When boys on Outset Island come of age, they are customarily dressed in green like the Hero of Time. On that island, a young boy named [[Link]] finally comes of age to wear the green of the hero. Link's younger sister [[Aryll]]'s present to Link is permission to use her telescope. With it, Link sees a [[Helmaroc King|giant bird]] fly over the island, carrying a young girl in its talons. In the bird's pursuit is a [[Tetra's Ship|pirate ship]] firing at it with a cannon. One of the projectiles causes the bird to drop the girl, who lands in a tree in the forest atop the island. Link grabs a sword and rushes off to find the girl. Her name is [[Tetra]], and Link learns that she is the captain of that band of pirates.

As Link leads Tetra back to her ship, the bird swoops down and kidnaps Aryll, mistaking her for Tetra. A [[Quill|Rito postman]] informs the stunned Link and the unsympathetic Tetra of stories of a large bird who kidnapped young girls with long ears and took them back to the cursed [[Forsaken Fortress]].<ref>{{Cite|Young girls with long ears like yours have been getting kidnapped, never to be seen again. And unless my eyes fail me, the young girl who was just kidnapped from this island also has long ears, does she not? Much like YOU do, Miss Fearsome Pirate. My point is that the bird mistook that poor girl for you, and that's why it grabbed her!|Quill|TWW}}</ref> He charges Tetra with helping young Link rescue his sister from that wicked place. Tetra reluctantly accepts, and with her help, Link is able to infiltrate the fortress and reach a cell where his sister is being kept. However, the large bird discovers him, and at the command of a sinister shadowy figure, it hurls him into the sea.

He is recovered by a talking boat, who introduces itself as the [[King of Red Lions]]. The King tells him of the story behind that shadowy figure, revealing it to be Ganon. Somehow, the seal of the gods had failed. Ganon has returned, and the world is once again in danger.<ref>{{Cite|I am the King of Red Lions. Do not fear... I am not your enemy. Link...I have been watching you since you went to the Forsaken Fortress to rescue your sister. I understand how your desire to protect your sister could give you the courage to fearlessly stand up to anything...But such a bold attempt was foolhardy! I suppose you saw him... The shadow that commands that monstrous bird...His name is...Ganon...He who obtained the power of the gods, attempted to cover the land in darkness, and was ultimately sealed away by the very power he hoped to command.

Only one who is able to overcome the trials that await in the [[Tower of the Gods]] will be permitted to wield the power to destroy the great evil. The great power is that of the Master Sword, the blade of evil’s bane that can banish Ganon from the world above. <ref>{{Cite|The key to defeating Ganon is locked away in a great power that you can wield only after much toil and hardship.|King of Red Lions|TWW}}</ref>
