Link adventures through Koridai and along the way meets several islanders who have evaded capture. At [[Firestone Lake]], Link and Gwonam realize that [[Princess Zelda]] was captured by Ganon and put under a sleeping spell since Link left the castle.<ref>{{Cite | Link adventures through Koridai and along the way meets several islanders who have evaded capture.

He also retrieves the [[Book of Koridai]] after defeating Glutko which he brings to the reader [[Aypo]] in [[Nortinka]]. Aypo translates its verses and reveals that Ganon can only be defeated with the Book. Link also later finds Gwonam's residence at the [[Hermit Flat]] and is given the [[Lantern of Vision]] to help him see the [[Sancrumi]]es that swarm [[Ganon's Lair]]. | ||
After all other obstacles have been cleared, Link finally journeys to Ganon's Lair where he confronts the villain deep within his Face of Evil. Link defeats Ganon by throwing the Book of Koridai at him, which magically imprisons him inside its pages.

{{TFoE|-}} differs from most conventional {{TLoZ|-}} games as it is a platformer with a side-scrolling view, similar to {{TAoL}}. Stages are accessed from a world map, with more becoming available as Link clears an area or defeats a boss. Stages typically consist of several sections, usually with multiple enemies and traps in each section. If Link loses all of his [[Heart Container#The Faces of Evil|Life Heart]]s and perishes, a Continue screen with a counter will display, allowing Link to restart at the area's entrance so long as he has enough continues. If however he dies three times, Link will be sent back to the world map and be forced to start over. Each stage has two [[Triforce Map]]s that serve as exits; one at the beginning and one at the end which clears the stage. In addition to simply reaching the second Triforce Map in each stage, some stages also have special items and power-ups in them that are necessary to progress through certain stages. Link also encounters several characters who provide him with essential equipment and information, often requiring a specific item in return that is found somewhere else. | {{TFoE|-}} differs from most conventional {{TLoZ|-}} games as it is a platformer with a side-scrolling view, similar to {{TAoL}}.
