"Do not allow the thief, Gannondorf, to claim the Triforce ... " the Tree
  mystically communicates. "Oh brave one, you must take this sacred
  stone to a wise man...."

  Gannondorf was infamous throughout the land for his evil practices as
  the king of thieves. He lusted for the power of the Triforce and
  searched throughout Hyrule for its resting place, most recently plunging
  into the forest of Link's people. Link knew he was in grave danger
  should Gannondorf find him. He took the sacred stone from the Fairy
  Tree and set out for Hyrule Castle, the capital of the Hyrulian people.

  Upon entering the castle, Link is welcomed by the young Princess
  Zelda, a woman of the Hyrulian royal family about the same age as he.
  She is well aware of the crisis facing the land of Hyrule. Zelda relates
  further details about the Triforce's hiding place, telling Link that he
  needs to find the three sacred stones that fit into a magical Ocarina,
  which serves as the key to hidden realm. Link's race with the evil
  Gannondorf to find the sacred stones and the hiding place of the
  Triforce is on!
