The Dark Wizard, '''Agahnim''', is a priest who, by unknown circumstances, was possessed by [[Ganon]] the King of Thieves. Ganon hoped that, by using Agahnim, he could break the seal that was put on him by the [[Seven Wise Men]]. Many have speculated that this is the very same seal from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''.

In the intro to ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link To the Past]]'', it is revealed that, prior to the events that transpire in the game, [[Hyrule]] was suffering from many hardships due to mysterious causes. When there seemed to be no solution, Agahnim appeared as if from nowhere displaying great mastery of the arts of magic. Using these powers, Agahnim quilled the plagues, thus returning prosperity to the kingdom. Much in his delight, the king of Hyrule, thinking Agahnim to be a descendant of the Sages, invited him into the royal household. Once established, Aghanim began his vile plan. He eliminated the good King of Hyrule, brainwashed and took control of the royal guard, and set out to gather the descendants of the Seven Wise Men, offering them each as sacrifices in order to break the seal placed on the [[Dark World]].

Agahnim is encountered twice during the course of ''A Link To the Past'', once in the ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'', and once in ''[[The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Link's_Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', when the [[Nightmare]]s take on his form. Each battle is approached in the same way. Because it is impossible to harm Agahnim directly, [[Link]] always uses his [[sword]] to reflect Agahnim's magic blasts in order to inflict damage.


==Appearances==
==Appearances==
Agahnim has only appeared on the [[Downfall Timeline]] during the [[Era of Light and Dark]]. While only one incarnation of Link has fought him, his appearances span three of the four games in which this Link has appeared.
===A Link to the Past (First Encounter)===
===A Link to the Past (First Encounter)===
The first time Link encounters Agahnim is during ''A Link To the Past'' when, after retrieving the [[Master Sword]], he is contacted telepathically by [[Princess Zelda]]'s plea for help. After going to the [[Sanctuary (A Link to the Past)|Sanctuary]] and finding the dying sage, Link returns to [[Hyrule Castle (A Link to the Past)|Hyrule Castle]], and ascends the tower, only to find Agahnim completing the sacrificial ritual. Overcome by anger Link battles Agahnim. Once Agahnim realizes he has lost, and that he is close to death, he uses the now open gate to draw Link into the Dark World, making his escape.

===Link's Awakening===
His third appearance in the series, but Link's fourth encounter with him, takes place in ''Link's Awakening'' during the final boss fight of the game. After completing his quest and entering the Wind Fish's egg, Link battles his own nightmares. In order to awaken the [[Wind Fish]], and end his own dream. The Nightmares take the forms of different enemies, notably Ganon and Agahnim from ''A Link to the Past''. The battle is almost exactly the same as the other two encounters, ending in the Nightmares simply changing form.

===Oracle of Seasons===
His fourth and final appearance, but Link's third encounter with him, takes place in ''Oracle of Seasons''. Agahnim, rather a miniboss that is believed to be Agahnim, is found in the [[Dancing Dragon Dungeon]]. The battle once again keeps the same basic structure; only this time one of four torches must be lit in order to inflict damage on Agahnim. Agahnim will replicate himself and shoot fireballs at Link. Only by having a torch lit and seeing which one has a shadow can he be damaged.
