Prologue
A long, long time ago...

when the world was on the verge of swallowed by shadow...

The tiny Picori appeared from the sky, bringing the hero of men a sword and a golden light.

With wisdom and courage, the hero drove out the darkness.

When peace had been restored, the people enshrined that blade with care.

Ending
Link arrives in time to stop Vaati from finishing his ceremony, but he has drained enough of the Light Force from Zelda to still transform himself. Link defeats Vaati, who appears to explode. Using the full power of the Four Sword, Link breaks the curse on Zelda, returning her to flesh. As the castle collapses, the three head back to the Elemental Sanctuary, where Vaati has appeared in yet another form. Despite Vaati's power, Link defeats him and he exploded again, returning the Mage's Cap. The curse on Ezlo is broken and he explains how his cap can restore Hyrule and its people. Zelda, who has a pure heart, can use the cap to fix for the damage Vaati has done, break the curse on her people, and cause the monsters to vanish. After, Ezlo returns to his world and the door to the Minish closes.

The ending does not show Vaati being sealed within the Four Sword, nor the sword being returned to the Elemental Sanctuary. It is possible that Vaati is currently held within the sword. Once realized the Elemental Sanctuary is moved and the Four Sword stored inside it later.

Prologue
Long ago, in the kingdom of Hyrule, a wind sorcerer named Vaati appeared.

Vaati terrorized the people of Hyrule and kidnapped many beautiful girls from their homes.

When all hope seemed lost, a young boy carrying little more than a sword appeared.

According to the legends, when the boy drew his sword, he split into four, the four-who-are-one worked together to vanquish Vaati.

The hero used his sword to bind Vaati in a remote area of Hyrule, The people christened the blade the Four Sword and built a shrine around it. There it remained undisturbed for many years.

Ages flowed by...

The wind sorcerer Vaati broke free of his prison and kidnapped Zelda, the princess of Hyrule.

Princess Zelda's childhood friend Link used the power of the Four Sword to defeat Vaati and seal him away once again.

And, for a time, the people of Hyrule believed that their land was safe.

Until...

The prologue describes two separate times that Vaati terrorized Hyrule and abducted girls. The first five paragraphs are likely a retelling (and mis-telling) of The Minish Cap. Although they could be a time that Vaati escaped the Four Sword and kidnapped girls, also mentioned in the Four Swords story. The seventh and eight paragraph are definitely referring to the story of Four Swords. It is also hinted at that the Link of this game is the same childhood friend who drew the Four Sword the last time. If so, Four Swords is immediately followed by Four Sword Adventures. Check to see if the maps have any similar locations.

The Opening Scene
After dark clouds cover Hyrule, Zelda telepathically calls her friend Link to Hyrule Castle. She is worried about the seal that binds Vaati and has already gathered the six maidens "who guard Hyrule." They are colored blue, yellow, green, white (appears teal), red, and purple.

"These six maidens guard the portal to the Four Sword Sanctuary to keep it safe. I'm going now to make sure Vaati's seal remains strong. Now, the shrine maidens and I must open the portal to the Four Sword's resting place."

A shadowy Dark Link leaps from the portal and seals the six maidens and Zelda in dark crystals. He and the crystals enter the portal, closely followed by Link. The Four Sword Sanctuary appears to be in a different realm covered in shadows. Antagonized by the doppelganger, Link chooses to draw the Four Sword, splitting into four heroes and releasing Vaati. It is heavily implied that the entire Four Sword Sanctuary is in another realm (the dark realm?). It is the exact same location as the Four Sword Shrine from Four Swords, but at that time, the shrine did not appear to be in another realm.

Link...

You have accepted the destiny of the hero...

Princess Zelda and the six maidens have been taken by dark forces.

However, Vaati's magic has robbed the Four Sword of its power to vanquish darkness.

To return the sword to its full strength, find the source of that power: Force Gems.

Gather Force Gems wherever they lie, and rescue the maidens and Princess Zelda.
