From the introduction: One hundred years ago Calamity Ganon returned from his long slumber to destroy Hyrule and was met by Princess Zelda and her five Champions. But unlike another story which you may already know, in this world Princess Zelda successfully awoke her divine magic at the last possible moment and protected the majority of Hyrule from Ganon’s onslaught, though nearly at the cost of her life. In her absence Link and the Master Sword sealed the Calamity inside of Hyrule Castle, and he and the other four Champions gave their lives to safeguard Hyrule from Ganon’s armies and buy time for Zelda’s return.
