The Mirror Shards

First, Link and Midna set out for the frigid land of Snowpeak. Telma's acquaintance, Ashei, tells Link of a creature that has been spotted in Zora's Domain and gives him a Sketch she drew of it. She recommends that Link should not set out for the mountain without a plan, as the blizzards in the area are harsh. Link consults Ralis about the creature, and shows him Ashei's Sketch. Ralis recognizes the creature and remarks about the Reekfish it is holding. The Zora prince gives Link his Coral Earring and tells him that he can use it as bait to fish for Reekfish near the Mother-and-Child Rocks in Zora's Domain. Ralis decides to return to his village when the time comes. Link proceeds to Zora's Domain and catches a Reekfish. It gives off a Scent, prompting Link to transform into his Wolf form to sniff it. The Scent leads into Snowpeak and effectively serves as a path through the blizzard for Link. He ends up at the top of the mountain and finds the mysterious creature from Ashei's Sketch holding a large Reekfish, the source of the Scent. The creature's name is Yeto, and he reveals that he has found a Shard of the Mirror of Twilight. He invites Link to his house so he can obtain it. Yeto's wife, Yeta, has not been feeling well since her husband found the Mirror Shard, so they locked it in the master bedroom. Yeto reveals that he has been stealing Reekfish from Zora's Domain because it is a crucial ingredient for Soup to make his wife feel better.

Link consults Yeta, who tries to remember the location of the Key to the master bedroom. She gets the location wrong several times due to her illness, sending Link on numerous misadventures through the Ruins. Eventually, she finally gets it right and sends Link to the room where the Bedroom Key is located. Link collects the key, and Yeta greets him as he exits the room, having recovered from her illness by drinking Yeto’s soup. She offers to take him to the master bedroom where the Mirror Shard is located. When the two approach the Mirror Shard, Yeta stares into it, commenting on the Mirror's beauty. The Shard corrupts Yeta and transforms her into the gigantic Blizzeta, forcing Link to battle her. Eventually, Link defeats her, releasing her from the Mirror's influence. Link and Midna depart with the Mirror Shard as Yeto and Yeta share a warm embrace.

Link returns to the Sacred Grove in search of another Mirror Shard. He briefly places the Master Sword back into its Pedestal, revealing the door to the Temple of Time. While exploring the Temple, Link comes across an ancient item called the Dominion Rod. He uses this Rod to traverse the Temple and battle the corrupted guardian of the Mirror Shard, Armogohma. Link defeats Armogohma and acquires the Mirror Shard, but finds that the Dominion Rod's power has been drained upon leaving the Temple.

Renado summons Link to Kakariko Village and tells him that there is a chance of Ilia's memory being restored. A series of events leads Link to collect a Wooden Statue connected to Ilia's past, and he shows it to her. Upon seeing it, Ilia remembers that she was confined in the Hidden Village with someone else before escaping and arriving in Castle Town. Gor Coron reveals that the Village is located somewhere between the Eldin and Lanayru Provinces and sends Darbus there to clear the path for Link. Link discovers the path and finds Darbus destroying the debris of a rockslide that blocked off the Village, clearing the entrance. Link finds the Hidden Village overrun by Bulblins, and quickly disposes of them. The person Ilia was imprisoned with appears and introduces herself as Impaz, the last resident of the Village. She thanks Link for defeating the Bulblins and gives him Ilia's Charm. Link returns to Kakariko Village and shows the item to Ilia, successfully restoring her memory. Ilia reveals that her Charm was meant to be a gift for Link before he departed from Ordon Village, and gives it to him.

Ilia says that Impaz was awaiting the Heavenly Messenger who carries the Rod of the Heavens, and that she has been guarding something for this Messenger, prompting Link to return to the Hidden Village. Link shows Impaz the Dominion Rod, and she gives Link the Ancient Sky Book, realizing that he is the Messenger to the Heavens spoken of in legend. Link returns to Renado's Sanctuary and shows the Ancient Sky Book to Telma's friend Shad, who is investigating a mysterious statue in the cellar. Shad reads the word written in the Book, but it does nothing to the statue. Shad leaves in disappointment, but the Dominion Rod's power is restored, revealing the word to be a spell that imbues the Rod with magic. Link sets out to recover Sky Writing characters from the Owl Statues across Hyrule.

Link returns to Renado's Sanctuary with all of the characters, and finds Shad there. He says the newly formed word in front of the statue, and removes the seal on it. Link moves it, and finds a broken Sky Cannon behind it. Midna warps it to Lake Hylia, and Fyer agrees to fix it. Link uses it to launch to the City in the Sky, where the final Shard of the Mirror of Twilight is located.

After his arrival, Link sees a Dragon flying around the City, which terrifies the local Oocca tribe. Link traverses the airborne City and eventually reaches the pinnacle, where he battles the Dragon, Argorok, who possesses the final Mirror Shard. Link defeats it and acquires the Shard, saving the Oocca in the process.
