Chapter 1: In The Beginning

Long ago when the world was yet still young, three beautiful goddesses descended upon the swirling mass known as Hyrule. Din, with her power and fire, used her strong flaming arms to cultivate and shape the land.
Farore, with her wind and courage, breathed life into the dust and created life forms to live. Nayru, with her sense of wisdom and love, created a spirit of law to which all life forms would abide and uphold.
With their labors finished, the goddesses departed to the heavens and left behind a sacred golden triangle at the point of their departure, the Triforce. Since then, the powers of the Triforce became the basis of Hyrule's providence.
Where the Triforce stood became sacred ground to all who dared to step upon its soil. Soon a wanting came into the hearts of the populace. That want soon became a need. The need very soon became a greed that ever man wanted-- especially a Gerudo King named Ganondorf.
Realizing the urgency for a protective ground for the Triforce, Rauru, a young sage and priest, built the Temple of Time as a barrier between Hyrule and the Golden Land. Using three keys to lock it-- the Key of Courage, the Key of Wisdom, and the Key of Power-- Rauru kept the Gerudo thief at bay.
Soon, Ganondorf had found two of the keys, but needed the third. Rauru, knew that the third had not been made yet, so without haste, proceeded to Kakariko Village through the blinding war that had separated Hyrule and looked for the only blacksmith in Hyrule.
