I was really looking forward to running the beginning of the game today. Unfortunately hitting the game over screen was not on my agenda, but I haven’t played in a while so I’m gonna need to warm up a little.

Long ago, in the beautiful kingdom of Hyrule surrounded by mountains and forests…
Legends told of an omnipotent and omniscient Golden Power that resided in a hidden land.
Many people agressively sought to enter the hidden Golden Land…
But no one ever returned. One day evil power began to flow from the Golden Land…
So the King commanded seven wise men to seal the gate to the Land of the Golden Power.
That seal should have remained for all time…
… …But, when these events were obscured by the mists of time and became legend…
A mysterious wizard known as Agahnim came to Hyrule to release the seal. He eliminated the good King of Hyrule…
Through evil magic, he began to make descendants of the seven wise men vanish, one after another.
And the time of destiny for Princess Zelda is drawing near.
