[Zelda] -Wake up, Link.
[somber orchestral music]
[narrator] -This is the story of our hero Link,
who lost his memories and fought to save the world from the scourge of Calamity Ganon.
[lighthearted orchestral music]
[music intensifies]
[music ends]
[mysterious piano music] It began one hundred years ago in the kingdom of Hyrule.
The resurrection of Calamity Ganon was imminent.
Zelda, the princess of Hyrule.
Link, the hero chosen by the legendary sword that seals the darkness.
And four Champions from each of Hyrule's regions,
all gathered together and began preparations to put an end to the calamity.
-I'll protect this land of ours to the death!
-However, Zelda struggled to awaken her sacred powers to seal the evil.
[sinister orchestral music] Despite her efforts,
Calamity Ganon was resurrected.
-Positive. -It's awake.
Ganon!
-Boasting almighty power, Calamity Ganon began his siege.
In the end, the four Champions and the King of Hyrule perished.
Link was gravely wounded,
and the kingdom of Hyrule crumbled to ashes. [music ends]
[mystical piano music] [Zelda and Link groaning]
[music building]
-NO!
-To protect Link from certain death,
Zelda finally awakened her powers,
and was able to seal Calamity Ganon temporarily.
[wondrous choir music]
-Was, was that...
-Afterward, Link was transferred to the Shrine of Resurrection
and put into a deep slumber to heal from his injuries.
-So make haste and go!
His life is now in your hands!
[music ends]
-One hundred years have passed since.
-Wake up, Link.
[no music playing]
-Link awakened to the sound of someone's voice.
Why was he here?
What had transpired?
He had no recollection of the past,
his memories were lost to time.
[magical piano music]
[birds chirping]
Standing before Link was the kingdom of Hyrule,
forever transformed.
-The Great Calamity was merciless.
It devastated everything in its path,
lo, a century ago.
-Link met with the ghost of the King of Hyrule,
who had perished during Calamity Ganon's siege.
[gloomy orchestral music] Link also learned that for the past century,
Princess Zelda alone was containing the calamity.
-Link...
...you are our final hope.
The fate of Hyrule rests with you!
-And so, with a mission to defeat the great evil,
our hero began his journey across the vast kingdom of Hyrule.
[music ends]
[adventurous orchestral music] Link faced many dangerous foes,
undertook ancient challenges,
and befriended new allies.
And as he journeyed through Hyrule,
he gradually regained his strength.
-As you are now,
I cannot say whether you are worthy or not.
[music building]
-Once again, Link wielded the legendary Master Sword... [music ends]
[heroic orchestral music] and headed to the final battle against Calamity Ganon
to restore peace in the kingdom.
[music intensifies] [Link and Ganon yelling throughout]
[music ends]
[wondrous piano music returns] [Zelda] -But courage need not be remembered,
for it is never forgotten.
-Strengthened by Zelda's voice, Link challenged the great evil.
[Zelda] -Now, Link!
-And after a long struggle, he gained the upper hand.
Zelda cast her sacred powers
and finally succeeded in sealing Calamity Ganon for good.
[music ends]
[soft choir music]
that you would find a way to defeat Ganon.
I never lost faith in you over these many years...
[heartfelt orchestral music] Thank you, Link...
...the hero of Hyrule.
[music picks up]
May I ask...
Do you really remember me? [music intensifies]
-After one hundred years, Link and Zelda were reunited at last,
and began working together to restore Hyrule
to its former glory...
