Meanwhile, the Thunderbird was anticipating Link's exit through the main gate. Having realized that the Triforce of Courage was allowing Link to see past its invisible shield, it relaxed the technique. The monster seemed to "materialize" over the drawbridge; the guards noticed it and fired several arrows at once, but nothing seemed to phase it.



Link ran across the drawbridge, and as he did, newfound powers seemed to flow into the Thunderbird. A bolt of lightning surged from the creature, striking Link with more force than his own "Thunder" spell had once inflicted on the beast. Zelda screamed in horror, the monster glowed with satisfaction, and then it flew toward the east, leaving its victim for dead.
