A legend passed down by the forest folk.... 
 
 Once upon a time, Hyrule was beset by an evil man. The man had been searching for a golden treasure said to have been given to the world by three Goddesses. This treasure would grant the wish of whoever touched it and the man desired power above all. 
 
 The King of Hyrule, sensing this man's greed and lust for power, sealed the treasure away. The evil man became enraged and attacked Hyrule with an army of demons for seven long years. 
 
 The King of Hyrule was not alone, however. While his general lead the bravest of Hylians to battle, three tribes rose to assist the King. Each tribe sent a great general to lead an army to defend Hyrule. 
 
 From the North came the Gorons, their stone bodies impervious to fire. From the East came the Zoras, their sharp fins able to cut through enemies like their bodies cut through water. From the South came the Forest Folk, their bond with nature making even the most beautiful flower a deadly poison. 
 
 The four generals met the evil man on the field of battle. After a long and perilous fight, the evil man was vanquished and the generals were victorious. 
 
 Victory, however, came with a terrible cost. Many soldiers had fallen from all the tribes and the King's General succumbed to his wounds. In an effort to protect the land, ensure that countless lives were not sacrificed in vain, and that the treasure remained hidden from the likes of the evil man - the King entrusted part of a sacred melody to each of the tribes. This melody would unlock the path to the treasure that the evil man had coveted so much. 
 
 Each tribe returned home and peace settled over the land for some time. Many now make the pilgrimage to the site of the battlefield to honor the fallen. 
 
 *Link, are you listening to me? You did n't fall asleep again did you? Typical. I'm trying to share with you the history of our ancestors and you're off in dreamland! Come on, wake up! If you're not going to wake up for your little sister, at least wake up so you can see the princess! She's going to be present at the remembrance ceremony, remember? *
