Finally they arrive at Kokori Forest.

When they arrive at the city they meet with soldiers possessed, and in a house they find the Mysterious Messenger wounded, who presents as Zelda of the Future and tells them why she is here and what is the danger.

"In the future, Dark ogity an evil sorcerer who wanted to get the triforce to wake up the destroyer of worlds manages to open a portal to the past, the hyrule guard led by me tried to stop him without success. Dark ogity used the portal to travel here, without another viable option, I had to jump inside the portal to be able to warn you and try to stop his feat, but it's too late for me. I'm badly injured and I can not fight but I know that you are stronger together. Zelda Take these arrows of fire that I always carry with me and go to stop the evil Dark ogity before it opens a portal that brings to the destroyer of worlds and ends with hyrule, this one has marched to the castle where behind the room of the throne there is an old Mausoleum that was used to seal the portal to the void.
