As Keith touches the scale, a memory awakens.

The top of a tall, snowy mountain. Link walks towards a spring of water surrounded by ice, well-dressed for the freezing cold weather in Rito-feathered armor.

Wrapped around the mountain's is the massive form of a dragon. It's skin covered in a sickly, glowing red substance - from which emerges glowing red eyes, all over its body. Its breaking is pained, and heavy.

At the spring, there is a statue of a goddess. A voice emerges from within it - a voice that is heard by the mind, not the ears.

"You have done well to find your way to this spring. You who have overcome numerous trials and obtained the Spirit Orbs...The one you see before you is an attendant to the Spring of Wisdom. This is Naydra, the blue spirit of Lanayru.

"This servant of the Goddess has looked over the spirits of this land for ages, unknown to the world of man. However, the dreaded Malice unleashed by Calamity Ganon has possessed its body and reduced it to this state.

"You who have received the Spirit Orbs...Free Naydra from this Malice. Show what your power can achieve!"

At that moment, a massive eye on the dragon's forehead opened. Link pulled out his bow, striking one of the eyes.

Struck, the dragon is provoked into movement, climbing up into the sky. A mystic wind follows in the dragon's wake - a wind that Link uses to open up his paraglider, and follow the dragon into the sky.

He shoots each one of the eyes infesting the dragon's body. With each shot he hangs, mid-air, as time seems to slow around him.

Then the last eye is struck - and the dragon glows, the malice falling away from its body like dust. It climbs back to it's perch atop the mountain, and Link follows.

The statue speaks once again.

"Thanks to your efforts, Naydra, the spirit of Mount Lanayru, has been freed from the grips of an evil power. But a single ceremony remains. Now...loose your arrow through the body of Naydra to free the spirit of the region!"

He draws his bow. Aims. And lets loose an arrow, straight towards the dragon's scales. The dragon flies off once more, but a glowing scale falls behind in front of Link.

"That is the spirit Naydra's scale. It fell when your arrow struck. It serves as proof of the courage you received from the one who served the sprint since ancient times. Come...Offer a scale from the blue spirit Naydra to the Spring of Wisdom."

Link picks up the scale. Walks towards the water. And carefully places it within the water. It glows with a burst of light, and a door opens in the mountain behind the statue.

"Your path has shown itself. Now go forth."
