In the land of Hyrule, a young boy named Link, who was raised in a forest, embarks on a journey to explore dungeons and gather mysterious stones known as Spiritual Stones. He then meets the Princess of Hyrule, Zelda, who explains that the land could be under the threat of a dark hour. Ganondorf, the sole man born in the Gerudo tribe every hundred years, has used his malevolent powers to turn Hyrule into a land of ruin. To save the land, Link must obtain the Master Sword, which seals his spirit for seven years to become an adult. In adult form, Link must go through various temples to save the Sages in an effort to put an end to Ganondorf's wicked scheme.
