The Armies of Ruin

"" is the first HWDE: of the HWDE: arc of HWDE: in.

Overview
HWDE: begins with HWDE: having a dream of playing the HWDE: in a grassy field. Suddenly, the sky turns from light blue to dark purple and the ground begins to shake, followed by an unknown dark substance that starts chasing after HWDE:. HWDE: drops her HWDE: and runs, the HWDE: sinking into the dark substance. The substance catches up with HWDE: and overwhelms her, then she wakes from her dream. HWDE: tells the alarmed HWDE: about the recurring nightmare, to which HWDE: states that it could be a dark omen for HWDE: HWDE: states that they must find the reborn spirit of the hero, HWDE:, to help protect HWDE:. Heading outside, HWDE: and HWDE: look down at the NaN Soldiers in training, to which HWDE: states that they will find no hero there and should look elsewhere. HWDE: notices one HWDE: in training with more skill than the rest, HWDE:. Before she can think further, a HWDE: runs up to HWDE: and reports that a horde of NaN Enemies is marching towards HWDE:. HWDE: orders HWDE: to prepare the armies for battle and leaves.

When the HWDE: begin their siege upon HWDE:, the HWDE: intercept them in HWDE:. As a trainee, HWDE: defies his orders to join the confrontation and runs out into the battle. Fighting breaks out throughout HWDE:, with large amounts of NaN Enemies worrying HWDE:. HWDE: searches for HWDE:, but finds that she is separated by a wall of NaN Boulders. HWDE: appears and quickly fells many of the lesser HWDE: with ease, surprising HWDE:. Afterwards, HWDE: encounters a HWDE:, who hides within HWDE:'s body and introduces herself as HWDE:. HWDE: enthusiastically attempts to maintain a conversation with HWDE:, only to conclude that though he speaks little. HWDE: and HWDE: search for a way to rid of the NaN Boulders and rescue HWDE:. After defeating enough NaN Enemies, the HWDE: opens revealing the HWDE:.

HWDE: and HWDE: fight with HWDE: to keep him back from HWDE:. HWDE: accepts their challenge with a claim that he will win. As HWDE:'s health reaches the halfway point during the battle, he will stop the fight and attempt to destroy HWDE: and HWDE: with a blast of fire. HWDE: becomes shocked after learning that the two were protected by HWDE:'s HWDE: and decides to flee from the fight. Annoyed, the HWDE: opens the HWDE: and sends out another wave of NaN Enemies. A HWDE: pleads for assistance as he is attacked by a HWDE: and a legion of NaN Bokoblins. Once HWDE: rescues the HWDE:, the HWDE: will open and the HWDE: thanks HWDE: and recommends that he takes the treasured NaN Bombs within it. After the NaN Bombs are obtained, NaN Bokoblins will seal the HWDE: with NaN Boulders, which must be destroyed using the newly-obtained explosives. Just outside the HWDE:, a smaller HWDE: can be destroyed with the NaN Bombs to reveal a HWDE: containing 375 NaN Rupees. The NaN Bombs are also necessary to destroy the NaN Boulders blocking the HWDE:, which leads to the area that HWDE: is defending. After HWDE: captures the HWDE:, the two areas will reconnect so HWDE: and HWDE: can reunite. When HWDE: joins with HWDE:, she recognizes him as the promising trainee that she observed in HWDE: prior to the assault on HWDE:.

Suddenly, more HWDE: appear and the HWDE: and the HWDE: open. After reuniting, HWDE: commands her troops to capture the HWDE: and HWDE: and to close their respective gates. A HWDE: will declare that his forces can capture the HWDE: on their own and requests that someone else captures the HWDE: in his place. The HWDE: orders his troops to kill HWDE: and the HWDE: and advance towards the HWDE:. Once the two NaN Keeps are captured, their gates to the north will become sealed off preventing travel in both directions. Before they are closed, the HWDE: may make their way northward and capture the NaN Keeps to the north, including the HWDE:, where the HWDE: is situated. If he is attacked, he will retreat, saying that he has other matters to take care of. A side mission will also start when a HWDE: appears and moves to the HWDE:, to which HWDE: orders to defeat the HWDE: and take the HWDE:.

After the HWDE: and HWDE: have been captured, HWDE: will travel to the HWDE: to call upon the HWDE: for help. However, the entrance to the HWDE: is blocked by a cracked wall, which must also be destroyed with the NaN Bombs. During this time, the HWDE: may break through the barriers from the northwest and east, requiring the Hyrulean Forces to divert their attention to stop them. Once the wall is destroyed, HWDE: and HWDE: may pray to the HWDE: together by using the newly-charged HWDE:. The HWDE: enhances the HWDE:' NaN Bombs and detonates them across the battlefield to greatly weaken the HWDE:. Afterwards, the HWDE: receive a HWDE: boost and HWDE: leaves the battlefield.

In response to this, the HWDE: will summon HWDE: in the HWDE:. HWDE: will begin his rampage south towards HWDE: and so must be defeated quickly. After HWDE: is defeated HWDE: compliments the army. A HWDE: informs HWDE: that the HWDE: has taken HWDE: and merely used HWDE: as a distraction. With HWDE: under the control of the HWDE:, HWDE: disappears, prompting HWDE: to employ HWDE:'s help in locating her, granting him the HWDE: as a symbol of his worthiness.

Upon completing HWDE: for the first time, HWDE: becomes a playable HWDE: and her HWDE:, the HWDE:, becomes available for use. Along with HWDE:, HWDE:, HWDE:, and the HWDE: unlock.

Trivia

 * If any NaN Warriors are on the northern side of HWDE: when both the HWDE: and HWDE: are captured, one gate will not close until the HWDE: returns.
