'Did you feel the wind, did you feel the death and suffering on the wind.' Asked the Great Deku tree. He was obviously fearful. 'Yes I did, the last time I felt that feeling was when. but no he cant be back.can he?' Link said. With this the Deku tree frowned. 'Link, look over to your left towards Hyrule Castle.' Link looked and gasped. There hovering over Hyrule field was a huge dark menacing cloud. It reminded Link of the cloud over Death Mountain 8 years ago. Navi stuttered, 'It's not possible. It can't be. He's sealed away.' The Deku Tree told them what they didn't want to hear. 'I am afraid it is true. He has returned, Ganondorf walks among us again.' Link turned towards the Deku Tree. 'How did he escape? What's he trying to do? How can we stop him?'

'Listen closely to my words, he who obtained the power of the Gods was sealed inside the Sacred Realm by the Sages. However Ganondorf still held the triforce of power which he used along with his power and his magical ability to break the seal and return to Hyrule. I have no idea of what he hopes to do now but the sages could easily imprison him once again. OH NO! If Ganondorf wishes to rule Hyrule once again he would need to dispose of those who could stop his attempts. The Six Sages. Not only that but the person who has the power to rule them all. The Seventh Sage.Princess Zelda.'

Link's face went pale. During the past 8 years he had become very close to Zelda. He travelled Hyrule and had met Zelda many times. In fact he had begun to fall for her and he was sure she felt the same way. 'How can I stop him?' Link asked determinately. 'You must retrieve the Master Sword once again and save the Sages before confronting Ganon once again. 'But that is impossible, the Master Sword is behind the Door of time which is sealed shut and the Ocarina of Time well.Zelda has it'. Link answered panicking. 'Link there is something I didn't tell you before. When you returned and replaced the Master Sword to the pedestal of time the king of Hyrule, took the Pedestal of Time and placed it in Hyrule castle's basement just in case Ganondorf returned again.' So there is hope as long as you can take the sword and once again emerge victorious, will you accept the challenge'

Link nodded reluctantly. 'Also I wish you to take your fathers hylian shield. I believe he left it for you. It is my wish that you use this shield.' The Deku tree demanded. Link looked puzzled. 'Deku Tree, do you know how my parents died?'

The Deku Tree frowned. 'It is not my wish to tell you this, but I believe I have hidden it for too long. Your parents did not die. they were murdered.' 'By who.' Link whispered,

'The one born of evil, Ganondorf'
