It is revealed that Ganondorf attacked the temples where the sages were praying to the goddesses so that the Master Sword could retain its power to repel evil.<ref>{{Cite book|quote=Hundreds of years passed, and Ganondorf, who should have been sealed at the bottom of the ocean along with Hyrule, was resurrected once again.

The Korok [[Makar]] and the Rito maiden [[Medli]] are the ones who awake as the new sages of Wind and Earth respectively. With their power and prayers, Link is able to restore the blade of evil’s bane to its original form. He then hunts down the scattered shards of the Triforce of Courage and brings the completed piece back to the Tower of the Gods to present it to the gods. The Triforce piece then dwells within him, proving that he is the true hero, the Hero of Time "reborn". Because Link had used the power of the Wind Waker to travel the Great Sea, the King of Red Lions declares him the [[Hero of Winds]].
