Torn between destiny and happiness, Link decides to journey to the castle with Piyoko to take the knight's trial. As he makes his way through Castle Town, he finds a glowing emblem of the Triforce and an golden mark of the Triforce on Link's hand begins to glow. Within a few seconds, Link awakens within the far land of Holodrum with Piyoko, a sword, and a shield. He wanders into a town and catches sight of a group of traveling performers. As Link travels closer to the group of traveling performers, he notices Din. She calls him from the audience to dance with her. Embarrassed, Link runs far away. He accidentally runs into Onox while Link is insulting himself. Onox gives his servants the order to kill Link. Onox sucks the life out of the area and Link. He falls to the ground, unconscious. As Din begins to chase after him, she notices Link in the midst of a completely bare and dead forest. Din calls upon the power of the season spirits to bring Link back to life.

Din tells Link that he shouldn't stay if he doesn't want to, and, later that night, Link's grandfather appears in a dream. He blames Link for his weaknesses and tells him to come back. It is revealed that Onox is back, searching for Din, and is planning to ambush them as they approach the Temple of Seasons. Din and Link, as well as the rest if the troupe are traveling to Natzu Prairie and the Temple of Seasons.
