You realize that you need to rescue Saria immediately.
Use the lance
You will fire energy at the palace, but the palace is undamaged.

As you do, the temple actually rises off the ground and into the air.

You try to make the Alpha Arm jump, but it's not high enough. Then something flies toward you from the temple. A Wyvern comes into view.

After watching it fly, it gets close enough to attack you.
Take the Wyvern
By issuing this command, you eject from the Alpha Arm and jump onto the back of the Wyvern.

In its current state, the lock can't stop you from opening the door. You notice a man sitting on the bed.
Talk to the man ×2
The man was a Light Mage from whom Soron drained magic. He gives you holy water which he says can break the curse, and then he vanishes.

Move back
Saria will suggest that the Samurai Sword is in the jail, and you will be instantly transported back to it.
Check the area
You will discover a hole in the wall.
Talk to Saria
She suggests that Soron's ring might be useful to break the seal.
Use the ring
Inserting the ring into the wall causes the wall to slide open, revealing the sword and a tablet.
Look at the tablet
The tablet explains that the sword is powering the palace's ability to fly. Therefore, it you take it right away, the palace will crash into the land below and you will die.
Talk to Saria
She notes a connection between the sword and the Light Drop.

You will discover a hole in the hilt.
Look at the jewel
It begins to shine.
