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. | Long ago, in the Kingdom of [[Hyrule]], there appeared a Wind Sorcerer named [[Vaati]].

The villagers asked the girls how a boy so young could have saved them all and defeated the sorcerer when no one else could. The young girls told a story of how with just a wave of his sword, the boy's body shattered into four pieces, each of which then formed a complete copy of the boy. These four young boys then worked together to defeat the sorcerer. The people did not believe the story, but they called it the [[Four Sword]] nonetheless. As rumors of the blade's power to divide a person into four entities spread, the people built a shrine to protect it. | The villagers asked the girls how a boy so young could have saved them all and defeated the sorcerer when no one else could.

[[Zelda]] of the land of Hyrule was a beautiful young girl born with mysterious power to sense approaching forces of evil. For this reason, she was assigned with the sacred duty of protecting the shrine of the Four Sword and the blade itself. One day, Zelda was in Hyrule Castle when she sensed that something unusual was occurring at the Four Sword Shrine. She asked a boy named [[Link]], whom she trusted above anyone else, to accompany her to investigate the happenings at the shrine..." | [[Zelda (Four Swords)|Zelda]] of the land of Hyrule was a beautiful young girl born with mysterious power to sense approaching forces of evil.

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. | 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.
