We meet our old Hero again, Link. He is in his house, waiting (like usual) but this time, he know everything about his quest. He has all the items he needs, and everything from all the dungeons. Why isn't he fighting the final boss? Because there is none. This time, Link can't do it. After many quarrels with the Royal Family, Link decided to give up. He put the burden of "Hero of Time" to a different person. Little did he know that different person was himself. 24 years in the past.
