Prologue: The Ghost Ship

The land of Hyrule is forever lost under the waves of the Great Sea, along with the remains of the villainous Ganondorf. Link and Tetra set out to sail the seas in search of a land to build a new Hyrule within, forming a close bond along the way. However, that new found friendship is quickly shattered when they encounter the Ghost Ship, a trap conjured up by the Life Force stealing monster Bellum to lure victims in. To keep Tetra from doing something dangerously reckless, Link goes on board the ominous ship, but no more than a moment after he does, it appears to go down with the hero on it. Tetra and the rest of the crew believe that he was killed in the ship's sinking, but in reality he was whisked away to the World of the Ocean King, where, with the help of Ciela, the fairy and Captain Linebeck, he was able to defeat Bellum and restore peace. However, Link remained trapped within the World of Ocean King while five years passed in both words slowly but surely. Back within the realms of the Great Sea, Tetra, now 17, has spent the past five years embittered and grieved over the loss of the hero, whom she had considered to be one of her few actual friends, and whom she believes she'll never see again. But during a strange natural phenomenon within the World of the Ocean King, Link finds a way to return home, where he finally reunites with Tetra after five years on one fateful night. Though the hero is initially overjoyed to see her again, the pirate captain refuses to believe that he is anything more than another dream or illusion sent to haunt her. Link continues to pursue her, trying to convince her that he really is back, but little do either of them know that something treacherous is rising up from the depths of the sea. An evil that seeks the life of the hero and the love of the pirate girl. The Great Sea has changed... and its nothing like it used to be...
