A few years after the defeat of [[Ganon]] and the rescue of [[Princess Zelda]], [[Link]], now at the age of sixteen,<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/vc/vc_lb/vc_lb_02.html Nintendo Virtual Console: Adventure of Link]</ref> is disturbed by the appearance of a mark on the back of his hand. Upon seeing this mark, [[Impa]], the nurse of Princess Zelda, tells him the story of how, ages ago, the [[King of Hyrule (The Adventure of Link)|King of Hyrule]] had hidden a third part of the [[Triforce]], the Triforce of Courage, in the [[Great Palace]] to safeguard it from evil. | |||
Upon the death of the king, his son had searched for the missing Triforce, but its location had been imparted only to the king's daughter, [[Sleeping Zelda|Princess Zelda]]. Angered upon learning this, the [[Prince of Hyrule|Prince]] tried to use the power of a [[Magician]] to force the truth from his sister. After she refused, the wizard casted a spell upon her to put her into a deep sleep, which caused the wizard to die soon after. Only by uniting the Triforce of Courage with its counterparts, Link would be able to awake the sleeping Princess Zelda. Upon hearing this tale, Link receives from Impa [[Crystal|six crystals]] that serve as keys to open the seal on the Great Palace. | Upon the death of the king, his son had searched for the missing Triforce, but its location had been imparted only to the king's daughter, [[Sleeping Zelda|Princess Zelda]].

Both this game and [[The Legend of Zelda (Game)|the first]] are linked in continuity, since the first game revolves around retrieving two of the major fragments of the [[Triforce]], and [[Ganon]] is fought in order to rescue [[Princess Zelda]]; the second game revolves around finding the third major fragment in order to revive an incarnation of Zelda that was sleeping for a very long time, and to impede the revival of Ganon. | Both this game and [[The Legend of Zelda (Game)|the first]] are linked in continuity, since the first game revolves around retrieving two of the major fragments of the [[Triforce]], and [[Ganon]] is fought in order to rescue [[Princess Zelda]]; the second game revolves around finding the third major fragment in order to revive an incarnation of Zelda that was sleeping for a very long time, and to impede the revival of Ganon. | ||
