The hero of time left hyrule after saving the land from the evil gannon, he had lost a great friend, and went into the forest to search for her. The lost woods is a very large place, and he soon became lost. Riding upon his trusty horse, he was ambushed by a imp wearing a mask, and his two fairy companions. They took his horse and ocarina, and fled into a new unknown land. Link followed with haste, into the land of termina. He fought bravely against the mask and won, his journey was over and he was to return to hyrule, but something did not feel right in the lost woods, there was a smell, almost of ashes. As link exited the lost woods into kokiri village, he was struck with surprise, pillars of smoke rose into the air, ashes and embers rained down on the woods, and the remains of the village, burning, there were no screams, or cries for help, as the kokiri and their fairies were already dead. Moblins patrolled the remnants of the wooden huts looking for anything that remained alive. There was only one explanation, gannondorf had escaped the sacred realm and was getting his revenge for all link had done. There was a yell, and all the moblins rose to combat stance, link had been spotted. Without thinking link ran backward into the shadows of the forrest, to escape this nightmare.
