The Story So Far
The young princess stared through the window, into the hall of the castle, at the man with the evil eyes, whom her father, the King, trusted so well. He had sworn his allegiance with the Hyrule Kingdom, but she knew his intentions were not pure. Just a couple days ago, a boy in a green tunic had come to her, bearing the Spiritual Stone of the Forest, just as it had occured in her dream. The other element from her dream were the dark clouds that extended over the Hyrule kingdom. She knew the dark clouds represented that man, that man with the evil eyes. Unfortunately, her father did not believe in her premonition. He could not see the darkness in the man's eyes. She knew he could only want the sacred Triforce, which was hidden in the Temple of Time, behind the Door of Time, in the Sacred Realm. But soon, her plan would come to fruition. She had asked the boy with the green tunic to collect the three spritual stones, one of which was the Spiritual Stone of the Forest, while she herself would guard the Ocarina of Time. Both were necessary to open the Door of Time. She smiled to herself as she thought of the look on the man's face as his plans were foiled. And suddenly, his face appeared before her.
"Hello, Princess Zelda. My name is Ganondorf" he said roughly.
"Wh-what are you doing here? Guards!" she screamed frantically as she tried to step away from him.
The man laughed, "Oh, it's no use to call for help. Your guards have been... Relieved of their duties. So has your father."
She frowned, "My father?" She turned and widened her eyes as she looked through her spying window. She found the hall drenched in blood, her father lying limply on the floor. The man then put his arms around her and tried to carry her off but was stopped as a puff of smoke enshrouded them.
The princess was rescued from the man's arms, and she looked up to identify her savior. It was Impa, her personal body guard and last remaining memer of the Shiekah tribe. She tossed another smoke ball and they disappeared from the room. They were suddenly outside the castle, and riding away from it on a powerful horse. As they ran out of the town and across the moat, she looked over and saw the boy in the green tunic, Link. She took out her Ocarina of Time and threw it into the moat before him.
Link watched the two ride away from the castle, then turned to find Ganondorf on his own black horse.
"Where did they run off to, boy?" the man yelled roughly.
Link said nothing and took out his Kokiri Sword and Deku Shield to do battle with him.
Ganondorf laughed as he prepared a shadow ball and tossed it at the boy, who fell back in pain.
"Silly boy, I am Ganondorf, the Dark Lord. I will not be defeated by such a weakling" And with that, he rode off after Princess Zelda and Impa.
When Link regained consciousness, he remembered the Ocarina of Time the princess had thrown in the moat. He jumped into the river and retrieved the Ocarina. Link knew what he had to do, so he ran off to the Temple of Time. He had already acquired the three stones of light, so he placed them in their respective spots on the pedestal. The Kokiri's Emerald on the forest symbol, the Goron's Ruby on the mountain symbol, and the Zora's Sapphire and the ocean symbol. With the three stones in place, he took out the Ocarina of Time and played the magical Song of Time.
The door opened before him, into a dark hallway, with a light at the end of the tunnel. He ran through the hallway and up the steps to a sword in the stone. To retrieve the Triforce, one must be able to pull the Master Sword from its sheath. He stepped onto the pedestal and put his hands carefully around the handle of the sword, and slowly pulled it out. Suddenly the room fell into darkness, and Link lost consciousness.
