Link gets out of bed, just as his uncle is leaving the house with sword and shield in hand. He tells him he'll be back by morning, and not to leave the house. After his uncle leaves, Link ventures outside into the stormy night making his way through the rain to the [[Hyrule Castle (A Link to the Past)|castle]]. Drawing near, Zelda informs him that there is a secret passage into the castle. Traveling down this passage, he suddenly stumbles upon his uncle who is mortally wounded. Worried that Link has gotten himself involved, he gives Link his sword and shield and tells him that he must save Zelda.

[[File:Lttp-Crystal.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Link and one of the Maidens from the ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' Instruction Manual.]]Link journeys to the edge of Hyrule to acquire the [[Pendant of Power]] from the [[Desert Palace (A Link to the Past)|Desert Palace]]. He then scales the dangerous Death Mountain (known as Mt. Hebra in the Japanese version), where he meets a man who tells him that Agahnim must want to open the way to the Dark World where people lose their human shape. He tells him the [[Moon Pearl]] in the [[Tower of Hera (A Link to the Past)|Tower of Hera]] will allow Link to keep his shape. Within the tower, at the top of the mountain, Link finds the Moon Pearl and the [[Pendant of Wisdom]]. With the goal of destroying Agahnim in sight, Link ventures into the [[Lost Woods (A Link to the Past)|Lost Woods]] to find the legendary Master Sword and put an end to Agahnim's evil. But as soon as he gets the sword, he hears Zelda telepathically calling for help before she becomes silent. He hurries to the Sanctuary where the Loyal Sage tells him the soldiers took Zelda to the castle before he dies.

Link enters the castle once more and confronts Agahnim, who makes Zelda vanish right before his eyes, breaking the seal of the seven sages. He claims that even the hero cannot defeat him and his tribe of evil, and then he flees. Link chases him down and defeats him in battle with the power of the Master Sword. With his final breath, he draws Link into the Dark World, arriving atop the [[Pyramid of Power]]. Sahasrahla then speaks to Link telepathically and tells him what has happened. The Dark World used to be the Golden Land before evil power transformed it. Now that the seal of the seven wise men is broken, Hyrule Castle's gate has turned into a portal to the Dark World, allowing the evil to reach the Light World. In order to stop it, Link must retrieve the Golden Power, the Triforce, and save the [[Seven Maidens]], who as descendants of the wise men can help Link.

Upon finding the rest of the maidens, they tell Link many things, revealing to him that he is the legendary hero, a descendant of the Knights of Hyrule, who is to defeat Ganon. The last of the maidens to be saved is Zelda herself, who tells Link that Ganon is hiding inside his tower at the top of Death Mountain. The seven maidens use their power to break the barrier around the tower and Link enters to face Ganon once and for all.
