According to legend, when monsters overran the kingdom of [[Hyrule]], the [[Minish]] granted the [[Picori Blade]] and [[Light Force]] to the [[Hero of Men]], who used them to drive off the monsters. It is revealed within ''The Minish Cap'' that the hero actually sealed the evil monsters within the Bound Chest, locking it with the sword itself. A secret part of the legend, known only to the Royal Family, explained that the Light Force was sealed within the royal line of [[Princess Zelda|princesses]].

In celebration of the victory, the kingdom held a yearly [[Picori Festival|festival]], which included a sword-fighting tournament. The winner of the tournament is allowed to touch the blade, still resting inside the Bound Chest. As ''The Minish Cap'' begins, [[Vaati]] is declared the winner of the tournament, and is shown to the Bound Chest. However, because the commonly known legend did not specify where the Light Force was hidden, Vaati believed that the relic was in fact within the Bound Chest, and shattered the Picori Blade in order to open it. However, the Bound Chest only contained the once-sealed evil, which escaped to plague the world again.
