Many aggressively searched for the wish-granting Triforce, but no one, not even the Hylian sages, was sure of its location; the knowledge had been lost over time. Some said the Triforce lay under the desert, others said it was in the cemetery in the shadow of [[Death Mountain]], but no one ever found it. That yearning for the Triforce soon turned to lust for power, which in turn led to the spilling of blood. Soon the only motive left among those searching for the Triforce was pure greed. | Many aggressively searched for the wish-granting Triforce, but no one, not even the Hylian sages, was sure of its location; the knowledge had been lost over time.

One day, quite by accident, a gate to the Golden Land of the Triforce was opened by a gang of thieves skilled in the black arts. This land was like no other. In the gathering twilight, the Triforce shone from its resting place high above the world. In a long running battle, the leader of the thieves fought his way past his followers in a lust for the Golden Power. After vanquishing his own followers, the leader stood triumphant over the Triforce and grasped it with his blood-stained hands. He heard a whispered voice: "If thou has a strong desire or dream, wish for it..." And in reply, the roaring laughter of the brigand leader echoed across time and space and even reached the far-off land of Hyrule. The name of this king of thieves is [[Ganon|Ganondorf Dragmire]], but he is known by his alias, Mandrag Ganon, which means Ganon of the Enchanted Thieves. | One day, quite by accident, a gate to the Golden Land of the Triforce was opened by a gang of thieves skilled in the black arts.

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. | Link gets out of bed, just as his uncle is leaving the house with sword and shield in hand.

Making his way through the castle guarded by brainwashed [[soldier]]s, Link enters the dungeon and rescues Zelda, who leads him to a secret passage out of the castle. Leading Zelda through the dangerous sewers, Link takes her to the [[Sanctuary (A Link to the Past)|Sanctuary]] on the other end of the passage, where they meet the [[Loyal Sage]] who says he will keep Zelda safe. The Sage tells Link of the evil force behind Agahnim's magic, a force that can only be defeated with the legendary Master Sword. He tells Link to find the village elder, a descendant of the seven wise men, so he may learn more. | Making his way through the castle guarded by brainwashed [[soldier]]s, Link enters the dungeon and rescues Zelda, who leads him to a secret passage out of the castle.

[[File:Link-Battle-With-Ganon.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Link battling with Ganon from the ''[[Link's Awakening Nintendo Player's Guide]]''.]]Link journeys through the dangerous monster infested Dark World to rescue the maidens. The first one he saves in the [[Palace of Darkness]] tells him that Ganon's wish turned the Golden Land into the Dark World, and that he is trying to build his power and open a larger portal so he may attack the Light World. She also says that with the power of the seven maidens, they can break the barrier around Ganon's hideout. She tells Link where to find the other maidens. | [[File:Link-Battle-With-Ganon.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Link battling with Ganon from the ''[[Link's Awakening Nintendo Player's Guide]]''.]]Link journeys through the dangerous monster infested Dark World to rescue the maidens.

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. | 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.

[[File:Triforce-Chamber.jpg|thumb|250px|right|The Triforce Chamber.]]To Link's surprise, at the top of the tower he faces Agahnim. He taunts Link before they battle. Upon defeat, Agahnim shows his true form to be Ganon himself. He transforms into a bat and flees. Link chases him to the Pyramid of Power and jumps down within its depths to battle Ganon. Ganon tells Link he never expected him to cause such trouble, and then he and Link commence the final battle. After a grueling fight Ganon is finally defeated once and for all. | [[File:Triforce-Chamber.jpg|thumb|250px|right|The Triforce Chamber.]]To Link's surprise, at the top of the tower he faces Agahnim.

With Ganon defeated and the Dark World destroyed, peace has once again returned to Hyrule. Link's wish is a mystery, but it was likely to erase many of the deeds caused by Ganon. Link's Uncle, the Loyal Sage, and the King of Hyrule, who all had been killed are now brought back to life, and the master sword now rests once again deep in the Lost Woods. | With Ganon defeated and the Dark World destroyed, peace has once again returned to Hyrule.
