[[File:The-Master-Sword.jpg|left|thumb|300px|The Master Sword from the [[A Link to the Past Nintendo Player's Guide]].]]Link arrives at Kakariko Village, but discovers the elder Sahasrahla left when Agahnim began to abduct people. Link finds information regarding his whereabouts, and heads to the Eastern Palace where he finds him in hiding. From Sahasrahla, Link learns that not just anyone can wield the Master Sword, also known as "the sword of evil's bane". He will require the three Pendants, the first of which, the Pendant Of Courage, is located within the Eastern Palace itself. Fighting his way through the palace, Link finds the Pendant of Courage and returns to Sahasrahla. He tells Link of the Knights of Hyrule, who guarded the Pendant of Courage. In the war against the evil of the golden land, most of the Knights had died. He tells Link that among the descendants of the Knights of Hyrule, a hero must appear. He tells Link to find the remaining Pendants. | [[File:The-Master-Sword.jpg|left|thumb|300px|The Master Sword from the [[A Link to the Past Nintendo Player's Guide]].]]Link arrives at Kakariko Village, but discovers the elder Sahasrahla left when Agahnim began to abduct people.

Link journeys to the edge of Hyrule to acquire the Pendant Of Power from the Desert Palace. He then scales the dangerous Death Mountain (known as Mt. Hebra in the Japanese version), where he meets a man who tells him that Agahnim must want to open the way to the Dark World where people lose their human shape. He tells him the Moon Pearl in The Tower of Hera will allow Link to keep his shape. Within the tower, at the top of the mountain, Link finds the Moon Pearl and the Pendant of Wisdom. With the goal of destroying Agahnim in sight, Link ventures into the Lost Woods to find the legendary Master Sword and put an end to Agahnim's evil. But as soon as he gets the sword, he hears Zelda telepathically calling for help before she becomes silent. He hurries to the Sanctuary where the Loyal Sage tells him the soldiers took Zelda to the castle before he dies. | [[File:Lttp-Crystal.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Link and one of the Maidens from the ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' Instruction Manual.]]Link journeys to the edge of Hyrule to acquire the Pendant Of Power from the Desert Palace.

Link enters the castle once more and confronts Agahnim, who makes Zelda vanish right before his eyes, breaking the seal of the seven sages. He claims that even the hero cannot defeat him and his tribe of evil, and then he flees. Link chases him down and defeats him in battle with the power of the Master Sword. With his final breath, he draws Link into the Dark World, arriving atop the Pyramid of Power. Sahasrahla then speaks to Link telepathically and tells him what has happened. The Dark World used to be the Golden Land before evil power transformed it. Now that the seal of the seven wise men is broken, Hyrule Castle's gate has turned into a portal to the Dark World, allowing the evil to reach the Light World. In order to stop it, Link must retrieve the Golden Power, the Triforce, and save the seven maidens, who as descendants of the wise men can help Link. | |||
[[File:Link-Battle-With-Ganon.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Link battling with Ganon from the [[Link's Awakening Nintendo Player's Guide]].]]Link journeys through the dangerous monster infested Dark World to rescue the maidens. The first one he saves in the Palace of Darkness tells him that Ganon's wish turned the Golden Land into the Dark World, and that he is trying to build his power and open a larger portal so he may attack the Light World. She also says that with the power of the seven maidens, they can break the barrior around Ganon's hideout. She tells Link where to find the other maidens. | [[File:Link-Battle-With-Ganon.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Link battling with Ganon from the [[Link's Awakening Nintendo Player's Guide]].]]Link journeys through the dangerous monster infested Dark World to rescue the maidens.

Upon finding the rest of the maidens, they tell Link many things, revealing to him that he is the legendary hero, a descendant of the Knights of Hyrule, who is to defeat Ganon. The last of the maidens to be saved is Zelda herself, who tells Link that Ganon is hiding inside his tower at the top of Death Mountain. The seven maidens use their power to break the barrier around the tower and Link enters to face Ganon once and for all. | Upon finding the rest of the maidens, they tell Link many things, revealing to him that he is the legendary hero, a descendant of the Knights of Hyrule, who is to defeat Ganon.

To Link's surprise, at the top of the tower he faces Agahnim. He taunts Link before they battle. Upon defeat, Agahnim shows his true form to be Ganon himself. He transforms into a bat and flees. Link chases him to the Pyramid of Power and jumps down within its depths to battle Ganon. Ganon tells Link he never expected him to cause such trouble, and then him and Link commence the final battle. After a grueling fight Ganon is finally defeated once and for all. | [[File:Triforce-Chamber.jpg|thumb|250px|right|The Triforce Chamber.]]To Link's surprise, at the top of the tower he faces Agahnim.

Link then speaks to the Essence of the Triforce, which was in Ganon's possession. It tells Link that now that Ganon has been defeated, the Dark World will vanish. Commanding Link to touch it, Link makes his wish upon the Triforce... | |||
With Ganon defeated and the Dark World destroyed, peace has once again returned to Hyrule. Link's wish is a mystery, but legend says it was to erase many of the deeds caused by Ganon. Link's Uncle, the Loyal Sage, and the King of Hyrule, who all had been killed are now brought back to life, and the master sword now rests once again deep in the Lost Woods. | With Ganon defeated and the Dark World destroyed, peace has once again returned to Hyrule.
