On a dark and stormy night, Link is awakened by a telepathic message from the Princess Zelda, imprisoned in her own castle by the evil wizard Agahnim, usurper of the throne of the Kingdom of Hyrule. Disobeying his uncle's orders, Link heads off into the night to help rescue Zelda. Once safe, Zelda reveals to Link Agahnim's sinister plan: using the Triforce, Agahnim will liberate the dark wizard Ganon from his exile in the Dark World. And so begins the journey. Link sets out to find the Master Sword, the only weapon powerful enough to stop Agahnim, protect the Triforce, and save the Kingdom of Hyrule.
Trivia
Religious undertones present in the original Japanese version were censored for North America. The original subtitle was changed from Triforce of the Gods, while the evil priest Agahnim became the evil wizard Agahnim, sent to the Earth by the cosmos instead of the gods.
