'''Vaati''' is a recurring antagonist in ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda series]]''.

Vaati appears only in his Mage Form (An eye surrounded by black aura) and is the main boss in the game. He can be found at [[Vaati's Palace]]. At the beginning of the game, Vaati breaks out of the Four Sword and kidnaps Princess Zelda, who he intends to make his bride. He then carries her away to his palace lair in the sky.

Prior to the events of ''Four Swords Adventures'', [[Link]] had rescued [[Zelda]] and sealed Vaati within the [[Four Sword]]. Soon afterward, [[Ganon]]dorf stole the [[Dark Mirror]] from the [[Temple of Darkness]] and used it to create [[Shadow Link]].  

After reaching the [[Tower of Winds (Four Swords Adventures)|Tower of Winds]], the Links defeat Vaati once and for all. Soon after, they also manage to defeat Ganon and seal him within the Four Sword. Peace is returned to Hyrule once again, and the Four Sword is laid to rest in its shrine.

{{Spoiler|section}}

Vaati enters the game as the winner of a swordsman competition. It is revealed that he only won it for one reason: to get his hands on the [[Bound Chest|ceremonial chest]], which he believed contained the legendary [[Light Force]]. However, Vaati was wrong and when he opened the chest, there was nothing but monsters that escaped into the world. Angered, Vaati turned [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]] to stone and set out to find the Light Force. He cares little for [[Link#The Minish Cap|Link]], a seemingly harmless boy.  

As Link enters the Sanctuary for the final time, it turns out that the Light Force resided in Zelda herself. Vaati had followed Link, and revealed that he had disguised himself as the King of Hyrule since a little while back. He turns the entire royal castle into [[Dark Hyrule Castle]], which served as the final dungeon of the game. He had absorbed almost all of the Light Force from Zelda when Link interrupts him. Believing that he did not need more of the Force, Vaati tries to defeat him and transforms twice. However, Link succeeds and tries to escape with Zelda. But Vaati was not dead. He made one final try to kill both of them and gathered all of his power, transforming into the Wind Mage Vaati, a form he would retain in the ''Four Swords'' games. Vaati was finally defeated and sealed away, and his cap was purified by Zelda.
