Upon landing (against a wall) at Forsaken Fortress, you lose your sword, but don’t worry, we’ll get it back! You will gain the Pirate’s Charm, which allows you to communicate with Tetra and the King of Red Lions. You’ll have to go under the cover of darkness for now. Go up the stairs and pick up a barrel to hide in it. Avoid being seen by enemy guards and searchlights, otherwise you’ll be thrown in jail. If you are caught at any time, you are thrown into a cell. To escape, climb on the table and jump to the ledge. Throw away the pot and crawl through the tunnel. Follow it straight to the end and continue north until you come to where you left off. Your goal for now is to disable all the searchlights to reach the upper floor where Aryll is being held captive. Hiding in the barrel, take the stairs up, avoiding the searchlights. Along a blue path is a ladder. Climb up to the first searchlight. Since you don’t have your sword, use the Deku Sticks found in a pot to defeat the Bokoblin guard. When he’s gone, climb back down and go right through the door. It would be good to grab a Heart Piece here. Drop down to the first floor room. Lift the barrels in the corner and step on the switch it blocked to open a jail cell. Inside is a chest. Open it for the Heart Piece (#1). The easiest way to get back to the second floor is to get caught by the Moblin guards and escape from the jail cell (see instructions above). Go north until you find the right room. You’ll see a swinging rope and a chest. Open it for the Dungeon Map, then swing across the room and take the further door. Go left onto the balcony, then climb up to the second searchlight. Defeat the Bokoblin as you did before, then climb back down and backtrack to the first searchlight. Go through the door. In this room, lift the barrels blocking a chest and open it for the Compass. Swing across the room and take the door there. Go left onto the balcony and take the winding path to a ladder. Climb up to the third searchlight and defeat the Bokoblin once again. Be sure to collect any Joy Pendants that these guys sometimes leave behind. Climb back down and take the north door. Swing across the room and take the door there. Go left onto yet another balcony to find a crate. Push it off the edge to create a stepping stone to the ladder in the main courtyard. Take the north door. This room requires good hiding techniques. Use the barrel to hide and sneak past the Moblins walking around this room. Don’t move when a Moblin is close by. A warning grunt will sound if you’re close enough. Sneak up to the big wooden door just across the room and go on through. Take the stairs up until you find a barrel. Use it to sneak past the single Moblin patrolling the floor. Go forward and you’ll come to a narrow ledge. Sidle across it, then across another gap collecting the hearts. Go up the stairs to find your sword lying there. Grab the sword, then fight the Shield Bokoblin guard. When he’s gone, go through the door to the cell to find Aryll. However, the joyous reunion is soon broken as the Helmaroc King grabs you. You will witness your first (albeit subtle) glance at Ganon before the big bird throws you into the Great Sea.
