In the mystical land of hyrule there is an old legend passed down from generation to generation that tells of a young boy in green and a princess standing against and sealing the king of evil time and time again. The last time this great evil was awakened and was fought back has faded and only remembered by today's elders who have lived a long life. Little did the citizens of hyrule know, their own times legend would begin. In a small village placed in a quiet corner of hyrule a mother has just given birth in the still dark, early morning. Just outside her home we find her husband pacing back and forth with worry. The front door opens, catching the mans attention. "How is it going?!" the man asks. "I have wonderful news Mr. Yūkan'na, it's a healthy baby boy!" "Thank Hylia...can I go in now?" "Yes Ms. Yūkan'na and your child are inside, this way please." Torin walks over to his wife and son with tears of joy in his eyes. "My beautiful wife Verona, you have done an amazing job in birthing our handsome son". "Our beautiful baby boy has finally come Torin." "What should we name him?" "I was thinking of naming him Link just like in the old legend." "That is a wonderful idea." 5 years have passed and the little Link has grown into an adventurous little boy. Word from his parents has little Link excited for what's to come soon. He is going to be a big brother and he couldn't wait. However one life changing night would soon fall upon Link. Two years after his sister is born there is terrible news. Monsters have been spotted in the forests east of the village. Out for a walk Link's mother Varona has been captured by the beasts with only a shred of her clothing as evidence of her capture. One of the village hunters found the scrap and ran back as quickly as possible to tell Torin. Having not been awake Link or Aryll never knew what was happening after night had fallen. Torin set out to find Varona and bring her back to the safety of the village. Having found the cave where the monsters kept her Torin ventured into the darkness fighting his way into the deepest part only to find his beloved wife had lost her life trying desperately to fend off the foul beasts. In a fit of rage and sadness Torin blindly charged to the leader of the monsters clashing weapons and delivering a final blow to the beast only to collapse beside his wife from too much blood loss from his wounds. Stroking her cheek with tears in his eyes, his last words were "I love you." before taking his final breath. Just a few moments too late, the head of the guards ran in and fell to his knees, realizing that he was too late. The next day both Link and Aryll were placed under the care of their grandfather Smith.
