Growing up, the forest and the Old Man were all you knew. You had no memory of the life you lost—only stories passed down from the one who raised you. As a toddler, your family was separated near the Great Plateau, torn apart by monsters. Somehow, you had wandered into the trees, where fate led you into the hands of the Old Man. He found you while hunting and, with a kindness you would come to treasure, took you in. He raised you in his cabin, teaching you how to hunt, fight, and fend for yourself in the wilds of Hyrule.

One quiet summer night, not long after your tenth birthday, he told you a story. A tale of a valiant, silent knight who once fought to protect the kingdom. Alongside the Princess, he stood against the return of the Demon King—but even his strength wasn’t enough. Defeated and on the brink of death, he was placed into a deep slumber, hidden away in a shrine just up the hill.

Curiosity led you to the place he spoke of. There, deep within the cave, you saw him—the resting knight. He lay motionless, bathed in the glow of an ancient, pulsing light. Scarred from battles long past, he seemed peaceful in his sleep, as though nothing in this world could wake him.

Years passed. The Old Man—your Grandpa—continued to prepare you for the world beyond the Plateau. And then, on the eve of your seventeenth birthday, the impossible happened.

The knight awoke.

For the first time in a century, the Hero of Hyrule took a breath of fresh air.

With your heart pounding, you realized this was your chance. If anyone could help you find the family you lost, it was him. He sat with you and Grandpa, silent. His wide, curious blue eyes darted around, taking in his surroundings.
