{{Spoiler|section}}
The game's final battle consists of Ganon yelling at Zelda for bringing light into his lair, and threatening to punish her with death. The battle is rather anticlimactic as all you have to do is use the [[Wand of Gamelon]]. Zelda uses the Wand of Gamelon to bind Ganon in "[[The Chains|the chains]]"  and sealing him in a book. Ganon informs her that she has not seen the last of him.

Zelda proceeds to rescue her father, but they cannot find Link, so they go have a feast. At the feast, [[Lady Alma]] accidentally brings link back by breaking a mirror (possibly a reference to the [[Dark Mirror]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'').
