The Nightmare of Zelda: Prologue

In the land of Hyrule, there were sages which insured the safety and security of the land and people. The eldest of these sages created the Temple of Time, the resting place of the Master Sword and the entrance to the sacred realm. When the Hero of Time entered the sealed room, he unleashed a great evil, as well as a great burden. He not only gave Ganondorf the Triforce of Power which he used for evil, the hero also created multiple histories and timelines. This is why there are 2 futures, one with a flooded Hyrule, another with a Hyrule engulfed in darkness.


But there are more histories that stem from the moment he opened the sealed door. In one such alternate universe, the heroic are less so. That is the world of the Nightmare of Zelda. The Hero of Time was a like a fairy tale prince. He loved Princess Zelda very much and would do anything for her. What if, in that dimension, Ganon had tried to attack Zelda before she was sufficiently charged to seal him? What if Link had leapt into the air and pierced Ganon's heart with the Master Sword? What if, after the death of Ganon, Link had taken the Triforce of Power? What if Link, the Hero of Time, had 2 pieces of the Triforce?

Well, let us find out. As the old adage goes, absolute power corrupts absolutely...
