{{quote|The goodness driven from her heart, Cia opened the Gate of Souls, summoning vast hordes of monsters to Hyrule.<br/> | |||
Ganondorf's spirit counseled that her attack must be swift and devastating if she was to be victorious.<br/> | |||
However, controlling an army would require a commander, and Cia realised she would need a powerful warrior to serve as her general.<br/> | |||
The perfect commander came readily to mind: the Dragon Knight of the Eldin Caves.<br/> | |||
If he could be made to serve, such a creature would easily be able to command her minions' obedience. | |||
</ | |||
< | Cia wasted no time.<br/> | ||
She immediately set off for the Eldin Caves in search of her new champion.|The Dragon of the Caves loading screen narrative, ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}} | |||
{{quote|Hordes of monsters began laying siege to the Kingdom of Hyrule. Princess Zelda led a valiant defence against hopeless odds.<br/> | |||
News of the Hyrulean army's imminent defeat reached the cadets at the knights' training yard.<br/>As the elite troops fell in battle, Hyrule's trainees were left to wait helplessly inside the castle walls.<br/> | |||
Despite the odds, one young knight took up his simple training sword and chose to fight. This brave young man was named Link.<br/> | |||
Compelled to act, he rushed to the monster-ridden battlefield to assist Zelda and defend Hyrule.|The Armies of Ruin loading screen narrative, ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}} | |||
{{quote|With Volga and Wizzro at the head of her army, Cia launched her invasion of Hyrule. | |||
< | En route, Wizzro offered some advice.<br/> | ||
He said their first priority should be the eradication of Hyrule's fairies.<br/> | |||
The good-hearted fairies of Hyrule were known to provide aid and comfort to their chosen warriors.<br/> | |||
Should the legendary hero appear and recieve their assistance, Cia and her forces might be hard pressed. | |||
Cia considered Wizzro's counsel, and commanded her troops to begin hunting fairies.<br/> | |||
Many fairies were captured throughout Hyrule, but a few eluded her grasp.<br/> | |||
Unbeknownst to Cia, a mysterious young woman was working with the Gorons to protect the fairies. | |||
Rather than delay her invasion further, Cia dispatched Volga and Wizzro to capture the last stragglers.|The Invasion Begins loading screen narrative, ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}} | |||
< | {{quote|After an arduous battle, Link and his comrades slew King Dodongo, but the beast was only ever intended as a distraction.<br/> | ||
The army of monsters had taken Hyrule Castle.<br/> | |||
Worse, after the dust had settled Princess Zelda was nowhere to be found.<br/> | |||
Impa and Link searched the battlefield for any sign of her, but to no avail. | |||
</ | |||
< | Although the battle had been lost, Impa forsaw Link's importance to the coming war.<br/> | ||
She bestowed upon him a green tunic--the sign of the legendary hero. | |||
Link did not believe himself worthy of the honor, but he was determined to help Impa and her remaining soldiers locate Zelda. | |||
Weeks passed. | |||
< | Impa heard a rumor that a handful of soldiers were holding out against the monsters in Faron Woods.<br/> | ||
The leader of this resistance was supposedly a young woman.<br/> | |||
Impa dared to hope that this unknown woman was Zelda.<br/> | |||
Link and Impa decided to make their way to the forest by way of the Eldin Caves, a path with its own dangers.|The Sheikah Tribesman loading screen narrative, ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}} | |||
{{quote|Link and his allies were saved from the dangers of the Eldin Caves by a mysterious youth named Sheik.<br/> | |||
Joined by their new ally, Impa's troops exited the caves and emerged in Faron Woods.<br/> | |||
</ | There they found a hidden village overrun with monsters.<br/> | ||
While Link and Impa wanted to continue their search for Zelda, they could not ignore the plight of the villagers. Without hesitation, they sprang into battle.|The Sorceress of the Woods loading screen narrative, ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}} | |||
{{quote|The leader of the resistance in Faron Woods was a young sorceress named Lana.<br/> | |||
She was of the same clan as Cia, who had summoned the monsters to Hyrule.<br/> | |||
Lana had been fighting Cia's army since it arrived.<br/> | |||
Cia now sought to complete the Triforce and use it to conquer Hyrule.<br/> | |||
Link and Impa decided to join forces with Lana to prevent further tragedy. | |||
< | Although the monsters of Faron Woods had been defeated, Cia still controlled most of Hyrule.<br/> | ||
Every day more creatures appeared and swarmed the land.<br/> | |||
Link and Impa fought on against the darkness, sorely missing Zelda's leadership.<br/> | |||
Only one solution remained--stem the tide of monsters by closing the Gate of Souls.<br/> | |||
</ | The heroes headed to the Valley of Seers to put an end to the bloodshed.|The Sorceress of the Valley loading screen narrative, ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}} | ||
{{quote|Cia had conquered the land of Hyrule in the blink of an eye and claimed pieces of the Triforce as the spoils of her victory.<br/> | |||
Intoxicated by the power of the complete Triforce, she fell further under Ganondorf's sway.<br/> | |||
At his urging, she ripped time and space open to create portals to three other era of Hyrule's storied past. | |||
Immediately, she sensed a power emanating from the Era of Twilight. She set off to discover whether it was a resource to control...or an enemy to destroy.|The Usurper King loading screen narrative, ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}} | |||
{{quote|Cia sensed another powerful and unknown entity in a separate rift in time, this one on the floating island of Skyloft.<br/> | |||
When she arrived there, she found it already beset by a vast army of monsters. But who commanded them, Cia wondered. | |||
</ | |||
< | The inhabitants of Skyloft were clearly overwhelmed. Many thought that the end of the world was at hand.<br/> | ||
Fi, a servant of the goddess, fought alongside the humans, but the beasts' advance could not be stopped.<br/> | |||
A great darkness would soon overtake Skyloft. Though Cia cared nothing for the fate of the villagers, she began formulating a plan.<br/> | |||
Whatever being had brought these creatures to Skyloft would make a powerful servant. She would need to subjugate it and make it her own. | |||
</ | |||
Launching herself into battle to defend Skyloft, Cia looked for an opportunity to weaken this dark power...and then add it to her forces.|The Demon Lord loading screen narrative, ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}} | |||
{{quote|Leading a small force of Hyrulean soldiers, Impa stepped into one of the newly opened portals.<br/> | |||
The kingdom spread out before her seemed like the Hyrule she knew, yet it was somehow very different.<br/> | |||
Before long, she realized that they had traveled back to the era of the mythical Hero of Time.<br/> | |||
</ | Awed, Impa began her search for the Gate of Souls.<br/> | ||
She sensed an evil presence on Death Mountain and set out for the ominous peak.<br/> | |||
And with her came the mysterious Sheik...|Land of Myth loading screen narrative, ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}} | |||
{{quote|At the fairy's request, Impa had fought her way to the summit of Death Mountain to rescue Princess Ruto.<br/> | |||
There she subdued the Goron chieftain, Darunia, who had temporarily lost his senses.<br/> | |||
Upon freeing Princess Ruto, however, Impa was shocked to learn the reason for the conflict between the Zora and Goron people.<br/> | |||
The ancient Water Temple was teeming with monsters that poured from the Gate of Souls.<br/> | |||
What's more, the monsters were apparently led by Princess Zelda herself! | |||
Hoping to make sense of this disturbing revelation...<br/> | |||
Impa and her newfound allies journeyed to Lake Hylia.<br/> | |||
When they arrived, they were greeted by a Zelda seemingly consumed by evil...|The Water Temple loading screen narrative, ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}} | |||
{{quote|Lana stepped through her portal and found a jarring sight.<br/> | |||
Wherever she looked, the kingdom was consumed by shadow.<br/> | |||
Though she knew of the Twilight Realm, she had never seen it firsthand. | |||
Lana's sorcery could not reveal who or what was causing the Twilight to cover Hyrule so completely.<br/> | |||
She soon came upon a small village beset by monsters. Her mission to close the Gate of Souls would have to wait...| Land of Twilight loading screen narrative, ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}} | |||
{{quote|Lana had saved an unusual girl named Agitha from the Twilight.<br/> | |||
To thank Lana for her rescue, Agitha gave her a Goddess Butterfly, an insect that could guide her wherever she wished to go.<br/> | |||
A curious Twili named Midna also joined the party for reasons of her own. | |||
The heroes followed the Goddess Butterfly, eventually arriving at the Palace of Twilight.<br/> | |||
There they met a terrible foe.<br/> | |||
It was Zant, the Usurper King of the Twilight Realm.<br/> | |||
Lana and Midna would have to overcome his unnatural powers to complete their task.|The Shadow King loading screen narrative, ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}} | |||
{{quote|Link and his troops stepped through one of the portals, appearing in an era of fantastical sights.<br/> | |||
He had heard tell of a land in the clouds, but now he could see Skyloft with his own eyes...though he was not the first new arrival.<br/> | |||
Overrun with monsters, the floating island faced imminient destruction.<br/> | |||
Though vastly outnumbered, Link did not hesitate.<br/> | |||
He and his allies leapt into the fray to save Skyloft from disaster.|Land in the Sky loading screen narrative, ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}} | |||
{{quote|Fi, a servant of the goddess Hylia, joined Link and together they drove away the Dragon Knight Volga.<br/> | |||
But despite the victory, Ghirahim managed to slip away in the chaos.<br/> | |||
Hoping to destroy Ghirahim and close the Gate of Souls, Link followed Fi's advice and hurried to the Sealed Grounds.<br/> | |||
The Hyrulean army advanced quickly in order to catch up to their quarry.<br/> | |||
And that was when Ghirahim sprang his trap.|Sealed Ambition loading screen narrative, ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}} | |||
{{quote|With the Gate of Souls closed in each era, Link and his allies were reunited.<br/> | |||
Sheik was at last revealed as Zelda, relieving much worry about her fate. | |||
Meanwhile, Ganondorf had recovered three of his four spirit fragments.<br/> | |||
He chose to leave Cia's body, her usefulness at an end.<br/> | |||
Free of Ganondorf's control but tragically corrupted, Cia resolved to make Link and the Triforce hers and hers alone.<br/> | |||
Using powerful rituals to strengthen her forces, she redoubled her attacks on Hyrule | |||
But all was not lost...<br/> | |||
Zelda directed her forces to the Temple of the Sacred Sword in search of the one thing that could save them all...|The Sacred Sword loading screen narrative, ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}} | |||
{{quote|At long last, Link took up the Master Sword and proved himself the Hero of Legend.<br/> | |||
Armed as he was with the blade of evil's bane, Link easily dispatched the newly revived Wizzro.<br/> | |||
The evil magician's parting words in their ears, Link and his allies set out to confront Cia at the Temple of Souls. | |||
With a string of victories behind them, the Hyrulean army's morale had improved remarkably.<br/> | |||
Even Link began to feel that he was invincible while the Master Sword was in his hands.<br/> | |||
Soon he was allowing overconfidence to cloud his judgment, rushing headlong into hordes of enemies.<br/> | |||
Cia had been waiting for Link to overextend himself, giving her a chance to strike. | |||
And as the two sides battled, unknown eyes watched from the shadows...|A War of Spirit loading screen narrative, ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}} | |||
{{quote|Link and his allies had defeated Wizzro, Zant and Ghirahim. Cia's hopes were fading.<br/> | |||
Meanwhile, Ganondorf was making his way to the Valley of Seers to wrest the Triforce of Power from her hands. | |||
Cia had few options remaining.<br/> | |||
Desperate to win at any cost, she tapped into her very life force to bolster her magic.<br/> | |||
Cia knew this would cost her her life, but victory was now worth any price.|Darkness Falls loading screen narrative, ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}} | |||
{{quote|Link's brashness nearly cost him his life as shadowy doubles overwhelmed him. | |||
At the last moment, Link's allies salvaged a rescue from otherwise certain defeat. | |||
The Master Sword is a mighty weapon... | |||
but its true power can be used only by someone who understands the bonds of friendship. | |||
The Hyrulean army was rallying its strength, but Cia's forces still controlled much of their homeland | |||
The only way to save Hyrule was to defeat Cia. | |||
The Hyrulean Army headed to the Valley of Seers to force a decisive battle | |||
But Cia did not sit idle, despite her overwhelming advantage. | |||
She found new ways to fortify her troops using her own life force. | |||
The cost to herself was irrelvant, so long as she crushed her enemies. | |||
The final battle between the armies of light and darkness was about to unfold.|Shining Beacon loading screen narrative, ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}} | |||
{{quote|Link and his friends defeated Cia and her legions, returning peace to Hyrule.<br/> | |||
But that peace would be short-lived.<br/> | |||
At the moment when Link drew the Master Sword from its pedestal...<br/> | |||
he had inadvertently broken the seal on the last spirit fragment's prison, setting it free to unite with the others.<br/> | |||
His spirit made whole, Ganondorf was reborn. | |||
His first act was to return to Gerudo Desert, the center of his power in Hyrule<br/> | |||
Once there, he summoned the spirits of Zant and Ghirahim from their imprisonment to serve him.<br/> | |||
Finally, Ganondorf would hold the complete Triforce in his hands and wield its full power. | |||
Knowing his enemies were approaching, he built a stronghold in Gerudo Desert for the coming battles.<br/> | |||
With Zant and Ghirahim at his side, Ganondorf was poised to conquer Hyrule.<br/> | |||
The future was bleak for the forces of light.|Ganondorf's Return loading screen narrative, ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}} | |||
{{quote|With terrifying speed, the reborn Ganondorf raised his army and fortified his position in Gerudo Desert.<br/> | |||
More powerful than ever, he moved to take the scattered pieces of the Triforce. | |||
His first target was the Triforce of Power, still in Lana's possession.<br/> | |||
Ganondorf had wielded it long ago and claimed it as his right.<br/> | |||
Regaining it would give him the might to seize the other two pieces.<br/> | |||
With this thought, Ganondorf led a massive army to the Valley of Seers. | |||
Knowing she could never defeat him, Lana fled the valley even as the Hyrulean army rushed to her aid.<br/> | |||
But Ganondorf outmaneuvered her and cut off her retreat, attacking fiercely to retake the Triforce of Power.|March of the Demon King loading screen narrative, ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}} | |||
{{quote|Ganondorf's forces defeated the Hyrulean army and wrenched the Triforce of Power from Lana's grasp.<br/> | |||
Yet, the other two pieces remained with Link and Zelda in Hyrule Castle.<br/> | |||
If Ganondorf could take the castle and complete the Triforce, Hyrule would be at his mercy.<br/> | |||
He readied his army for a siege. | |||
Meanwhile, Zelda's forces stood ready to defend their home at all costs.<br/> | |||
Link stood at the head of the army, the shining Triforce of Courage inspiring his troops.<br/> | |||
This battle would decide Hyrule's fate.<br/> | |||
Would the light endure...or would darkness spread to every corner of the land?<br/> | |||
The next moments would decide.|Battle of the Triforce loading screen narrative, ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}} | |||
{{quote|Ganondorf had assembled all three pieces of the Triforce. With its unlimited might, he summoned ever-greater hordes of monsters.<br/> | |||
Seeing the battle was won, Ganondorf vanished from sight. | |||
When Zelda learned of the Demon King's disappearance, she saw a thin ray of hope.<br/> | |||
If the remaining Hyrulean army could defeat Zant and Ghirahim in their master's absence, perhaps there was a chance.<br/> | |||
Taking the fight to the enemy's stronghold in Gerudo Desert, Zelda was determined to end the war before the day was through.|Enduring Resolve loading screen narrative, ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}} | |||
{{quote|After Zelda's triumph in Gerudo Desert...<br/> | |||
Impa's forces managed to pinpoint Ganondorf's location.<br/> | |||
He had conquered Hyrule Castle and transformed it in his own image. From this fortress, he prepared for an unspeakable ritual. | |||
Link, Zelda and all of their allies...<br/> | |||
from across the ages marched towards Ganon's Tower, ready for the final, decisive battle.<br/> | |||
If they fell, all of Hyrule would fall with them...|Liberation of the Triforce loading screen narrative, ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}} | |||
