==Prologue==

It has been the object of countless battles between the forces of light and darkness.<br/>

Each time the Triforce fell into the clutches of evil, Hyrule was plunged into misery.<br/>

The final fragment was sealed in a sacred temple built upon holy ground, imprisoned by the blade of evil's bane.|Narrative cutscene at the end of [[The Armies of Ruin]]|Prologue|''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}}

This is how it begins...

Monsters from across the ages poured through the gate, bringing ruin to the land of Hyrule once more.|Narrative cutscene at the end of [[The Sorceress of the Woods]]|Prologue|''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}}

Ganondorf's spirit counseled that her attack must be swift and devastating if she was to be victorious.<br/>

However, controlling an army would require a commander, and Cia realised she would need a powerful warrior to serve as her general.<br/>

She immediately set off for the Eldin Caves in search of her new champion.|[[The Dragon of the Caves]] loading screen narrative|Cia's Tale|''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}}

En route, Wizzro offered some advice.<br/>

Rather than delay her invasion further, Cia dispatched Volga and Wizzro to capture the last stragglers.|[[The Invasion Begins]] loading screen narrative|Cia's Tale|''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}}

News of the Hyrulean army's imminent defeat reached the cadets at the knights' training yard.<br/>As the elite troops fell in battle, Hyrule's trainees were left to wait helplessly inside the castle walls.<br/>

Despite the odds, one young knight took up his simple training sword and chose to fight. This brave young man was named Link.<br/>

Compelled to act, he rushed to the monster-ridden battlefield to assist Zelda and defend Hyrule.|[[The Armies of Ruin]] loading screen narrative|Prologue|''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}}

The army of monsters had taken Hyrule Castle.<br/>

Worse, after the dust had settled Princess Zelda was nowhere to be found.<br/>

Link and Impa decided to make their way to the forest by way of the Eldin Caves, a path with its own dangers.|[[The Sheikah Tribesman]] loading screen narrative|Prologue|''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}}

Joined by their new ally, Impa's troops exited the caves and emerged in Faron Woods.<br/>

There they found a hidden village overrun with monsters.<br/>

While Link and Impa wanted to continue their search for Zelda, they could not ignore the plight of the villagers. Without hesitation, they sprang into battle.|[[The Sorceress of the Woods]] loading screen narrative|Prologue|''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}}

For as long as she could remember, Linkle had believed in her heart that she was the Hero reborn.

And thus began Linkle's first true trial.|[[The Girl in the Green Tunic]] loading screen narrative|Linkle's Tale|''[[Hyrule Warriors Legends]]''}}

In her hand she clutched her grandmother's precious compass.<br/>

But before long, a mischievious imp had stolen the treasured possession.

Her faith renewed, Linkle continued her quest.|Narrative cutscene, end of The Girl in the Green Tunic|Linkle's Tale|''[[Hyrule Warriors Legends]]''}}

She was of the same clan as Cia, who had summoned the monsters to Hyrule.<br/>

Lana had been fighting Cia's army since it arrived.<br/>

The heroes headed to the Valley of Seers to put an end to the bloodshed.|[[The Sorceress of the Valley]] loading screen narrative|Prologue|''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}}

From Link she stole the Triforce of Courage.<br/>

The Triforce of Wisdom was the birthright of the royal family of Hyrule...<br/>

==Twilight Princess==

Intoxicated by the power of the complete Triforce, she fell further under Ganondorf's sway.<br/>

At his urging, she ripped time and space open to create portals to three other era of Hyrule's storied past.

Immediately, she sensed a power emanating from the Era of Twilight. She set off to discover whether it was a resource to control...or an enemy to destroy.|[[The Usurper King]] loading screen narrative|Cia's Tale|''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}}

Wherever she looked, the kingdom was consumed by shadow.<br/>

Though she knew of the Twilight Realm, she had never seen it firsthand.

She soon came upon a small village beset by monsters. Her mission to close the Gate of Souls would have to wait...|[[ Land of Twilight]] loading screen narrative|Twilight Princess|''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}}

To thank Lana for her rescue, Agitha gave her a Goddess Butterfly, an insect that could guide her wherever she wished to go.<br/>

A curious Twili named Midna also joined the party for reasons of her own.

==Skyward Sword==

Not long after this, Ghirahim discovered a Gate of Souls. It was in the Sealed Grounds below Skyloft.<br/>

Ghirahim knew a legendary beast was imprisoned deep within the land. He gathered a horde of monsters and plotted to awaken it.

It was Linkle. She had not yet found Hyrule Castle, but she had managed to find another battle.|[[The Demon Lord's Plan]] loading screen narrative|Linkle's Tale|''[[Hyrule Warriors Legends]]''}}

When she arrived there, she found it already beset by a vast army of monsters. But who commanded them, Cia wondered.

Launching herself into battle to defend Skyloft, Cia looked for an opportunity to weaken this dark power...and then add it to her forces.|[[The Demon Lord]] loading screen narrative|Cia's Tale|''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}}

He had heard tell of a land in the clouds, but now he could see Skyloft with his own eyes...though he was not the first new arrival.<br/>

Overrun with monsters, the floating island faced imminient destruction.<br/>

He and his allies leapt into the fray to save Skyloft from disaster.|[[Land in the Sky]] loading screen narrative|Skyward Sword|''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}}

But despite the victory, Ghirahim managed to slip away in the chaos.<br/>

Hoping to destroy Ghirahim and close the Gate of Souls, Link followed Fi's advice and hurried to the Sealed Grounds.<br/>

==Ocarina of Time==

The kingdom spread out before her seemed like the Hyrule she knew, yet it was somehow very different.<br/>

Before long, she realized that they had traveled back to the era of the mythical Hero of Time.<br/>

And with her came the mysterious Sheik...|[[Land of Myth]] loading screen narrative|Ocarina of Time|''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}}

There she subdued the Goron chieftain, Darunia, who had temporarily lost his senses.<br/>

Upon freeing Princess Ruto, however, Impa was shocked to learn the reason for the conflict between the Zora and Goron people.<br/>

When they arrived, they were greeted by a Zelda seemingly consumed by evil...|[[The Water Temple]] loading screen narrative|Ocarina of Time|''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}}

Ruto and Darunia stayed behind in order to patrol the grounds and keep vigil.

==Epilogue==

Sheik was at last revealed as Zelda, relieving much worry about her fate.

Zelda directed her forces to the Temple of the Sacred Sword in search of the one thing that could save them all...|[[The Sacred Sword]] loading screen narrative|Epilogue|''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}}

It was during this time that Princess Zelda sensed an ominous prescence.<br/>

Midna had only one thing on her mind: to rescue Zelda. She recruited Linkle to join her mission. Together, they would enter the Palace of Twilight.|[[Her True Self]] loading screen narrative|Linkle's Tale|''[[Hyrule Warriors Legends]]''}}

Yet though the battle was won, the Twilight magic continued devouring everything around it.

With renewed fire, Linkle hurried to Hyrule Castle.|Narrative cutscene, end of Her True Self|Linkle's Tale|''[[Hyrule Warriors Legends]]''}}

Armed as he was with the blade of evil's bane, Link easily dispatched the newly revived Wizzro.<br/>

The evil magician's parting words in their ears, Link and his allies set out to confront Cia at the Temple of Souls.

And as the two sides battled, unknown eyes watched from the shadows...|[[A War of Spirit]] loading screen narrative|Epilogue|''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}}

Meanwhile, Ganondorf was making his way to the Valley of Seers to wrest the Triforce of Power from her hands.

Cia knew this would cost her her life, but victory was now worth any price.|[[Darkness Falls]] loading screen narrative|Cia's Tale|''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}}

At the last moment, Link's allies salvaged a rescue from otherwise certain defeat.

The Master Sword is a mighty weapon...

==Ganondorf==

But that peace would be short-lived.<br/>

At the moment when Link drew the Master Sword from its pedestal...<br/>

The future was bleak for the forces of light.|[[Ganondorf's Return]] loading screen narrative|Ganondorf|''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}}

More powerful than ever, he moved to take the scattered pieces of the Triforce.

But Ganondorf outmaneuvered her and cut off her retreat, attacking fiercely to retake the Triforce of Power.|[[March of the Demon King]] loading screen narrative|Ganondorf|''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}}

Yet, the other two pieces remained with Link and Zelda in Hyrule Castle.<br/>

If Ganondorf could take the castle and complete the Triforce, Hyrule would be at his mercy.<br/>

==Grand Finale==

Seeing the battle was won, Ganondorf vanished from sight.

Taking the fight to the enemy's stronghold in Gerudo Desert, Zelda was determined to end the war before the day was through.|[[Enduring Resolve]] loading screen narrative|Grand Finale|''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}}

Impa's forces managed to pinpoint Ganondorf's location.<br/>

He had conquered Hyrule Castle and transformed it in his own image. From this fortress, he prepared for an unspeakable ritual.

If they fell, all of Hyrule would fall with them...|[[Liberation of the Triforce]] loading screen narrative|Grand Finale|''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'' (Wii U)}}

Together, Zelda and Link set out for the Temple of the Sacred Sword. There they would seal away a fragment of the evil spirit.<br/>

This, surely, would bring peace back to the land.

==Wind Waker==

A new world appeared--a world of a different dimension.<br/>

Impa had summoned Link to Hyrule Castle.<br/>

They joined forces to take on the enemy.|[[A New Disturbance]] loading screen narrative|Wind Waker|''[[Hyrule Warriors Legends]]''}}

But it would seem their enemies were stronger and craftier than they had imagined.<br/>

After claiming victory, Link looked into the sky to see an monstrous bird flying off into the distance.

He dashed off to save her without a second thought.|Narrative cutscene at the end of A New Disturbance|Wind Waker|''[[Hyrule Warriors Legends]]''}}

Lana had returned to the Valley of Seers, where she used sorcery to search for clues to the vanished Cia.

And so Lana left behind the Valley of Seers and set off for Gerudo Desert.|[[The Search for Cia]] loading screen narrative|Wind Waker|''[[Hyrule Warriors Legends]]''}}

But the change that had overtaken Hyrule seemed irreversable.

They set out on their next journey, dreading the difficult battle ahead.|Narrative cutscene at the end of The Search for Cia|Wind Waker|''[[Hyrule Warriors Legends]]''}}

Tetra resolved to fight alongside Link and Lana until this world had returned to normal.<br/>

For she knew she could not sit idly by if someone lurking in her own world was the reason behind these strange happenings.

As the darkness enveloped her, Lana began to strongly sense Cia's presence in the land.|[[Reclaiming the Darkness]] loading screen narrative|Wind Waker|''[[Hyrule Warriors Legends]]''}}

With the balance of the Triforce so shifted, there was little hope the world would return to normal.<br/>

And with her magic gone, in time Cia would completely disappear.<br/>

Link and his allies held the promise of future peace in their hearts as they readied for this final, decisive battle.|[[Watchers of the Triforce]] loading screen narrative|Wind Waker|''[[Hyrule Warriors Legends]]''}}

Lana and Cia bid Link and the others farewell and resumed their roles as guardians in the Valley of Seers.

Together, Lana and Cia would protect the balance of the Triforce--in peace and harmony.|Narrative cutscene, post-credits|Wind Waker|''[[Hyrule Warriors Legends]]''}}
