Story

What happens in Ganon's Castle in the main story, with the lines from its cutscenes. All the steps in order are on the quests page.

Step 26 (Adult Link)

The Sages build a bridge to the castle. Inside, Link breaks the six barriers that guard the tower, one for each Sage.

Link...can you hear me? It's Rauru, the Sage.

We six will gather our power to create a bridge to the castle where Ganondorf dwells...

The castle's keep, which is known as Ganon's Tower, is protected by six evil barriers.

Bring down the six barriers and save Princess Zelda!!

Step 27 (Adult Link)

Beat the King of Evil at the top of the tower, escape the falling castle, and face him one last time. The Sages seal him away and the princess sends Link back to his own time.

YOU...

CURSE YOU...ZELDA! CURSE YOU...SAGES!!

CURSE YOU...Link!

Someday... When this seal is broken....

That is when I will exterminate your descendants!!

As long as the Triforce of Power is in my hand....

Side story (Adult Link)

Lift the pillar outside the castle and play the royal lullaby. The Great Fairy of Courage halves the damage Link takes.

Welcome Link! I am the Great Fairy of Courage!

I'm going to enhance your defensive power.

Receive it now!

Your defensive power is enhanced!

Your defensive power has been enhanced! Damage inflicted by enemies will be reduced by half.

When battle has made you weary, please come back to see me.

Near Ganon's Castle a black block that only the Golden Gauntlets can lift leads to a fairy who halves the damage Link takes.

In der Höhle dahinter versieht eine Fee Links Energieherzen mit einem Schutzschild, damit nur noch halb soviel Energie abgezogen wird!
