In its second appearance, the Four Sword is shown to still rest in the Four Sword Sanctuary some time after the events of Four Swords. The sword still seals away the Wind Sorcerer Vaati after he was re-sealed within it by Link and Princess Zelda. With the passing of time, the people have come to feel a sense of peace and security, or so they thought. As of late however, dark storm clouds have blackened the skies of Hyrule that fill all who see them with fear and dread.

This has caused some to fear that the seal of the Four Sword binding Vaati may once again be weakening. The specter of Vaati's return causes such disturbance that Princess Zelda sees fit to convene a meeting of the six other [[Maiden|Shrine Maidens]] that guard the different regions of Hyrule and have the power to open the way to the Four Sword's resting place. Intending to inspect the sword's seal herself, Zelda decides to take Link along with her for extra security while she checks to see if Vaati's return is really imminent. | ||
Upon opening the portal to the Four Sword Sanctuary, the entire party of the Shrine Maidens, Zelda and Link are surprised by the emergence of [[Shadow Link]], who kidnaps the Shrine Maidens and Zelda before luring Link through the portal to the Four Sword Sanctuary. Seeing he has no weapon to duel his dark doppelganger, Link draws the Four Sword from its pedestal, causing himself to split apart in the same manner the sword had worked previously, causing him to split into four different colored versions of himself. Shadow Link laughs and makes a quick exit as Vaati escapes his prison once again and sends the four Links far away with a whirlwind. Upon awakening, the four meet [[Kaepora Gaebora]], who tells them that they must master the power of the Four Sword in order to defeat Vaati and rescue Zelda and the Shrine Maidens. To do this, they must gather a total of 2,000 [[Force Gem]]s in each area they visit to fully power up the Four Sword. In this manner, the four heroes work their way across Hyrule and gradually rescue all of the maidens with the power of the Four Sword. They eventually reach the [[Palace of Winds]] and confront Vaati, ultimately destroying him for good using the blade's power. However, it turns out that the true evil behind Vaati's release and the evil plaguing Hyrule is [[Ganon]], who has stolen a [[Trident]] possessing the great magic of an evil spirit. Confronting the demonic sorcerer with Princess Zelda, the four heroes succeed in subduing him while the Shrine Maidens magically seal him within the blade of the Four Sword. The sword is returned to the Four Sword Sanctuary soon after, now serving as the prison of Ganon. | Upon opening the portal to the Four Sword Sanctuary, the entire party of the Shrine Maidens, Zelda and Link are surprised by the emergence of [[Dark Link|Shadow Link]], who kidnaps the Shrine Maidens and Zelda before luring Link through the portal to the Four Sword Sanctuary.

The origins of the Four Sword are revealed in ''The Minish Cap'', where it is revealed to have once been known as the [[Picori Blade]] and was used by the [[Hero of Men]] to lock away the beasts that plagued Hyrule during the [[War of the Bound Chest]]. By the start of the game, many long years have passed since the war, and the annual [[Picori Festival]] is being put on while marking the hundredth year since the Minish last came to Hyrule (as the [[Minish Door]] opens only once a century). The festival’s sword-fighting tournament winner gains the honor of approaching the [[Bound Chest]] and touching the Picori Blade itself. The winner this year is a new face in Hyrule, a dark stranger named [[Vaati]]. However, the stranger reveals he is a powerful sorcerer and uses his dark magic to blast open the Bound Chest thinking the [[Light Force]] is inside, shattering the Picori Blade in the process. When the evil sorcerer turns [[Princess Zelda]] to stone, Hyrule’s [[King Daltus]] sends [[Link]] (and consequently his companion, [[Ezlo]]) on a quest to restore the Picori Blade and use its power to break Vaati’s curse on Princess Zelda. | The origins of the Four Sword are revealed in ''The Minish Cap'', where it is revealed to have once been known as the [[Picori Blade]] and was used by the [[Hero of Men]] to lock away the beasts that plagued Hyrule during the [[War of the Bound Chest]].
