(I took this from the manual)

"In the land of Hyrule, there echoes a legend.
A legend held dearly by the Royal Family that tells of a boy...

A boy who, after battling evil and saving Hyrule,
crept away from that land that had made him a legend...

Done with the battles he once maged across time, he embarked
on a journey. A secret and personal journey...

A journey in search of a beloved and invaluable friend...

A friend whom he parted ways when he finally fulfilled
his heroic destiny and took his place among legends..."
