It is evening in TLoZ (TV Series):. TLoZ (TV Series): is enjoying the night air while TLoZ (TV Series): tries to swing in to TLoZ (TV Series):'s room with a little help from the king. When he lands in her room, the princess is impressed by the flowers that the young hero brought and Zelda offers him a big kiss, which TLoZ (TV Series): gladly accepts. However, Zelda then hears TLoZ (TV Series):'s cry for help and rushes off to her window to see that TLoZ (TV Series):, who is riding on the back of a mysterious TLoZ (TV Series):, has begun his assault on the castle and is after the king. TLoZ (TV Series): launches himself over to where TLoZ (TV Series): and the King are, but he is promptly attacked by NaN Vires. By the time the young hero finishes them off with his TLoZ (TV Series): and NaN Sword Beams, TLoZ (TV Series): has already begun to fly away, but TLoZ (TV Series): jumps off and manages to grab onto the TLoZ (TV Series):'s tail. Just then, TLoZ (TV Series): zaps TLoZ (TV Series):, who loses his grip and begins to fall to his death. Before giving up hope, TLoZ (TV Series): spots four NaN Vires below and retrains his fall by grabbing two of the NaN Vires' feet. TLoZ (TV Series): zaps him again, causing TLoZ (TV Series): to fall even further to his death, but survives with Zelda's help. In the TLoZ (TV Series):, TLoZ (TV Series): imprisons the King in a TLoZ (TV Series): as punishment until Zelda turns TLoZ (TV Series): and the TLoZ (TV Series): of Wisdom over to him. Meanwhile, TLoZ (TV Series): and Zelda enter the TLoZ (TV Series): but are attacked by NaN Armoss when the princess accidentally touches one of the statues. The heroes defeat the NaN Armoss with the TLoZ (TV Series): and TLoZ (TV Series): but a trap door opens beneath them and plunges them deeper into the dungeon where NaN Stalfoss await them. TLoZ (TV Series): easily zaps several of the NaN Stalfoss, but one of them sneaks up from behind and knocks his sword off when more NaN Stalfoss ambush the young hero. Although Zelda is helpless since she lost her bow in the previous room fighting the NaN Armoss, a mysterious warrior luckily appears and defeats the rest of the NaN Stalfoss using her sai while targeting TLoZ (TV Series): as well in the process. TLoZ (TV Series): attempts to shoot the warrior with a TLoZ (TV Series): but realizes that it is a human since the beam did not cause it to vanish. Zelda then grabs the warrior and TLoZ (TV Series): removes its mask, revealing that it is a woman who does not speak TLoZ (TV Series): and Zelda's language. Zelda is able to communicate with her, revealing that her name is TLoZ (TV Series): and is trying to rescue her TLoZ (TV Series): that TLoZ (TV Series): stole. TLoZ (TV Series): agrees to help her and uses a TLoZ (TV Series): to blast his way into TLoZ (TV Series):.

Due to the blast that TLoZ (TV Series): caused, TLoZ (TV Series): hears the group coming and begins to head their way. TLoZ (TV Series): and the others fight a pair of NaN Lynels at the entrance, and the young hero picks up a TLoZ (TV Series): after he defeats one of them. TLoZ (TV Series): and TLoZ (TV Series): run ahead and cross the bridge, where they see two NaN Moblins guarding the TLoZ (TV Series):. After TLoZ (TV Series): defeats them and gets her TLoZ (TV Series): back, an TLoZ (TV Series): appears with a TLoZ (TV Series): in hand; however, Zelda throws her TLoZ (TV Series): at its hand, which causes the TLoZ (TV Series): to explode near him, thus killing the TLoZ (TV Series):. Because of the explosion, a hole opens beneath where the TLoZ (TV Series): was and reveals the place where the King is imprisoned. TLoZ (TV Series): then begins to make his way to where TLoZ (TV Series): and Zelda are, but before he reaches the end of the bridge, TLoZ (TV Series): appears before him. TLoZ (TV Series): is able to zap him once with his NaN Sword Beams, but the evil wizard uses his magic to cut the bridge, which the young hero manages to hold on to while it swings him to the other cliff. Just as TLoZ (TV Series): is about to deliver the final blow, Zelda defeats TLoZ (TV Series): using her TLoZ (TV Series): while TLoZ (TV Series): and her TLoZ (TV Series): rescue the king from his fall in the pit room. Seeing the happy ending, TLoZ (TV Series): blows the magic whistle to call upon a whirlwind that TLoZ (TV Series): them out of the TLoZ (TV Series):.

The episode ends with TLoZ (TV Series): waving goodbye to the King, Zelda and TLoZ (TV Series): as she's riding away on her TLoZ (TV Series):.

Trivia

 * This episode establishes that TLoZ (TV Series):'s NaN Sword Beams cannot harm a normal person. Presumably, this was done to tone down the violence in the series, much like how TLoZ (TV Series): never uses his sword to strike or stab any enemies.
 * At some point in the preview for this episode, the word "zip" can be seen instead of the usual zipping animation.
