Episodes
The Ringer -- Link is bored with castle life and only stays because of his love for Zelda. Meanwhile Ganon learns of a magicians contest and decides to use it as a decoy in an attempt to steal the Triforce of Wisdom.

Cold Spells -- Link fakes a cold to get out of spring cleaning. Ganon gives Spryte (a reapearing fairy that has a crush on Link throughout the series) a boost of power. When she uses this boosted power to get out of her own spring cleaning, things quickly get out of control.

The White Knight -- A white knight comes to Hyrule and seeks to take Link's place. He quickly gains the affections of the Princess and makes Link feel like a fifth wheel. When it comes to doing having what it takes, however, this new hero rather let the princess be taken than get his hands dirty.

Kiss 'N Tell -- Link rescues a damsel in distress. A kiss is his reward, as well as a curse that turns him into a frog. When Princess Zelda is kidnapped by Ganon, Link must find a way to become human again.

Sing For The Unicorn -- King Harkinian is kidnapped in the middle of the night by Ganon who is riding a brand new unicorn. Zelda is bothered by where he could have obtained the unicorn, "beautiful creatures aren't his style." By the time Ganon's demands reach the castle, Zelda and Link have already mounted a rescue. Along the way they run into Sing, a beautiful yet deadly warrior looking for her unicorn. In return for Link and Zelda's help in rescuing her Unicorn, Sing rescues King Harkinian from a very long fall.

That Sinking Feeling -- When Ganon wrecks a date between Link in Zelda, they go to finish this long-standing struggle once and for all. As they leave Hyrule Castle, however, it sinks into the ground with the King and Spryte trapped inside.

Doppelganger -- Ganon creates a magic mirror. When Zelda looks into it, an evil reflection steps out. While the true Zelda is kidnapped, the evil reflection seduces Link into doing Ganons will. For those who have always wanted Zelda to kiss Link, this is the only episode in which it happens.

Underworld Connections -- While Link fakes sleep walking in another attempt to get Zelda to kiss him, sever Keese fly into his room and blow the triforce up into three pieces. Link is able to send a beam from his sword into one of the triforce shards and destroy the Keese before the other two pieces are delivered to Ganon. Link and Zelda set out to retrieve the two missing pieces which are seperated in two differant regions of Ganons underworld.

Stinging a Stinger -- Link saves an old man in the woods. In return, the man offers to trade a new sword for Link's old one. The new sword breaks in battle and Link must find a way to retrieve his old one.

A Hitch in the Works -- All's peaceful in Hyrule. Ganon hasn't attacked in weeks and there's no sign that he will any time soon. To earn his keep, Zelda orders Link to do chores around the castle. While working, Link meets Doof, the castle handyman. One of Doof's creations is a robot that soon gets out of control.

Fairies in the Spring -- King Harkinian builds a water park in order to beat the heat. But a group of faires aren't too thrilled when he decides to build his park right on top of their spring.

The Missing Link -- During yet another attack on the castle, Ganon aimes to transport Zelda to his evil jar (where his minions go whenever they get zapped). He misses the mark however and instead hits Link with his spell. Being weakened by ricocheting off several of the castle walls, the spell only gets Link's body and not his spirit. Zelda is the only one who can see Link. They go off to retrieve his body. Later it's found out that the only reason Zelda could see Link is because she loves him, a fact she vehemently denies.

The Moblins are Revolting -- After a botched attack on the castle, Ganon punishes the participating Moblins. Disgruntled by Ganon's treatment, Ganon's minions plan a takeover. They succeed in jailing Ganon in a spell of his own creation. With an army of virtually every minion in Ganon's repertoire, an ill-conceived battle is waged on Hyrule Castle. Link and Zelda soon realise Ganon's not leading this group and decide this would be the perfect chance to get the Triforce of Power that is in Ganon's possession. Due to some clumsiness on Link's part, Ganon is freed and the army of minions are severely punished for their insurrection by being forced to clean the underground labyrinth, with their tongues.
