Based on the limitations of the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]], | Based on the limitations of the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]], ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'''s story is not exactly detailed, or even evident.

A long, long time ago the World was in an age of Chaos. In the middle of this chaos, in a little kingdom in the land of [[Hyrule]], a legend was being banded down from generation to generation, the legend of the "[[Triforce]]"; golden triangles possessing mystical powers. | A long, long time ago the World was in an age of Chaos.

You begin as Link, a young traveler who has just defeated some of Ganon's henchmen, and been informed of the imprisonment of the [[Princess Zelda]]. After obtaining a [[Wooden Sword|sword]] from an [[Old Man]] in a cave nearby, you make your way across a very wild [[Hyrule]]. There is no dialog, nor is Link given a map or any hint whatsoever as to the whereabouts of Zelda, [[Ganon]], the [[Triforce Shard]]s he has asked to collect, or any [[dungeon]]. In fact, you only meet a few people, none of which have names, and mostly only serve as shop owners. Link somehow moves from dungeon to dungeon, managing to find upgraded items, such as the [[Magical Sword]], [[Magical Boomerang]], and the [[Red Ring]] and the [[Blue Ring]]. Finally, Link makes his way into [[Level 9: Death Mountain|Death Mountain]], blowing open a hole in [[Spectacle Rock]] and proceeding to Ganon's inner sanctum. After defeating Ganon and taking back the [[Triforce of Power]], which he unrightfully stole, Zelda and Link raise up the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] and of Power (respectively) and the game cuts to credits. There is then an opportunity to replay the game in a sort of master quest, in which all the dungeons are moved around, and are harder. | You begin as Link, a young traveler who has just defeated some of Ganon's henchmen, and been informed of the imprisonment of the [[Princess Zelda]].
