The stories of
Zelda
The Legend
of Zelda
Of how Ganon came by the
Triforce Power no tale is told. When she discovered that
Ganon had acquired a piece of the Triforce, though, Princess
Zelda broke the Triforce of Wisdom into eight pieces and hid
them. She knew a hero needed to challenge Ganon, so she sent
her nurse, Impa, to search throughout the land, even as
Zelda herself was captured.
During her quest, Impa long evaded
Ganon's reach, but in a forest glade she too fell into his
clutches and would have been carried off if not for the
heroic actions of a passing youth named Link. Once the
villains had been driven away, Impa told the young man about
Zelda's secret. Then, unable to hold back her tears , she
told him how the Princess had been taken captive.
No sooner had the youth heard the tale of Zelda's sorrow
than he pledged to defeat Ganon and rescue the Princess. He
set off at once, knowing only that he had to collect the
eight pieces of the Triforce of Wisdom. At every turn in the
path he met monsters and other evil soldiers of Ganon who
challenged him in battle.
Links first task was to find the hidden
dungeons where Zelda had secretly hidden the divided
Triforce. Many of the entrances were disguised, and
only by using all of his wits and the scraps of hints that
he picked up along the way was he able to succeed.
Inside the dungeons, he met countless enemies, for Ganon's
minions had taken hold of even the most remote
chambers.
After countless adventures, Link gathered
all eight pieces of the Triforce of Wisdom, then he scaled
Death Mountain and gained entrance to Spectacle Rock.
Ganon's great maze dwarfed any that LInk had yet
encountered. In a hidden chamber, he discovered a
magical Silver Arrow and, taking the prize, he traced his
way through the maze until he came face-to-face with Ganon
himself. The battle between youthful hero and
villainous foe raged across the chamber, unaffected by the
cuts of Link's sword. As Link began to tire, he tried
a last desperate strategy, putting the Silver Arrow to the
test. The bowstring sang and the arrow flew straight.
Ganon was destroyed!
With the defeat of Ganon, Link's mind
turned to the purpose that had driven him here-the rescue of
Princess Zelda. One chamber remained to be explored
and Link pushed ahead. Here Zelda greeted him and the
pieces of the Triforce of Power and Wisdom were
reunited.
