THE STORY THUS FAR...

The kingdom of Hyrule seemed ready to enter a new golden age.

Link, the Hero of Time, one month after slaying the tyrant Ganondorf and rescuing his beloved Princess Zelda, had to save Hyrule once again, by gathering the power to stop the evil, cursed sorcerer Vaati, a monstrous entity with a 500-year-old grudge against Hyrule's Royal Family. Link slew the evil wizard, saving Zelda and Hyrule once again.

During the course of his adventure, Link learned that his beloved Zelda was, in fact, a magical half-Fairy, and that he, himself, was a Magi, one of the magic-wielding people of the mighty Aldarian Empire, the strongest, most technologically advanced civilization in the world, and that he was the long-lost Crown Prince of that Empire. At the end of his last adventure, Link was reunited with his parents, the Emperor and Empress of Aldare, and, after a visit to the Atlantis Oceanic Base, Link agreed to begin advanced training to enter the Imperial Fleet, to help in the Empire's war against the Shadows, an evil, space-faring race seeking the destruction of Aldare and conquest of their star system. Also, Zelda left for the Eletale School for the Magic Arts, to refine her magical talents, with Link's promise to visit her, and to wait for her.

Six months have passed since then. Link has honed his abilities and skills as Defender of Hyrule, continued his Fleet training, showing amazing prowess and potential as a military officer, while remaining ever-vigilant...and anxiously awaits the return of his true love. Zelda, too, is eager to return to her darling's loving arms. Also, in that time, Link's thoughts have begun to turn to thoughts of marriage.

But, though evil can be diminished, it is seldom truly vanquished so easily. Even now, as Link returns from a Fleet training mission to the far north, another enemy draws near, and another plot threatens to ensnare Hyrule, and destroy Link and Zelda's flowering love, even as Hyrule's annual Carnival of Time draws near.

Hyrule's Hero will need all of his might to survive...
