Disclaimer: I don't own Zelda. That's it, and that's all. This also has
nothing to do with a timeline or anything, except that it takes place after
Majora's Mask, and as I have not played any of the other games besides the
N64 ones, this may be leaving out quite a bit. And I am going by an idea
that came into my head when I read a game series timeline, so whoever
thought that timeline up, whether they be Nintendo or some other random
person, that timeline belongs to them and not me.
Prologue
In the land of Hyrule, there echoes a legend.
A legend held dearly by the Royal Family that tells of a boy...
A boy who, after battling evil and saving Hyrule,
crept away from that land that had made him a legend...
Done with the battles he once waged across time,
he embarked on a journey. A secret and personal journey...
A journey in search of a beloved and invaluable friend...
A friend with whom he parted ways
When he finally fulfilled his heroic destiny
and took his place among legends...
It has been long since the Hero of Time left the land of Hyrule, where he was born. The journey he left upon was unknown by many, and very few knew what happened to him. Only those who had known him personally knew the true reason, and passed it on to their descendants...
It was said that he did return eventually, but that too was a mystery, a simple rumor that many believed not to be true. No one knew the truth except for those who were descended from the Sages.
For time passed. Years went by, and the name that was originally given to the Hero of Time was lost. The legend of the Sages and the Hero of Time remained a legend all knew, and the mystery of the Hero of Time also remained. The Sages passed on, and after many years, the races of the land began to spread apart. They began to despise of the other races, except for the elven Kokiri and the wise Shiekah, who managed to keep their line.
Eventually, the path to the Master Sword was opened once again, but none could wield it nor touch it. The Three Stones: The Kokiri's Emerald, the Goron's Ruby, and the Zora's Sapphire, were placed in the Temple of Time to stay there as a reminder of what happened so long before. There was no way to open the Sacred Realm, for when the Hero of Time left Hyrule, he had taken with him the Ocarina of Time.
A thousand years had passed in Hyrule since the departure of the Hero of Time. Because of their dislike of each other, most of the races were beginning to fight with each other. The Kokiri were struck by a disease, which wiped out most of their kind. Terrible things were happening, and the Princess of Hyrule, called Zelda after her ancestor, was becoming more in tune with the problems of the land. Those who wished for the peace of the thousand years before were few in number, and wished for something to happen. That someone would be able to come and reunite Hyrule once again. The legend of the Hero of Time was in their hearts.
But no one ever expected that after so many years, the Hero of Time would actually return to Hyrule.
