"When all was chaos, the Goddesses descended and gave order and life to the world. They granted power equally to all who dwelt in the light, and then returned to the heavens. The lands where the Goddesses descended came to be known as the Sacred Realm."

The Sacred Realm is the eternal resting place of the Triforce. After the three Golden Goddesses, Din, Nayru, and Farore, had finished creating Hyrule, they departed from their creation. The spot were the Goddesses descended became to be known as the Sacred Realm. At the center of this Golden Land there lied a sanctuary, namely, the Temple of Light. This is where the Triforce, the most powerful relic in all of Hyrule, was put to rest.

If a good heart enters the Sacred Realm, the Golden Land would be a peaceful, serene, place of beauty, and peace. However, if one's heart that was evil entered the Sacred Realm, it would become polluted, and evil would flood the lands. The only way to purge the Sacred Realm from evil, would be if one with a pure heart would have the courage to challenge the evil one. If defeated, the Golden Land would return to its prior state.

Book of Mudora Description

This game tells of a man named Ganondorf, who one day stumbled upon the gates to the Sacred Realm. He located the Triforce, and in his lust for power, he murdered his men so that he might have full control over the golden triangles. Gannondorf's wishes came true, and the evil in his heart plagued the Golden Land, corrupting the once sacred place of refuge. Gannondorf's wicked heart soon consumed him, and he turned into a dark, powerful beast, a beast named Ganon. The power he now controlled was not enough, he quickly waged a war against Hyrule, killing relentlessly, blinded by his longing for ultimate control.

The malevolent forces he fought against, the Seven Wise Men, and hundreds of brave Hylian Knights, came to the conclusion to lock Ganon away in the now Evil Realm. Though many battles were still yet to come. Ganon planned for centuries to make his return. He continued to send the Sacred Realm into complete ruin, until it was then called the Dark World. His desire, his wish, was to break the long held seal between the Dark World, and Hyrule.

It was then, that Link, was awakened with a task. After collecting the three Pendants, and gaining possession of the Master Sword, he fought the Dark Wizard Agahnim, one of Ganon's pesky follower's who served him from the Light World. Agahnim sent Link into the Dark World, believing to have trapped him there, but it was from there that Link gained knowledge of Ganon, and what he had done to the Sacred Realm, and it was from there that he learned he had the power to reverse these effects.

Ensuing the rescue of the Seven Maidens, Link battled against the Prince of Darkness, and Theives, Ganon. When Link finally killed the beast, the restoration of the Sacred Realm began. Link retrieved the Triforce, and his wish cleansed the Golden Land to what it had once been.
