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. | 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 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]].

As Link learns all of this, the minions of Ganon begin to attack once again. Believing that they could revive their master by pouring the blood of Link over his ashes, they begin to spread across the land, seeking for him. Eventually, Link is able to gain the Triforce of Courage. Uniting the three Triforces, Link returns to the Northern Palace to wake the slumbering Zelda. | As Link learns all of this, the minions of Ganon begin to attack once again.
