Trying to work your way through this guide can be a nightmare. But, you may
have noticed that I "accidentally" placed asterisks (*) after the titles of
sections. This serves more than decorative purposes, however. If you press
CTRL + F, or Apple + F if you have a Mac, a search will be activated. Type in
the name of the section including the asterisk and search for it. First you'll
be taken to the Table of Contents and then to the name of that section. It's a
real lifesaver when it comes to navigating through this guide. This works on
all documents, not just this one, so feel free to use it everywhere.

================================================================================
The plot of this game wouldn't be so bad if the words weren't grouped with the
most idiotic pictures imaginable. This is the first game in the series to take
a stab at an in-depth storyline. I'' summarize it for you so you won't have to
look at the pictures or read the trying-to-be-dramatic words. They still haunt
my dreams.

| Story Summary |
+---------------------+
Ganon, an evil thief from the desert that Link killed in The Legend of Zelda
(first game) is dead, but his armies still roam Hyrule causing havoc. Link, who
is now sixteen, has seen that his hand had been marked with a strange symbol, a
golden triangle. Wondering what it meant, Link saw Impa in the North Palace of
Hyrule. When Impa saw it she took link to a door that would only yield to he
who had the mark on his hand. Within was a scroll that no one could read, save
Link. Link deciphered it and it turned out that Link was destined to awaken the
sleeping princess Zelda. Hers is a story of plight...
Long ago when Hyrule was one nation (in present day Hyrule many tribes and races
exist) a just king ruled with the Triforce, the golden power. When he passed on
he gave two pieces of the Triforce to his offspring, and hid the third for no
one in the land was worthy of it. The prince of the time was jealous of Zelda,
the princess. He had received the part of Power and Zelda Wisdom. He demanded
that Zelda tell him where the third piece of the Triforce was and to give him
hers so that he could govern with the complete Triforce, but she refused him.
So the prince hired a wizard, a Wizzrobe by the looks of the picture, to extract
the shard of the Triforce from her.
Ordain
The wizard went too far, for in making false threats the prince had ordained the
death of his sister in the presence of the wizard. The wizard cast a spell on
her and she would sleep forever there. It became customary after that that
every girl born into the royal family be named Zelda in memory of the
unnaturally slumbering princess. The prince killed the wizard and there was
nothing anyone could do.
So the Triforce of Power and Wisdom were passed on through the generations until
one day (somehow the Triforce became complete. This contradicts lots of other
games' storylines, and so we must assume that the Triforce parts were united
somehow) a thief named Ganon found the golden power in the Sacred Realm where
the Seven Sages had hidden it. When Ganon touched the Triforce, hoping to have
his deepest, darkest desires fulfilled, it separated into its three parts and
spread across Hyrule as it had in the past.
Ganon remained the holder of the Triforce of Power, Zelda (the present day
Zelda)
kept Wisdom, and Courage was probably sent back to its hiding place in Hyrule.
This is not all of what the scroll said; it excludes all that happened in the
future, because obviously it was written in the past. I just added background
info from other games, mostly A Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time. So, Impa
said that the sign was a mark that he was destined to take up the Triforce of
Courage, which could undoubtedly awaken the sleeping princess Zelda with its
awesome power. The scroll also disclosed another valuable clue.
The piece of the Triforce is hidden in a great palace that will open only to he
who has defeated the guardians of the palace. It looks like Link stumbled into
another adventure. So, it is time to wake up sleeping beauty. By the way, when
Link killed Ganon only ashes remained. If Link's blood is spilt upon the ashes
then Ganon will be revived by some magic. So, every time you die in the game it
says "The Return of Ganon".

| The Triforce |

Now, a note for those who haven't played recent Zelda games concerning the
Triforce. These are my definitions, designed to appeal to the reader.
Definition for mathematicians: The Triforce is an equilateral (and thus
equiangular) triangle. Let us name the vertices A, B, and C. The midpoints of
segments AB, AC, and BC shall be named D, E, and F, respectively. Also, I
apologize for incorrect notation - I can't make the segment symbol due to
keyboard limitations. Anyways, segment DE, DF, and EF are congruent and divide
the interior of triangle ABC into four equilateral triangles, all of whose
angles are, of course, 60 degrees. DEF is black in color and the other three
triangles are gold in color.
Definition for everyone else: The Triforce is the essence of the gods, left by
the goddesses Din, Nayru, and Farore when they created the earth and its
inhabitants. The Triforce is therefore the ultimate power and is much sought
after. The Triforce is best compared to a scale that measures your soul. If
you believe in all virtues equally you shall receive the Triforce in its
complete form and the wish that results will reflect your deepest desire. If
