The Sacred Sword brings the three eras together at a ruined temple. You must awaken three Sealed Statues, unmask the impostor Lana who is commanding the ghost soldiers, defeat the two Gatekeepers guarding the inner room and pull the Master Sword from its pedestal. Then you beat Wizzro one last time, and the scenario ends with Cia’s hiding place revealed.

Before you start

You play Link the first time through, with Impa, Darunia and Midna as the allies who activate the statues; after your first clear you can choose Impa, Lana, Zelda, Darunia, Midna or Fi instead. Zelda is the warrior for the Heart Container and Lana for the Piece of Heart, so those wait for the replay. Bring Bombs for the boulders. There is no need to farm anything beforehand, but stay close to the three statue carriers, because their survival decides how quickly the doors open.

Awakening the Sealed Statues

Where each statue is

Zelda explains that the Temple doors open only when three Sealed Statues are awake. Impa heads west and finds the Statue of Servitude. Darunia goes to the South Square for the Statue of Wave and Flame, and Midna goes to the North Square for the Statue of Twilight. Your job as Link is to keep all three safe while Ghost Forces swarm the ruins.

Impa

Protecting Impa, Darunia and Midna

Impa has to stay beside her statue once it is active, and Ghost Soldiers keep arriving around her, so return to her between the other tasks. Summoners attack Darunia and Midna as they approach the Temple Square and the North Square, so reach them quickly and defeat the Summoners before they finish their march. Each time a statue is found or woken, more ghosts spawn, so clear one area before heading for the next.

Finding the false Lana

With all three statues awake the doors still do not open, and ghosts begin appearing inside the temple walls. Someone is controlling them. Your objective becomes defeating the commander of the Ghost Soldiers. Look for the Lana in the central ruins who laughs and orders the soldiers on; she is Wizzro in disguise. Fight and defeat him there. The game announces “You defeated the fake Lana! The Ghost Forces are free!”, the ghosts stop being controlled, the statues finish awakening, and the Temple doors open. The statue carriers withdraw from the battle after the effort.

Inside the Temple and the Master Sword

Enter the temple, where Dark Forces hold the keeps; the South Temple Hall opens as you press in and your objective becomes acquiring the Master Sword. Fight forward to the gate that blocks the sword chamber, which is guarded by two Aeralfos Gatekeepers. Defeat both and the gate opens. Walk to the Sacred Pedestal and pull the Master Sword. Wizzro appears and fires at you from behind, so deflect the blast with the sword and fight him again.

Wizzro boss fight

Wizzro retreats once his health drops to half, then shows up outside the temple with reinforcements and goes after Zelda, who falls back to the Temple. Your orders change to covering Zelda’s retreat into the Temple and then defeating Wizzro, so keep Zelda safe while you chase him to the West Square. Beat him there and he gives up, revealing that Cia is waiting in the Temple of Souls.

The Sacred Sword Gold Skulltulas

Gold Skulltula

Gold Skulltula 1: defeat 1,000 enemies

Gold Skulltula 2: all statues, 2,000 enemies

On Hard or Hero difficulty, defeat 2,000 enemies, find all the Sealed Statues and repel Wizzro. The Gold Skulltula appears in the room of the Sacred Pedestal. If you play as Fi, the condition also asks you to keep your warriors out of danger, which means guarding the statue carriers carefully.
