The '''Great Sea''' is the overworld of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]''. It is the largest overworld a [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Zelda'']] game has had to date. [[Hyrule]] was flooded by the [[Golden Goddesses|Goddesses]] to prevent [[Ganon|Ganondorf]] from taking over the land, and Hyrule became forgotten. [[The Sky]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'' is similar in function to this vast sea.

 

==History==

===Legend===

In the opening of the game, a story tells the tale of "The Hero of Time" sealing the evil Ganondorf away in the [[Sacred Realm]]. After doing so, the Hero of Time left Hyrule, but not before he split the [[Triforce of Courage]] into eight shards and scattered them across the land. Eventually Ganondorf escaped his prison and spread evil again, but since the Hero didn't come back, the Goddesses had to flood Hyrule in order to prevent Ganondorf from taking over. They froze him and his armies in time and flooded the place so that they could never be found. Due to this, the citizens had to flee to the mountain tops of Hyrule and start a new life there, and that's how the islands are inhabited.

===Game===

Link is born on Outset Island. In the beginning on his birthday celebration a pack of pirates arrive at the island trying to save their captain [[Tetra]]. When they arrive at the island, they force the [[Helmaroc King]] to drop Tetra into the woods, but on behalf of his master Ganondorf, Helmaroc looked for girls with pointy ears and blonde hair (trying to find [[Zelda]]) and captured [[Aryll]], Link's younger sister in the process.

After explaining the situation, Link follows the boats lead and journeys to Dragon Roost Island and [[Forest Haven]] to retrieve the [[Goddess Pearls]]. After doing so, he only needed one more pearl. He found it, and placed them all in the Goddess Statues on the [[Triangle Islands]], awakening the [[Tower of the Gods]]. When passing the trials in the Tower, the entity residing in the Tower sent him down to the forgotten land of Hyrule.  

Link found the [[Master Sword]] and unfroze every monster in the process and Ganondorf's army. Another secret was revealed, Tetra wasn't a pirate, but instead was secretly Princess Zelda and held the [[Triforce of Wisdom]]. Down in Hyrule, Link met The [[King of Hyrule]], [[Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule]] who turned out to be the King of Red Lions. Link had to retrieve the eight shards of the Triforce of Courage, and he succeeded to do so. Not only that, but he needed to awaken the [[Earth Sage]] and [[Wind Sage]] to awaken the Master Sword in the process.
