The beginning of a great adventure.

The world had long been in a state of prosperity and peace. Throughout the ages evil had threatened the land of Hyrule many times, but always a hero, bearing the Triforce of Courage would come forth and dispel the evil from the land. This story takes us to a part of Hyrule's history that few remember; a period of time which many Hylian scholars wish would be forgotten. This is the story of the Faces of Evil.

Our hero's heart was stirred by his restless thirst for adventure. As Link casually looked from Hyrule Castle's window across the beautiful landscape he let out a sigh. "Gee, it sure is boring around here." The young hero said with regret in his voice. The King, who had been quietly sipping from his kingly chalice, gazed upon Link and noticed the look in his eyes, one that yearned for adventure. "Mah boi! This peace is what all true warriors strive for!" He told the bored hero. Link knew that the King was wise, but he also was aware of Ganon's cunning. He suspected that despite the peace they were experiencing, Ganon was rallying his minions. "I just wonder what Ganon's up to..." He pondered.

There was something in the air of Hyrule that day, something that foretold of events being put into motion. A spectacular tale would begin this day. It was upon this fateful air that Gwonam, a resident of Koridai and an old friend of the King rode his magic carpet with great haste to Hyrule castle. He flew onto the balcony overlooking the fair land below. "Your majesty." The wise old wizard stated assertively, before putting his hands together in a sign of respect customary to the island of Koridai. "Ganon and his minions have seized the island of Koridai!" He informed them as he spread his arms out and looked to the heavens in despair.

The King was a wise and compassionate man. He immediately set about trying to remedy the situation. "Hmm, how can we help?" He said whilst making a hand gesture of support and wisdom customary in Hyrule. Gwonam used his ancient magical powers to summon an ancient scroll which he then presented to the King. "It is written, only Link can defeat Ganon." The ex-carpet salesman stated whilst pointing at the symbols upon the document. He in fact had no idea what the symbols meant, but the crafty old man had heard of the boy's exploits and knew that he was the right man for the job.

Link's heart swelled with excitement at this news. "Great! I'll grab my stuff!" He stated with youthful exuberance. Gwonam, who had now stored his magic carpet in his sleeve magically made a gesture of haste to Link. "There is no time! Your sword is enough!" He said with wisdom. Link looked upon the fair Princess Zelda. They had known one another since childhood and were best of friends. "How about a kiss, for luck?" He said to Zelda. "You've got to be kidding." She said and turned her head. She feared that he would see in her eyes how much she'd miss him if she didn't turn away from him. Link giggled like a schoolgirl.

Preparations were made and Link jumped onto Gwonam's magic carpet. The carpet began to fly at a high speed. Eventually, Hyrule disappeared over the horizon as they reached the sea. The old man took joy in the freedom of flight and did a loop whilst shouting "Squadala! We're off!" It was a long journey, but finally, the island of Koridai came into view, Link was astonished. "Wow! What are all those heads?" He asked Gwonam in shock. The wizard looked down upon his homeland with a tearful eye. The land was made up of many horrific faces carved out of stone. He made hand movements to express the scale of the adventure Link had in store and told him. "These are the faces of evil, you must conquer each!"

Link looked at Gwonam with the eagerness and courage to take on this quest. "I guess I'd better get going." He said to him. The tearful wizard was cheered up immensely to hear such news. "Here is the map!" He stated as he summoned a map of Koridai. "Where do you wish to go?" He asked. Link leant forwards and started to point around the map, trying to make this momentous decision.
