While TLoZ (TV Series): is riding through the woods with TLoZ (TV Series):, he hears a man calling for help. The young hero rushes over and sees three men trying to steal money from an old man, and TLoZ (TV Series): easily defeats them. The old man, who introduces himself as TLoZ (TV Series):, thanks TLoZ (TV Series): and offers to give him a free TLoZ (TV Series): as a sign of gratitude. Although TLoZ (TV Series): at first hesitates to trade it in for his TLoZ (TV Series):, TLoZ (TV Series): explains that anyone who carries his sword is made irresistible to women, especially princesses. This convinces TLoZ (TV Series): who immediately hands over his old sword when he hears TLoZ (TV Series): screaming for help. After TLoZ (TV Series): leaves, it is revealed that TLoZ (TV Series): had a deal with the three burly men who were harassing him and gives them the money for helping him get the sword from TLoZ (TV Series):.

When TLoZ (TV Series): arrives to where Zelda is, he sees that she's being attacked by NaN Patras. The young hero, confident about his new sword, faces an incoming TLoZ (TV Series):, but one light beam from the foe breaks the sword in half and causes TLoZ (TV Series): to collapse from the attack. Zelda rushes towards TLoZ (TV Series): and just then he realizes that he has been robbed. Suddenly, TLoZ (TV Series): appears with two NaN Moblins at his side, who capture the pair and take them into TLoZ (TV Series):. Once down there, TLoZ (TV Series): arrives with TLoZ (TV Series):'s TLoZ (TV Series): and offers it to TLoZ (TV Series): for 1000 NaN Rupees, but the evil wizard disagrees and simply takes it from TLoZ (TV Series):'s hands with no reward. Moreover, he orders the NaN Moblins to throw TLoZ (TV Series):, TLoZ (TV Series): and Zelda into TLoZ (TV Series):'s lair. With TLoZ (TV Series): slowly approaching the group, Zelda gets out a TLoZ (TV Series): from her pouch and TLoZ (TV Series): a TLoZ (TV Series): while the young hero orders TLoZ (TV Series): to use his lockpicks to open the gate. Zelda then ties the rope around one of TLoZ (TV Series):'s horns, which causes the creature to spin her around the room. TLoZ (TV Series): takes this opportunity to use the TLoZ (TV Series): and make a giant stalactite fall on top of TLoZ (TV Series):, allowing Zelda to continue to spin around until all of the rope is tied around the beast. With TLoZ (TV Series): now having opened the gate, the group heads to TLoZ (TV Series): to consult the TLoZ (TV Series): of Wisdom on what they should do.

Once at the castle, the TLoZ (TV Series): of Wisdom advises them to use "natural means" to defeat TLoZ (TV Series): since currently the evil wizard possesses more magic than they do. The group then heads out to collect beehives and ants to use against TLoZ (TV Series):. When TLoZ (TV Series): sees that TLoZ (TV Series): is approaching the castle with the sword in hand and with NaN Stalfoss and NaN Moblins at his side, TLoZ (TV Series): walks towards TLoZ (TV Series): and pretends to be offering a box with the TLoZ (TV Series): of Wisdom as a sign of loyalty to him. However, when TLoZ (TV Series): opens the box, he finds it contains a beehive, and the bees immediately begin to sting him and his minions. Using this opportunity, TLoZ (TV Series): swings by and takes the sword from TLoZ (TV Series):'s hands, and shortly after Zelda launches another beehive at the evil wizard with the help of a catapult. TLoZ (TV Series):, unable to fight back, retreats back into the TLoZ (TV Series):. With TLoZ (TV Series): defeated, Zelda surprisingly hugs TLoZ (TV Series): and asks him for a kiss, but the young hero ruins the moment by making a bad pun, making Zelda change her mind. Just then, TLoZ (TV Series): realizes that TLoZ (TV Series): is gone and discovers that he took the TLoZ (TV Series): of Wisdom while they were fighting TLoZ (TV Series):. Zelda then reveals that she hid the TLoZ (TV Series): underneath TLoZ (TV Series):'s pile of dirty clothes and that she had asked TLoZ (TV Series): earlier on to cast a spell on the box with the ant hill. The episode ends with TLoZ (TV Series): and Zelda looking out the window to see TLoZ (TV Series): carrying the supposed TLoZ (TV Series): of Wisdom only for him to discover that he had been tricked.
