This is but one of the legends which the people speak...
Long, long ago, before the dawning of time, there lived a great evil. An evil of cunning and power unknown to the world. And though the evil had much power and swiftness, its lack of body prevented it from doing harm to the people of the world. Thus so the people ignored it. Though over time it became more powerful and great, until the time came when the dark would arise, and enslave the human race, making monsters supreme overlords of the world.
Though this time slowly approached, and for nearly three-thousand years the people of the world feasted and danced without a care in the world. But the darkness did not. The evil, known as Gannon, and his dark minions slaved away, and extened their powers by immense proportions! And thus finally, when the world was at its knees, and the dark was sure to prevail, it was hit with a blow that it did not intend to be stricken by.
A boy, garbed in green came, mounted upon a great horse, and for days slew his way to the fortress of evilness. Upon the breach of the fortress' moat and sturdy walls, Gannon, who by now had become horror stricken and ill, took up his weapons: swords, maces, harpoons, spears, arrows and fought with all of his might The battle raged on for days on end, constantly in combat, until the seventh day passed, and at long last the dark was lifted, or so it seemed...
Days became weeks, weeks became months, and months turned to years, and the world remained calm and peaceful as ever. Then the darkness returned, MORE POWERFUL THAN EVER!!!
The people waited and hoped for the boy in green from legend, thought to be a god to return to help them drive off the mighty Gannondorf once more, but none came to their aid. Slowly, and painfully, the world fell, into darkness, and was turned to ash and rubble by Gannon and his army, thereby polluting the world.
It was at this moment, as the great prophet, Tharticus lay on his deathbed that hope was restored once more, and before his time expired, he stated one last prophecy :
One shall come to save the souls in the hell that is Gannon's dominion.
Earth will come to life again, and the one will arise that Lynks the past to the future, and combine two goods to ward off the evil.
Only Lynks can bring the world to life once more, and banish the darkness...
