Ever since Ganon was defeated by the hands of The Hero, each generation of Hyrule's kings used the Triforce to preserve order in the land. One king who had used the power of the Triforce was worried that it would be put to misuse after his death. In avoid this, he hid the Triforce of Courage, placing a spell over the land of Hyrule. His magic made it so that a crest would appear upon a person deemed worthy enough to wield the Triforce of Courage. Though the Prince and Princess were heirs, the king had doubts about his son, and seeing more promise in his daughter, Zelda, passed the Triforce to her in secret. | |||
When the king passes away, the Prince becomes king. But with no crest upon his hand, the power of the Triforce he inherited was not complete. The new king was advised by his confidant, a wizard, that Princess Zelda seemed to know what was behind these events. Despite being interrogated by her brother and the wizard, Zelda tells nothing. The wizard finally lost his temper and threatened to cast a spell that would make her sleep for all eternity, but Zelda still refused. The wizard cast the spell and Zelda collapsed where she had stood. | |||
Regretting what he had done and taken by sadness, the young king placed Princess Zelda in an altar in the North Castle, hoping someday she would be revived. To make sure this tragedy would never be forgotten, a custom was established that made it so every girl born into Hyrule's royal family would be named "Zelda." This story became the legend of the first Princess Zelda. The king reformed and continued to rule the land to the best of his ability, but the kingdom fell into decline. | |||
No one appeared who was able to use the Triforce, and Hyrule continued to shrink. It continued until Hyrule was a single, small kingdom. Though the Triforce of Wisdom was handed down generation to the next, the memory of the Triforce of Courage and the Tragedy of Princess Zelda I was lost. | |||
