Battle of the Triforce

"" is the third HWDE: of the HWDE: arc of HWDE: in. It takes place in HWDE:.

Overview
Once Ganondorf seizes the Triforce of Power from Lana during "March of the Demon King", his Forces travel to HWDE: where Link and Zelda are located to claim their pieces and complete the full Triforce. Meanwhile, Zelda launches a counterattack, ordering her troops to take the base of Ganondorf's Forces. After the battle begins, Zant advances towards the Rockface Checkpoint in the northwest section of the battlefield. In order to proceed to Hyrule Castle, Ganondorf and his forces must support Zant's attack on the Checkpoint's gate. To intercept Zant, Zelda commands a Hylian Captain to subdue him and protect the gate. Once the Hylian Captain is defeated, the Rockface Checkpoint will open, allowing Ganondorf's forces to head directly towards Hyrule Castle.

During this time, Link begins to advance towards the Allied Base, attempting to capture the Central Keep along his way. If Link is not interrupted, the young hero will use the power from his Triforce of Courage to dwindle the Keeps' health with a rain of light while he battles the forces within it. Once Link is defeated, Zelda will command him to withdraw, allowing Ganondorf's Forces to continue their attack.

After the Rockface Checkpoint is opened, Impa will advance east to the Fairy Fountain from the Hyrule Castle Checkpoint. In response, Ghirahim challenges her to battle, buying time for the rest of Ganondorf's Forces. However, after a brief period of time, Impa decides to abandon her fight with Ghirahim to reach the Fairy Fountain. If Impa reaches the Fairy Fountain, she will begin charging it, forcing Ganondorf's Forces to stop her within two minutes or risk failure.

Following Impa's defeat, Link will reappear in the field north of the Castle Keep and advance east towards the Central Keep in order to capture the Allied Base. Zelda will join the young hero, opening the gates to the Castle Keep and advancing towards the East Field Keep before heading for the Allied Base. Both Warriors will use their pieces of the Triforce to conquer their respective Keeps, prompting Ganondorf's Forces to defeat them immediately. Zant offers to handle Link while Ghirahim attacks Zelda. However, they are unable to defeat the Triforce bearers on their own and require Ganondorf's assistance. In order to conclusively conquer Hyrule Field, Ganondorf must defeat both Link and Zelda within a small window of time of each other's defeat, as they will simply rest and return to resisting Ganondorf's Forces after a period of time has passed.

After the Hyrulean Forces have been defeated, Ganondorf will assume control over all three pieces of the Triforce before disappearing.

Trivia

 * If Impa is successful in summoning the Great Fairy, the same bombing animation from "The Armies of Ruin" will play before Ganondorf's Forces lose to the Hyrulean Forces.
