There are tales long forgotten about the land of Hyrule. The tales whisper of a great power called the Triforce that was created by three Great Goddess and could grant anyone’s wish who touched. The tales whisper of great wars fought over the Triforce and the being called Ganon that sought to devour the ancient artifact and the world. Dig deeper and you’ll find tales of the hero chosen by the Goddess of Courage Farore, who fought to protect lands from Ganon, the Goddess of Power Din’s chosen one. The tales also whisper of a princess, chosen by the Goddess of Wisdom Nayru, who aided the hero in his fights against evil. Go even further back and you’ll find tales of how the man called Ganondorf became the monster Ganon and started the war of over the triforce. Go even further and you’ll find out why the names Link and Zelda are passed down and also how the eternal fight between good and evil started in Hyrule.
So many tales lost to time and memory. While the land has forgotten, those as old as I am have not. For you see us ancient ones live to preserve the past so that we may guide the future generations, praying they do not repeat the past mistakes. Sometimes success is gained and the world can move on and grow and sometimes things are repeated and progress is put on hold. Ruin and prosperity, like good and evil they change hands from day to day, month to month, year to year.
I know this pattern well for I have seen it for many, many years. It does not change and Hyrule is not excluded from this cycle…not even now when peace has reigned for years. While the Triforce has been lost to time along with the Hero and the Princess and many other ancient artifacts, there is always something else to long for.
Enter the Crystal of Wishes, a hidden artifact that is said to house the power of the Triforce. So many have sought it, but could not find it. Others have killed others to gain information on it. The vicious cycle is in play and yet there is no hero or princess to come and stop it. No, Hyrule has grown far too fast to linger in the past or try to remember. The people are focused on the future and close their eyes and ears to stories and images of the past. They don’t want to hear it. The people look at me and see a shadow of a hero no longer needed. They think they are strong alone… however, I think that they are wrong.
The Crystal of Wishes, Ganondorf reborn as lord of the tower he named after the evil beast Ganon, the gentle Zelda reborn as the mayor’s daughter, and the hero missing, but a shadow of heroes passed lingerings.
The piece have set themselves up quite nicely and just like the shadow of heroes that I am, I shall watch and wait as I’ve always done. Will I play the foe or the friend this time? I cannot say until the play has begun.
So come now Crystal of Wishes and reveal yourself. Show me if you shall bring ruin or prosperity to this land of New Hyrule.
