Story[edit]

The game is set in the fictional kingdom of Hyrule and stars a new incarnation of series protagonist Link as a Hylian soldier-in-training. Formerly the protector of the Triforce, Cia, a good person at heart, becomes corrupted when she falls in love with Link and grows jealous of Zelda's familiarity with him. Sending out her subordinates Wizzro and Volga, she wages a war against Hyrule and prompts Link, Zelda and her protector Impa, to restore balance to the land. Soon joined by Lana, a heroic sorceress from Cia's clan, and a Sheikah warrior calling herself Sheik, the Hylian army confronts Cia, who merges their world with the worlds of Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword. The Hylian army soon rallies characters from those games to their side to stop Cia as she attempts to resurrect Ganondorf.
