Several hundred years after Ganondorf's defeat, relations between Gerudo Village and Hyrule had become friendly once more, and peace had been restored to the land. However, one day a new Ganondorf was born into the world. He violated the laws of the town, trespassing into an ancient pyramid and taking possession of the Trident. He also stole the Dark Mirror from the Temple of Darkness in the forest in order to turn Hyrule into a place of darkness.

In order to enshroud Hyrule in darkness, Ganondorfbegan to usurp people's power. The first goal on which he set his sights was the resurrection of the evil wind sorcerer Vaati, who had been sealed away during the Force Era. Ganondorf used the power of the Dark Mirror to bring Shadow Link into the world, throwing Hyrule into chaos.

The Four Sword in Link's possession did not contain enough power to crush the darkness. The four facets of the Hero thus set out on a journey to obtain the Light Force while rescuing Princess Zelda and the Maidens.

The four Links rescued the Maidens from each corner of the land, liberating the Knights of Hyrule and the Royal Jewels that had fallen into darkness. Upon receiving the four Royal Jewels from the knights, the Links ascended the Tower of Winds from the Elemental Sanctuary using the power of the Maidens. The Heroes saved Princess Zelda from the top of the tower and continued on to the Realm of the Heavens, where the Dark Mirror that had been incessantly spawning Shadow Links lay. The four Links then recovered the mirror and defeated Vaati in the Palace of Winds.

The four Links and Princess Zelda made for the surface world as the Palace of Winds crumbled beneath them. There, Ganon appeared. The facets of Link cooperated with Princess Zelda to crush him, successfully sealing Ganon with the Four Sword. "I am the King of Darkness! I cannot be destroyed by insects like you!" he cried as he was sealed away. Light shone out all around them, and the darkness began to part. Link placed the Four Sword he had used to seal Ganon back into its pedestal in the Elemental Sanctuary, and his facets were once again united. Returning to Hyrule Castle, the Hero received a grand welcome. Princess Zelda looked down on the proceedings from the hall in the chamber of the Triforce within the castle.
