It was everywhere. The darkness only nourished the evil that crept at the edges of Hyrule, hungrily eating away at the light of the peaceful realm. It came slowly at first, only a small degree of power that pulsated through the air, sensed only by those sensitive to it. Gradually it increased as it passed through the land, through the mighty rivers and over the vast plains, and even into the secluded forest where no mortal dared to go. It was here that it reached the guardian spirit of the forest, a tall and mighty tree that towered above all else in that sacred realm.
"The evil is rising. Hyrule is in grave danger… Navi, where art thou, Navi the Fairy?"
"I am here, Great Deku Tree."
"Navi, dost thou sense it? The climate of evil ascending upon this realm… It is threatening to the well being of Hyrule… Even my power stands as nothing against it."
A slight shudder. "But Great Deku Tree, where does such power stem from?"
"From the desert, that is what I feel. Navi, the time has come for the boy without a fairy to begin his quest. His destiny must be fulfilled, and now is the time… Bring him here, Navi, for my time within this realm runs short…"
"Of course. I will hurry back with the boy." The fairy was unsure what the Deku Tree's last words meant, but the growing feeling ofdread that ran through her was enough reason to find the boy quickly. She set off, gentle wings fluttering against the warm springtime air to find the boy without a fairy, a boy with a future greater than anyone could have predicted.
