"Swiftly and suddenly, dark clouds covered all of Hyrule. Ominous clouds that filled all those who saw them with fear... A sense of dread swept across the land."

- Narrator

The Dark Plague refers to a major event that befell the land of Hyrule several hundred years following the events of Twilight Princess and during the events of Four Sword Adventures. It occurred when the newly-reincarnated Ganondorf stole the Trident of Power from its resting place deep within the Pyramid of the Desert of Doubt and used it to spread darkness across the kingdom, transforming himself into Ganon, the King of Darkness, in the process. This event would result in the final destruction of Vaati in the "Child" branch of the timeline and the sealing away of Ganon within the blade of the Four Sword.

Reincarnation of the Dark Lord
Some time following the events of Twilight Princess, the Hyrulean monarchy made peace with the Gerudo, the tribe to which the Dark Lord Ganondorf (who had more than once attempted to overthrow the Royal Family at different points throughout Hyrule's history) had belonged. This resulted in friendly relations being restored between the Gerudo and the rest of Hyrule, with the Gerudo going on to settle in a village at the southern border of the Desert of Doubt, located in the southwestern corner of Hyrule. Several hundred years following the events of Twilight Princess, however, Ganondorf was reincarnated amongst the Gerudo tribe once again as its sole male member, in fulfillment of the curse that the Demon King Demise had cast moments before his death ages before. Ganondorf's heart grew twisted and evil with the passing of time, and he longed for the power to dominate the entire world, just as his previous incarnation had before him.
