The Legend of Zelda: The Hylian War

Chapter 1

The Return of Evil

He winced, eyes flickering open. As usual, he was surrounded by darkness. It was hard not to be in the Netherworld, the place where banished souls went. He was in the lowest ring of the area that the Hylians refered to as Hell, having been a victim of his own greed. But that was not what had slain him…

He ran the final image through his mind. The pain that had pierced his skull had been unbearable; hence, death. The man looked around. He was even lower than the various other fiends the Hero of Time had slain. Due to his pure evil nature, and the way he had abused the power of the gods, the power that rightfully belonged to him.

For all the time he had spent in this Realm of darkness, he had grown familiar with the area. What he wasn't familiar with, however, was the sudden shine of Golden light. For the first time in what felt like a millenium, yet he knew had only been a year, he could see. But where was that painful light coming from?

He looked down. And saw it.

It was glowing.

He was stunned. Why was this happening? He thought he had been separated from it during the final battle with the Hero of Time…But Apparently not. A voice spoke into his mind, one which was numbingly familiar yet amazingly foreign.

You were the King of Evil…The lord of your own nation. And you wanted more. You threw your kingdom into a deadly game of all or nothing, your life included. And you had it for seven years…Do you want it for eternity?

Ganondorf, King of Evil, smiled.

"What do you have in mind?"
