“In a realm beyond sight, The Sky shines gold, not blue. There, the Triforce’s might Makes mortal dreams come true.”
Long ago, in the beautiful kingdom of Hyrule surrounded by mountains and forests…legends told of an omnipotent and omniscient Golden Power that resided in a hidden land.
Many people aggressively sought to enter the hidden Golden Land… But no one ever returned. One day, evil power began to flow from the Golden Land…
So the King commanded seven wise men to seal the gate to the Land of the Golden Power. That seal should have remained for all time…
…But, when these events were obscured by the mists of time and became legend…
A mysterious wizard known as Agahnim came to Hyrule to release the seal. He eliminated the good King of Hyrule.
Through evil magic, he began to make descendants of the seven wise men vanish, one after another.
And the time of destiny for Princess Zelda is drawing near.
One night, a girl’s voice awakens you from your sleep.
She telepathically pleads.
You jump out of bed not knowing whether the voice was part of a dream or reality. Upon leaving your bed, you find your uncle, who should be fast asleep at this time, preparing to go out, girded for battle.
“I’ll be back by morning,” he says as he departs. “Don’t leave the house.”
You watch him leave with the family sword in hand and shield on arm. This night is like no other… Who is Zelda? Where had your uncle gone and for what reason?
And so, on an ill-fated night, a new chapter in the legend of Hyrule’s hero begins—a new chapter in The Legend of Zelda!
