The '''Shadow Era''' is an event that takes place centuries after the defeat of [[Ganon|Ganondorf]] in the [[Twilight Era]], that occurred within ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. The following events take place before and throughout the majority ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]''. This event Era describes the reincarnation of the Evil King Ganondorf and his attempt to cover [[Hyrule]] in darkness.  

Centuries after the initial death of Ganondorf in the Twilight Era, peace had once again returned to the Kingdom. The relationship between the [[Gerudo]] tribe and the rest of Hyrule grew strong, in contrast to previous conflicts. However, a new male was to be born among the race, as was the the hundred year tradition within the tribe. This was the second coming of Ganondorf, and he deified the new ways of the tribe. The Evil King sought after a powerful relic known as the [[Trident]]. This sacred power was hidden within the [[Ancient Pyramid]], in which Ganondorf gained entry to. After gaining the Trident, Ganondorf obtained the [[Dark Mirror]] from the [[Temple of Darkness]] and proceeded to bring darkness to Hyrule. Within his devilish plot, Ganondorf attempted to revive the Wind Mage [[Vaati]] and created a dark version of [[Link]], known as [[Shadow Link]].  

The ancient sword allowed Link to split into four separate bodys. Ganondorf sought to corrupt the [[Knights of Hyrule]], turning them into monsters. After rescuing the Six Maidens and obtaining all of the Royal Jewels, Link enters the [[Tower of Winds (Four Swords Adventures)|Tower of Winds]], which later leads onto the [[Realm of the Heavens (Level)|Realm of the Heavens]]. Link finds the Dark Mirror and Princess Zelda aids Link in gaining access to the [[Palace of Winds (Four Swords Adventures)|Palace of Winds]], Vaati's lair . Link defeats Vaati and the Palace begins to collapse, it's at this moment that Ganondorf appears before Link. Aided by Princess Zelda, Link is able to defeat Ganondorf and seal him and Vaati within the Four Sword. With peace restored to the Kingdom, Link returns to [[Hyrule Castle]] to a celebration in which he is labelled as a hero.
