This famous video game now has a movie version. The plot centres on a boy named Link, the protagonist, who aims to rescue Princess Zelda from the primary antagonist, Ganon, by collecting the eight fragments of the Triforce, a powerful artefact. You can also watch a video from the cartoon version: Episode 1.

I’ve got something special lined up for today. I’m taking the harvest to Castle Town Market, and you’re coming with me. Now, mind your manners and do what I say. Speak to no one. And, for goodness’ sake, don’t touch anything.

- I’ve been waiting for you, Link. You’ve been kept safe, guarded by a secret race. But this very day, the kingdom of HyRule will fall. Nothing can stop the Evil which has crept inside these walls. I am too late. This is the Temple of Time. When these doors open again it will be seven years into the past. Find me again.

COURAGE
WISDOM
POWER

- I welcome the hero of Time.
- Hero of Time, face me!
