Scenarios[]

The Sheikah Tribesman[]

Impa, Link and the rest of the Hyrulean Forces begin their search for Princess Zelda after she goes missing following the battle in Hyrule Castle. Hearing a rumor that a group of Hyrulean soldiers were being lead by a young woman in the Faron Woods, Impa and Link make their way to the forest via the Eldin Cave, hoping to find the princess.[1]

As the Hyrulean Forces begin to make their way towards the southeast cave exit, they meet up with a Hylian Captain only to find that their path is blocked by lava.[2][3] With the aid of the Goron Captain, a Bombchu is launched towards the stone spire to blow it up and make a path for the Hyrulean Forces to continue.[4][5] However, they are soon surrounded by a large group of Dark Forces, and just as it seems they have been overcome, a mysterious Sheikah warrior known as Sheik saves them from their predicament by quickly defeating the foes. Sheik reassures Impa and Link that the princess is alive, and that they will meet her later on in their quest. [6]

Heading their way towards the exit, Wizzro calls for reinforcements and begins another attack on the Hyrulean Forces as they advance via the cave’s tunnels. Impa and Link soon defeat the Spirit of the Caves, the source of the evil coming deep within the caves, allowing them to continue. [7][8] Link, Impa, and Sheik come to find a stone spire larger than the previous one, with this one requiring two Bombchus to destroy instead of one. As the Goron Captain launches both Bombchus,[9] Wizzro shows himself in the battlefield to try and destroy the last two ammunition of bombs that the Gorons have left.[10] The Hyrulean Forces swiftly defeat the wizard while protecting the Bombchus from the attacks of the Dark Forces, permitting the bomb critters to destroy the two stone spires and reveal the exit of the caves. With Link, Impa, and Sheik at the exit, they then head out to the Faron Woods, hoping to find Princess Zelda there.[11]

After the Scenario finishes, Sheik becomes a playable character and her weapon, the Harp, becomes available for use.

The Dragon of the Caves[]

Set prior to the main events of the game, Cia begins to build her army by opening the Gate of Souls to unleash hordes of monsters. Realizing her army would require a general, Cia looks to the Eldin Caves in search for Volga, whom she considers to be the perfect candidate. Cia enters the caves, and is immediately confronted by the Gorons of the region. While searching, Cia senses another presence nearby. The panicking of the Gorons, who were tasked to guard an ancient ring, unwittingly brings Cia's attention to the location of the ring. She manages to find it and summons Wizzro, who aids her fight by joining her Force.

Cia continues her search for Volga, and shortly finds him near the central caves. A battle between them ensues as Volga resists Cia's invitation. Cia gains the upper hand, but Volga retreats to the South Square as reinforcements arrive. Lizalfos and Dinolfos Chieftains attack Cia and her Forces. Cia leaves to conquer Volga's Keeps to weaken his Force, while Wizzro summons more reinforcements and fights the Chieftains. The Gorons, meanwhile, plan a counterattack as they deploy several Bombchus. Cia's Dark Forces however manage to destroy them before they can detonate in their newly acquired Base and Keeps.

Eventually Cia and her Forces capture all of Volga's other Keeps, which impresses the Dragon Knight but fails to persuade him. Cia enters the South Square and resumes fighting Volga. However in the midst of their defeat, the Chieftains of Volga's Force summon a pair of King Dodongos onto the field; one in Volga's Keep and the other marching towards the Allied Base. Worsening the situation, Wizzro also betrays Cia and joins the dragonfolk after witnessing their advantage. Cia however successfully defeats the King Dodongos and Volga and Wizzro, thus winning the battle. Volga resigns to Cia's power as he accepts his position as her commander, and Wizzro begs for her mercy and swears allegiance to her. Cia enhances them with dark magic, ensuring their loyalty to her. With Cia's army finally built, the Dark Forces prepare to invade Hyrule Castle next.
