A War of Spirit takes the army into Cia’s Temple of Souls. You capture the six Magic Keeps that feed her ReDead Knights, survive the Dark Links she conjures from Link’s overconfidence, and then defeat Ganondorf when his army crashes the battle and attacks Zelda. Winning opens the final fight with Cia.

Before you start

Link is the default hero, but Impa, Sheik, Lana, Zelda, Darunia and Fi can all be chosen. Impa has the Heart Container, Fi the Piece of Heart and Zelda the Hard-difficulty Gold Skulltula, so you will replay this scenario at least once. Bring Bombs for the boulder. Do not wander off alone during the Dark Link fights; your allies are what save you.

Capturing the six Magic Keeps

Lana points out that the temple has six Magic Keeps, three in the east and three in the west, marked by purple borders on the floor. ReDead Knights spawn from them and strengthen the enemy, so capture all six as quickly as you can. Cia opens the doors of the Sorceress’s Room, her private keep, while you work, and the ReDead Knights’ morale drops as the keeps fall.

The Sorceress’s Room and the Dark Links

Retreat to the garden

Zelda orders a retreat toward the interior, and Midna suggests the rose garden in the west. Defeat the Dark Links in the field first: two fall to you, and the remaining ones retreat, with one revived in the Sorceress’s Room. A Rally Captain also tries to rally the enemy forces from the West Garden, so defeat him to foil that plan. Do not walk straight back in alone.

Trapped in the Sorceress’s Room

When you return to that room the gates close behind you and more Dark Links spawn. You cannot win this fight by yourself; Lana teleports in, and Impa, Midna, Darunia and Fi join to defeat the doubles. Link then realizes his mistake, and the Master Sword awakens, which reopens the gates and restores your army’s morale. Cia flees the field after summoning more monsters.
