One night, a girl's voice awakens you from your sleep. She telepathically pleads. You jump out of bed not knowing whether the voice was part of a dream or reality. Upon leaving your bed, you find your uncle, who should be fast asleep at this time, preparing to go out, girded for battle. "I'll be back by morning," he says as he departs, "Don't leave the house." You watch him leave with the family sword in hand and shield on arm. This night is like no other... Who is [[Zelda]]? Where had your uncle gone and for what reason? And so, on an ill-fated night, a new chapter in the legend of Hyrule's hero begins - a new chapter in [[The Legend of Zelda]]!

The following events explained will summarize the events that occur throughout ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]''. Do be wary of spoilers.

===The Master Sword===

A sleeping [[Link]] is awakened by a telepathic message from a girl who identifies herself to be Zelda. Finding his Uncle preparing to leave the house, he tells the young protagonist to not leave the house. Ignoring his Uncle's command, Link ventures out of his house. Guided by the girl's telepathic messages, Link finds himself at Hyrule Castle. Opening a secret passageway on the side of the castle, Link finds his Uncle, defeated. He gives Link his sword and shield and teaches him about a move that has been passed down for generations - the [[Spin Attack]]. Traveling through Hyrule Castle, Link finally makes it into the dungeon, finding Zelda, who is imprisoned. The two move through the sewers, finally reaching the Sanctuary. The man there promises Link that he will keep Zelda safe, and tells Link about the evil wizard, Agahnim and his plans to use the seven maidens to gain entrance into the Golden Land. He also informs Link about the Master Sword - the sword of Evil's Bane. Unsure of how to find it, he suggests that Link should find the elder, [[Sahasrahla]]. Finding him, he tells Link to find the three pendants to prove he is worthy of wielding the Master Sword.

Finding the three pendants - and the Book of Mudora - the young protagonist makes his way to the [[Lost Woods]] where he finds the Master Sword. Fully prepared to take on Agahnim, Link receives a telepathic message from Zelda, calling for his help. Upon reaching the Sanctuary, Link comes upon the man, dying. He warns Link that Agahnim took Zelda - the Seventh Maiden - and plans to send her into the Dark World. Arriving too late, Zelda is transported to the Dark World, leaving Link alone with the mysterious Wizard. The two engage in combat, Link eventually coming on top. The defeated Wizard makes a last ditch effort and sends the young protagonist into the Dark World.
