Ganondorf's Execution takes place many years following the Link's return to the past at the end of Ocarina of Time.[1] The following events are explained to Link by the Sages in Twilight Princess once Link has completed the Arbiter's Grounds. The Demon Thief, Ganondorf, was sent to the Arbiter's Grounds to be executed by the Sages.[2] However, by what one of the Sages calls a "divine prank",[3] Ganondorf survived because he had been chosen by the gods to wield the Triforce of Power.[4]
The Hero of Time's Return
After the events of Ocarina of Time, Link was sent back into the past to relive his childhood by Princess Zelda.[5][6] With the knowledge of future events and the proof of the Triforce of Courage, Link told the young Princess Zelda of what would happen in the future.[7] The Princess then passed the information onto the Royal Family and Ganondorf was captured and sent to be executed.
Failed Execution
Several years after he had been caught, the time for the execution of the Demon Thief dawns. Ganondorf is chained to a giant stone slap atop the Arbiter's Grounds, within the Mirror Chamber. One of the Sages then draws the Sword of the Six Sages and thrusts it into the abdomen of Ganondorf. However, by a "divine prank",[3] the Triforce of Power shines bright on the hand of Ganondorf and he avoids death, killing one of the Sages as he breaks free of his shackles.[4] In a rush of panic, the remaining Sages seal him within the Twilight Realm via the Mirror of Twilight.[8]
