Welcome to the Land of Jewels. It is a peaceful land with vast mountains, glistening waters, and a dark past.
One thousand years before the Land of Jewels became what it is today, it was a land of constant turmoil and darkness. This land was called Hyrule.
Though the land seemed and looked peaceful, a shadow of a great and terrible man walked its dark confines. He was known as Ganon, the Gerudo King of Thieves.
Ganon, or Ganondorf as most called him, sought out the divine relic known as the Triforce. The entire Triforce could the grant the wish of whoever touched it. Ganondorf sought out the Triforce to obtain dominion over Hyrule, but a great obstacle stood in his way.
The Door of Time was the gate that separated the Hyrulian Realm from the Sacred Realm. The Door was locked by the power of the Three Sacred Spiritual Stones. The Stones of the Forest, Fire and Water were scattered throughout Hyrule and remained a secret for many years.
A few years after Ganondorf learned of the Triforce, the King of Thieves allied himself with the King of Hyrule. Though he swore his allegiance to the King, he only wanted to get closer and closer to the Triforce, which was guarded by the royal family.
The daughter of the King, Zelda, had a dream about a little boy in green clothes with an emerald and dark clouds hovering the skies. She knew that the dark clouds represented Ganon but she couldn't figure out the boy in green. Until that boy appeared.
The boy's name was Link. Zelda had Link embark on a journey to find the other to Spiritual Stones. Link succeeded in his quest but when he returned Ganon was chasing Zelda out of the castle. Zelda threw a small blue object into the water around the castle and escaped. Ganon gave chase furiously.
The Ocarina of Time, this was the object Zelda threw into the water. With this and the three Spiritual Stones, Link opened the Door of Time. Behind it, was a large sword stuck in a pedestal. Link pulled the sword out with much curiosity, not knowing what he'd done.
He pulled the sword from the pedestal and gained entrance to the Sacred Realm of Hyrule. Not only that, but Ganon entered as well. As Link fell into a deep sleep, Ganon laid his tainted hands on the Triforce. Then something happened that Ganon did not intend. Even though Ganondorf had succeeded in obtaining the Triforce, his heart was too vile and wretched to contain the power of the goddesses all at once. The Triforce split itself into its three separate parts and found suitable keepers.
Because it was what he most believed in, Ganondorf kept the Triforce of Power. Zelda, The Princess of Hyrule, obtained the Triforce of Wisdom. And Link, The Hero of Time, obtained the Triforce of Courage.
Link's body was kept in the Chamber of Sages for some seven years. When he awoke, he was greeted by Rauru, the light sage. Rauru told Link of what he was supposed to accomplish in the short time he had. So Link set out to unlock the Sages of the other temples. One by one they all were freed and they added their power to Link's. Then he made the final steps of his journey to Ganon's Castle.
Link slashed through enemies and destroyed the barriers that protected the passage to Ganondorf. He made it to the top of the tower and for the first time in seven years, all three pieces of the Triforce were in the same place at the same time. An enormous battle erupted between Link and Ganondorf. When Ganondorf was defeated it seemed like the battle was over. But the Triforce of Power remained in Ganondorf's grasp and with one final burst of energy, Ganondorf showed his true form to the world.
However it was still not enough. Ganon was defeated and was banished to the Sacred Realm of Hyrule.
Link saw many adventures and hardships afterwards but nothing compared to when Ganon crept from the seal and attacked the Hero of Time. Ganon was no match for Link as long as he had the Triforce of Courage and the blade that could smite evil. So Ganon did the unexpected. He locked the Hero of Time in the Sacred Realm himself and the Master Sword was left on the floor where Link once stood.
Over countless centuries descendants of The Hero of Time locked Ganon in the Sacred Realm and Ganon came back time and time again. But what ever happened to the real Hero of Time? Did Link die in the Sacred Realm of Hyrule, or was he destined to wander his eternal prison, forever? These questions are yet to be answered. However most believe the Hero still is alive, and they also believe that he will return to destroy Ganon's reign of terror, once and for all.
After his most recent escape. Ganon took a life of solitude and waited. He waited six hundred years to create an army beyond possible comprehension. Four powerful warriors were assigned as his Generals and were called the Four Wings of Ganondorf.
The Four Wings could attack at any time Ganon wished. However now they are needed for another task than to just take over the Land of Jewels. Ganon is in search of something that will grant him something terrible.
No one in the Land of Jewels knows what kind of history was set on the very ground they stood upon, no one except for me. I am the Deku Tree. Not the same soul that set Link on his quest to ultimately get the three Spiritual Stones, and his quest that resulted him in becoming the Hero of Time but the sprout that was allowed to flourish thanks to Link's heroic efforts in the Forest Temple. I wait for the day when the Hero of Time will be freed from his eternal prison and stand up to Ganon's evil power once again.
However, Ganondorf is just a myth to these people. Nothing more. The tales of him being defeated time and time again by the Hero of Time and his descendants are almost long since forgotten.
What ever happened to Ganondorf? Well some say he went into hiding. Some say he died of old age. I don't doesn't believe these rumors, because I know exactly what happened to Ganondorf. And I am yet to tell a soul.
But I see hope. Hope in a certain young man. Diamond is his name. I believe that one day, Diamond will grow up to wield a sword and free Link from the eternal prison in which he has stayed for several hundred years. And thus we travel to the Land of Jewels where the Legend of Zelda continues and the Quest of Diamond begins....
