Imprisoning War

The is a reoccurring event in.

Following Series:'s defeat at the hands of Series: in the Series:, the Series: King steals the Series: and Series: from the Series: and Series:. He then uses the full power of the Series: to transform into the Series:. Left with no other option, the Series: seal Series: away with the completed Series: in the Series: and return a relative peace to Series:.

Because of ALttP:'s takeover of ALttP:, the knowledge of the Series:'s existence and the Series: spread throughout the Series:. People began to search for an entrance to the Series: in search of the Series:'s unlimited power. However, because ALttP:'s wicked heart transformed the ALttP: into the ALttP:, every person who found their way into it transformed into a ALttP: resembling their true nature. Because the NaN Sages were unable to locate the ALttP:, the ALttP: ordered the ALttP: to seal the ALttP: entirely.

As they prepared to do so, an army of NaN Monsters under ALttP:'s control broke forth from the ALttP:, threatening the lives of everyone in their path and beginning the ALttP:. No hero could be found to wield the ALttP:, so the NaN Knight of Hyrules were forced to give their lives to protect the ALttP: as they prayed to seal the ALttP:. Thanks to their sacrifice, the ALttP: narrowly escape their death and manage to seal the ALttP:, trapping the remaining NaN Monsters in ALttP:'s army within.

However, because most of the combatants were killed during the battle, the ALttP: began to decline. NaN Hylians began to lose touch with their ancestral powers and relationships between the ALttP: and other peoples like the NaN Zoras began to fall apart. The ALttP: also expended most of its wealth on the ALttP:, weakening its political power and economy and impoverishing its citizens. Though ALttP: was unable to return to the ALttP: during the ALttP:, he managed to set the stage for his eventual return in the ALttP:. Because of this, a prophecy is foretold of a ALttP: indicated by ALttP:'s return to ALttP:, and that a Hero descended from the NaN Knight of Hyrules would appear to defeat the ALttP:. This prophecy was recorded on the ALttP: for future generations.

The TotK: is an event that occurred some time after the founding of TotK:.

Leading up to the events in the TotK:, TotK: attempted to attack TotK: using a swarm of NaN Moldugas, but was defeated when TotK: used his TotK: to destroy the swarm. Seeing the TotK:'s power, TotK: swore fealty to TotK:. Pretending to be TotK:, TotK: assassinated TotK: and stole her TotK:.

TotK: used the TotK: to become TotK:, TotK: appoints the TotK: and gives each one a TotK: to amplify their natural abilities. However, their power is not enough to defeat him and TotK: sacrifices his life to ensure TotK: is sealed away. While TotK: knows that TotK: will eventually be freed due to TotK:'s warning about the future, he shares her trust in TotK:'s ability to defeat TotK: for good.
