It was written by Nintendo Dream, a magazine that's basically the Japanese version of Nintendo Power and is published by a separate company. In other words, it's not written by Nintendo itself.Link... Go now to Hyrule Castle... There, thou will surely meet the Princess of Destiny... Take this stone with you. The stone that man wanted so much, that he cast the curse on me..." — Great Deku Tree ( Ocarina of Time) According to Hyrule Historia, Zelda returned the Master Sword to the Temple of Time in the Adult Era after Ocarina of Time. [83] Hyrule Historia does not explain how the sword came to be in Hyrule Castle in The Wind Waker. The goddess feared for her people. She used her power to send both them and the Triforce into the sky on a slice of earth she cut away from the land." — Zelda ( Skyward Sword) Link thrusts the Master Sword into a pedestal in the Sealed Temple; Fi becomes forever dormant in the sword. Link and Zelda return to the present, but Impa stays in the past—in her own time—to watch over the Master Sword. Zelda and Link resolve to live on The Surface and watch over the Triforce. [47]

The events of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom take place during an era long after the events of earlier games, which have since become myths [8] and take place at the end of a timeline branch, but which timeline branch is up to the player's interpretation. [9] [186] It is impossible to tell which myths are historical fact and which are mere legends. [8] The Zonai descend from Sky Islands far above, appearing to the people of Hyrule as though gods, long before the founding of Hyrule by King Rauru and Queen Sonia. [187] It is possible that Hyrule may have been destroyed once before their founding. [188] The Founding of Hyrule by King Rauru and Queen Sonia TO THE FINDER... THE ISLE OF KOHOLINT IS BUT AN ILLUSION. HUMAN, MONSTER, SEA, SKY... A SCENE ON THE LID OF THE SLEEPER'S EYE... AWAKE THE DREAMER AND KOHOLINT WILL VANISH MUCH LIKE A BUBBLE ON A NEEDLE... CASTAWAY... YOU SHOULD KNOW THE TRUTH!" — Writing on the Wall ( Link's Awakening for Nintendo Switch) To prevent this great power from falling into the hands of the evil swarming the lands... The goddess gathered the surviving humans on an outcropping of earth. She sent it skyward, beyond the reach of the demonic hordes. Beyond even the clouds." — N/A ( Skyward Sword)Many people, including myself in the past, have said, "the Encyclopedia is written by Nintendo Dream, so it's not canon. But, the Historia was written by Nintendo, so it is canon." Basically point number one on our list of objections. But, do we really know who wrote the Hyrule Historia? The Prince of Hyrule ascends to the throne but inherits only the Triforce of Power and the Triforce of Wisdom. [131] [note 5] Abetted by a Magician, the new King questions Princess Zelda on the location of the missing Triforce. When she refuses to reveal her father's secret, the enraged Magician places her under a spell of eternal sleep. [134] [note 6] Filled with regret, the new King places the princess on the altar in North Castle. He decrees that all women born into the royal family are to be named "Zelda". The cursed princess becomes known as Princess Zelda I. [131] [note 7] Before time began, before spirits and life existed... Three golden goddesses descended upon the chaos that was Hyrule... Din, the goddess of power... Nayru, the goddess of wisdom... Farore, the goddess of courage... Din... With her strong flaming arms, she cultivated the land and created the red earth. Nayru... Poured her wisdom onto the earth and gave the spirit of law to the world. Farore... With her rich soul, produced all life forms who would uphold the law." — Great Deku Tree ( Ocarina of Time) The Fallen Hero Timeline [6] is an alternate timeline in which Ganondorf defeats the Hero of Time in battle. [84] Ganondorf takes Link's Triforce of Courage and Zelda's Triforce of Wisdom, thus gaining the power of the complete Triforce. [85] As a last resort, the Seven Sages, led by Princess Zelda, seal Ganon and the Triforce within the corrupted Sacred Realm, now the Dark World. [78] [86] [87]

In the original version of A Link to the Past, the King of Hyrule commanded seven Wise Men. [92] A Link to the Past & Four Swords retcons this text by naming them the Seven Sages instead, [93] and Encyclopedia likewise retains this naming convention. [94] Farore's rich soul created all life forms who would uphold the law." ( Ocarina of Time manual, pg. 5) Hundreds of years after Ganondorf's death, the people of Hyrule had reconciled with Ganondorf's tribe, the Gerudo, and it seemed for a while that peace would prevail in the land. However, a new Ganondorf was born to the Gerudo tribe who was the reincarnation of the King of Darkness that was defeated by the Hero Chosen by the Gods, and violated their taboo on the Ancient Pyramid. [161] He stole the Trident from the pyramid and then stole the Dark Mirror from the Temple of Darkness. [162] The mirror served as a prison for a dark tribe that, long ago, invaded the kingdom. It had the ability to reflect the evil heart of its bearer, giving birth to demonic creatures. [163] [164] [165]These events were obscured by the mists of time until a wizard known as Agahnim came to release the seal. He murdered the king of Hyrule, kidnapped six of the seven maidens who were descendants of the Seven Sages, and planned on kidnapping the last, Princess Zelda. With them, he could perform a rite that would break the seal to the Sacred Realm, but Zelda commanded a power that Agahnim had not anticipated." ( Encyclopedia, Dark Horse Books, pg. 226) It is unfortunate, that the noble Zonai no longer grace this world with their presence. All except you and your sister, that is." — Ganondorf ( Tears of the Kingdom) Stories of Ganon were passed from generation to generation in the form of legends and fairy tales. But there was also...a prophecy. "The signs of a resurrection of Calamity Ganon are clear. And the power to oppose it lies dormant beneath the ground."" — King Rhoam ( Breath of the Wild) Borrowing the name of the legend, Rauru constructed the new Temple of Time on the ruins of the Sealed Temple, and made the Master Sword a key for passage into the Sacred Realm. Since only someone worthy could pull the sword from the pedestal, it would keep those unworthy of the Triforce from entering the Sacred Realm." ( Encyclopedia, Dark Horse Books, pg. 25)

Legends speak of a mirror in which a dark tribe was sealed away long ago. I understand it's supposed to be hidden now somewhere in the Forest of Light." — Dampé ( Four Swords Adventures) Seres is a descendant of the original Seven Sages who sealed Ganon in darkness all those years ago. This Yuga you speak of, he must be after the Seven Sages of our day. He surely intends to free Ganon." — Sahasrahla ( A Link Between Worlds) Link obtained the necessary qualities of courage, power, and wisdom in the form of pendants, and deep within the Sacred Grove, he drew the Master Sword, which recognized him as the fated hero." ( Encyclopedia, Dark Horse Books, pg. 226) The Skull Kid, corrupted by Majora's Mask, aims to destroy Termina by bringing the Moon down upon it. Link has only three days to stop the apocalypse, but he is able to return to the First Day by playing the Song of Time. He ventures to the four outer regions of Termina, using transformative masks to free the Four Giants. On the Final Day, the Four Giants hold up the Moon. Link thwarts Majora, the demon inhabiting the mask. Mineru departs for the afterlife with Rauru and Sonia. Zelda swears to dedicate her life to providing eternal peace to Hyrule.Those like you... Those who share the blood of the goddess and the spirit of the hero... They are eternally bound to this curse. An incarnation of my hatred shall ever follow your kind, dooming them to wander a blood-soaked sea of darkness for all time!" — Demise ( Skyward Sword) Link meets Princess Zelda, who like Link had premonitions of Ganondorf's treachery. [68] The two plot to open the Door of Time and get to the Triforce before Ganondorf. [69] When Link opens the Door of Time and draws the Master Sword from the Pedestal of Time, he is sealed within the Chamber of Sages for seven years. He reawakens as the Hero of Time. [70] In this time, Ganondorf had entered the Sacred Realm, seized the Triforce and transformed Hyrule into a world of monsters. [71] However, the Triforce had split in three and Ganondorf retained only the Triforce of Power. [72] [73] Link gained the Triforce of Courage, [74] and Princess Zelda the Triforce of Wisdom. [75] [76] Ganondorf had used his power to take control of Hyrule Castle, and the Sacred Realm was transformed into the Evil Realm due to his evil heart. [77] [78]
