Gannon learns of a magician's contest behind held at the Castle and disguises himself to enter. As Zelda watches the contest, Ganon sends a bat to find the Triforce of Wisdom, which is being guarded by Link and Spryte. To distract him, Gannon transforms a lizard into a gigantic monster that captures Zelda. As Link goes to rescue her, Gannon steals the Triforce. Will Link and Zelda be able to catch Gannon before it's too late?
Link and Zelda defend a black-haired maiden from a 3-headed Gleeok. When the maiden rewards Link with a kiss, however, he is suddenly transformed into a frog by a Gibdo in disguise. As Zelda comforts Link, Gannon attacks and captures her. Link and Spryte learn from the Triforce they have to find the Witch of Walls to set things right.
Zelda finds Link's latest effort to get a kiss sweet, when Gannon suddenly kidnaps King Harkinian using a flying unicorn. Gannon demands the Triforce be handed over within the hour or the King will face to a firey death. Link and Zelda, with the help of a girl named Sing whose unicron was stolen, journey into the underworld to rescue the King.
While Zelda is picking blossoms in the courtyard, a portal opens and moblins and energized arrows emerge. Link arrives to help, but is then struck by one of Gannon's fireballs. This causes Link to be trapped in Gannon's Evil Jar. However, Link's spirit remains behind, but only Zelda can see him. Now Zelda and Link's spirit will have to journey to the Evil Jar to get Link's body back.
Gannon's forces rebel and use the Capture Staff to trap him in a bottomless pit. After freeing the other monsters from the Evil Jar, they all launch an attack on the Castle. Link or Zelda then learn Gannon has been overthrown and decide to take advantage by getting the Triforce of Power. But they are unaware Gannon is freeing himself from the pit.
