"I heard what happened, the major cold front that descended upon the Rito, and the marbled rock roast that the Goron's couldn't get enough of...", Purah explained, "then there was the sludge contaminating the Zora's water, and finally, the Gerudo menaced by Gibdos and a sand shroud, you faced some serious challenges, and you three overcame all of them, well done, Link, Katt, and Sheik; So... the person resembling Princess Zelda was behind the scenes for all of the phenomena, as you discovered, this HAS to be related to the Upheaval somehow; and I also have something important to share as well...",
The sky turned red, the moon becoming a blood moon which gained their attention as Purah looked into her telescope.
"Ah, isn't that... guys, look at this, quickly", Purah said, backing away from the telescope and letting them look inside; zooming in, Zelda stood outside the floating Hyrule Castle, "your highness...",
The sky went back to normal, the blood moon disappearing, and Zelda was gone.
"Guys, did you see that, that was the princess... wasn't it", Purah asked, "I was going to share that I saw a figure that looked an awful lot like Princess Zelda at Hyrule Castle, I wasn't sure first, but now I am, I thought she'd left the castle entirely, but she was back inside, we have to hurry and rescue her",
"If we could, how can we reach the castle now", Kate asked.
"Don't worry, I got this", Purah said, motioning them to follow her.
"I'm going with you guys this time", Sheik stated.
"No, you're not", Link said.
"But...", Sheik began.
"Sheik, we think this might be a trap... I want you here with the other sages just in case", Link explained.
"...Alright", Sheik mumbled with a sigh.
"We'll get a warp point set up when we get there, but don't come until the others are here", Kate said as Sheik nodded his head.
"Follow me", Purah said, motioning the two inside a structure.
"What is this thing", Link asked.
"This device will launch you both up high to the point you'll be able to glide over", Purah explained.
"We're gonna die", Kate muttered.
"Here we go", Purah announced as the two were launched up skyward and pulled out their paragliders, gliding towards the castle.
"Keep heading towards the castle", Link said.
"I know that, but it won't be so easy to navigate this time", Kate stated.
"I have no doubt the Upheaval did a number on the castle, but it's best to stay together and be careful", Link explained.
"This is a trap, you know", Kate said.
"I know, but we have to confront him again", Link stated, the two touching down at the castle.
"Link, Kate... Link, Kate... come to me... I am waiting... waiting for you both...",
"Yeah, definitely a trap", Kate mumbled.
"Be on your guard", Link said as the two walked towards their first location, the second gatehouse where monsters waited for them, which eventually led them on a wild goose chase, all leading up to the Throne Room where the Fake Zelda waited for them.
"At last... I have been waiting for you both to arrive", the Fake Zelda said, "now, Link, Kate... there is something here I want to show you",
Using her power, the Throne Room was back to how it was before the Upheaval, before the Calamity, and two thrones sat together.
