The Hero's Trials

Link sees Fi in his dreams and is guided to the Goddess Sword. With it, he descends to the surface. A voice--possibly that of the Zelda sleeping in the crystal--tells him to use a Skyward Strike on the Sealing Spike at the bottom of the pit. <br><br> After he does so, the Sealed Temple unlocks. Link meets the old woman in the Sealed Temple. Unbeknownst to Link, the old woman has met him before. He is unaware that a second Zelda sleeps within the crystal in the other room, which he can see through the crack in the door. The old woman tells Link where Zelda has gone. <br><br> Young Impa, who has just been sent from the past for the first time by Hylia and thus has not met Link or the others before, follows Zelda, as does Ghirahim. <br><br> Link does not reach the Skyview Spring in time to meet Zelda, who has already prayed there. <br><br> Later, Impa rescues Zelda outside of the Earth Temple and helps her reach the Goddess Statue within. Link reaches the Earth Spring after Zelda and Impa have already reached it, and Impa chastises Link for arriving late, doubting his worth as the chosen hero. <br><br> Link reaches the Temple of Time in Lanayru, where Zelda has just used her power to activate the Gate of Time. Just as Link arrives, Ghirahim appears and attempts to capture Zelda. Impa holds him off while Zelda gives Link the Goddess Harp. Link rushes in to protect Impa after her magic shield gives way, and Impa tells Link to talk to the old woman in the Sealed Grounds temple. Zelda and Impa then go through the Gate of Time, which Impa destroys to prevent Ghirahim from pursuing them. Ghirahim disappears.
