A long, long time ago the world was in age of chaos. In the middle of the chaos, in a little kingdom in the land of Hyrule, a legend was being handed down from generation to generation. The legend of the Triforce; golden triangles possessing mythical powers. One day, an evil army attacked this peaceful kingdom and stole the Triforce of Power. This army was led by Ganon, the powerful Prince of Darkness who sought to plunge the world into fear and darkness under his rule. Fearing his wicked evil, Zelda, princess of Hyrule, split up the Triforce of Wisdom into eight fragments and hid them throughout the realm to save the last remaining Triforce from the cluthes of the evil Ganon. At the same time, commanded her most trustworthy nursemaid, Impa, to secretly escape into the land and go find a man with enough courage to destroy the evil Ganon. Upon hearing this, Ganon grew very angry, imprisoned the princess, and sent out a party in search of Impa. Braving forests and mountains, Impa fled for her life from her pursuers. As she reached her limit of her energy, she found herself surrounded by Ganon's evil henchmen. Cornered! What could she do?... But wait! All was not lost. A young lad appeared. He skillfully drove off Ganon's henchmen, and saved Impa from a fate worse than death. His name was Link. During his travels, he had come across Impa and Ganon's henchmen. Impa told link the whole story of the Princess Zelda and the evil Ganon. Burning with a sense of justice, Link resolved to save Zelda, but Ganon was a powerful opponent. He held the Triforce of Power. So in order to fight off Ganon, Link had to retrieve the eight scattered fragments of the Triforce of Wisdom together to rebuild the mythical triangle. If he couldn't do this, there would be no chance Link could fight his way into Death Mountain where Ganon lived. Can Link really destroy Ganon and save Princess Zelda? Only your skill can answer that question. Good luck. Use the Triforce wisely! |

In-Game Story |
This was pretty much the only story in the actual game, apart from the above prologue found in the manual. This screen has inspired many discussions about the spelling of "Ganon" as it is spelled with two "n"s on this particular screen, but it is the only official place it has ever been spelled this way, and it was later proved to be a localization error. |
