    Summary

    The king cut away his unneeded flesh and wore his scars openly, and our enemies shivered at his name. Tribute flowed into the desert from the border lords: rice, wool, wood. Their wise queen made an accord at his name. Visitors flocked to the desert from all corners of the continent to honour a king not born but made. The greatest swordsman rode in the lee of his name. Assassins followed him to the southern oasis and left him dying in the hot sun. In the burning power of the renewed sun they rued the wrath of his name. Grief hounded him until his last year.
    – The History of the Gerudo, by Brevuna

     

    But Brevuna died in the assassination attempt that claimed Link’s life, so what of her history’s veracity? As the grief-stricken Ganondorf pursues a legendary power to avenge his lover, he is turned back from his path by another story: a spring, deep beneath the ground, where the dead can be restored.
