He is able to manifest an arsenal of weapons magically via his bracelets, and cast spells such as one that grants him the power of limited flight. Early on he encounters Com, a young thief who becomes his companion for the whole story (and who is revealed in the end to be this world's version of Impa). He is also aided by Cryckon, a crystalline bird and friend of the fairy Fonti (an ally of the Valcon). After overcoming many trials, Link and Com confront and defeat Ganos. Having assembled the Triforce, saved Zelda, and restored peace to Hyrule, Link once more sets off to continue his training.
