Aided by Princess Zelda, Link is able to defeat Ganondorf and seal him and Vaati within the Four Sword. Link defeats Vaati and the Palace begins to collapse it's at this moment that Ganondorf appears before Link. Link finds the Dark Mirror and Princess Zelda aids Link in gaining access to the Palace of Winds Vaati's lair. After rescuing the Six Maidens and obtaining all of the Royal Jewels, Link enters the Tower of Winds, which later leads onto the Realm of the Heavens. Ganondorf sought to corrupt the Knights of Hyrule, turning them into monsters. The ancient sword allows Link to split into four separate bodies. The young hero then drew the Four Sword from the Sanctuary and in the process released Vaati. The dark persona of Link then fled into the portal in which lead to the Dark World, while Link followed in pursuit. The moment they opened the gates to the Sanctuary, Shadow Link appeared and he trapped the Six Maidens within separate crystals. In a moment of panic, Zelda called upon the six Shrine Maidens and Link to watch over the Sanctuary. One day in the Kingdom of Hyrule, Princess Zelda grew wary of the seal on the evil sorcerer Vaati. Within his devilish plot, Ganondorf attempted to revive the Wind Mage Vaati, and create a dark version of Link, known as Shadow Link. After gaining the Trident, Ganondorf obtained the Dark Mirror from the Temple of Darkness and proceeded to bring darkness to Hyrule. This sacred power was hidden within the Ancient Pyramid, in which Ganondorf gained entry to. The Evil King sought after a powerful relic known as the Trident. This was the second coming of Ganondorf, and he deified the new ways of the tribe. However, a new male was to be born among the race, as was the hundred year tradition within the tribe. The relationship between the Gerudo tribe and the rest of Hyrule grew strong, in contrast to previous conflicts. Centuries after the initial death of Ganondorf in the Twilight Era, peace had once again returned to the Kingdom.
