The guards catch Link and lock him in a cell whose only exit is high up; the Hookshot gets him out onto a balcony overlooking the fortress.

Doch mit Hilfe des Enterhakens fällt es ihm leicht, sein Gefängnis wieder zu verlassen. Er steht nun auf einem Balkon, von dem aus er die gesamte Festung überblicken kann.

Four carpenters are held in the fortress; wooden crates inside help Link hide from the guards, and arrows knock the patrolling guards out. The map marks routes inside the fortress in red and outside in green.

A chest on the fortress roof is reached with the Hookshot and the scarecrow.

Da freut er sich, daß er die Kiste auf dem Dach ganz leicht von seinem Gefängnis aus mit dem Enterhaken und der Vogelscheuche erreichen kann.

Scoring 1,000 points at horseback archery earns the Gerudos' respect and a Piece of Heart.

Erzielt er 1.000 Punkte beim Bogenschießen zu Pferde, zollen die Gerudos ihm ihren Respekt und belohnen ihn reich!

Once Link has freed the carpenters, the Gerudo warriors change their minds and challenge him to horseback archery.

Doch da er beweist, welch ein exzellenter Kämpfer er ist, ändern sie ihre Meinung über ihn und bieten ihm an, seine Fähigkeiten im Bogenschießen mit den ihren zu messen.
