Years have passed since the last Hero arose. The tales became legend, legend became myth and myth was forgotten. The land has changed drastically. New inventions now dominate the horizon. People can now connect to each other from across the land in an instant. The different species live together in harmony, coexisting like their ancestors could not. It is a time of peace that has lasted hundreds of years, something that was previously unheard of and thought impossible. The darkness that once repeatedly plagued the world was vanquished long ago.

Or so it would seem.

The land of Hyrule still hides secrets deep within mysterious groves and grottoes. Since Link defeated Ganondorf last, peace has reigned, for the fear of darknes no longer loomed over the land. Gorons, Zoras and the other residents bonded together, convinced that a united Hyrule would be forever safe. They were right, for a time...

But darkness cannot be vanquished completely. Shadows lurk everywhere. And just as the darkness returns, so does the light...a young hero and heroine are about to embark on a quest that will change Hyrule forever.
