(After beating Ganondorf Dragmire and Midna went back to the Twilight Realm and destroyed the Mirror of Twilight, Link enters a race for the heck of it across Hyrule)

"Racers," shouted Malo, at the start line at Malo Mart of Castle Town,"On your mark! Get Set! GO!"

And with the bright flash of a deku nut, the race was started. Among the competetors were Link, The Postman, a Zora, and a Goron. Link started the race, greatly in the lead on Epona. For a few hours Link continues to hold a strong lead. But when darkness falls, Link gets lost. This would be the last Hyrule would see Link for a long time.

While wandering, lost, Link runs across a strange cave. With the possibilities of starting a new adventure, Link bears the Ordon sword, given to him, well, more like stolen, from a villager in his hometown.

Wandering for many hours, Link soon realizes that it is too dark to see in the cave. He pulls out his lantern, realizing that he doesn't have that much oil left in it, lights it. Then he sees, a few feet in front of him, a giant door, with some writing on it. Due to the very low light from the lantern, Link can barely make out what it says.

"Past this door lies a land thatis soon to be doomed again. Saved once before by a young man in green, this land shall once again lay in peril, looking for this hero. It is when that hero appears before this door, it will open."

After Link reads this, an earthquake occurs. During the earthquake, the door slowly opens. Past this door lies more cave, with paths going over open chasms in the ground. Link cautiously advances, and remembering that his lantern is low on oil, he runs through this path. When he makes it across, he spots an exit to the cave, just as his lantern oil runs out. He then rushes out the exit, into the unknown of the new world.
