Link visits Levias in hopes of garnering a clue about the Triforce. After Link brings some [[Pumpkin Soup]] into the [[Thunderhead]] and defeats [[Bilocyte]], Levias tells Link that although he doesn't know the exact location of the Triforce, he does have a clue. He instructs Link to gather three parts of the Song of the Hero from each of the three dragons, and then he would sing the final part for Link. Link can collect the pieces in any order, but it is advised to go to [[Lanayru Desert]] last, due to a game-breaking glitch that may render a save file unplayable.

When Link first arrives at [[Faron Woods]] in search of the piece from the [[Faron|Water Dragon]], he is unable to land directly in the woods for some reason and must instead land near the [[Sealed Temple]]. If he goes to the [[Sealed Grounds]], he will have to fight [[The Imprisoned]] for the third time in the game. It is then revealed that the Faron Woods have been flooded for some reason. Then [[Groose]] can use the [[Groosenator]] to send Link into the flooded woods, where he can locate [[Faron]] the dragon. She will send Link to fetch [[Tadtone]]s before she will sing her part of the Song of the Hero.

If Link attempts to go to [[Eldin Volcano]] while searching for the Song of the Hero, he will be blown off course while landing and wake up imprisoned and without any of his items except the [[Goddess's Harp]]. A [[Mogma]] named [[Plats]] retrieves Link's [[Mogma Mitts]] so that he can dig his way out of the prison. Link must then sneak around the volcano and gather each of his items. He locates the majority of them on the [[Volcano Summit]], including his sword and [[Fi]]. After that he can find [[Eldin]], the Fire Dragon, in a cave within the summit area.

In [[Lanayru Desert]], Link can finally crawl through a small hole in [[Lanayru Caves]] due to [[Golo]]'s digging. He will enter a desolate area known as [[Lanayru Gorge]], where nothing but a large pile of bones and some deactivated robots lie. After obtaining a [[Small Key]] with the [[Beetle]], Link can access a large cave system with a [[Timeshift Stone]] in a minecart, which can then be transported through to the outside. Once the Timeshift Stone settles into a spot in the middle of the gorge, it will spread throughout most of the area and go back in time to when the Thunder Dragon, [[Lanayru]], was still alive. However, the dragon is very sick, so Link takes the [[Life Tree Seedling]] and plants it in the Sealed Temple after going through the [[Gate of Time]]. Back in his own time, the sapling grows to become a large, thriving tree with a [[Life Tree Fruit]] that can heal the Thunder Dragon. Once healed, Lanayru sings his part of the Song of the Hero to Link.

*The first part of the Song of the Hero closely resembles the overworld theme from ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Game)|The Legend of Zelda]]''.
