Events
The King of Hyrule is Murdered
Agahnim sent the king to an early grave. Putting the soldiers of the kingdom under his spell, he kidnapped the maidens in whose veins flowed the blood of the Seven Sages.[1]
Agahnim Breaks the Seal on the Sacred Realm
Although the power of the Triforce and the bloodline of the Hylians continued to diminish, Hyrule enjoyed peace. That is, until the arrival of a man determined to break the seal on the Sacred Realm, now the Dark World. This man, a priest named Agahnim, wielded formidable magic. He caused the king's untimely death, placed the kingdom's soldiers under his control, and abducted the maidens descended from the Seven Sages. One by one, he sacrificed these maidens, sending them to the Dark World, and was on the verge of doing the same to Princess Zelda.[2]
Link Rescues the Shrine Maidens
If the passage to the Dark World were to widen, the Demon King Ganon would emerge into the Light World once again. The only way to prevent this was to defeat Ganon and take back the Triforce. Link traveled back and forth between the worlds. His first task was rescuing the maidens that had been sacrificed to the Dark World.[3]
Ganon Is Defeated
Ganon, taking the form of a massive demonic beast, launched a fierce attack, wielding dark magic and a three-pronged trident. Despite the overwhelming power of darkness, Link managed to defeat him. The Hero then claimed the Triforce and wished for peace to return to the world. Those who had been sacrificed, including Link's uncle and the king of Hyrule, were also restored to life and health. The Triforce was once again entrusted to Hyrule's royal family. With Ganon's defeat, the Dark World, which had been created by his malevolent heart, gradually disappeared.[3]
Twinrova Plot to Resurrect the Demon King
The twin witches known as Twinrova were plotting ways to perform the ceremony that would resurrect the Demon King. For the resurrection ceremony to occur, it was necessary to light the Flame of Destruction, the Flame of Sorrow, and the Flame of Despair, derived from the chaos, sorrow, and hopelessness ofhumanity. They would also need to offer up a sacred sacrifice. In order to obtain the Flame of Destruction and the Flame of Sorrow, Twinrova sent Onox, the General of Darkness, to the land of Holodrum, and Veran, the Sorceress of Shadows, to the land of Labrynna.[4]
Link Defeats Onox
Link defeated Onox's true form, the Dark Dragon, and rescued Din, returning the power of the seasons to the land of Holodrum.[5]
Link Defeats Veran
With the help of the Maku Tree, Link was able to enter the Black Tower and successfully drive out Veran, who had been possessing the body of Queen Ambi. He defeated Veran's true form and rescued Nayru, returning the flow of time in Labrynna to its regular state.[6]
The Demon King Is Revived
Twinrova, who had lurked behind the scenes in Holodrum and Labrynna, pulling the strings, managed to light the Flame of Destruction and the Flame of Sorrow. All that remained was to kidnap Princess Zelda and light the Flame of Despair. Using the princess as a sacred sacrifice, they attempted to resurrect Ganon. Link borrowed the power of the Oracle of Seasons and the Oracle of Ages and threw himself upon the ceremonial altar. He cornered and defeated Twinrova, but the twin witches sacrificed themselves to resurrect Ganon. Because the ceremony had not been completed, however, Ganon returned as a witless, demonic beast.[6]
Link Defeats the Demon King
Link brought down the rampaging Demon King and rescued Princess Zelda, restoring peace to the lands of Holodrum and Labrynna.[6]
Link Sets Sail
Bidding a fond farewell to all the people he had met during his trials, Link boarded a ship and set sail for the next land in which he would train.[6]
Link Washes Ashore On Koholint
While returning to Hyrule by boat after completing his training, Link was caught in a storm that sank his ship. When he regained consciousness, he found himself washed ashore on an island called Koholint.[7]
The Nightmare Is Defeated
The world Link found himself in was a part of the Wind Fish's dream, and waking the Wind Fish would cause the island to vanish in a stream of bubbles. The demons attacked Link in an effort to preserve their existence and the island they called home. Despite this, Link successfully gathered the Instruments of the Sirens. As he stood before the egg where the Wind Fish slept, the Hero faced a difficult decision. Now, the only remnants of Koholint Island existed in Link's memories, and the awakened Wind Fish flew into the sky. Though Link had once saved Hyrule, he ultimately became responsible for the destruction of the dream world. He set sail on another journey, and his fate after that remains unknown.[8]
