Beneath a millennium-old ancient tree blooming with cherry blossoms.
A silvery-blue longsword named the Sword of Exorcism was thrust into a triangular stone staircase.
The moment Link drew the sword,
A blood moon shrouded the half sky.
Disaster had descended!
This formerly vibrant continent, known as the Hyrule Continent, was being eroded and corrupted by a monster named Ganon, and the land gradually lost its vitality.
Fires burned villages.
Countless kingdom soldiers lay dead in pools of blood.
The king had also perished in battle.
The scene shifted.
A girl with golden hair, clad in a blue long dress, appeared on the screen.
Her demeanor was noble and elegant.
She was the princess of the kingdom of Hyrule—Zelda.
Even though she was a princess, she had almost no way to confront the mighty disaster monster.
"I've done everything I could up to now… and it's all been useless…" a fragile female voice interjected into the scene.
