Fictional character biography

A struggle between good and evil happens throughout time, with the people involved in this struggle having their souls constantly reborn into new bodies, while retaining the names and appearance of their former selves.

Link, the hero of Legend, is reborn to save Princess Zelda, also reborn, from the evil Ganon. Princess Zelda is the key to obtaining the legendary Triforce, and Ganon strives to collect its pieces, as the Triforce can grant the wishes of anyone who holds it.
