"A long time ago, the World was in an age of Chaos. In the midst of this
chaos, in a little kingdom in the land of Hyrule, a legend was being handed
down from generation to generation, the legend of the "Triforce": golden
triangles possessing mystical powers. One day, an evil army attacked this
peaceful little kingdom and stole the Triforce of Power. This army was led
by Ganon, the powerful Prince of Darkness who sought to plunge the World
into fear and darkness under his rule. Fearing his wicked rule, Zelda, the
princess of this kingdom, split up the Triforce of Wisdom into eight
fragments and hid them throughout the realm to save the last remaining
Triforce from the clutches of the evil Ganon. At the same time, she
commanded her most trustworthy nursemaid, Impa, to secretly escape into the
land and go find a man with enough courage to destroy the evil Ganon. Upon
hearing this, Ganon grew angry, imprisoned the princess, and sent out a party
in search of Impa. Braving forests and mountains, Impa fled for her life from
her persuers. As she reached the very limit of her energy, she found herself
surrounded by Ganon's evil henchmen. Cornered! What could she do? ... But wait!
All was not lost. A young lad appeared. He skillfully drove off Ganon's henchmen,
and saved Impa from a fate worse than death. His name was Link. During his travels
he had come across Impa and Ganon's henchmen. Impa told Link the whole story
of the princess Zelda and the evil Ganon. Burning with a sense of justice, Link
resolved to save Zelda, but Ganon was a powerful opponent. He held the Triforce
of Power. And so, in order to fight off Ganon, Link had to bring the scattered
eight fragments of the Triforce of Wisdom together to rebuild the mystical
triangle. If he couldn't do this, there would be non chance Link could fight
his way into Death Mountain where Ganon lived. Can Link really destroy Ganon and
ave princess Zelda? Only your skill can answer that question. Good luck. Use
the Triforce wisely."
