Link to a section frame links to first page

Question

I want to link to a section frame from another frame. \hyperref[label]{Text} should do the job but it links to the first frame instead.

My MWE (using XeLaTeX):

\documentclass[aspectratio=43]{beamer}
\usetheme[progressbar=frametitle]{metropolis}
\usepackage{fontspec}  

\begin{document}
\frame[plain,noframenumbering]{\maketitle}

\begin{frame}{TOC}
  \tableofcontents[hideallsubsections, sections={1-2}]       
  \hyperref[specialLink]{Special Link to Three}
  \tableofcontents[hideallsubsections, sections={4}]             
\end{frame}

\section{One}

\section{Two}

\section{Three}\label{specialLink}

\section{Four}

\end{document}

Update: Tried @samcarter's answer but the link now points between the first and second slide of a section. Updated MWE below:

\documentclass[aspectratio=43]{beamer}
\usetheme[progressbar=frametitle]{metropolis}
\usepackage{fontspec}  

\begin{document}
\frame[plain,noframenumbering]{\maketitle}

\begin{frame}{TOC}
  \tableofcontents[hideallsubsections, sections={1-2}]       
  \hyperlink{specialLink}{Special Link to Three}
  \tableofcontents[hideallsubsections, sections={4}]             
\end{frame}

\section{One}

\section{Two}

\section{Three}\label{specialLink}

\frame{a}
\frame{b}
\frame{c}
\frame{d}

\section{Four}

\end{document}

The correct syntax is \hyperlink{label}{link text}

% !TeX TS-program = xelatex
\documentclass[aspectratio=43]{beamer}
\usetheme[progressbar=frametitle]{moloch}% modern fork of the metropolis theme
\usepackage{fontspec}
\begin{document}
\frame[plain,noframenumbering]{\maketitle}
\begin{frame}{TOC}
  \tableofcontents[hideallsubsections, sections={1-2}]

  \hyperlink{specialLink}{link text}
  \tableofcontents[hideallsubsections, sections={4}]

\end{frame}
\section{One}
\section{Two}
{
\addtobeamertemplate{section page}{\label{specialLink}}{}
\section{Three}
}
\begin{frame}
test
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
test2
\end{frame}
\section{Four}
\end{document}

This links to the last frame of the section. – yoshegg Jul 08 '18 at 17:23
@yoshegg Works fine for me – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Jul 08 '18 at 17:26
I was wrong, it points to somewhere between the first and second slide of a section. See my updated question for updated MWE. – yoshegg Jul 08 '18 at 17:32
@yoshegg With the position of your label it links to the first frame after the label. The section frame is already finished at the position you used the label. – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Jul 08 '18 at 17:44
Okay, I understand, I have to put it in front of the relevant \section. Now my pdf reader puts the text of the section slide on top, instead of the top of the section slide. – yoshegg Jul 08 '18 at 17:48
What I meant: Any idea on how to make this work they it works for the other sections? – yoshegg Jul 09 '18 at 14:15
@yoshegg have a look if https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/285201/hyperlink-to-top-of-the-page-with-given-hypertarget helps – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Jul 09 '18 at 14:38
