''Soulcalibur II'' is set in Europe in 1590 AD, four years after the events of the first ''SoulCalibur'' game. Soul Edge is a pair of legendary longswords, which are highly valued and desired by warriors across the globe; unbeknownst to many, however, Soul Edge is cursed with evil power, feeding on the souls of both its wielder and any it strikes down. Soul Edge eventually came into possession of the dreaded Spanish pirate, Cervantes de Leon, who remained dormant in an abandoned Spanish port town while killing any who entered. Cervantes was eventually defeated by the Greek warrior Sophitia Alexandra and Japanese ninja Taki, destroying one of the Soul Edge blades - the remaining blade was claimed by a young German knight, Siegfried Schtauffen, after he defeated Cervantes' reanimated corpse. Soul Edge gradually possessed Siegfried over time, transforming him into a tyrant known as Nightmare.

Story

Soulcalibur 2 (Zelda Cameo).jpg

Soulcalibur II is set in Europe in 1590 AD, four years after the events of the first SoulCalibur game. Soul Edge is a legendary weapon with the ability to shapeshift into any form its wielder desires, and thus is highly treasured across the world; unbeknownst to many, however, Soul Edge is cursed with evil power, and feeds on souls - it has the ability to possess its wielder if they are unable to resist its influence, and it consumes the souls of any it kills. Soul Edge eventually came into possession of the dreaded Spanish pirate, Cervantes de Leon, who remained dormant in an abandoned Spanish port town while killing any who entered - in his hands, Soul Edge took the form of a pair of longswords. Cervantes was eventually defeated by the Greek warrior Sophitia Alexandra and Japanese ninja Taki, destroying one of the Soul Edge blades - the remaining blade was claimed by a young German knight, Siegfried Schtauffen, after he defeated Cervantes' reanimated corpse. Soul Edge gradually possessed Siegfried over time, transforming him into a tyrant known as Nightmare.

Soul Edge created the "Evil Seed", a bright column of light that brought calamity and death to all of Europe. While Nightmare and his followers sought to strengthen Soul Edge further, he was defeated by a trio of young heroes: one of the heroes, Krita-Yuga, was really the sacred blade Soul Calibur. The heroes defeated Nightmare, but both swords and Nightmare became trapped in the void. Siegfried was able to resist Soul Edge's influence and regain control of himself, setting out on a path of atonement, but every night, Soul Edge turned him back into Nightmare to take more souls. Four years later, Nightmare was able to escape from the void, and the shattered pieces of Soul Edge were found by various warriors from around the globe, their presence causing chaos and evil across the globe. Each warrior sets out on a quest to either claim Soul Edge for themselves or destroy it, while Nightmare seeks to defeat the warriors and reclaim Soul Edge.

One of the warriors who sought to destroy Soul Edge was the Hero of Time. One of Soul Edge's fragments had taken control of a magician in Hyrule, who then used his power to sow chaos and destruction across the kingdom. Link defeated the magician and returned peace to Hyrule, but learned of Soul Edge and the other pieces. Armed with the Master Sword, Hylian Shield, and the Ocarina of Time, Link travelled to the SoulCalibur world to destroy Soul Edge and prevent its resurrection.

In his ending, Link successfully seals Soul Edge away, saving both Hyrule and the SoulCalibur world. He then returns home,
