Rescuing the Hero Link Walkthrough

Complete the Lands of the Goddesses

To update your progress on Rescuing the Hero Link main quest, you need to complete the Lands of the Goddesses main quest too.

From there, you will receive a quest update notification giving you a clue to find Link at an ancient forest guarded by a sacred tree.

Lands of the Goddesses Walkthrough

Head to the Eternal Forest Northwest of Hyrule Castle

	How to Complete
1	After the cutscene inside Hyrule Castle with General Wright, all fast travel points will become accessible again. You can then start heading for the Eternal Forest by exiting Hyrule Castle Town through the south gate, turning west immediately once outside, and stopping once you reach a road. Follow this road all the way to the north until you find a waypoint near the objective marker.
2	Once you enter the Eternal Forest, you'll notice that the marker only points you to the forest entrance and not the objective itself. Keep going northwest until you find another waypoint, above the "Eternal Forest" text on your map. A few more steps northwest are three soldiers lying on the ground.
3	After the cutscene ends, inspect the stone tablet. This causes the stone tablet to rise up and spawn a floating orb on the left side, which also updates The Prime Energy and Null main quest. Use the Tri Rod on the orb to learn the Ancient Orb Echo as you will need it in this puzzle.

Place the Six Ancient Orbs

	How to Complete
1	To start, summon an Ancient Orb Echo and place it on the pedestal south of the stone tablet. Before you go, memorize the position of the circles on the stone tablet as well, as it actually indicates the location of the rest of the pedestals. Another thing to remember is that the Ancient Orb echoes will hold the consumed Triangles while they're on the pedestals so you won't be able to summon higher cost echoes until it's done.
2	Directly southwest of the stone tablet is a Deku Baba sitting on the first pedestal. Defeat it and place an Ancient Orb in its place to activate the pedestal.
3	Head straight to the east and you will find the second pedestal near a Caromadillo.
4	The third pedestal is on the southwest corner of the Eternal Forest, near a Spear Moblin Lv. 2.
5	From the third pedestal, walk to the east to find the fourth pedestal in an intersection.
6	The fifth pedestal is on the southeast corner of the Eternal Forest, just above the buried chest that contains a Monster Stone.
7	Go back to the large stone tablet and interact with it to create a new pathway. Head north and talk to the Deku Tree to open the path to the Ancient Ruins.

Enter the Stilled Ancient Ruins

Head north and watch the cutscene that plays out. Interact with the glowing yellow triangle after to enter the Stilled Ancient Ruins.

Stilled Ancient Ruins Rift Walkthrough

Defeat Shadow Zelda

	How to Complete
1	After traversing the Stilled Anchient Ruins, you will face Shadow Zelda. Defeat this mini-boss to rescue Link. ▶︎︎ How to Beat Shadow Zelda
2	After defeating the boss, activate Swordfighter Form and use the bow and arrow to destroy the crystal to free Link. This completes the Rescuing the Hero Link main quest.
