Return to the Forsaken Fortress
When you arrive at the Fortress, find the fish and give him some bait. He'll mark your sea chart and challenge you to a game, which requires you to shoot arrows at him. If you hit him, he'll give you some rupees. If you hit him every time, he'll give you even more rupees.
Equip the bombs and use the cannon to destroy the wooden door on the fortress, then sail in. When you reach the searchlight area, you'll face Ganon, or at least his shadow. Target him with L, then wait for him to throw his blue energy ball your way. Bat it back with your sword, and he'll do the same. After a few hits back and forth, he'll miss and hit the ground. Use that opportunity to attack him. After a few of these matches he'll vanish, dropping the skull hammer.
Go through the wooden doors. Use the skull hammer to smash the thorn-covered spikes blocking the doorways, and make sure you grab the piece of heart from the first floor if you missed it during your previous visit.
Follow the same path you took the first time you came here, with a few exceptions. There are no lamps to swing on, so use the deku leaf to glide across small gaps. You may encounter a floor master as well, a scary hand protruding through the floorboards. Take these out with a boomerang hit and then a flurry of sword swipes, or use a single ice arrow followed by a single fire arrow. Either works.
When you reach the prison, you'll see Aryll and her fellow captives. But the reunion will be cut short by the arrival of the big kidnapping bird, the Helmarog King.
Helmarog King
Run up the steps, avoiding everything so that the stairs don't collapse under you. You can make it on your first try if you don't stop. If you fall, you'll need to use the grappling hook to cross the gaps in the stairs. Get to the top, and get ready to fight.
Use yourself as bait. Get the bird to fly down and try to peck at you--his beak will get stuck in the ground. Use the skull hammer to bang on his helmet. Do this until his helmet shatters, then swipe at his head with the sword.
When the Helmarog King is defeated, grab the heart container and get ready for a lengthy cutscene.
