said it was in the cemetary in the shadow of Death Mountain, but no one
ever found it. That yearning for the Triforce soon turned to lust for
power, which in turn led to the spilling of blood. Soon the only motive
left among those searching for the Triforce was pure greed.
One day, quite by accident, a gate to the Golden Land of the Triforce
was opened by a gang of thieves skilled in the black arts. This land
was
like no other. In the gathering twilight, the Triforce shone from its
resting place high above the world. In a long running battle, the
leader
of the thieves fought his way past his followers in a lust for the
Golden Power. After vanquishing his own followers, the leader stood
triumphant over the Triforce and grasped it with his blood-stained
hands. He heard a whispered voice: "If thou has a strong desire or
dream, wish for it..." And in reply, the roaring laughter of the
brigand
leader echoed across time and space and even reached the far-off land
of
Hyrule. The name of this king of thieves is Ganondorf Dragmire, but he
is known by his alias, Mandrag Ganon, which means Ganon of the
Enchanted
Thieves.

I do not know what Ganon wished for from the Triforce. However, in time

Triforce's magic, the people of Hyrule forged a sword resistant to
magic which could repulse even powers granted by the Triforce. This
mighty weapon became known as the blade of evil's bane, or the Master
Sword. It was so powerful that only one who was pure of heart and
strong
of body could wield it. As the Seven Wise Men searched for a valient
person to take up the Master Sword, Ganon's evil army swarmed from the
tainted Golden Land into Hyrule and attacked the castle. The wise men
and the Knights Of Hyrule combined forces to wage war on this evil
horde.
The Knights took the full brunt of the fierce attack, and although they
fought courageously many a brave soul was lost that day, However, their
lives were not lost in vain, for they bought precious time for the
Seven
Wise Men to magically seal ganon in the Golden land. All of Hyrule
rejoiced at the victory that upheld peace and order over Ganon's evil
and chaos. This war, which had claimed many lives, became known as the
