When ''Tears of the Kingdom'' begins, Link and [[Zelda#Tears of the Kingdom|Zelda]] are exploring the [[Beneath Hyrule Castle]] area after [[Gloom]] started appearing. The pair find the corpse of [[Ganon#Tears of the Kingdom|Ganondorf]], which comes to life and destroys the cavern. In the process, Ganondorf destroys Link's right arm and leaves the [[Master Sword]] unusable. Zelda falls into the crumbling ground and Link attempts to save her, but is unable to, and she disappears into a bright light. The mysterious hand that was holding Ganondorf in place saves Link and takes him to an unknown land.
 
Link awakens on the [[Great Sky Island]] with a functioning, but not normal, right arm. A voice guides him outside, after which he obtains the [[Purah Pad]] and reaches the [[Temple of Time (Tears of the Kingdom)|Temple of Time]]. Unable to open it, [[Rauru (Tears of the Kingdom)|Rauru]] instructs him to explore the shrines on the island and obtain their power. Through this, he obtains various abilities - [[Ultrahand]], [[Fuse]], and [[Ascend]]. This allows him to enter the Temple of Time, through which a vision of Zelda grants him a fourth ability - [[Recall]]. Link explores a fourth shrine, which gives him the health necessary to open the door to the back of the Temple. Here, he finds a bright ball of light, which he places the Master Sword into. The Sword disappears and travels back in time to Zelda. Zelda asks Link to find her in Hyrule, and Link makes his descent down to land.
 
In Hyrule, Link meets up with [[Purah]] at the [[Lookout Landing]]. She finds Link's stories about all that has transpired to be wild, but advises him to meetup with the crew at [[Hyrule Castle#Tears of the Kingdom|Hyrule Castle]] for more information. While there, Link sees Zelda in the distance before she flies into the Sky and disappears. Purah advises that Link investigate the [[Regional Phenomena]] that have been occurring all across Hyrule to see if there is any connection.
 
At this point Link travels across Hyrule, helping to resolve the problems of the [[Rito]], [[Goron]]s, [[Zora]], and [[Gerudo]]. At each he defeats the monsters that the Demon King had sent, and at each he sees more images of Zelda, who repeatedly disappears in front of him. When the people of Lookout Landing see Zelda on the floating Hyrule Castle, he flies there and chases her down. When he finds her at the [[Sanctum]], Ganondorf appears and explains his ploy of a lookalike Zelda to distract Link while Ganondorf's power grows. Ganondorf attempts to kill Link by summoning [[Phantom Ganon]], who Link defeats. He then attacks Link with Gloom, though the [[Sage]]s prevent this from working.
 
Purah realizes that there was a sixth Sage in the description of the [[Imprisoning War]] who is unaccounted for. Link finds this Sage, [[Mineru]], in the [[Depths]], and constructs a body for her spirit to reside in. Mineru explains to Link a story of the Imprisoning War and her experiences with Zelda in the past. Zelda worked to restore the Master Sword to its normal, evil banishing state. Link now needs to find the Sword somewhere in Hyrule.
 
After traveling to meet the [[Great Deku Tree]] and resolving his Gloom affliction, the Tree tells Link that he can still sense the Sword's presence. He does not know, however, why the Sword is moving across Hyrule. Link finds the Sword impaled into the head of the [[Light Dragon]] and, after restoring enough of his own [[Stamina Wheel|Stamina]], retrieves it. He is given another vision of Zelda, who says that the Master Sword is key to defeating Ganondorf, and she invested her power into it.
 
Link then travels deep into the Depths to find Ganondorf, traveling down the same path he and Zelda originally explored. After he and the Sages fight off the Demon King's Army, Link bests him in one on one combat. The Demon King makes one final attempt to annihilate Hyrule, and consumes his [[Secret Stone]], turning him into the [[Demon Dragon]]. With the help of the [[Light Dragon]], Link destroys the Demon Dragon and Ganondorf.
 
After Ganondorf's defeat, Rauru and [[Sonia]] use their remaining power to change the Light Dragon into its original form - Princess Zelda. As Link and Zelda fall to the ground, he successfully saves her. Zelda awakens, and is happy to see that Link was able to obtain the Master Sword and defeat Ganondorf.
