==Biography==
According to legend, Hyrule was a prosperous land ruled by a king who had two children, an unnamed prince and Princess Zelda. The King maintained peace in Hyrule using the Triforce; however, upon his death, the prince (who was supposed to inherit the Triforce as a whole) only received a part of it. The prince became hysterical and began searching for the remaining pieces. Upon learning from a wizard that his younger sister, Zelda, knows the location of the mystical object, the prince angrily demanded that Zelda tell him, but Zelda refused. The prince attempted to make Zelda talk by pulling out a whip to strike one of the maids, prompting Zelda to intervene and try to stop it. Angered that Zelda still did not talk, the wizard cursed Zelda by putting her into an eternal sleep but also killing him in the process. Feeling guilty for his actions, the prince seals his sleeping sister in the North Palace and orders that all female descendants of the Hylian monarchy afterwards are to be named Zelda.
To break the curse, a hero must possess the complete Triforce, a hero named Link successfully obtains the Triforce of Courage, the final piece of the Triforce, and uses the complete form to awaken the sleeping princess from her eternal slumber.
