'''Sleeping Zelda''' is a term used to describe the [[Princess Zelda]] that appears in {{TAoL}}. According to a legend passed down within [[Impa]]'s bloodline, well before the events of {{TLoZ}}, [[Hyrule]] was a prosperous land ruled by a king who had ~~two children~~, ~~an unnamed prince and~~ [[Princess Zelda]]. ~~However~~, ~~an evil~~ [~~[magician~~]~~] came to~~ the ~~Prince and told him that~~ the ~~path to true power lay with~~ the [[Triforce]]. The prince ~~gives into~~ the ~~wizard's whispers and seeks~~ the Triforce. ~~When~~ the magician ~~tells~~ the prince ~~that~~ his ~~little sister~~, ~~Zelda~~, ~~knows~~ the ~~location of~~ the ~~mystical object~~, the ~~prince demands that~~ Zelda ~~turn~~ the ~~information over to him~~.
