Ever since the copper cloud, glutted with malice, slithered across the heavens to coil itself over Hyrule, the land has soured into a warped version of itself: fairies, once delicate as drifting petals, have dried and thickened into swollen fungi; snow falls where the sun ought to reign; statues carved from eternity now gnash their stone jaws with a hunger unknown; and villages, long emptied, houses spirits from the past. Yet Link has taken the first step toward his dream: the initiation into the Rites of the Seven Sages. But the cloud, vast and grasping, seeks to smother the Sacred Flames before they can light the path to Hyrule Castle. As the darkness winds its long fingers through the land, each Guardian protects a Flame and Hyrule awaits your passage. You, the Hero of Time, will be aided by Navi one more time: the Zora River twists like a blue serpent through the heart of the realm, labyrinths lure the bold into their depths, dungeons hide ancient secrets... The mystic arts of the Sages, veiled in age and peril, beckon those with the will to grasp them. And the land, entranced and tormented, won't let you leave unchanged. The spell of this adventure is upon you!
