Link returns to the Temple of Time, where he is greeted by a mysterious young man named Sheik, one of the few survivors of the ancient Sheikah tribe. He tells Link of Ganondorf's conquest over the last seven years, and of the legend of the Sages. He urges Link to awaken the five remaining Sages in the five Temples mentioned in the legend, which are scattered throughout Hyrule.
