Link’s long treacherous journey up Mount Crenel begins with Tektites, Peahats, and falling boulders. With the help of the Grip Ring Link eventually finds his way to Melari’s Mine, where work immediately begins on the broken Picori Blade.
The Cave of Flames proves treacherous and convoluted, but Link pulls through, receiving the Cane of Pacci and the Fire Element as reward.
By now Melari has reforged the Picori Blade into the White Sword, and points Link to the Elemental Sanctuary in Hyrule Castle. Once in the Sanctuary, the White Sword is enhanced, allowing Link to create a temporary copy of himself.
Exiting the Sanctuary, Vaati appears, and it is revealed that he was once Ezlo’s apprentice.
