In ''The Legend of Zelda'', Ganondorf was only in his pig form, Ganon. The intro of the game tells of how Ganon ''stole'' the Triforce of Power, and was rumored to be after the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] too. Before he could steal that one too, Zelda broke the Triforce of Wisdom into eight [[Triforce Shard|pieces]] and hide them inside underground labyrinths (dungeons). She then sent [[Impa]], her nursemaid, searching for a hero to collect all eight pieces and destroy Ganon. Impa comes across [[Link]], and asks him to take this quest. This begins the game.

After completing his adventures in both [[Holodrum]] and [[Labrynna]], Link finds out that the cause of [[Onox]] and [[Veran]]'s mischief was the result of a bigger plan devised by the witches [[Twinrova|Koume and Kotake]]; a plan to resurrect the evil king Ganon. The actions of Onox and Veran caused the [[Flame of Sorrow]] and the [[Flame of Destruction]] to be lit. In an attempt to light the third and final flame for their ritual, Twinrova kidnaps Princess Zelda herself to be used as a sacrifice. Although Link is able to defeat Twinrova and save Zelda from the ritual, he cannot stop the resurrection of Ganon, as Twinrova ends up sacrificing their own body as a vessel for the evil king.
