{{ | |||
{{HWNarrative|There once was a girl who lived in a small village. She led a simple life, tending to her flock of cuccos. Her name was Linkle.<br/> | |||
For as long as she could remember, Linkle had believed in her heart that she was the Hero reborn. | |||
One day, terrible news arrived at her village.<br/> | |||
Monsters had laid siege to Hyrule Castle.<br/> | |||
Linkle caught word of the monsters' attack and immediately began preparations. She dressed the part in her green tunic.<br/> | |||
Equipped with her trusty crossbows and the ancient compass her grandmother had bestowed on her, Linkle set out from the village.<br/> | |||
This treasured compass and a crude map were all she had to guide her way to Hyrule Castle. | |||
In no time at all, she found herself lost in a malevolent forest.<br/> | |||
An imp in a curious mask appeared out of nowhere and stole Linkle's precious compass.<br/> | |||
That compass, she knew, was proof of her destiny. She had to get it back!<br/> | |||
And thus began Linkle's first true trial.|[[The Girl in the Green Tunic]] loading screen narrative|Linkle's Tale|''[[Hyrule Warriors Legends]]''}} | |||
{{HWNarrative|Linkle left her village, vowing to restore peace to Hyrule.<br/> | |||
In her hand she clutched her grandmother's precious compass.<br/> | |||
But before long, a mischievious imp had stolen the treasured possession. | |||
Linkle chased down the imp and tried to retrieve the compass.<br/> | |||
And then something strange happened...<br/> | |||
As if in response to her struggle, the compass began emitting a mysterious light.<br/> | |||
It seemed to be reacting to her! Linkle recovered it, hung it from her neck, and vowed never to lose it again. | |||
The compass's light was quite a mystery to her.<br/> | |||
She didn't know what secret power it might hold.<br/> | |||
Whatever the case, it had to be a sign of her status as the legendary hero.<br/> | |||
If she could harness this power, perhaps she would fully realize her destiny and save Hyrule.<br/> | |||
Her faith renewed, Linkle continued her quest.|Narrative cutscene, end of The Girl in the Green Tunic|Linkle's Tale|''[[Hyrule Warriors Legends]]''}} | |||

{{HWNarrative|Now that Link had acquired the Master Sword, he and his companions began readying themselves for the coming war with Cia. | |||
It was during this time that Princess Zelda sensed an ominous prescence.<br/> | |||
A dark magic, its source unknown, began to flow across the land and devour everything it touched.<br/> | |||
If the flow of magic was not quickly stemmed, all light would soon be gone from the world.<br/> | |||
Believing the Palace of Twilight to be the source of this devastation, Zelda set out on her own to stop it. | |||
Midna soon noticed that the princess was gone. She rushed after Zelda toward the palace.<br/> | |||
Along the way, Midna came upon Linkle, who seemed to be utterly transfixed by an object she had found.<br/> | |||
It was a black crystal, and Midna was mesmerized by it as well. She touched the crystal. | |||
In the blink of an eye, Midna transformed from a tiny creature into a beautiful woman.<br/> | |||

Linkle was left speechless, which was just as well. There was no time to talk about Midna's amazing transformation.<br/> | |||

In doing so, perhaps she could release enough energy to contain the dark magic. | |||
This plan was not without its consquences, as Midna would return to her cursed self.<br/> | |||
Despite the cost, Midna decided without hesitation, knowing that she must save Zelda. | |||

{{HWNarrative|The dark beast Ganon had been defeated by Link and his allies. Hyrule Castle was free from the clutches of the powerful darkness.<br/> | |||
Together, Zelda and Link set out for the Temple of the Sacred Sword. There they would seal away a fragment of the evil spirit.<br/> | |||
This, surely, would bring peace back to the land. | |||
Or so they believed. But no sooner had Link and Zelda departed when a new horde of monsters approached Hyrule Castle.<br/> | |||
Ganondorf had fallen, and the monsters were left without a leader. But still, they showed no hesitation in attacking innocent Hyruleans.<br/> | |||
Without Link or Zelda, or the allies who had come to their aid from other worlds, Hyrule Castle was left quite defenseless. | |||
In order to protect the people of the land, Impa gathered together battle-weary soldiers whose wounds had not even begun to heal.<br/> | |||
This, then, would be their sacrifice for Hyrule. They fought as valiantly as they could. | |||
At that moment, a girl approached the battlefield.<br/> | |||
Linkle's journey had been plagued with false starts from the moment she left her village. But she had finally arrived at Hyrule Castle.<br/> | |||
She witnessed the brave soldiers struggling to defeat the attacking monsters.<br/> | |||
Their courage kindled her spirit, and Linkle knew that the time had come to fulfil her destiny.<br/> | |||
She gripped tightly the compass handing around her neck and readied herself to save Hyrule.<br/> | |||
Without another thought, Linkle leapt into the fray amid the hordes of screeching monsters.|[[The Other Hero]] loading screen narrative|Linkle's Tale|''[[Hyrule Warriors Legends]]''}} | |||

{{HWNarrative|Though peace was expected to return to Hyrule after Ganon's fall, something rather ominous happened instead.<br/> | |||
A new world appeared--a world of a different dimension.<br/> | |||
Impa had summoned Link to Hyrule Castle.<br/> | |||
She asked him to investigate this strange happening. Once the preparations for his adventure were complete, Link set off. | |||
He entered this strange new world. It was a vast, mysterious dimension with an unfamiliar landscape.<br/> | |||
There he met a girl who was battling monsters.<br/> | |||
Her name was Tetra.<br/> | |||
She was the leader of a gang of pirates. But she had become separated from her crew during the recent dimensional event. | |||
Though strangers, the two could agree on one thing: the monsters Tetra was battling had to be defeated.<br/> | |||
They joined forces to take on the enemy.|[[A New Disturbance]] loading screen narrative|Wind Waker|''[[Hyrule Warriors Legends]]''}} | |||
{{HWNarrative|In the new world, Link met the pirate leader, Tetra, and they fought valiantly together as allies.<br/> | |||
But it would seem their enemies were stronger and craftier than they had imagined.<br/> | |||
After claiming victory, Link looked into the sky to see an monstrous bird flying off into the distance. | |||
Squinting to get a better view, he saw that the giant bird was carrying something in its talons.<br/> | |||
Not something--someone! It was Tetra! | |||
Link had to do something, or she would be lost forever.<br/> | |||
He dashed off to save her without a second thought.|Narrative cutscene at the end of A New Disturbance|Wind Waker|''[[Hyrule Warriors Legends]]''}} | |||
{{HWNarrative|A short time before the strange happenings washed over the Kingdom of Hyrule...<br/> | |||
Lana had returned to the Valley of Seers, where she used sorcery to search for clues to the vanished Cia. | |||
It was there that a figure appeared and stole away the Triforce of Power.<br/> | |||
It took Lana by such surprise that she never had a chance to identify the thieving villain. | |||
At this point, the strange happening in Hyrule occurred, and Link was sent off to investigate.<br/> | |||
Lana sensed that a Gate of Souls had appeared in Gerudo Desert.<br/> | |||
She also sensed that she might be able to uncover new clues to Cia's disappearance, if only she visited that spot.<br/> | |||
And so Lana left behind the Valley of Seers and set off for Gerudo Desert.|[[The Search for Cia]] loading screen narrative|Wind Waker|''[[Hyrule Warriors Legends]]''}} | |||
{{HWNarrative|Lana and Link managed to rescue Tetra and close every Gate of Souls.<br/> | |||
But the change that had overtaken Hyrule seemed irreversable. | |||
Lana, Link and Tetra were all at a loss as to how to remedy the situation.<br/> | |||
Just then, when they were most in need of help, a certain legendary figure appeared before them.<br/> | |||
It was King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule, the King of Red Lions himself! | |||
In Tetra's world, King Daphnes was the ruler of the ancient kingdom that had been sealed away.<br/> | |||
By divine command, he revealed himself, hoping to save a world rocked by strife.<br/> | |||
He explained that the cause of the conflict was an evil presence in Tetra's world. | |||
Their target much clearer, the heroes knew where they had to go.<br/> | |||
They set out on their next journey, dreading the difficult battle ahead.|Narrative cutscene at the end of The Search for Cia|Wind Waker|''[[Hyrule Warriors Legends]]''}} | |||
{{HWNarrative|Link, Lana, and Tetra heeded the ancient king's advice and headed for a place of great darkness.<br/> | |||
Tetra resolved to fight alongside Link and Lana until this world had returned to normal.<br/> | |||
For she knew she could not sit idly by if someone lurking in her own world was the reason behind these strange happenings. | |||
Upon nearing their destination, the trio could feel the power of the darkness grow stronger.<br/> | |||
As the darkness enveloped her, Lana began to strongly sense Cia's presence in the land.|[[Reclaiming the Darkness]] loading screen narrative|Wind Waker|''[[Hyrule Warriors Legends]]''}} | |||
{{HWNarrative|The heroes now knew the evil one had taken the Triforce of Power. He had robbed Cia of her magic and learned of her other half, Lana.<br/> | |||
With the balance of the Triforce so shifted, there was little hope the world would return to normal.<br/> | |||
And with her magic gone, in time Cia would completely disappear.<br/> | |||
Cia used what little power she had left to seek out the one who had taken from her so much. She told Link and the others of her findings. | |||
If they could defeat the shadowy presence, they could save not only the world from danger, but Cia as well.<br/> | |||
Link and his allies held the promise of future peace in their hearts as they readied for this final, decisive battle.|[[Watchers of the Triforce]] loading screen narrative|Wind Waker|''[[Hyrule Warriors Legends]]''}} | |||
{{HWNarrative|In this way, peace returned to Hyrule.<br/> | |||
Lana and Cia bid Link and the others farewell and resumed their roles as guardians in the Valley of Seers. | |||
Power...<br/> | |||
Wisdom...<br/> | |||
Courage. | |||
Together, Lana and Cia would protect the balance of the Triforce--in peace and harmony.|Narrative cutscene, post-credits|Wind Waker|''[[Hyrule Warriors Legends]]''}} | |||
