After completing his adventures in both [[Labrynna]] and [[Holodrum]], Link finds out that the cause of [[Veran]] and [[Onox]]'s mischief was the result of a bigger plan devised by the witches [[Twinrova|Koume and Kotake]]; A plan to resurrect the evil king Ganon. The actions of Veran and Onox caused the [[Flames of Sorrow]] and the [[Flame of Destruction]] to be lit. In an attempt to light the third and final flame for their ritual, Twinrova kidnaps Princess Zelda herself to be used as a sacrifice. Although Link is able to defeat Twinrova and save Zelda from the ritual, he cannot stop the resurrection of Ganon, as Twinrova ends up sacrificing their own body as a vessel for the evil king. | After completing his adventures in both [[Labrynna]] and [[Holodrum]], Link finds out that the cause of [[Veran]] and [[Onox]]'s mischief was the result of a bigger plan devised by the witches [[Twinrova|Koume and Kotake]]; A plan to resurrect the evil king Ganon.

Through a linked game, the player can go to a secret altar where they will fight Ganon. For the battle, Ganon will constantly be disappearing and reappearing. Sometimes he will appear and slash at you with his trident. He also has several variations on an orb attack: sometimes he will shoot three larger orbs, one large orb, or many smaller orbs. All his attacks including his trident slash can be avoided by jumping with the [[Roc's Cape|Roc's cape]]. Sometimes he also charges up for a jump which will stun you for a moment. Again, you can avoid this by jumping before he lands. To fight him, you must charge up a [[Spin Attack|spin attack]] when he isn't on the screen. When he appears, move next to him and hit him with the spin attack. When he begins to become low on health, he will change the room briefly to a strange blue room and back again. When the blue room is in effect, controls are reversed (if you press left, you will go right, etc) so you have to be careful. After many spin attacks, Ganon will be defeated and you will have beaten the game. | Through a linked game, the player can go to a secret altar where they will fight Ganon.
