Powers Collide

"" is the second HWDE: of the "HWDE:" arc of HWDE: in. It takes place in HWDE:.

Overview
"Powers Collide" takes place after the events of "The Water Temple", after Zelda and Impa leave to rejoin Link at the Temple of the Sacred Sword. In their absence, Volga launches an attack on Ruto and Darunia, who stayed behind to watch over HWDE:.

Shortly after the battle begins, Darunia's Forces retreat into the Water Temple as Darunia seals the door to it, accidentally breaking the door. Meanwhile, he leaves his allies to fight Volga alone. Ruto pleads to Linkle to find a way to help Darunia, as it's too dangerous for him alone to handle. Linkle is directed to the Water Temple's entrance to find a way to join Darunia. Goron Engineers appear, offering to fix the door while tasking Linkle with the duty of escorting them.

Upon aiding all three Engineers, they join forces to open the front gate, allowing Linkle to come to Darunia's side. Afterwards, the Lizalfos and Dinolfos Chieftans direct a portion of the Enemy Forces to the Temple East Gate, forcing it open. Guided by Dinolfos, they rush toward the Allied Base in an attempt to overwhelm Darunia's Forces and quickly end the battle. If the Dinolfos are defeated, the assault will be squandered allowing Darunia's Forces to continue their advance.

Defeating the Lizalfos dotted along Lake Hylia will force the Lizalfos and Dinolfos Chieftans to open a number of Keeps controlled by the Dark Forces as a last-ditch effort to defeat the Allied Forces, including the Temple Face Keep where they were hiding. They will race toward the Allied Base, attempting to capture it unless intercepted, while Darunia rushes Volga's position in the Enemy Base at the King's Hall Keep. Defeating both Chieftans will halt all enemy advances, allowing Darunia's Forces to sweep all enemy strongholds.

After escorting Darunia's Forces to the Enemy Base, Darunia challenges Volga directly. Accepting, Volga opens the Enemy Base, initiating confrontation. Upon his defeat, Volga calls for his troops to retreat, ending the battle. Afterwards, Linkle notes that compass glows again as it had in "The Girl in the Green Tunic" before leaving once more to find Hyrule Castle.
