Parting Ways

Link goes back to the temple of the Sealed Grounds, where Zelda has recovered. Link places the True Master Sword into the pedestal, and Fi bids Link a fond farewell before beginning her eternal sleep within the Master Sword. <br><br> Impa chooses to stay behind in the past to watch over the Master Sword and ensure that Demise's consciousness stays sealed within the blade. Zelda gives Impa one of her bracelets, and, possibly, uses magic to give Impa an extended life span. <br><br> Link, Groose, and Zelda go through the Gate of Time, but the other Zelda still sleeps within the crystal to maintain the seal on the Imprisoned, who was sent back into the seal in the Sealed Grounds when Link killed Demise. <br><br> Zelda or Impa use magic to conceal the Master Sword and the Tree of Life in the temple. <br><br> Many thousands of years pass, with Zelda sleeping in the crystal to maintain the seal on the Imprisoned.
