This army was led by Ganon, the powerful Prince of Darkness who sought to plunge the World into fear and darkness under his rule. Fearing his wicked rule, Zelda, the princess of this kingdom, split up the Triforce of Wisdom into eight fragments and hid them throughout the realm to save the last remaining Triforce from the clutches of the evil Ganon.

Many years after [[Yuga Ganon]]'s destruction in {{ALBW}}, Ganon was resurrected from unknown circumstances. With the state of [[Hyrule]] in decline, Ganon amassed a demon army and invaded [[Lesser Hyrule]] in search of the [[Triforce]]. There, he managed to steal the [[Triforce of Power]] and plotted to seize the [[Triforce of Wisdom]].<ref name="Lesser Hyrule"/> To prevent Ganon from obtaining her Triforce, [[Princess Zelda]] shattered it into eight [[Triforce Shard|Shard]]s and hid them within the eight Dungeons scattered across Lesser Hyrule and ordered [[Impa]] to seek a hero who possessed enough courage to face Ganon.<ref>{{Cite book|quote= THE CREEPING HAND OF EVIL<br>There came a day when the demon army led by the Demon King Ganon invaded Hyrule and stole away the Triforce of Power. The reigning Princess Zelda divided the Triforce of Wisdom, which was in her possession, into eight pieces, hiding them in different corners of the kingdom. She secretly ordered her nursemaid, Impa, to seek out the one with the courage to defeat the Demon King. |book= HH |publisher= |page= 106 }}</ref> Upon learning of this, Ganon then captured Princess Zelda and sent his minions after Impa.<ref>{{Cite book|quote= Ganon, angered by her actions, captured the princess and sent his followers after Impa. |book= HH |publisher= |page= 106 }}</ref> However, Ganon's efforts to stop Impa were in vain, as Link saved her. Impa shared her plight with Link, and instructed him to reclaim the pieces of the Triforce of Wisdom from the Dungeons.<ref>{{Cite book|quote= THE CHANCE MEETING OF IMPA THE NURSEMAID AND LINK THE BOY<br>Impa continued her desperate flight, but finally found herself surrounded by Ganon's underlings. Just then, a boy named Link appeared. Using his wits to throw Ganon's underlings into confusion he managed to rescue the nursemaid. Impa explained her circumstances and Link made the decision to defeat Ganon and rescue Princess Zelda. |book= HH |publisher= |page= 106 }}</ref>

Though Ganon was destroyed in {{TLoZ}}, his minions learned of a means to resurrect their master by sprinkling [[Link]]'s blood over Ganon's ashes.<ref>{{Cite book|quote= GANON'S RESURRECTION<br>It is said that Ganon can be resurrected by sacrificing Link, the one who defeated him, and sprinkling the Hero's blood over his ashes. |book= HH |publisher= |page= 107 }}</ref> To fulfill this plot, Ganon's underlings launched an assault on [[Hyrule]] in search of the hero who slew their master.<ref>{{Cite book|quote= THE DESTRUCTION OF HYRULE<br>Even after defeating Ganon, Link remained in the kingdom and lent a hand to the reconstruction efforts. However, this was all for naught, as the land of Hyrule was again laid to waste by Ganon's underlings in a plot to resurrect him. |book= HH |publisher= |page= 107 }}</ref> At this time, the symbol of the [[Triforce]] suddenly appeared on Link's hand.<ref>{{Cite book|quote= THE MARK OF THE CREST APPEARS ON LINK<br>Six years after the suppression of the Demon King, a mark resembling the crest of the royal family surfaced on the back of the left hand of Link, now sixteen years old. Link, concerned, passed on this new information to Impa. Surprised and flustered, she brought Link to the North Castle. |book= HH |publisher= |page= 108 }}</ref> Recognizing this symbol, Impa gives Link a scroll written by the late [[King of Hyrule]].<ref>{{Cite book|quote= UNRAVELING THE HISTORY OF HYRULE<br>Impa recounted to Link the story of Princess Zelda I, and entrusted him with six crystals and a scroll bearing the crest of Hyrule's royal family. |book= HH |publisher= |page= 108 }}</ref> Upon the scroll was the location of the [[Triforce of Courage]], indicating its presence within the [[Great Palace]].<ref>{{Cite book|quote= THE SCROLL OF THE ROYAL FAMILY<br>Left behind by the king of Hyrule after his passing, the scroll was handed down by Impa's line. Despite being written in a completely unfamiliar script, Link is able to read the scroll as though it speaks to him. |book= HH |publisher= |page= 108 }}</ref> Link overcomes the seven Palaces protecting the Triforce of Courage and uses its power to awaken [[Princess Zelda I]] from her eternal slumber. With the Princess revived and the Triforce now unified, Link thwarted Ganon's minions and returned peace to Hyrule.<ref>{{Cite book|quote= PEACE IN HYRULE<br>Link, having obtained the Triforce of Courage, used the Triforce's power to awaken Princess ZeldaI from her slumber. He thus prevented Ganon's resurrection and restored peace to the land of Hyrule. |book= HH |publisher= |page= 109 }}</ref>
