Link: The Faces of Evil: Difference between revisions

Peace has since been restored to the land of [[Hyrule]], yet [[Link]] is feeling increasingly useless and bored with no adventures to go on. Suddenly a wizard named [[Gwonam]] arrives on his flying carpet, informing [[King Harkinian]] that [[Ganon]]'s army have taken over the island of [[Koridai]]. Ganon and his minions have begun enslaving the islanders and transforming them into monsters.<ref>{{Cite manual|quote=Koridai has fallen to Ganon and his evil friends! The gentle islanders are being transformed into blood-thirty warriors.|game=TFoE|page=2}}</ref> Although the King readily volunteers their aid, Gwonam explains that according to a written prophecy, Link is the only one who can defeat Ganon. As Link and Gwonam fly back to Koridai, the wizard tells him about the island's "Faces of Evil"; giant mountains and stone structures that are in the shape of Ganon's minions and are being controlled by them. Gwonam beseeches that Link must conquer each Face of Evil before facing Ganon himself, who has his own Face of Evil.

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!

You'd better get to work. Find Ganon, rescue Zelda and become the hero of Koridai!|game=TFoE |page=9}}</ref> As Link journeys to rescue Zelda and the islanders of Koridai, he confronts and defeats the masters of the Faces of Evil: [[Goronu (Boss)|Goronu]], [[Harlequin]], [[Militron (Boss)|Militron]], [[Glutko (Boss)|Glutko]], and [[Lupay (Boss)|Lupay]]. 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]].

After all other obstacles have been cleared, Link arrives at Ganon's Lair, where he confronts the villain and defeats him by throwing the Book of Koridai at him and magically imprisoning him inside. Ganon drops the key to Zelda's prison chamber, where Link finds her asleep. He rings a giant gong and wakes her up, exclaiming that he just saved her, though she teasingly does not believe him. Gwonam then appears and takes them back to Hyrule on his flying carpet, and proclaims Link as the Hero of Koridai.
