The Legend Of Zelda
This is a story passed down from the royal family to the people of Hyrule.
Once, ages ago, when there were another human race living among the earth, a man was born into a tribe of women. His name is long forgotten but his crimes will never be forgiven.
The man was a king of thieves, stealing and causing strife across the land of Hyrule. Mercilessly, he stormed his way into the Sacred Realm and claimed the Triforce for his own. But with so much hate and greed in his heart, the Triforce transformed him into a disgusting beast, living on sin alone.
It was then a hero arose and sealed him away. And through the ages whenever this evil reared its head the hero would arise again and again to seal the darkness away.
Now, it is said that the princess is the one who calls upon and wakes the hero. It is customary to name the Hylian princess Zelda after her ancestors who carry ancient power to aid the hero. For it is by Princess Zelda that the hero's spirit awaken at all.
Many ages passed and Hyrule seemed at peace. But The evil rose once again, claiming Ganon as his name. He went to steal the triforce to plunge the world into utter chaos. But the princess Zelda was quick with thought and split the triforce into eight pieces and hid them across the land. As the evil one captured the princess she commanded her nursemaid to find the hero and tell him his quest.
It was then that the hero's spirit awakened. With instruction by the nursemaid he went across the land, claiming all the pieces of the triforce and set out to defeat Ganon.
With a sword of magic and the help of the triforce the hero defeated Ganon and set the princess free.
But the hero would not be able to rest, for the followers of Ganon sought his blood to resurrect their master.
What became of the hero? None know to this day.
All that remains is this legend, and in honor of the princess we will lovingly it as The Legend of Zelda.
