Later, Ghirahim nearly reaches her at the [[Temple of Time]] at the edge of [[Lanayru Desert]], where he interrupts Link and Zelda's reunion by making his way in through the debris. Creating a barrier to prevent Link from interfering, he goes after Zelda but is stopped by a protective barrier created by Impa.

At the [[Ancient Cistern]], Ghirahim is waiting for Link, once again expressing his frustration due to Link's constant interference.

Do you remember when I told you that the next time we met, I'd make your ears bleed from the sound of your own screams? Well, I've been thinking... Perhaps corporal punishment is a touch harsh. I might be willing to forgive and forget if you'll strike a deal. ...All I ask is that you tell me where I can find the other Gate of Time. That's not too much to ask, is it? Oh, and don't you play coy with me.
