OF THE ANCIENT DAYS
It is said that in the ancient times when our land was young, the sovereigns of the land of Hyrule kept control over the populace with the divine relic, the sacred Triforce of the Gods, the gift of the Great Goddesses to the people of the world which came to us from the sky, riding on an island of pure ivory and gold.
The glorious City of Hyrule was built by us, the Hylia, chosen of the Great Ones, around this island, which held the entrance to the Sacred Realm, resting place of this Golden Power.
Hirö, First Among His People and the First Great King of Hyrule, a man of great Power, Wisdom, and Courage, entered the other world. He traveled to the shining Temple of Light at the very center of the Realm, and took the sacred Triforce for himself(see The Book of Identities for a complete list of the Kings and Emperors of Hyrule).
He wished for the spirits of the Goddesses to bless Hyrule and turn it into the perfect kingdom.
"From now on, this shall be Hyrule's providence," he proclaimed. "The sacred Triforce, given to us by the Goddesses, shall be the symbol of this realm forevermore!"
With its grace, he ruled over the land in a time of great peace and prosperity. There was no hunger, no greed, no want at all in the country, and everyone was well for many years to come. However freedom from death was not something the King had wished for, and after one hundred twenty five years on the Crystal Throne of Hyrule, he passed on the relic to his son, who wished for the same things his father had.
Disö, the Second King, upon his death at one-hundred five years reign, passed it on to his son, who continued to wish for peace.
Tarosö, The Third King of Hyrule, who fought a just war against aggressors from the North with it and returned stability to the country, passed the relic on to his son after reigning for ninety-nine years(see Calatia: Land of Knights and Rogues).
The Fourth King, Korosö, who was a kindly ruler and who always used the Triforce to further the advance of his people, passed the relic to his son after reigning for eighty seven years.
Pantö, the Fifth King of Hyrule ruled for eighty years, during which little of note occurred, and then passed on the Golden Power to his son, Hantö, who, as King used it to forge important alliances with other races.
After seventy-five years, the Sixth King passed the Triforce on to his daughter, Sitë, for Hantö had no sons. She became the First Ruling Queen, who is counted Seventh among the Great Kings, and it was Sitë who put down several heated border disputes with the people of Calatia, then afterward ruled in peace
Her son, Ontolö, took the throne after Queen Sitë abdicated in the sixty fourth year of her reign, and the Sacred Triforce was passed on to him.
After sixty years as sovereign of Hyrule in an age of unparalleled peace and prosperity, the Eighth King of Hyrule died, and the Triforce passed to his son, Nivolö, whom we shall speak of next.
