Prologue

The final battle was over. Ganon was defeated and sealed away and the land of Hyrule was finally breathing a soft and warm breeze after seven years of darkness. But in one person, happiness did not come. It was the princess, who had just send her hero away, back into his own time. Standing in the ruins of the once proud Hyrule Castle, the princess did nothing, but weep.

Interrupted by soft steps from behind, she turned around to see a very familiar face smiling at her. Hardly believing, all she managed to say was: "But I've sent you back!". The young hero smiled. "According to the sages, I don't hold the element that broke the time barrier, the Ocarina of Time. So I guess I'm here to stay. And I wouldn't want anything else."

Following the trail that leads out of town and over to Lon Lon Ranch, the hero and the princess arrived, being received with a warm and cheerful welcome. Everyone laughed, congratulated each other, told several stories, creating new legends and folk songs. It was a happiness long lost, but now recovered.

After a long while, talking to old friends and people who helped him in his journey, the young hero was approached by the princess one last time that night. "It was nice to see everyone again, especially with a happy smile on their faces. It's just like seven years ago." The princess only nodded. "Well, I have to go now." The hero said, looking at her. Surprised, she asked him where he was going. "There's still one more thing I have to finish before declaring this journey completed. I still have one more promise to keep." he said with a smile and left the farm, heading South to fulfil one last promise he made to a very special friend.
