The Legend of Zelda (Studio Ghibli Film)

The Legend of Zelda is an upcoming animated high fantasy action film based on the video game series of the same name developed by Nintendo.
==Plot==
In the land of Hyrule, Demise the Demon King is defeated by a heaven goddess named Hylia at the cost of her life, enabling mankind to seal the darkness away with Hylia's heavenly crafted sword, the Master Sword, becoming Hylians in the process to honor Hylia for freeing their kind.
10,000 years later, Hyrule is under a harsh and oppressive totalitarian rule under the dictatorship of the Gerudo king Ganondorf, who currently possesses the Triforce of Power, one of the three parts of the legendary Triforce, and now sets his sight on the Triforce of Wisdom, which is hidden in Fort Hateno, home of the surviving legion of the Hyrulean Army led by General Alfon.
One day, in Fort Hateno, General Alfon's nephew, a physically weak yet mentally intelligent cadet for the Hateno Knight School named Link, opts to be the army's lookout, a relatively easy job as no one dares to attack them. Meanwhile, Alfon announces over radio broadcast that the Hyrulean Army's 7th Regiment toppled their 50th Moblin Tower last night, declaring a feast in their honor. As the Hyrulean Army feasts, Link spots an army led by Ganondorf coming towards the camp for the Triforce of Wisdom to gain absolute rule over Hyrule. He attempts to blow the warning horn, but his lungs are too weak hence the Hyrulean Army is taken by surprise. Alfon is killed by Ganondorf during the chaos and all the rest of the Forces are captured. The only two left behind are Link and Mipha, a member of a popular Zora band, the Indigo-Go’s.
Promising his uncle’s last words before he dies in his arms, Link decides to go to the Great Deku Tree for help. Mipha, a courageous and stalwart Zora (the opposite of Link’s infirmity and cleverness), insists on tagging along, promising to show him where the Great Deku Tree resides, and Link reluctantly agrees to let her come along in fear of him getting lost. Once they arrive at Korok Forest where the Great Deku Tree resides, they are shown a vision of Ganondorf’s takeover of Hyrule and its kingdoms. The Great Deku Tree also reveals that Mipha is also a princess of the Zoras whose father, King Dorephan, was oppressed from his throne of her home, the Zora Domain, leaving her to be raised as a band manager by the band manager of the Indigo-Go’s, Toto. This upsets Mipha over the loss of her father as she vows to defeat Ganondorf while putting on a Yosemite Sam-styled cowgirl costume to show off her rage. Resolved of who Mipha really is, Link volunteers to escort Mipha to Ganondorf’s hideout, the Forsaken Fortress, to avenge her family, as he reveals that he is sent by his late uncle to see him for advice. However, the Great Deku Tree refuses to have Mipha sacrificed because of Ganondorf’s governance over Hyrule which rules that the land’s kingdoms’ former governments have been exiled for life. Even so, the Great Deku Tree’s Korok grandson, Hestu, discovers Link’s hatred to Ganondorf over the death of his uncle, so he has him wear the Triforce of Courage, the third and final Triforce (which Ganondorf has never set his eyes upon yet) around his neck, which eventually grants him enough courage to rescue his comrades and defeat Ganondorf for his crimes. With that done, Link and Mipha, the two unlikely friends, set off to the Forsaken Fortress to defeat Ganondorf and save their land and friends. Meanwhile, at the Forsaken Fortress, Ganondorf’s right-hand sorcerer, Wizzro, attempts to resurrect Demise using the Triforces of Wisdom and Power, but the spell fails as one Triforce is still missing: the Triforce of Courage. Seeing the Triforce of Courage around Link’s neck, Ganondorf decides, under his daughter Urbosa's suggestion, to set a trap for him and Mipha once they arrive.
Along the road, Mipha prophecies to Link about the Triforce and Ganondorf’s purpose of uniting them to revive Demise, which only a fearless warrior clad in green can be able to stop. Later, Link and Mipha manage to enter the Forsaken Fortress disguised as Moblin Sentries, but during one of Ganondorf's assemblies, their cover gets blown by a mob of Hylian slaves, resulting in their capture. Ganondorf then lectures the duo on the power of flesh, which he demonstrates by showing a Hylian prisoner being thrown into a Gyorg pit. Thrown into the dungeon for a time being, Link and Mipha suddenly discover the statue of Hylia already toppled, revealing that the Forsaken Fortress was actually Hyrule Castle all along. Understanding the Great Deku Tree's earlier warning while Mipha looks on in shock, Link falls to his knees in despair and curses Ganondorf for conquering Hyrule. Just then, Link and Mipha are rescued by Princess Zelda, who, all the while, is attempting to make her own escape since no one is coming to free her as well.
While exploring the dungeon, they share their stories about how they got taken into custody. Zelda ended up in Ganondorf’s harem after her father, King Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule, died while protecting her. The trio soon comes across the armory, where they recover their weapons. They then enter a room where a Rito is being chained by another Moblin. The Rito named Revali tries to convince the henchman to let her go. Link, Mipha, and Zelda attempt to set him free, but then they hear more henchmen coming. They run for it, while Revali tries to save himself. After clearing a path of guards, the trio finally makes it to the entrance of the castle, only to find the drawbridge closed. General Volga, Ganondorf's left-hand general, and the other henchmen have them cornered, but then Link uses the Master Sword he acquired from Hylia's tomb to cut the chain to the drawbridge, allowing it to fall. Meanwhile, having successfully escaped from the dungeon, Revali rams past Volga and his troops. The trio makes it past the closing gate, but Revali barely makes it with the seat of his pants ripped off by an incoming Chain Chomp, and together, all four of them escape into the forest where they are safe. Later, Volga nervously goes to Ganondorf and informs his master of Link's escape. Angered by this, Ganondorf orders for the perpetrator behind his escape to be found.
In Faron Woods, Zelda fixes Revali’s pants, much to his relief. Link and his three newfound friends are all very thankful that they made it out of the castle alive thanks to Zelda. As Revali and Mipha rest for the night, Zelda decides to reveal to Link about her corrupted family life that changed for the worse; she tells a colored version of it but is pressed for a more truthful story. Zelda relents and tells him she had a spat with her father which resulted in her accidentally revealing her magic powers in public, much to her father's outrage. After graduating from Magic School which her father sent her to, Zelda had to defend Hyrule on her own to try and end the kingdom’s corruption, but to no avail. After learning how Ganondorf took over Hyrule with ease, Link ultimately apologizes to Zelda on her father’s behalf for not listening to her and Zelda forgives him.
Later that night, Zelda wakes up from a nightmare about her father being killed by Ganondorf after trying to warn him about the attack on Hyrule Castle, and then starts suffering a mental breakdown while bathing by the lake to try and calm herself down. Unfortunately, Zelda's loud cries catches the attention of a Maw-Ray, forcing her to swim back to shore. She seems just about to be eaten, when Link steps in via karate chop to the Maw-Ray’s head and tells the sea monster to get lost. After lecturing Zelda about what Maw-Rays are (like Revali and Mipha did earlier before Zelda gets eaten by the Maw-Ray), Link then shares with her the story of how he lost his own parents to Ganondorf during his childhood at his hometown of Calatia. Link promises that no matter how dark things seem now, there will eventually be light. Realizing her true potential as a magician, Zelda agrees to take a stand against Ganondorf with Link so that her late father could see through her misfortunes.
The next morning, Link, Zelda, Mipha and Revali decide to take a vacation in Castaway Island, a Polynesian-styled island paradise, to ease their troubled pasts. There, they save its inhabitants from a gang of Nabbits committing a marketplace robbery. Despite seeing Link and his friends as wanted escapees deemed by Ganondorf for a dungeon breakout, the island's tribal chief decides to disguise them as citizens by putting them in bathing suits so that they look unarmed. After their vacation's first day's pleasures and adventures, Link and his friends decide to train for their return to Hyrule starting on the second day. During their first day of training, the group meets a caged Goron tormented by a Chuchu named Daruk, whom they free after killing his captor. Daruk explains to Link and his group that he is on a quest to find the King of Red Lions, a legendary ship first commanded by the ancestors of Zelda's father many years ago. They go to a local shipmaster back at Castaway Cove, who agrees to give the quintet the King of Red Lions after they finish their training. After a week of training, they set sail back to Hyrule on their new ship. As they start their new campaign, the group bonds, learning more about each other and discovering their virtues: courage (Link), wisdom (Zelda), joy (Mipha), patriotism (Revali), and strength (Daruk). As soon as Volga and his troops arrive in Castaway Island to capture the team, they come too late as they set out on the King of Red Lions to start their campaign on liberating Hyrule once and for all.
Back at Hyrule Castle, Ganondorf’s daughter, Urbosa, is tortured by Wizzro and Volga into confessing her part in Link’s group’s escape. For Urbosa’s arrogance, Wizzro strips Ganondorf’s daughter of her title of Princess of the Gerudo on his behalf and exiles her to the Fairy Spring, where the fairies find her. Meanwhile, Link and his team, who now dub themselves as the "Champions of Hyrule", arrive at the docks of Hyrule where they face off a wave of Moblins, only for Ganondorf to overpower the quintet and ultimately recapture them. Outside Hyrule Castle\, Link and his team are taken to an area where all three Triforces (including the Triforce of Courage which Ganondorf snatches from Link neck) will be brought together and tie them to a post to observe. Soon, Ganondorf combines all three Triforces to resurrect Demise, who then fuses with Ganondorf, transforming into Demise's boar-like demon form, known now as Ganon.
Eventually, Urbosa is brought back to Hyrule by the fairies to free not only Link and his friends, but the Hyrulean Army as well, enabling them all to battle Ganondorf’s army. Finally, Link faces off with Ganon and succeeds in stabbing his weak point, i.e., Ganondorf’s crown, destroying both Ganondorf and Demise.
With Link believed to be dead, the Hyrulean Army honor him as the best cadet in the Hyrulean Army's history, only for Link to suddenly wake up, as he has revealed to be unconscious after defeating Ganon. As Hyrule returns to its former splendor, along with the still combined Triforce safely secured above Zelda's throne, a victory celebration commences to unify its five kingdoms, complete with medals for the heroes, Link, Mipha, Revali, Daruk, and Urbosa, presented by Princess Zelda, who now safely takes back control of Hyrule on behalf of her late father. Meanwhile, Volga and Wizzro, as well as the rest of Ganondorf's forces, are sent to the castle’s dungeon to pay for their crimes as Ganondorf’s accomplices.
