The evil demonic King Ganon has kidnapped the Princess Zelda of Hyrule and held her captive. He put a spell on his lair so no one can get in, and the only way to get in is the three magic pieces of the triforce- Power, Wisdom, and Courage. Ganon splits these three pieces into eight shards and scattered them into the different dungeons in the land. It's up to a young boy named Link to go through the different dungeons, collect the shards, make them up into the three triforces, brake the spell, defeat Ganon with the silver arrows, and save the princess.
