Link adventures through Koridai and along the way meets several islanders who have evaded capture. At [[Firestone Lake]], Link and Gwonam realize that [[Princess Zelda]] was captured by Ganon and put under a sleeping spell since Link left the castle.<ref>{{Cite manual|quote=NEWS FLASH!

He also retrieves the [[Book of Koridai]] after defeating Glutko which he brings to the reader [[Aypo]] in [[Nortinka]]. Aypo translates its verses and reveals that Ganon can only be defeated with the Book. Link also later finds Gwonam's residence at the [[Hermit Flat]] and is given the [[Lantern of Vision]] to help him see the [[Sancromy|Sancromies]] that swarm [[Ganon's Lair]].
