In the beginning, the three Goddesses: Din, Farore and Nayru came down from the heavens and made the world of Hyrule. Din, the Goddess of Power, with her strong flaming arms, cultivated the land. Nayru, the Goddess of Wisdom, gave the spirit of law to the world. Farore, the Goddess of Courage, created all the life forms (the fish-like Zora in the watery areas, the rock-eating Gorons in the rocky mountains, the elfin Kokiri in the depths of the forest, the swarthy Gerudo in Hyrule's deserts, and Hylians in the plains)to uphold the law with her rich soul.
Then, these three Goddesses ascended back to the heavens, leaving behind a Trifore in the place they vanished. This Tirforce has become the basis for Hyrule's providence and where it stood became the Sacred Realm.
In the forest of Hyrule, The Great Deku Tree served as gaurdian. The Kokiri, the children of the forest, lived with the Deku Tree. Each had his or her own fairy, except one: Link.
One morning, as Link was having a recurring nightmare in which he stood in front of a castle in a storm watching two horseback riders flee into the distance and a big man in black coming out of the castle and glaring down at Link, a voice spoke to him.
"Link! Hey, get up, the Great Deku Tree wants to see you!"
As Link opened his eyes, he saw a fairy, Navi, floating in front of him. She had been sent to summon him to the Deku tree.
"Oh Navi, thou has returned" said the Deku Tree. " Thank you, Link, for coming. Thy slumber these past moons must have been restless, and full of nightmares. A vile climate pervades this world. Verily, ye have felt it. The time has come to test thy courage. I have been cursed. I need you to dispel the curse with your wisdom and courage. Art thou prepared?"
After Link broke the curse of the tree, it spoke to him again.
"Well done, Link! I knew that ye were worthy of carrying out my wishes. A wicked man of the desert cast this dreadful curse on me. Employing his vile sorcerers energies, the evil one is searching for the Sacred Realm connected to Hyrule. For it is there that one will find the divine relic, the Triforce, that contains the essence of the gods. Whoever holds the Triforce can make their wishes come true. Thou must never allow the desert man to lay his hands on the sacred Triforce. Thou must never suffer that man to enter the Sacred Realm of legend. Link, go now to Hyrule castle. There, ye will surely meet the princess of destiny. Present this stone to the princess. I have foreseen that she will understand everything."
The Great Deku Tree gave Link the Spiritual Stone of the Forest. The Deku Tree's last words were, "The future depends upon thee, Link. Thou art courageous.
And thus began the greatest adventure of all time...
