Link explains to Yerbal that he is searching for Farore's Sacred Flame, which is located somehwere in the Faron Woods region. Yerbal mentions that he knows something about the Sacred Flame, but first asks Link if he can keep a secret. Yerbal explains that long ago, when the Goddess still protected the Surface, she gave the Flame to the Water Dragon Faron. He says that her lair is located deep within Lake Floria. Unfortunately, the Hermit notes that the gate leading to the Lake is sealed shut. Yerbal reveals the trick to opening the gate, and bids farewell to the young hero.
