Sahasrahla

Hmmm... So at last you have the three Pendants... Good! Now head for the Lost Woods. If you are the true Hero, the sword will choose you to wield it...

I am but an old man. I can't even grip the hilt of my sword... You are all I have to rely on.

I am, indeed, Sahasrahla, the village elder and a descendant of the seven sages. ... ... Oh really? I am surprised that one so young is searching for the sword of evil's bane, Link. Not just anyone can use that blade. Legends say only the Hero who has won the three Pendants can wield the sword. ... ... ... Do you truly wish to find it? ▶ Uh, yeah... Of Course!

Good! For your first test, can you retrieve the Pendant of Courage from the East Palace? If you bring it here, I shall share more of my knowledge with you. Now, onward to the palace!

Other relatives of the seven sages are also hiding from the wizard's followers. You should seek them, as well.

Link, it is I, Sahasrahla. I am communicating with you across the void through telepathy... The place where you now stand was the Golden Land, but evil power turned it into the Dark World. The wizard has broken the sages' seal and turned the gate to Hyrule Castle into a portal linking that world to this. In order to save this half of the world, the Light World, you must win back the Golden Power. You must also rescue the seven maidens who Agahnim sent to the Dark World. As descendants of the seven sages, they have power that will surely aid you. The maidens are locked in hidden dungeons full of evil creatures and dangerous traps. The Palace of Darkness should be your first goal in this world! Link, you are our last hope. Please make this old man's wishes come true. I beg you!

But I sense your helplessness. Before you go any further, find the Moon Pearl on Death Mountain. It will protect you from the Dark World's magic so you can retain your heroic figure.

An item that shall aid you is hidden in the cave on the east side of Lake Hylia. Go find it!

So, you got the Pendant of Courage! Then I shall tell you more of the legend... Generations ago, an order of knights protected the Hylian royalty. These Knights of Hyrule were also guardians of the Pendant of Courage. It has been said that whenever disaster waylays the royal family, a Hero shall emerge from the bloodline of the Knights of Hyrule... Unfortunately, most of them were destroyed in the great war against evil that took place when the seven sages created their seal, so it was thought that a hero would never again emerge... But lo! I believe you are our hero, Link! Find the remaining Pendants. And carry this with you. It is a treasure passed down by the families of the sages. I want you to have it.

You are correct, young man! I am Sahasrahla, the village elder and a descendant of the seven sages. ... ... ... What? Link, I'm surprised that one as young as you is seeking the sword of evil's bane. Not just anyone can use that sword. According to the tales handed down by the Hylians, only the Hero who has destroyed three great evils and won the three Pendants can wield the sword... I see you have acquired the Pendant of Courage. I will tell you about the legend behind it. Generations ago, an order of knights protected the Hylian royalty. These Knights of Hyrule were also guardians of the Pendant of Courage. It has been said that whenever disaster waylays the royal family, a Hero shall emerge from the bloodline of the Knights of Hyrule... Unfortunately, most of them were destroyed in the great war against evil that took place when the seven sages created their seal, so it was thought a hero would never again emerge... But lo! I believe you are our hero, Link! Find the remaining Pendants. And carry this with you. It is a treasure passed down by the families of the sages. I want you to have it.
