Tales from the Grid: The Meaning of Courage
(because they're their own channel with their own arcs)
Ever since the Activation linked together all the different eras of Hyrule, the Link and Zelda of the old DiC cartoon have wondered where their version of the Triforce of Courage might be. Now, they've found a possible lead... and so have the Syndicate.
Meanwhile, Mr. Crocker has finally completed Metal Timmy and decides to use the hunt for the Triforce as a field test.
Also meanwhile, Cookie's on a hunt of her own, following rumors of a dangerous and elusive Program with a familiar color scheme.
Hylian Road Trip
Link, Zelda and Spryte, accompanied by Anchor Link and his some of friends, Frida, Andi, Crabcake, Roll and Timmy, set out across Hyrule guided by ancient legends in search of the long-missing Triforce of Courage. Unfortunately, between the expected chaos of that many Anchors in one group and the discovery that Ganon and several other Syndicate members are following the same legends means it will most definitely not be smooth sailing.
Rise of Metal Timmy
Spryte and Lori are captured by a robotic duplicate of Timmy who has powerful magic and everybody has to fight him to get them back.
Rockin' and Rollin'
During their travels, the party finds a Goron mining facility that's been hijacked by Dr. Wily and Eggman.EXE to unearth an ancient temple that holds a clue to the location of the Triforce of Courage, and the Links and Roll lead the charge to free them.
Temple of Earth
The party explores the temple uncovered in the last episode while accompanied by the Goron Miners' boss, Foreman Bludo. After almost definitely doing some Desecration, getting a magic hammer, and beating a Talus, the end result is freeing a Great Fairy who declares Bludo the Sage of Earth and points them in the direction of Zora City in the heart of the Faron Marsh.
Gorhan's Wild Whitewater Rafting Adventure!
The quickest way from the Goron Mines to the Faron Marsh turns out to be a trip down a raging river. The good news is that said river is a popular destination for adrenalin junkies so there's a group of Gorons who make a living renting rafts and safety gear to tourists. The bad news is they've got an Inkling in the party. The worse news is they've got Syndicate members trying to sabotage their trip again.
The Spider and the Crawdad
In a moment she's been both longing for and dreading, Gohma finally meets Cookie face-to-face, which ends up going better for her than she ever dared hope. And as a bonus, she may have just found the Syndicate some powerful new allies.
Meanwhile, the party trudges through a marsh.
All Hail Crabcake!
When the party reach Zora City, they discover two things. The first is that it contains a mix of River and Ocean Zora, though noticeably more of the former than the latter. The second is that Plankton is running for mayor. And winning.
The party is split on how to handle this. One half decides to help the other candidate, a River Zora named Melia, with her campaign. The other half goes the chaotic route and submits Crabcake as a new candidate.
Temple of Sea
Another day another dungeon. This time they get a Hookshot and fight an Octorok that's enormous even by DiC world's standards. Melia is declared the Sage of Water and the party gets directed into the Ancient Woods further into the Faron Region, where they will find a sacred tree that can open the way to the Triforce.
They Weren't Lying, Those Woods Be Lost
Both the Party and the Syndicate run afoul of the Ancient Magics protecting the sacred tree. Timmy, Frida and the local Link discover that they have the ability to actually navigate the forest, but not before everybody else ends up separated and hopelessly lost.
Heart of Wood, Heart of Iron
The party finally reaches the deepest part of the woods and meet the Great Deku Tree, who has been waiting to meet Link and Zelda for a long, long time. Unfortunately, before he can help them, he needs some aid in return.
It turns out that the only members of the Syndicate that didn't get horribly lost are Crocker, Metal Timmy and Lokoko, who have been capturing the local fairies so Croker can study them. The Deku Tree is the guardian and home of the fairies of Faron Woods, but given that he's a magic tree there's really only so much he can do against a reality warping robot and a borderline demigoddess. Obviously everybody agrees to help.
Taking Flight
At the end of the last episode, the Great Deku Tree revealed that clearing the temples and awakening the Sages is the key to making the Triforce of Courage reveal itself, which is why the first Great Fairy couldn't just point them to the Tree directly. And as it turns out, the final Temple is high up in his branches.
And also fairy sized.
Yeah, he has to turn them into fairies (except the two that already are, of course) and have them travel through the Forest Fairy Kingdom inside him so they can reach it.
Having Link and Zelda finally be the same size as her is Doing Things to Spryte, lemme tell ya.
Meanwhile, the Syndicate and the Abyss's group formally meet, and Ganon gets some Ideas when he learns of the Dark Arms project.
Temple of Sky
Item is Wind Rod. Boss is a normal sized (and thus comparatively massive) Skulltula. Sage of Wind is Spryte. And at a point in the center of the three temples' locations, a tower rises.
(also there wasn't a Great Fairy in this one because she's the queen of the Forest Fairies instead of living in the temple.
Tower of the Gods
The party, now back to their original forms, book it to the tower in the hopes of reaching it before the Syndicate. They conquer the many puzzles and battles that await them.
...And then when they reach the top, Metal Timmy is waiting for them with the Triforce of Courage already in hand.
Power
The whole episode's a big game of keep-away with the Triforce piece, with Ganon flipping the board near the end by fusing with both his own Triforce of Power and a sample of Black Arms DNA to go from a generic evil wizard to a true embodiment of Power and Malice like all the other Ganons.
Wisdom
The episode where things go horribly wrong and it looks like the bad guys are going to win... at least until the Triforce of Wisdom, back at Hyrule Castle, suddenly shoots towards the battlefield in a beam of golden light and into Zelda.
Courage
...Yeah you see where this is going. Time for DiC Link to finally take his place among the Heroes of Hyrule.
Though unfortunately their Ganon does manage to live to lick his wounds and attempt conquest another day. Cartoon villain and all that.
