Long ago, in the Kingdom of [[Hyrule]], there appeared a Wind Sorcerer named [[Vaati]]. Vaati could bend the wind to his will and used this awful power to terrorize many villages of Hyrule. In his assaults on the villages, Vaati would kidnap any beautiful girls who caught his fancy.

Many knights from the castle and other brave men set out to subdue the sorcerer and rescue the girls, but each one fell in turn to Vaati's awesome power. Just as the people had begun to lose hope, a lone young boy traveling with little but a sword at his side appeared.

The game starts with Link and Zelda in the sanctuary of a blade known as the Four Sword that had sealed away the evil Wind Mage, Vaati. Link draws the sword, releasing Vaati, who then kidnaps Zelda. Upon drawing the sword, Link splits into four heroes in variously colored tunics, working together to save Zelda. The object of the game is to complete levels and receive the multiple silver keys from the [[Great Fairy|Fairies]] at the end of each level. Once a key is obtained from each of the three main levels, [[Vaati's Palace]] appears. Link travels through the palace and defeats Vaati, sealing the Wind Mage back into the Four Sword.
