The Legend of Zelda: Ganon, the King of Evil, broke free from the Dark World and captured Hyrule's beloved Princess Zelda. Before she was caught, Zelda managed to shatter the Triforce of Wisdom and scatter its eight pieces throughout Hyrule. Link swore to recover the Triforce pieces and rescue Princess Zelda from Ganon's clutches.
The Adventures of Link: A mysterious sorcerer placed a curse on Princess Zelda, causing her to drift into an eternal sleep. Link discovered that the sorcerer had fled to the ancient ruin of the Great Palace, and learned that the only way to break the seal on the palace gate was to gather the shards of a Magic Crystal. Link accepted this challenge, and successfully defeated the evil magician.
A Link to the Past: An evil sorcerer named Agahnim gained control of Hyrule and used his power to free Ganon from his prison in the Dark World. After rescuing Princess Zelda from Agahnim's grasp, Link freed the descendents of the Seven Sages and strengthened the magical seals designed to keep Ganon safely locked away.
Links Awakening: During a sailing voyage, Link became hopelessly sidetracked and found himself shipwrecked on Koholint Island. While on the island, Link helped its many inhabitants by recovering the eight Instruments of the Sirens and waking the Wind Fish.
Ocarina of time/Master Quest: As a young boy, Link was tricked by Ganondorf, the King of the Gerudo Thieves. The evil human used Link to gain access to the Sacred Realm, where he placed his tainted hands on Triforce and transformed the beautiful Hylian landscape into a barren wasteland. Link was determined to fix the problems he helped to create, so with the help of Rauru he traveled through time gathering the powers of the Seven Sages. After a grueling quest, Link eventually faced Ganondorf, and watched as the wicked soul transformed into Ganon. When the battle was over, Link had successfully sealed Ganon in the Dark World.
Majora's Mask: Thrown into a parallel world by the mischievous actions of a possessed Skull Kid, Link found a land that was in grave danger. The dark power of a relic called Majora's Mask had wreaked havoc on the citizens of Termina, but their most urgent problem was a suicidal moon crashing toward the world. Link had only 72 hours to find a way to stop its descent, so he traveled through time and worked ceaselessly until he reached his goal.
Oracle of Ages: Using the legendary power of the Triforce, Link traveled to a distant land known as Labrynna. Veran, the Sorceress of Shadows, developed a scheme to alter Labrynna's past so that her evil soul could rule over the present. Through trickery and deceit, Veran harnessed the power of Nayru, the Oracle of Ages, and traveled 400 years into the past. Immediately, Labrynna's present changed dramatically, reflecting Veran's evil actions. Before the Sorceress of Shadows could complete her dark mission, Link used the Harp of Ages to travel through time and recover the eight Essences of Time.
Oracle of Seasons: After magically transporting to a vast world called Holodrum, Link witnessed a power-hungry general named Onox summon a mighty storm and kidnap the Oracle of Seasons -- a beautiful dancer named Din. Onox used Din's power to hurl the forces of nature into chaos, so it was up to Link to restore peace to the land. By collecting eight Essences of Nature, Link was able to strengthen the Maku Tree and return the seasons to a balanced state.
A Link to the Past- The Four Swords:A terrible Wind Mage named Vaati kidnapped Princess Zelda and sealed her away in his palace. Left alone, Link pulled the legendary Four Sword from its shrine and called in backup -- himself times four!
The Wind Waker: Emotions hit a fever pitch when Link witnesses his sister being snatched up by a giant bird. Embarking on an epic voyage to locate his sister, Link unravels a great mystery and learns to harness the power of the wind to propel his sailboat from island to island. In terms of the storyline, Miyamoto decided that this takes place 100 years after the events in The Ocarina of Time. He thinks that as you play through the game, you'll notice that in the beginning the storyline explains some of the events in The Ocarina of Time. You'll also find hints of things from The Ocarina of Time that exist in The Wind Waker.
