Prologue
A New Beginning
Hyrule remains in its peaceful state as it did before Ganondorf took hold of the Triforce piece of Power. The King was never murdered, and the Hero clothed in green was granted by the princess to live the seven lost years of his childhood.
Seven years back into the past; the Hero warned his princess of the Gerudo King's plan in which she notified her father immediately. The King sent for Ganondorf and confronted him. The Desert King was charged and ordered to be executed for plotting betrayal against Hyrule and its ruler.
In doing so, the era where darkness would reign was prevented. The Princess had reset time with the Royal Family's prized heirloom: The Ocarina of Time. Only three would know of those seven terrible years: The King of Hyrule, his daughter Princess Zelda, and her Hero Link.
All remembrance of the dark times were merely but a distant memory, and yet the people knew not of what had occurred. They went on with their daily lives and sadly they knew not of their own savior, the one who traveled across space and time to protect his land.
And what of the six sages?
Each of the protectors do not recall of the disastrous event, but do recognize that they have played and still play important roles in Hyrule. Although they know not of the youth's identity as the Hero of Time, each of them do recognize him as or once was close friend.
Shortly after the ordeal, the young boy set off to a personal journey in search of a friend. Before he left, the princess had gifted him with the sacred ocarina as a remembrance of their time together. It was months before the boy returned empty handed. His first priority was to be reunited with his princess, in which he had come to know that she waited for him every day in the courtyard since his departure. Overjoyed with his sudden unannounced return, the young girl offered him her home.
The King, pleased as well to see the boy alive and in good health, declared that when his daughter became of age they would wed.
The Princess and the Hero spent their childhood together, they have been almost inseparable for eight years.
On the Princess's eighteen birth year, the King made an announcement his country that his daughter is to marry her suitor within months. But in order for her suitor to take his daughter's hand in holy matrimony, he must first succeed in a month long journey throughout the land. The Kingdom rejoiced at the news of the engagement of their beloved Princess and expected well results of their future King.
