occupyhyrule
The attack came at dawn, in the small hours when light began to bleed into the black sky. In formation, the soldiers marched. They were twisted beings, their shape warped into something corrupt and monstrous. They looked bleak against Hyrule Field's vibrancy and color. And at the helm was the King of Evil himself.
The sun was sitting higher when they reached the gates of Castle Town. The shadow beasts tore the gates from their hinges and plowed through the first line of defense. And it took them no time to bring this battle to the feet of Princess Zelda. When the dust settled, she lay dead among her men. He picked his way among the remains, frowning at the sight of Zelda's crumpled form on the floor. The battle had not been what he envisioned. Zelda was hardly any use to him dead. At least before he could claim his prize. Instead, the light of her Triforce dimmed with her life.
It would take ages to find it again.
When twilight began to blot out the sun, Ganondorf was already planning. The Royal Family thought itself so clever. There were relatives scattered across the breadth of Hyrule, and the Triforce could have found its way to any of them. He would send his shadow beasts out to find any maiden with even a passing resemblance to the lost princess. It would take time. Thankfully, with his situation more secure, Ganondorf had the patience. In the meantime, he busied himself scouring the archives for a clue about the Triforce of Courage. He would have all 3 in time and finally have his wish granted.
He found her here, among the dusty tomes and unsealed scrolls.
"I did not see you during the battle, Midna," he said, "Weren't you there?"
