On his sea voyage back to Hyrule, Link ran into a terrible storm. The waves and winds overpowered his boat and sunk it. Link awoke, washed ashore on an island known as [[Koholint]]. He was rescued by [[Marin]], a young woman who bore a striking resemblance to Princess Zelda. Upon his attempts to leave the island, its inhabitants insisted that there was nothing beyond the sea. He learned that the only way to get off the island was to collect the [[Instrument of the Sirens]] and wake the [[Wind Fish]] who slept in an egg atop [[Mt. Tamaranch]].<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=Link was in the midst of journeying back to Hyrule by boat after finishing his training. During the voyage, he was caught up in a storm that sank his ship.

After traveling all over the island and obtaining the instruments, Link journeyed to the top of the mountain and played the [[Ballad of the Wind Fish]] and fought the [[Nightmare]].

Once he placed his hands on the Triforce, it transported him to the distant land of Holodrum, where a new adventure began. | One day, when Link, who saved the land of Hyrule, visited Hyrule Castle, the Triforce beckoned him into its chamber.

On their way to the Tower, [[Chancellor Cole]] revealed himself as a demon whose aim was to revive the Demon King [[Malladus]] who had been sealed underneath the Tower of Spirits in ancient times. Cole and [[Byrne]] stole her body and left her as a spirit. Link and Zelda sought the advice of the [[Lokomo]] sage [[Anjean]], who told them to restore the Tower. In spirit form, Zelda was able to possess the [[Phantom]]s which roamed the Tower of Spirits and helped Link advance to the top. Link and Zelda restored the Tower of Spirits by journeying throughout Hyrule and breaking the barriers at each temple so that they could reach the Demon King at the top. Once they reached the top of the tower, Malladus was revived, and Link went into the [[Dark Realm]] in order to defeat him. Once Malladus was destroyed and Zelda returned to her body, the Lokomos departed into the heavens, their duty to protect Hyrule fulfilled. | On their way to the Tower, [[Chancellor Cole]] revealed himself as a demon whose aim was to revive the Demon King [[Malladus]] who had been sealed underneath the Tower of Spirits in ancient times.
