Once upon a time, wizards tried to conquer the Sacred Realm of Hyrule. The Spirits of Light sealed the wizards' power within the Shadow Crystal and banished them to the Twilight Realm beyond the Mirror of Twilight. Now, an evil menace is trying to find Midna, Princess of the Twilight Realm, and the fragments of the Shadow Crystal to gain the power to rule over both the Twilight Realm and the World of Light.

In his wolf form, saving Zelda from Ganondorf's grasp is only the first challenge in Link's final battle against the fearsome beast that Ganondorf has transformed into. But driving the demon king back grants only a momentary respite--in the end it all comes down to a last duel between Link and Ganondorf, fought for the destiny of Hyrule and the Twilight Realm!
