History

File:Fusedshadow.png
The Fused Shadow, source of the Interlopers' power.

Hyrule was created by the Golden Goddesses: Din, Nayru, and Farore. After the goddesses were finished with Hyrule, they created another parallel world known as the Sacred Realm.[1] Before departing the realm, the Golden Goddesses left behind the three golden triangles filled with their power, these three triangles when put together would become a larger triangle known as the Triforce. After this, Hyrule was at peace for a number of years.

The Triforce granted the wishes of those who touched it, meaning nearly limitless power. However, the goddesses wished to keep the power out of the reach of evil. Therefore, if the one who touched the Triforce did not have a perfect balance of power, wisdom and courage, the Triforce would split into three, leaving the one who touched it with the piece representing the force the one believed in most. The other two parts would be given to those destined, these two bearing the mark of the Triforce on their hands.[2]

The legend spread across Hyrule, causing a great war over the location of the Sacred Realm.[3] During this war, the tribe skilled in dark magic known only as the Dark Interlopers attempted to establish dominion over the Sacred Realm and establish their power using the Fused Shadow. Ordered by the Golden Goddesses, the Light Spirits intervened and sealed the Interlopers in the Twilight Realm.[4] [5] They also sealed away the great magic those individuals had mastered,[5] and splintered it, so it became the fragments of the Fused Shadow hidden in the temples of Hyrule.

The descendants of the Interlopers became the Twili, doomed to live as mere shadows in the Twilight. [6]

This story bears similarities to the Era of Chaos which occurred some time after the events of Skyward Sword, although it is not known for certain whether they are the same event.
