The Prologue:
The story from "A Link to the Past":
Centuries ago, in the land of Hyrule, the seven sages were given by the god Din, the Golden Power of the Triforce to protect the land from harm, and evil. When they felt that greedy men might abuse the power, they sent it to the other realm. It has many names, including the Dark Realm, the Undead Realm, and most notably the Sacred Realm. But when they sent it here, it created a guardian, who sealed the realm for all time. But, over the centuries the hold mysteriously started to crumble, and the evil Agahnim took advantage, and over threw the king, and imprisoned his daughter, Zelda. The guardian suddenly vanished, and Agahnim easily took the complete Triforce. With this, he took the descendants of Seven Sages, the current, and trapped them in the dark realm. The warrior known as Filonias tried to kill Agahnim, but died trying. This caused great anguish and hate in Felonias' son, Link. Link then went in search of the Guardian crystals, and pendants, as well as the master sword, to bring down Agahnim. Agahnim created hate inside of Link that destroyed him, but that hate may destroy Link as well.
