The time between the defeat of Ganondorf and his return to power had been short. Worse was the fact that the three races refused to join together to fight the army brought up by Ganondorf. That left the Hylians to face this horrid force; it also meant the hero of time would have to reawaken, which had already happened.
The lands that were once sunny fell to the elements of the weather. Much of Hyrule feel under rain and snow. While others began to wither and die. Many Hylians believed this was the work of Ganondorf, but Zelda believed something else.
Blood covered the once white marble of Hyrule castle and its market. Much of it was peasant blood. Ganondorf had deemed anyone not wishing to turn and fight for him, to be slaughtered like animals. The last safe places for the citizens of Hyrule were its castle and Lon Lon ranch. Both had troops stationed in case of attack. Hyrule Castle was the more likely target for attack since the market had already been invaded.
Princess Zelda would not flee however, she kept herself in Hyrule Castle, a move many peasants deemed brave and honorable. Those in the court of royals however were not amused, and tried to talk her into fleeing. Since they had not been able to convince her they fled for their own lives leaving only the princess and her most trusted guards.
The hero of time was on his way to Hyrule castle to get the princess to the safety of Death Mountain. Link, Darunia's son had already allowed this to be a safe haven for Zelda should they reach the base of the mountain. Thankfully this was possible due to the Gorons seeing the hero of time as their brother.
Link would be forced to fight through the creatures of evil, to reach the royal. When he reached the castle, his tunic was stained crimson in the blood of those that had fallen to the blade of evil's bane. Some had been washed away by the rain that was falling, however much of it clung to his tunic. Continuing on to the princess' quarters, the hero did not even bother cleaning even a little of the blood from his muscular frame.
There were many refugees inside the castle walls when the hero entered. Many were in horror as they saw the hero covered in blood. They feared he'd been wounded fighting for his kingdom and that hope had been lost as he rushed through the halls.
Pushing in the doors to her residence, the hero quickly bowed before speaking. "Princess Zelda, I must take you now, otherwise the castle will be overrun and you will be taken by Ganondorf once more." His words rushed, knowing the castle would be taken soon.
