Stating that he will soon take his rightful place among the gods, Yuga Ganon engages Link in a final battle for the Triforce of Courage, but he is defeated and finally destroyed, releasing Hilda and the Triforce pieces. Yuga Ganon promptly turns Princess Hilda into a Painting and absorbs her along with the Triforce of Wisdom, transforming into an even stronger beast. However, Yuga Ganon reveals that he has no concern for Lorule's fate, and merely planned to remake Lorule in his own image, using Ganon in his plans. Princess Hilda, still believing that her court wizard is loyal to her, orders him to give his Triforce of Power to her. Upon finishing the tale, Hilda steals the Triforce of Wisdom from Zelda and summons Yuga Ganon, ordering the beast to steal the Triforce of Courage from Link, but Yuga Ganon is defeated in battle. After reaching the top of Lorule Castle, Link finds Princess Hilda, who tells him the legend of how Lorule fell into its current state. Īfter rescuing the Seven Sages and attaining the Triforce of Courage, Impa reveals to Link that Ganon is returning and that he must travel to Lorule Castle to stop the Demon King.
Hilda asks Link to awaken his full potential in order to defeat Yuga by stealing back the Paintings of the Seven Sages, which have been sent to different locations throughout Lorule as a backlash from Yuga's transformation. She informs the young hero that she knew of Yuga's plot to abduct Hyrule's Sages and Zelda, but had failed to stop him, allowing Yuga to use them to siphon Ganon's power in order to gain enough power to destroy both Hyrule and Lorule.
Now possessing the Triforce of Power, Yuga Ganon attacks Link, but his attack is restrained by the magic of a mysterious princess named Hilda, who informs Link that she can only hold Yuga Ganon at bay for so long and welcomes the young hero to her kingdom, Lorule. After releasing Ganon from his seal in darkness, Yuga proceeds to fuse with Ganon's form and the Triforce of Power,, transforming into a being that takes on the physical attributes of both Yuga and Ganon. In Lorule, Yuga uses the descendants of the Seven Sages along with Princess Zelda to resurrect the Demon King and holder of the Triforce of Power, Ganon, who Yuga claims will help him attain true beauty.
