During Zelda's adventure, after she defeats [[Hektan]] at [[Dodomai Palace]], [[Lord Kiro]] reveals to her that Duke Onkled had betrayed the King. Later on, Zelda manages to defeat Ganon, and she walks into Harkinian's prison room. She is happy to see him. Lord Kiro points out Duke Onkled, who begs to Harkinian for mercy. King Harkinian orders Onkled to scrub all the floors in Hyrule, and he denies Onkled's request for mercy unless he has done so. Link wakes up, wondering what had happened. Zelda denies that anything had happened, and she and King Harkinian laugh, ending the game. | |||
