Posted through Nintendo of America's Twitter account, an image was shown to confirm it. It has been revealed by Nintendo that A Link Between Worlds' placement on the Zelda timeline occurs after the events of Link's Awakening in the "failure" timeline, where the Hero of Time falls in battle. Link then found the Triforce that Ganon won over the Hero of Time many years ago, and used its powers to bring back peace to Hyrule and to return his uncle's and the King's lives. Link and Ganon faced off in a battle in which Link emerged victorious. Ganon then fled to the Pyramid of Power, with Link not too far behind. But Ganon, the King of Evil, rose from Agahnim's ashes.Īgahnim was then revealed to be Ganon's alter ego. Once there, Link saved the maidens and was able to defeat Agahnim for good. Link then defeated the evil wizard, but Agahnim used the last of his powers to send Link to the Dark World. Link then rushed to the Castle and faced Agahnim, but not before seeing Zelda being sent to the Dark World. He told Link that the knights took Zelda to Hyrule Castle. Link rushed there, but only found the priest dying on the floor. Link succeeded but was then told telepathically that Zelda was attacked at the sanctuary. He found Sahasrahla, and was then sent to find 3 Pendants of Virtue in order to retrieve the Master Sword in the Lost Woods. The priest in the sanctuary instructed Link to find a man named Sahasrahla. Link reached Zelda and escorted her to a sanctuary where she would be safe. He gave Link his sword and shield and told him he was the heir to the Knights of Hyrule. Link then headed to the dungeon in Hyrule Castle and found his uncle dying. As Link awoke, he saw his uncle, armed with a sword and shield, leaving the house. Zelda then contacted Link telepathically to come to Hyrule Castle. The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds ( 2, Zeruda no Densetsu: Kamigami no Toraifsu Ts, lit.'The Legend of Zelda: Triforce of the Gods 2') is the seventeenth installment of the Legend of Zelda series, developed for the Nintendo 3DS. But Agahnim used his position to get rid of the King, take control of the knights, and send the six maidens, descendants of the Seven Sages, into the Dark World. He was appointed the position of chief advisor and priest at Hyrule Castle. Then, the wizard Agahnim appeared and, using magic never seen before, put a stop to the misfortunes. The King of Hyrule asked for someone to stop them.
#LINK BETWEEN WORLDS ZELDA SERIES#
Many years later, Hyrule was plagued by a sudden series of misfortunes. They succeded and Hyrule went into an era of peace, but that peace was short-lived. The Knights of Hyrule and the Six Sages worked together, even with high losses, to stop Ganon's onslaught. Ganon escaped from the Sacred Realm, and, with his army, attacked Hyrule. Eventually, said people found the Sacred Realm but became pawns of Ganon's army. It also allows Link to enter dimension cracks to travel between Hyrule and Lorule.Years after Ocarina of Time, news of the Sacred Realm and the power of the Triforce spread like wild fire, and greedy people set out to claim its power for themselves. A major part of the gameplay revolves around Link's ability to "merge" into certain walls which allows him to move past areas he would be otherwise unable to. Similar to Link to the Past, Link Between Worlds has a light world (Hyrule) and a dark world (Lorule), and Link must transverse both to complete the game. Link will lose these items if he dies, but eventually Link will be able to purchase the items permanently once he has obtained the three pendants of virtue. Link Between Worlds is the first Zelda title in which Link can complete any dungeon in any order, as Link doesn't find his items in the dungeons but instead must "rent" items from the merchant, Ravio. Link Between Worlds is the first 3DS Zelda title, as well as a sequel to Link to the Past, although the story, dungeons, and mechanics are entirely original.
