Saints of the Gods
Prologue-The Legend of Zelda
Long ago, there was an ancient kingdom called Hyrule. In this land, there was a great and sacred relic hidden away, called the Triforce. Within itself were three pieces: the Triforce of Power, the Triforce of Wisdom, and the Triforce of Courage. It is said that the Goddesses created these relics when they left Hyrule. Din, the Goddess of Power and Maiden of Fire, had cultivated the earth with her strong, flaming arms. Nayru, the Goddess of Wisdom and Maiden of Light, created the Spirit of Law and gave night and day to the land. Farore, the Goddess of Courage and Maiden of Earth, created life and all beings who would uphold the Law. With their tasks complete, they departed from the land and returned to the Heavens. Then a war, which sent the land into great peril, came many years later. The Dark One, from the land of the desert, had wished to obtain the power of the Triforce, and was sealed away by the very power he had hoped to command. A boy from the forest of fairies, called Link, had wielded the blade of evil's bane and sent the Dark One away for a hundred years. He had gained the Triforce of Courage during the trials, but when he left the land of Hyrule, he lost that power. Zelda, the Princess of Hyrule, had returned the Triforce pieces to their original resting place, inside the protection of the Sacred Realm. They were left there, for a long time, and were eventually given back to their true owners: Zelda, Link, and the Evil King. The gods had chosen to seal Hyrule beneath the waves of a torrential rain, in order to keep the Dark One from gaining power once more.
In the Great Sea, under which Hyrule lay dormant, another battle waged. One of the Hero of Time's true descendants, another child named Link, found the Sacred Blade and cast back the Dark One, turning him into stone on top of his own castle beneath the waves. The Blade was left there for the rest of time, until a new Hyrule was created. Link and Zelda had traveled far north of the Great Sea and found a place to build a new Hyrule. Thus, we begin in this new land. A forest child, named Korince, was in the city of Market, looking for things he could purchase and use. Today was the day of the Saint of Farore!
