Eventually, Richard meets the hero Link, who is on a quest to awaken the Wind Fish. Richard tells him that in order to enter Key Cavern, the third dungeon, he needs a key to unlock the entrance. Richard explains to Link about his unfortunate situation and the loss of his Golden Leaves. He promises Link the key in exchange for the successful retrieval of his leaves. Link travels to Kanalet Castle and successfully gathers the five leaves from Richard's treacherous guards. Richard thanks Link and shows him a passageway to the Pothole Field behind his house. Link finds his way through the field and unearths the Slime Key.
