"AHH!!! You'll pay for this, Sages! Zelda! LINK!!!"
Far, far within the Temple of Light is the Sacred Realm, where Time stands still. Within the center of this realm, is the Chamber of the Sages, where the Triforce, the three golden magical triangles, is kept. Even further into the Chamber is the Evil Realm, the dungeon guarded by the Sages, where evil never escapes.
"AHH!!! You haven't seen the last me yet, little boy!!!"
Hyrule's greatest enemies and fears are kept in the Realm. The six Sages also remain in the Realm, never to return, only to guard the Triforce. Five of the Sages lived in Hyrule at a time of Darkness and Evil, but then were awakened as Sages.
"Sages, your power is nothing compared to mine!!!"
The Sages each live as a normal Hylian on Earth, not aware they have a "twin" protecting Hyrule. Each Triforce keeper, The Hero of Time, the Princess of Destiny, and the Prince of Light use the power of one Triforce triangle, a Triforce they can call their own. With Hyrule remaining in peace forever, the three Goddesses watch their beautiful land, never to be harmed. And so the Hero of Time, Princess of Destiny, and the Prince of Light never once again used their Triforce piece.
"Mwa! Ha! Ha! I'll break free, you know I will. And once again I, Ganondorf, Prince of Darkness, will soon become the Ultra Ganon, KING OF EVIL!!!"
Or so the Hylian prophets say. Yet, no prophet knew what would truly become of the Hero of Time, Princess of Destiny, of Prince of Light. What were the true identities of the Hylian heroes? This is their story...
"By the name of the Great Goddesses, Ganondorf, you know, as well as we all do, that you will never break free!" exclaimed the Sage of Light, Rauru.
"The Goddesses...of course...Din..." Ganondorf, in the Evil Realm murmured.
Saria, the Sage of the Forest, added, "Even if you could, Link would defeat you."
"Link very strong," stated Goron King, Darunia, the Sage of Fire.
"...And so romantic..." the Zora Princess, Ruto, Sage of Water, said with a gleam in her eye.
"And Din's the Goddess of Power...and I'm the Keeper of the Triforce of Power ... and the Triforce of Power is right here...and..." Ganondorf ignored the Sages and began plotting a scheme.
Impa, the Sheikah, Sage of Shadow, suggested, "And if Link couldn't destroy you, Zelda could."
"Yeah! GIRL-POWER!" yelled Naburu, Sage of Spirit. It wasn't a surprise that she would say something like that, because she was once the leader of female thieves, but the girls giggled anyway. Rauru and Darunia, the only male Sages, glared at them.
"DIN! Din, Goddess of Power, I summon you!" Ganondorf yelled.
Now, all the Sages started laughing. They were all thinking, "Why, would Din, creator of Hyrule and the whole world, want to see somebody that was trying to destroy them both?!"
Suddenly, a beautiful woman appeared. She wore pink clothing and had flowing, fiery red hair. She had appeared in the Evil Realm, and none of the Sages could observe her. "What is it, Ganondorf?" the woman murmured.
"Ah, Din! It's a small world!" Ganondorf said cheerfully.
The woman, Din, said, "Maybe it's not; I last saw you in the other world."
"Din, you see, I'm having a little trouble, I'm stuck here in this horrid place," Ganondorf said in his cheerful voice. Then he added in his evil, mischievous voice, "Free me, or else."
"I choose else," Din said.
Ganondorf was losing his temper. He pulled off his black glove, revealing a crest of three triangles--the Triforce. All of a sudden, the bottom-left triangle started to glow a magical golden color. "Really."
Din looked at Ganondorf. Din was the Goddess of Power. With the Triforce of Power in Ganondorf's control, he could do horrible things to her. Din sighed. She knew she would have to free Ganondorf from the Realm. "Fire!" she yelled as she cast the spell Din's Fire.
Din's Fire couldn't really break Ganondorf free, but no magic except for a Sage's was to be used in the Temple of Light. Therefore, Darunia, Sage of Fire, would be left in pain.
"AHH!" It was the yell of pain that Darunia had given. He had been knocked off his pedestal, where he stood to guard the Triforce. Ganon smiled. He knew that that was one key to getting out of the Realm.
"Darunia!" Saria and Impa rushed to help the Sage of Fire.
"That's half," Ganondorf thought.
Ruto was right by Darunia so she couldn't help but rushing to help him. Naburu did the same. Rauru was afraid the evil inside the Realm would escape, so he remained. "Sages! Sages, he'll be fine, come back to your pedestals, quick! I said he'll be--"
"Rauru, something is seriously wrong with Darunia!" Impa yelled. Usually, Rauru would have ignored this kind of warning, but this time Impa, who had been a nurse all of Princess Zelda's life had told him. Therefore, he rushed to King Darunia.
"Done!" Ganondorf exclaimed.
Now, Ganondorf's mind wasn't on her, so Din sent a thought-message to the other Goddesses, Nayru and Farore, "He's escaped; hide your Triforce!" Then she pointed up where Ganondorf was exiting and she saw the Triforce of Power vanish. She was pleased when she saw the Triforce of Wisdom and the Triforce of Courage vanish as well. She left and hid the Triforce.
"Mwa! Ha! Ha! Sages, give me the Triforce!" Ganondorf yelled as he appeared.
"We don't have it!" exclaimed Naburu. Nayru, Goddess of Wisdom, had informed the Sages of Din's plan.
"Of course you don't! Little girl! I've got candy..." Ganondorf said.
"Yeah! And I've got Forest magic! Forest Fairy Bomb!" Saria exclaimed as she cast her spell, Forest Fairy Bomb. A gigantic Kokiri Fairy attacked Ganondorf.
"DIN! Where is the Triforce?! DIN!" Ganondorf exclaimed, surprised that Din didn't appear. "DIN!"
"Sages, were you calling me?" Din asked as she appeared.
"Din, where is the Triforce?" Ganondorf asked.
"Why should I tell you? You have no power over me, for you do not contain the Triforce of Power. You never should have! It belongs to the Prince of Light, not the Prince of Darkness," Din replied.
"Oh, of course! You entrusted it with the Gorons. We always do. That's how they get 'all that power!'" Ganondorf said. "To Death Mountain, I go!"
"What makes you think you'll conquer Hyrule?!" asked Impa.
"We all know I can in seven years-time. But this time I'll eliminate those kids first, once and for all!" Ganondorf said.
"Link isn't in Hyrule, now! He happens to be in the country of Termina!" Rauru yelled.
"A different country...even better...Mwa! Ha! Ha! Ha!" Ganondorf laughed as he zoomed out of the Temple of Light.
"AHH!!! You'll pay for this, Sages! Zelda! LINK!!!"
