The wizard Agahnim abducts Princess Zelda and confines her in the dungeon of her own castle. She telepathically cries out for help and her pleas are answered by a boy named Link. The two escape the castle together, but Link’s adventures are only just beginning. He must find the legendary Master Sword and save the land of Hyrule from Agahnim’s tyranny!

One day, while at sea, Link’s raft is struck by lightning in the midst of a fierce storm. He awakens on a strange island in the company of a girl named Marin who looks an awful lot like Zelda, and isn’t sure how to get back to Hyrule. However, when a mysterious owl instructs him to travel to the Woods of Mystery, Link finds himself on a grand adventure to find and awaken the ‘Wind Fish’ so that he may return home.
