Link, a young boy, grows up among the forest-dwelling Kokiri, until the day a fairy named Navi brings him before their guardian spirit, the Great Deku Tree. The tree has fallen under a mysterious man's curse, and Link is dispatched to Hyrule Castle to learn the cause. There, Princess Zelda warns that Ganondorf, chieftain of the Gerudo, is bent on claiming the Triforce — a sacred relic that grants boundless power to whoever holds it. To save Hyrule, Link must lay hands on the Triforce before Ganondorf does.
