Long ago there existed a kingdom blessed with green fields, tall mountains, and
peace. One day a golden power along with three sacred items were gifted to the
kingdom from the heavens. The Phantom Hourglass. With it, the holder was
granted eternal life, so long as the Sands of Hours remained enclosed. The
Ocarina of Time. Those who played it were allowed to travel through time. The
Blade of Evil's Bane. A sword so powerful only a single individual chosen by
the gods could wield it.
One day, a man of great evil found the golden power and took it for himself. With
its power at his command he spread darkness across the kingdom. Then, when all
hope was lost and the hour of doom seemed at hand...
A group of heroes appeared as if from nowhere. Wielding the sacred items, the
trio sealed the dark one away and gave the land light. The people of the
kingdom carefully enshrined the items. The heroes, who traveled through time to
save the land, were known as the Trio of Time. Their story was passed down,
generations upon generations, until they became legend.
A day came when a fell wind blew across the kingdom and the darkness all thought had been forever sealed away by the heroes crept forth from the depths of the
earth. Eager to resume its dark designs it hid the sacred items in ancient dungeons. The people believed the heroes would once again come to save them. But the trio did not appear...
Powerless, the people could do nothing but appeal to the gods. As doom drew nigh they left their lives in the hands of fate.
What became of that kingdom...?
None remain who know.
The kingdom vanished but its legend survived on the wind's breath. On a certain
island it became customary to garb children in the color of the hero they matched when they came of age. Clothed in the green of fields, young men aspired to find legendary
blades and cast down evil. Wrapped in the red of flames, young women searched
for wisdom among time. Clothed in the blue of the sea, boys and girls
researched life increasing potions. The elders simply wished for them to have
courage like the heroes of legend did.
