Overview
"March of the Demon King" follows the events from "Ganondorf's Return" in the Gerudo Desert. With his army finally built, Ganondorf marches along with his servants Zant and Ghirahim to secure the scattered Triforce pieces. He first arrives to the Valley of Seers seeking the Triforce of Power, which resides with Lana who had fled to the Valley in an attempt to escape him. Ganondorf's Forces follow her there and are confronted by the opposing Hyrulean Forces' Gorons, with more reinforcements rushing to Lana's aid.

While attempting to reach Lana, Zant senses a sacred power in the Valley's three Sanctums, and believes conquering them would give them an advantage. Zant and Ghirahim leave for the Sanctums, but Lana uses this as an opportunity to trap them inside. Ganondorf arrives to their rescue, by conquering the two Keeps and thus opening their gates. The take over of the Sanctums reduce the Valley's sacred power, resulting in Lana's forces losing Morale. Just as Lana's situation turns critical, Impa and more reinforcements enter the battle and try to intervene. She splits herself into four other copies and scatters herself across the field. Fighting the other copies, however, proves to be fruitless for Ganondorf's army as they respawn. Zant then suggests they should continue to pursue Lana, which would make the real Impa reveal herself and rush to Lana's location to defend her. While Ganondorf pursues her, the real Impa reveals herself and is fought. After she is defeated, she hints towards a plan that suggests Lana will be able to escape. Immediately afterwards, she leaves the battle.

Ganondorf continues onward to the top of the Valley, eventually confronting Lana. Upon defeating her, she suddenly warps away and relocates to the Fairy Fountain Keep. Impa from afar then instructs her to use one of the Magic Circles she had set up during the confrontation with Ganondorf to escape the battle. To further increase her chances of escape, Lana splits herself into two copies as both attempt to reach different Magic Circles on opposite ends of the battlefield. Ganondorf and his Forces charge after her, and defeat them both. He obtains the Triforce of Power, and sets out to Hyrule Castle to claim the remaining pieces of the Triforce.
