Synopsis
Ganon arrives in Princess Zelda's courtyard and attempts to capture her with a magical spell. However, Zelda reflects the spell with the Triforce of Wisdom's magic, which causes the spell to bounce around and eventually capture Link instead. Ganon decides that capturing Link is satisfactory and leaves the scene.

Zelda is upset that Link has been captured, but discovers that while Link's body has been captured by Ganon, his ghost remains with her. Link theorizes that when Ganon's spell was reflected, it was weakened. The two set off to go to Ganon's castle and retrieve Link's body. As they are leaving, they discover that while Zelda can see Link's ghost, Sprite cannot.

The pair arrive in Ganon's lair, with Zelda fighting enemy Stalfos instead of Link as he cannot pick up the sword. None of the enemy Stalfos can see Link either. As Link and Zelda close in on Ganon, they overhear the Stalfos tell Ganon that they had heard Link's voice but not seen him. Ganon realizes that he has only captured Link's body and theorizes that Zelda can see Link only because she is in love with him. Link is overjoyed to hear this, and starts yelling "Zelda loves me, Zelda loves me". This causes Ganon and the Stalfos to notice where Link and Zelda are hiding, and they begin to attack.

Zelda sets a curtain on fire to create a diversion while Link's ghost re-enters his body. Link takes a bomb from a Stalfos and uses it to escape the Evil Jar. The explosion causes water to pour out of the Evil Jar, washing Ganon and his henchmen away and allowing Link and Zelda to escape.

Errors

 * In one scene, when Ganon and the Stalfos are talking in the Evil Jar, Ganon's mouth is moving when a Stalfos is speaking.
