Synopsis
A squad of Moblins and Goriyas attack Hyrule Castle, but Link easily defeats them. After berating his minions, Ganon shows them his new capture staff, which will allow anyone captured with it to be trapped inside an indestructible bubble, which only the Triforce of Power can break. The Moblins and Goriyas complain to each other and blame their failure on Ganon. They steal the capture staff and trap Ganon inside the indestructible bubble, pushing him inside the bottomless pit to prevent him from ever touching the Triforce and bursting the bubble. Unfortunately, a stupid Moblin breaks the capture staff as soon as Ganon is captured. Calling themselves the Brotherhood of Underworld Monsters, they lay siege to Hyrule Castle and demand Princess Zelda's surrender.



Meanwhile, Ganon tries to find a way to stop the bubble from floating down the bottomless pit. He realizes that even though his magic can't break the bubble, it can still work inside the bubble, and creates a balloon to float back up to the surface. The Moblins are botching their attempts to attack the castle, by shooting their own troops and the like. Zelda realizes that since Ganon is nowhere in sight, the Triforce of Power is completely unguarded. She and Link descend into the Underworld to steal it back. When they get there, they are pleasantly surprised to find Ganon completely helpless. Link begins taunting him and tossing the bubble around while Zelda insists that they just take the Triforce and leave. Link's goofing around causes the bubble to touch the Triforce, releasing Ganon, so the heroes are forced to leave without it. Ganon teleports his minions back into his lair and orders them to clean it with their tongues.
