Ikana Graveyard was heavily protected by Ikana forces, even guarded by Captain Keeta himself in life and in death. When Tatl senses Garo nearby, she says she can sense a "thirst for blood looming all around" them, possible evidence that the war started as, or eventually boiled down to, a conflict of mere bloodlust. Any spies infiltrating Ikana who were captured or defeated committed ritual suicide without leaving a corpse, and while common Garo would call this practice their "way," a Master Garo refers to it as "law." Details of the countless battles that ensued following the war's initiation are not revealed, but the Kingdom is said to be "stained with a history of darkness" and "drenched in blood," insinuating a merciless, long-winded conflict. The armies of the Garo's nation were apparently very skilled, even defeating Captain Keeta's soldiers on their own soil. The Garo Ninjas that haunt Ikana were originally spies from an enemy nation. Though the events which sparked the war between Ikana Kingdom and the nation from which the Garo hail are not divulged, what is made very clear throughout the game is their intense rivalry it is powerful enough to keep them fighting even after they have died. Īlthough Ikana's army was quite possibly its most notable achievement, there is also evidence that the subjects of Ikana Kingdom were skilled in the art forms of music and dance. The commander of that army was Captain Skull Keeta, a giant and a close servant of the King who had earned in life the respect and sworn allegiance of legions. Interestingly, if Link dons the Captain's Hat while battling Igos, a humorous cutscene occurs Igos mistakes Link for Captain Keeta, once a military general of Ikana, before realizing that Link is too "tiny" to be Keeta, and the battle begins again.Ikana boasted a capable army, the soldiers of which continue to fight after the Kingdom's demise. Once defeated, he will teach Link the "Elegy of Emptiness". Like his servants, Igos will avoid the lit areas. If this is done whilst Igos is standing, he either blocks with his shield or is hit and recoils in shock, though this will not destroy him. When Link finally sends Igos to the floor in a slump, he must shine Sunlight on the king to finish him. Until his head reattaches, Igos can not be damaged. His most notable attack, however, is when he removes his head, sending it flying to attempt to latch on to Link, while his body continues to attack. His attacks include swordplay and damaging breath. He reacts with surprise and anger when Link burns away the drapes and sunlight begins streaming into the chamber.Īfter Link defeats Igos' Servants by destroying them with Sunlight reflected off his newly acquired Mirror Shield, the King himself rises to do battle. If Link fires any projectiles at him, he will knock them away with his hand. Battleĭuring Link's battle with Igos' Servants, Igos will remain on his throne, though he will kick Link away if he approaches. Igos du Ikana is humming the "Elegy of Emptiness". With some words of encouragement for Link, Igos and his two servants fade away.ĭuring the end credits sequence, Igos du Ikana and his two bickering bodyguards can be seen floating around the throne room. Realizing that Link is capable of lifting the curse on the kingdom, Igos du Ikana teaches Link the " Elegy of Emptiness", a song that allows Link to create hollow shells of himself, which allow him to climb Stone Tower, a massive fortress housing Stone Tower Temple. Igos du Ikana then challenges Link himself, but he also yields to Link and his power.Īfter his defeat, the skeletal body of Igos du Ikana disintegrates however, he shortly thereafter reappears as a spirit. He summons his two guards to kill Link, but Link manages to remove the drapes blocking the windows in the room, and utilizes the Sunlight to defeat them. He infiltrates the ancient castle of Ikana Canyon, and eventually arrives in the throne room where Igos du Ikana still sits, beyond death. The hero Link eventually arrives in Ikana during his quest to awaken the Four Giants and save Termina from the Moon. Now a skeletal being, he ruled over whatever was left of Ikana with his undead guards. Despite the fact that he died, the king and his servants were re-animated by the power of a curse from Stone Tower Temple which had recently been opened by the Skull Kid. Eventually, Igos du Ikana died, as did the rest of the kingdom's inhabitants, and Ikana became a haunted, barren wasteland. Under the leadership of Igos du Ikana, the kingdom of Ikana fought in the Great War of Ikana. Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.
