Legend of Zelda: Chosen of Hylia

The cycle has become endless...

Time itself is split into three...

The 'conquered timeline', where it is a struggle to prevent Ganon's resurrection... It is the "Time of Power".

The 'adult timeline' created by Princess Zelda, where the old land has been washed away, and a New Hyrule has been born, free of the curse of the old land... It is the "Time of Wisdom".

The 'child timeline', where the chosen hero Link continues to battle courageously against foes his prior incarnations fought before the division... It is the "Time of Courage".

...But Demise is ever present in all three.

His hatred, and its refusal to die, manifests in all timelines, all in the form of Ganondorf, a King of Thieves.

In the "Time of Wisdom", and the "Time of Power", Ganondorf has been extinguished, and with him, Demise's hatred.

In the "Time of Power", the power of the Silver Arrow has turned the Demon King Ganon into dust, and his minions have failed to resurrect him, putting an end to the King.

In the "Time of Wisdom", Ganondorf is naught but stone, trapped underneath the waves of the world, the Master Sword his prison.

A new Demon King came to the surface, but has now been extinguished by the Sword of the Spirits of Good.

It is only in the "Time of Courage", that Demise's life force still lives on, immortal, and imprisoned in the Four Sword.

This sword that holds my power...

...

"You understand what must be done...to finally end Demise's cycle of hatred?"

"...Yes."

"I am asking you to sacrifice much in the coming quest, including the bonds you share with those you love. Do you still wish to become my "chosen"?

"...The souls of the ones I love are still trapped in this cycle with the Demon King. I will become your "Chosen"."

"...Thank you. Trust in Link when the time is right. It is only by his hand will the cycle be broken...but it will be by yours that he will gain the Courage, Wisdom, and Power to do it...And by yours that he will live long enough to do what must be done."

"It's time for you to wake up now..."
