Prologue
It has been hundreds of years since The Hero and The Princess sealed away Ganondorf in the Dark Realm. Twilight has yet to befall Hyrule, and there have been no whispers of war. Children are told of the Hero's exploits as bedtime stories, the Goddesses have kept silent, and calm has fallen over the land. The Queen and King of this time have faced no wars, no drought or famine, and above all, no evil; they have only faced prosperity, peace, and unity amongst all of Hyrule's citizens.
But there is still unease in the royal court. Unease is hard to shake after millennia of repeated, reborn, evil. This dark curse began when the Sky Children fell, when the original Dark Lord was defeated by the original Hero. When the strongest Goddess was reborn, not in a Queen or a Princess, but in a teenage girl. The curse was howled by the Dark Lord as he plummeted into the darkness, and this magic was powerful enough to haunt the decedents of the Sky Children for centuries. This fateful curse has caused numerous Queens and Kings to remain vigilant by building standing armies, and honing their unique skills. It has required the royal families to always have a Sheikah body guard present, and to maintain a peaceful relationship with the outlying tribes.
Two of the three pieces of the Triforce are accounted for. The Triforce of Wisdom, gifted by Nayru to the current Queen. The Triforce of Courage was, naturally, gifted by Farore to the current King. After becoming tainted by the Dark Lord during the most recent war, the Triforce of Power had been sealed away by Din herself. Rumors have circulated as to its whereabouts, but not even the Queen and King know of its location. Din swore to herself and her sisters that the Triforce of Power would never be touched by human hands again.
Ancient scriptures, lost to time mention another piece of the Triforce, a fourth piece. The center piece that holds the grand power of the Original Goddess, the one that created the three sister Goddesses. The one the severed the land to save her people, the one that was reborn in that teenage girl many eras ago. This Goddess has remained quiet, so quiet that there are no longer rumors or whispers of her presence. She has chosen to remain safe in another time, another place, somewhere the dark forces will never contact her. Hiding here, she can assure that her people, in their own time, will remain safe.
Our story starts here, in this land of peace, where a young monarchy rules the land. Where darkness and evil are a thing of the past, and not even the eldest citizen can recall a time of fear. Where the original Goddess will be forced to return.
