A Brief Bestiary of Hyrule .......... 44 2______________________________________________________ The Legends of Hyrule ---------------------To set the stage for this adventure of the legendary Hero of Hyrule, itwill be informative to delve into the Triforce myth, an ancient epicabout the creation of the world that is still believed in the land ofHyrule. Every culture has such myths and theories about the creationof their worlds, and it can be beneficial and entertaining to examinethem in detail, for they often affect the present day social structure.The legends say the mythical gods of Hyrule had as their chosenpeople the Hylia. These ancient people left scrolls that are theprimary source of the legends.----------------------- The Creation Of Hyrule -------------------------------According to the Hylian scrolls, the mythical gods descended from adistant nebula to the world and created order and life. TheGod of Power dyed the mountains red with fire and created land. TheGod of Wisdom created science and wizardry and brought order tonature. And the God of Courage, through justice and vigor, created life- the animals that crawl the land and the birds that soar in the sky.After the gods had finsihed their work, they left the world, but notbefore creating a symbol of their strength, a golden triangle known asthe Triforce. A small but powerful portion of the essence of the godswas held in this mighty artifact, which was to guide the intelligent lifeon the world of Hyrule.Although it was an inanimate object, the Triforce had the power tobestow three titles which gave the person who received them greatpowers: "The Forger of Strength", "The Keeper of Knowledge", and"The Juror of Courage". From its hiding place in the so-called GoldenLand where the Gods placed it, the Triforce beckoned people from the 3_______________________________________________________outside world to seek it in the hope that someone worthy of thesetitles would find it.With their magic infused blood, the Hylian people were endowed withpsychic powers and skill in wizardry. It was also said that their long,pointed ears enabled them to hear special messages from the gods, sothey were heldin high esteem by many people in Hyrule. Theirdescendants settled in various parts of the world and passed on theirknowledge and magical lore to all people. But in its passing, the lorewas often distorted or lost altogether.----------------------- Gates To The Golden Land -----------------------------In Hyrule, there are many Hylian buildings which are mentionedrepeatedly in the legends. These buildings, which now lie in ruin, paleshadows of their former splendor, are closely tied to the Triforce.Some were even said to house the Triforce...If it were only a symbol of the gods, the Triforce would be coveted bymany. But a verse from the Book of Mudora (a collection of Hylianlegends and lore) made the Triforce even more desirable: In a realm beyond sight, The Sky shines gold, not blue. There, the Triorce's might Makes mortal dreams come true.Many aggressively searched for the wish-granting Triforce, but no one,not even the Hylian sages, was sure of its location; the knowledgehad been lost over time. Some said the Triforce lay under the desert, 4_____________________________________________________others said it was in the cemetary in the shadow of DeathMountain, but no one ever found it. That yearning for the Triforcesoon turned to lust for power, which in turn led to the spilling ofblood. Soon the only motive left among those searching for theTriforce was pure greed.One day, quite by accident, a gate to the Golden Land of the Triforcewas opened by a gang of thieves skilled in the black arts. This landwas like no other. In the gathering twilight, the Triforce shone fromits resting place high above the world. In a long running battle, theleader of the thieves fought his way past his followers in a lust for theGolden Power. After vanquishing his own followers, the leader stoodtriumphant over the Triforce and grasped it with his blood- stainedhands. He heard a whispered voice: "If thou has a strong desire ordream, wish for it..." And in reply, the roaring laughter of the brigandleader echoed across time and space and even reached the far-off landof Hyrule. The name of this king of thieves is Ganondorf Dragmire,but he is known by his alias, Mandrag Ganon, which means Ganonof the Enchanted Thieves.------------------------- The Imprisoning War --------------------------------I do not know what Ganon wished for from the Triforce. However, intime evil power begain to flow from the Golden Land and greedy menwere drawn there to become members of Ganon's army. Black cloudspermanently darkened the sky, and many disasters beset Hyrule. Thelord of Hyrule sent for the Seven Wise Men and the Knights OfHyrule, and ordered them to seal the enterance to the Golden Land.The Triforce, being aninanimate object, cannotjudge between good and evil.Therefore, it could not knowthat Ganon's wishes wereevil; it merely granted them.Suspecting that Ganon'spower was based on theTriforce's magic, the people ofHyrule forged a swordresistant to magic whichcould repulse even powersgranted by the Triforce. Thismighty weapon became knownas the blade of evil's bane, orthe Master Sword. It was sopowerful that only one whowas pure of heart and strongof body could wield it. As theSeven Wise Men searched fora valient person to take upthe Master Sword, Ganon'sevil army swarmed from the 5_______________________________________________________tainted Golden Land into Hyrule and attacked the castle. The wisemen and the Knights Of Hyrule combined forces to wage war on thisevil horde.The Knights took the full brunt of the fierce attack, and although theyfought courageously many a brave soul was lost that day, However,their lives were not lost in vain, for they bought precious time for theSeven Wise Men to magically seal ganon in the Golden land. All ofHyrule rejoiced at the victory that upheld peace and order overGanon's evil and chaos. Thsi war, which had claimed many lives,became known as the Imprisoning War in stories told in latercenturies.------------------------ The Coming of The Wizard ----------------------------Many centuries have passed since the Imprisoning War. The land ofHyrule healed its wounds and the people lived in peace for a longtime. Memories of the vicious Imprisoning War faded over thegenerations...So it is no surprise that no one was prepared for the new disastersthat have recently struck Hyrule. Pestilence and drought,uncontrollable even by magic, revaged the land. The king of Hyrule,after counsel with his sages, ordered an investigation of theImprisoned Dark World (as the Golden land had come to be knowsn)but the wise men's seal was apparently intact. he offered rewards foranyone who could find the source of these troubles. In answer tothese summons a stranger named Agahnim came and quelled thedisasters witha previously unseen form of magic. As a reward, theking gave him a new position as chief advisor and heir to the Seven 6______________________________________________________masses proclaimed him their hero. Peace had returned to Hyrule... orhad it?Of late, rumors have traveled their whispering path with alarmingfrequency. Rumors saying Agahnim now rules the country with hismagic... Rumors of strange magical experiments in the castle tower atnight... The people of Hyrule were gripped by dread.----------------------------- Prologue ---------------------------------------One night, a girl's voice awakens you from your sleep.She telepathically pleads.You jump out of bed not knowing whether the voice was part of adream or reality. Upon leaving your bed, you find your uncle, whoshould be fast asleep at this time, preparing to go out, girded forbattle. "I'll be back by moring," he says as he departs. "Don't leave thehouse."You watch him leave with the family sword in hand and shield on arm.This night is like no other... Who is Zelda? Where had your unclegone and for what reason?And so, on an ill-fated night, a new chapter in the legend of Hyrule'shero begins- a new chapter in The Legend of Zelda! 7_____________________________________________________--------------------------------Your Quest As The Legendary Hero--------------------------------The Golden land of the Triforce hasbecoe a Dark World corrupted byGanon's evil wishes. However, this isnot enough for Ganon; he also wants tomake Hyrule, the Light World, his own.To do this, he needs to break the SealOf The Seven Wise Men.But he cannot do this with his poweralone. He must also use the life force ofthe descendants of the Seven Wise Men.With Agahnim the wizard as his pawn,this is about to become a reality (thusthe late night experiments in the castletower...). You, as the legendary Hero of Hyrule, must enter the Dark World on a quest to save the maidens that Agahnim has sent there.

You can also find heartsin some pots, and some hold arrows andbombs (note that the contents of a used potwill not be replaced until you leave thedungeon.) Also, some pots hide switchesthat open doors.----------------------------------------------* Keys and Doors----------------------------------------------If rooms are divided by a locked door, youwill need that door's key. There are twotypes of keys, small keys and big keys.Small keys can only be used once, but thebig keys can be used as many times as youlike. (The keys of one dungeon cannot beused in another dungeon).

If you learn thecapabilities of all the items and discover thebest places to use them, you will no doubtquicken the restoration of peace to Hyrule.The item names in green are items thatconsume Magical Power. -------------------------------- * Lantern [MAGIC] -------------------------------- This is the first ite you are likely to find in your adventure. The lantern lights the torches in the dungeons and brightens the dungeon rooms. It consumes Magic Power to light the torches, and they go out after a time. -------------------------------- * Boomerang -------------------------------- If you hit an enemy with this, it will be stunned for a short time (some enemies will sustain damage when hit by the boomerang). The boomerang can also retrieve distant Rupees and Hearts. -------------------------------- * Bomb -------------------------------- A bomb blast will damage enemies and knock holes in some walls, but it will also damage your character if he is too close to the blast. The bomb's fuse will burn for about two seconds, and up to two bombs can be set at a time. You can also pick up a bomb you have placed and throw it before it explodes (be careful!). 37____________________________________________________ -------------------------------- * Bottle -------------------------------- You can put many things in a bottle and keep them for use at a later point in the game. You can get up to four bottles, which are vital to your success on a long adventure. Obtain these bottles as soon as your can. -------------------------------- * Bug Collecting Net -------------------------------- There are bugs and other things hidden away in the bushes and trees. If you time it right, you can catch them with this net and store them in bottles to use later on. You should definately try to catch many things with this item. -------------------------------- * The Book of Mudora -------------------------------- The monoliths left by the Hylian people are inscribed with ancient script. If you find an inscription that you cannot read, use this book and its meaning will become clear. -------------------------------- * Bow -------------------------------- The bow is a powerful weapon that can be found in the first palace, but you need arrows to use it. Arrows sometimes appear when you defeat an enemy and sometimes they are hidden in pots. These is a rumor that somewhere in Hyrule you can obtain a silver bow and arrow of even greater strength. -------------------------------- * Mushrooms -------------------------------- These sweet tasting, strange smelling mushrooms are an ingredient for making Magical Power. You can find these while wandering in the Lost Woods. 38______________________________________________________ -------------------------------- * Magical Powder [MAGIC] -------------------------------- This Magical concoction hasu npredictable effects on certain things. Try sprinkling it on a bush to cause a strange chemical reaction. Its effect on other living things is said to be even stranger -------------------------------- * Magical Mirror -------------------------------- You can use this mirror to escape from the dark World to the Light World. The portal that is created can also be used as a gate back into the Dark World. But be warned. If the place where you reappear in the Light World is a place where you cannot normally go (such as inside a wall) you will be forced back into the Dark World. Note that the mirror will also return you to the entrance when used in the dungeon. The Magical Mirror cannot be used in a house or cave. -------------------------------- * Magic Hammer -------------------------------- Use this hammer to pound stakes and other obstacles into the ground. The magic hammer is also effective against some enemies, but it is best used in conjunction with another weapon. -------------------------------- * Hook Shot -------------------------------- This device consists of a long chain with a hook on the end. You can fling the hook into a tree, pot or treasure chest and then pull yourself to the location of the hook by reeling in the chain. This will enable you to cross holes in the ground or other such obstacles. The Hook Shot can also be used as a weapon. -------------------------------- * Shovel -------------------------------- Use this to dig holes in the ground. You cannot dig in some surfaces. You need this shovel to find the Flute. 39_____________________________________________________ ------------------------------- * Flute ------------------------------- A lonely lad will give you the Flute, which plays a beautiful but slightly sad melody. When you are granted it, be sure to fulfil the request made of you. If you have the Flute, it will make your long and difficult journey a lot easier. -------------------------------- * Ice Rod [MAGIC] -------------------------------- You can use this magic wand to launch a sub- zero blast of air which will quick freeze most enemies. Weaker enemies will be destroyed by this weapon, and even stronger enemies might become solid blocks of ice. ------------------------------- * Fire Rod [MAGIC] ------------------------------- This rod spits out a ball of fire that will sear most enemies to a crisp. Some enemies are especially vunerable to fire, so use the Fire Rod wisely. The Fire Rod can also be used like the lantern to light torches, but from a distance. ------------------------------- * Staff of Somaria [MAGIC] ------------------------------- This mystic staff creates blocks formed of pure magic power. These blocks can be thrown or pushed on to the enemy to cause damage. (Power blocks disintegrate if they touch an enemy five times.) if you strike a magic block with the Staff, it will shatter and the fragments will damage enemies nearby. You will need this Staff to get through the Turtle Rock dungeon in the Dark World. 40__________________________________________________ ------------------------------- * Staff of Byrna [MAGIC] ------------------------------- The beam from this staff surrounds and protects you from all damage. Press the Y button again to deactivate the wand. Note that this item consumes Magical Power in proportion to how long it is used. ------------------------------- * Magic Cape [MAGIC] ------------------------------- Your character will turn invisible when he wears this Magic Cape. While hidden from the enemies' view, you can attack them without taking damage. Although the cape is a useful item, it will consume Magic Power while you are using it. --------------------------- Magic Medallions ------------------------------- ------------------------------- * Bombos [MAGIC] ------------------------------- Only the Hero breaing the Master Sword can retrieve this medal. The magic of this medallion sets off explosive forces around you which engulf the enemy in flames. ------------------------------- * Ether [MAGIC] ------------------------------- The Ether Medallion charges your sword with a cold chill that freezes the surrounding enemy. The Ether MEdallion has the same effect as the Ice Rod but it works against all the enemies on the screen. ------------------------------- * Quake [MAGIC] ------------------------------- If you drive your sword into the ground when you have this medallion, the aearth will come to life and shake violently. Such an attack and the fear it creates are bound to affect the enemy. --------------------------------------------------------------- | All magic medallions consume magical force, so keep a close | | eye on your Magic Meter when you use them. | --------------------------------------------------------------- 41_______________________________________________________10.
