The desert of Hyrules. A wide expanse of hot sand that was a little cool only at night. The ground was criss-crossed by several deep ravines and the only living things that lived in this white hell were the underground moving sandworms. This is where the interdimensional prison once stood, destined for enemies of Hyrule and his royal family. A large white marble building stood amid several gigantic stone pillars. On top of the roof of the site was the mirror chamber, where the shadow mirror once stood. But now it was broken. The Princess of the Twilight, Midna, destroyed it on her return to the world of shadows. Now a young girl was kneeling in front of the frame of the former mirror. His long, silvery hair lay over his face and reached to the floor. The white dress it was wearing was torn. A tall, suntanned young man stood in front of him. His hair was pitch black and his eyes were a frightening bright red. He was dressed in short, black armor. He looked down at the girl from above. "Now tell me, where is the tear?" He said in a low tone and grabbed the girl by the chin. It had a childlike face and looked at the man with large, light blue eyes. "I will never reveal the hiding place of the tear to you, Myon. Your soul is black. Your fate is sealed. Soon the hero will reappear and destroy you!", She replied. He stood in front of her and snapped his finger. A figure wrapped in a black cloth appeared behind him. She held a whip in her left hand. Myon smiled maliciously and stepped back. "If you don't want to hear, my love ... you have to feel. If you don't reveal the place to me, you will have to suffer." The girl looked anxiously at the figure. " No Please not..". it whispered in shock. The figure raised its arm.Shrieks of pain resounded in the desert.
In another place, the Latoan area, southernmost area of Hyrules. A young blond boy lay in a pasture full of goats, staring at the sky with his blue eyes. He was wearing a dark green tunic and next to him was a scabbard with a blue sword hilt. A red-brown mare was grazing near him. Suddenly a voice broke the silence in the pasture. "Link! Link! Where are you !? The mayor wants to speak to you!" The Hylian sat up. A man came up to him. "Link, the mayor wants to speak to you. He has received a letter from Princess Zelda!" He quickly jumped to his feet and took the mare's reins in his hand. "I'll go right away," he said and headed towards the village. Ordon, the home village on the left. Occasionally there were small houses on two sides, separated by a tiny stream. The last house in the direction of Weide was the mayor's house. A young girl stood in front of it. It was Ilya, a friend of Links from childhood. “Link, my father has news from the lock!” Link went through the door and entered the house. "Ah, Link! Look, this letter has just arrived from the castle!" He walked up to Link and pressed a letter into his hand. The envelope was white and had a red seal on it. It was written in neat handwriting:
[i]Dear Link,
I am writing this letter with a request. I would like to thank you again for your brave deeds in the fight against Ganondorf. But it seems that Hyrule has still not found rest. I've been feeling a strange force for several days. I don't know how to say it, but I suspect it's the power of the shadow mirror. Yes, Midna broke the mirror half a year ago, but it seems she did not destroy it completely. The shards are scattered all over Hyrule. I ask you sincerely: lend me your courage and strength one more time to prevent further chaos from the shadow forces.Sincerely,
Princess Zelda
Link read the letter through several times until he understood what was in it. "It seems you have to leave us again ... For how long this time?" The mayor said carefully and put his hand on left shoulder. "I don't know ..." The young Hylian looked at the mayor and walked to the door. "No matter how long you need, come back safe, ok?" Link nodded and went out the door. Ilya stood in front of him. "Link, will you come back soon?" She asked. He stepped up to her and hugged her tightly. "I'll be back soon ... then I'll never go away. I promise you that." They looked deeply into each other's eyes, then he ran to his mare. He got up and took the reins in hand. He looked briefly at Ilya. Epona neighed and started walking. Ilya stood there for a few minutes and stared in the direction of the village gate. A small tear ran down her cheek.
"I'll be waiting for you ... Please come back safely ..." she whispered and went into her house.
Link rode through the small forest of Latoan. He passed the holy spring where Ilya and her little brother Colin were once kidnapped. Here began his arduous and long adventure, during which he got to know the loving, initially annoying Midna. He thought of her all the time. When he then crossed the bridge that separated the areas of Latoan and Phirone from each other, he reflected and kept his gaze fixed on the north. The forest of Phirone was silent and the silence was only broken by a few birds. He met the man who gave him his lamp. The man's hair was still covered with birds and he looked at him with wide eyes. "Well, young man. Traveling again?" He asked. The young Hylian nodded. "Oh. But this time I have nothing for you. Good luck anyway!" Link rode on without giving an answer. Now he came to the area of Eldin, western area of Hyrules. It was a large, green, tree-covered area.He rode over a small bridge that was built over a small pond. The water glittered. You could already see it on the horizon. The lock. The white towers obscured the sun. Epona got faster and faster. It seemed like she felt she was being followed. Shortly before the stairs to the suburb of the castle, she slowed down. Now he was in Ranelle, the largest area of Hyrule, stretching from the center of the country to the east and north. Link tied the reins of Epona to a small tree next to the stairs and then went into town. Like Hyrule, the city was divided into four. The western part. with a badly attended circus tent it was rather quiet. There was nothing special here. In contrast to the center and the southern part of the city. In the center there were many musicians and big shops. A large, magnificent fountain was placed in the middle. From here you came to the castle. The southern part was populated by several small traders' stalls. There was also a well-heeled pub owned by Thelma, a good friend of Links, and a fortune teller. The eastern part, like the western part, was less exciting, except for the doctor, who didn’t have a good reputation in town. But Link was only interested in the center and the castle. He went up the steps to the castle gate. In front of him stood the castle, home of Princess Zelda. Yes, Zelda ... she helped Link fight Ganondorf, just like Midna. He, Zelda and Midna .. Again he thought of the extremely pretty twilight princess. He passed through the gate and saw Zelda approaching him from afar. Her light brown hair was tied in a braid and she wore a white dress. Her torso and shoulders were covered with hard gold pieces. "Link, there you are. I wasn't expecting you so soon.", She said when she got to him. "I went straight after I got your letter." he replied and bowed."Come on, I have a guest in the castle whom I would like to introduce to you.
Link followed Zelda into the castle. The main room was large, with large, magnificent candlesticks hanging from the ceiling. In the middle of the room was a staircase that led to the upper floors. Link and Zelda climbed the stairs. At the top of the roof is the throne room. It was huge. The hero stopped short when he entered the room. Zelda noticed this and turned around. "Is it because of her? I've noticed that you've been depressed since we entered the castle." Zelda looked worried. But Link shook his head and entered the hall. A girl stood before the throne. It looked at the stone figures of the goddesses and the triforces above the throne. “Lady Raya, the chosen one, he is here.” The girl turned around. It had a somewhat childlike face. It looked at Link with red eyes and his long, light blue hair reached to the floor. It was dressed in a long, sleeveless, turquoise dress. A white cloth lay over his shoulders. "Ah, so he's the hero who saved Hyrule from the shadows. I'm happy." Link stood in front of Raya. "I am Raya, Princess of the Zoras. My husband is Prince Ralis, I suppose you remember him? Well then. I have a request. My sister Celestial is the guardian of the centerpiece of the shadow mirror. We lived in the Zora realm. Until However, the glorious idyll of our homeland was destroyed by a dark wizard. He kidnapped Celestial. He wants to complete the shadow mirror and reincarnate the shadow creatures to rule Hyrule. However, shortly before the tragedy, my sister entrusted me with the shard. So it is not him really useful. But he can weaken with Celestial Midna. "Link winced. After a short while, Raya continued. "He must get Midna out of the way to gain control of the twilight. If he finds us and gets his hands on the shard ....." She interrupted "... he will rule the realm of shadows ... and Kill Midna "
