Navi finds an ancient tablet, bearing message written in Ancient Hylian, near the giant portal. The owl Kaepora Gaebora aids Link in translating the Ancient Hylian lettering, which states that in order to stop the portal, Link must sing it songs from across Hyrule. Link learns these songs, traveling to Goron City, Dodongo's Cavern, and Zora's Domain to do so, and sings them to the portal. As Link sings, the portal grows continually weaker. Nearly destroyed, the portal tries to swallow Link one more time, but at the last minute, he is saved by Princess Zelda and Impa. The portal closes behind him, and Hyrule is saved.
