Long ago, after eliminating every threat to his power, the tyrant Ganon ruled over Hyrule. He wielded all three Triforces and turned the land into lifeless earth — a mortal god who was, in the end, still mortal. When the inevitable came, Ganon died of old age and the Dark Age ended with him. Survivors rebuilt on the ruins of what he left, and some began searching the wasteland for the fortune Ganon had accumulated. Among them: a young adventurer, dreaming of something greater, willing to risk everything on the path to find it.
