Prologue
For The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past & Four Swords on the Game Boy Advance (GBA).
Long ago, in Hyrule, a beautiful kingdom surrounded by forests and mountains... legends told of an omnipotent and omniscient Golden Power that lay hidden. It was hidden in a sacred realm beyond the reach of men, but one day... ...a doorway to that realm was suddenly opened... Hoping to claim the Golden Power as their own, the people began to quarrel and fight... Many sought to enter the hidden Golden Land... But none returned, and instead evil power began to issue forth from the dark portal... So the king commanded seven sages to seal the gate to the land of the Golden Power. Many brave knights were lost in the battle to protect the sages from the tides of evil, but the seal was cast! Evil flowed no more! And the seal would remain for all time... Or so the people hoped... But when these events were obscured by the mists of time, and became legend...
A mysterious wizard known as Agahnim appeared as from nowhere... and with strange magic powers he eliminated the good king of Hyrule...
He cast spells on the soldiers and kidnapped young maidens descended from the sages in order to break the seal...
This destiny fast approaches for the final maiden... the princess, Zelda...
