirahim marches to the headquarters, you intercept him or face him right there. Defeat him without leaving the Golden Cucco unprotected. Linkle’s next level of crossbow is in the eastern keep.
Lake Hylia: Bring three specialists to the goal
Linkle starts in the west Water Temple, Ruto on the other hand. Darunia is cut off outside after the entrance was sealed. Go to the north exit and protect it three specialists who run there. Only when all three are standing at the gate can it be opened. Find the one that is stopped by enemies instead of stopping in front of the rest who are already waiting.
Then go to Darunia and free him from his attackers. At the same time, opponents advance against the base in the southern temple area. Send Ruto there and switch to her when she reaches the intercept point. Linkle stays with Darunia and then accompanies him to the enemy headquarters. There, defeat Volga. Darunia is not allowed to escape during the escort.
Palace of Twilight: Twili Midna’s true form
The adult Twili Midna will help you in the Palace of Twilight. Split the initial push between the two marked keeps and eliminate the summoner to the northeast. Intercept the troops advancing from the west and capture the remaining keeps. On the 3DS there is an Aeralfos that you can weaken by conquering keeps; on Switch you also have to keep the dark Aeralfos in the middle square away from the base.
Accompany the two messengers in the south to their destinations and keep the base clear. After the conquests, you can defeat Shadow Zant in front of the locked room. In the Definitive Edition, the adult Twili Midna then has to step to the red door so that it opens. Go in and defeat Twili Midna’s dark counterpart who is holding Zelda captive.
Ganon’s Tower: The Last Defense
Linkle’s Final Battle will be accessible after the original finale at Ganon’s Tower. Rescue the beleaguered allied monster captains, but cut this path immediately if Gibdos advance on the castle. With Impa as a second character, one side can be defended while Linkle reaches the other.
Conquer the marked keeps and pay attention to the dark king Dodongo: As long as his dark reinforcement lasts, even bombs at the right moment won’t help. First defeat the strong opponents to the east and west and the new horde from the southeast. Only then does Dodongo lose his protection. Now throw bombs into his mouth while sucking him in and use the opened weak point phases for victory.
