 When the legendary hero Link enters the Triforce Temple one day, it engulfs him in a flash of red light. Link seems to fall through darkness, until he lands in a field in the far-off land of Holodrum. A merry group of travelling performers find him and help him recover. The main caretaker is a red-haired dancer named Din. She is, in secret, the Oracle of Seasons, who keeps the seasons of Holodrum in order and protecting all life. But before long, a mysterious tornado appears and captures Din! It had been sent by Onox, General of Darkness. By imprisoning Din in a crystal and making the Temple of Seasons where the Season Spirits reside sink into the ground, the seasons are thrown hopelessly out of whack! Link immediately decides to come to the rescue-with the help of the Maku Tree-but oh no! With the seasons out of control, the Maku Tree is horribly weakened! Link must travel throughout the land collecting the Essences of Nature to return the Maku Tree s strength. Along the way, he enters the underground land of Subrosia and gets the Rod of Seasons to control the seasons! After all the essences are collected, Link travels to the Palace of Darkness to destroy Onox for good!
