"The Demon Lord's Plan" is the third Scenario of the Linkle's Tale arc of Legend Mode in Hyrule Warriors.[name references needed] It takes place in the Sealed Grounds.
Overview
"The Demon Lord's Plan" takes place shortly before the events of "The Demon Lord", as Linkle stumbles upon a confrontation between Fi and Ghirahim. Fi sensed that Ghirahim discovered a Gate of Souls and intended to use its power to summon The Imprisoned.[1] As Fi descends to the Sealed Grounds, she encounters Linkle and asks the hopeful hero to aid her in stopping Ghirahim's attempt to summon the great evil, which she obliges.[2]
The battle begins with Ghirahim failing to properly summon The Imprisoned, instead summoning several smaller iterations of the evil beast.[3][4] He concludes that in order to successfully summon The Imprisoned, he must have total control of the Sealed Grounds, and resolves to boost the ritual's power using the Gate of Souls.[5] Meanwhile, Ceremonial Troops spawn around the battlefield and serially summon miniature versions of The Imprisoned.
To stem the influx of The Imprisoned, Fi suggests that all Ceremonial Troops be defeated. Shortly thereafter, Controller Troops appear, directing the small army of The Imprisoned against Linkle's Forces, threatening to converge at the Allied Base.[6] Once the Controller Troops have been defeated, The Imprisoned will cease their assault on the Allied Base and return to rampaging around their location instead. Eventually, the Ceremonial Troops will run out of magic, halting their summoning rituals.[7][8] Unable to perform any magic, they instead attack Linkle's Forces with what resources they have left.
Once the Ceremonial Troops have been defeated, Ghirahim will close the Enemy Base to protect the Gate of Souls.[9] In desperation, Ghirahim resolves to draw power from The Imprisoned to crush Linkle's Forces in person,[10] opening the entrances to the temple and charging towards the Allied Base. Upon being defeated, Ghirahim will swear to succeed on his next attempt before retreating.[11] Having done her duty, Linkle's compass will glow as she leaves once more for her journey to Hyrule Castle.[12]
At some point during the Scenario, a Cucco Chick will appear and attempt to look for food. If it is attacked by Ghirahim's Forces before reaching its Feeding Grounds, it will run away. However, if it is safely escorted to the Feeding Grounds, it will eat and grow into a Gold Cucco, aiding Linkle's Forces.

- ↑ "The sorceress Cia had acquired the Triforce and used it to bring forth other strange, new worlds. Not long after this, Ghirahim discovered a Gate of Souls. It was in the Sealed Grounds below Skyloft. Ghirahim knew a legendary beast was imprisoned deep within the land. He gathered a horde of monsters and plotted to awaken it. Far above, among the clouds of Skyloft, the spirit Fi sensed disturbing changes taking place in the land. Convinced that an evil force was stirring, Fi quickly left Skyloft and flew down to the Sealed Grounds. As Fi raced to the land below, an unexpected ally stumbled upon the same Sealed Grounds... It was Linkle. She had not yet found Hyrule Castle, but she had managed to find another battle." — N/A (Hyrule Warriors Legends)
