Link is a quiet, stoic knight in the Hyrule Guard, sworn to protect Princess Zelda and the Royal Family. Life is simple—until a cryptic warning arrives from the Gorons of Death Mountain: The Hero of Time must rise again, or Hyrule will fall. Zelda, troubled by this omen, searches legend and lore, learning of an ancient knight who once defeated Lord Ganon, the dark sorcerer who once threatened the very flow of time itself. To find the Hero reborn, Zelda holds a contest—only the true Hero of Time can pull the Master Sword from its stone. To everyone’s shock, it’s Link. With the sword in hand, Link reluctantly accepts his destiny and sets off on a dangerous journey across Hyrule. From the fire-scorched cliffs of Death Mountain to the waterlogged mysteries of Zora’s Domain, he must collect the Medallions needed to prevent Ganon’s return—led now by his descendant, Ganondorf, king of the Gerudos. In a climactic duel, Link faces Ganondorf, aided by Zelda and her guardian, Impa. With courage and wisdom united, they defeat him—just in time to delay Lord Ganon’s awakening. In the aftermath, Link bids farewell to Zelda and Impa. As the Hero of Time, he journeys to a distant, forgotten kingdom—the site where the last Hero once fell. In the final scene, Ganon’s ancient shrine trembles. A voice whispers through the wind: “Go now, Navi... find the Hero of Time... he must know the Dark Lord returns.”
