After Zelda's disappearance, Gaepora finds Link in the Statue of the Goddess with the Goddess Sword. He explains that he is the guardian of the Chamber of the Sword. After Link explains that he must go to The Surface to find zelda, Gaepora warns Link that it will be a difficult task. Once Link places the Emerald Tablet into the altar, Gaepora explains to Link that he and Zelda are part of an ancient legend. He then tells him to fulfill the legend and find his daughter.
