The '''Era without a Hero''' details the events that follow the [[Adult Ending]] of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. Due to [[Link]] being sent back to relive his childhood by [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]], it caused a split in time. This split created two distinct paths in time, the [[Adult Timeline]] and the [[Child Timeline]]. Due to Link not being present on the Adult Timeline, it meant no hero was present when [[Ganon]]'s seal weakened.  

Following the defeat of the Demon King Ganon, Princess Zelda and the remaining [[Seven Sages|Sages]] seal the Evil King away.{{Ref|pg. 122|Princess Zelda seals away Ganon with the help of Link, the Hero of Time and the sages|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia|Hyrule Historia]]''}} The Princess feels bad that Link missed out on his childhood as he was kept in the [[Temple of Light]] for seven years.
