1.The Story

Two years after the defeat of Ganondorf, peace and prosperity seemed to rule Hyrule. Even Link was enjoying the peaceful times. Then something happened that took the entire empire by surprise. A shadow monster from another dimension attacked. It reproduced asexually and soon there was an entire army of them. Hyrule's army went to battle with them. Unfortunantly, there was to many of the monsters and the army was overwhelmed.

Link knew he had to take action in order to stop this new threat. He went to a secret compartment in his house to get all his weapons, then took his horse on the road to Hyrule Castle. He was putting up a good fight until a new shadow beast stepped foward. It attacks Link with tremendous force, Knocking Link out, and scatering all of his weapons to different kingdoms. The only thing he has left is the Master Sword which no longer has the power to slay evil. News of similar monsters invading other kingdoms spreads fast. When Link wakes up the kingdom of Hyrule is in ruins.

Link knows what he must do. He has to slay the shadow monsters. First he has to find his weapons though. So he once again sets off on an adventure. His only choice is to destroy the shadow monsters. Failure is not an option. He then rides into the wind.
