As the hundred years of peace draws to a close Ganondorf reveals himself to the elf queen. In Queen Zelda's study as she researches battle strategies the New-God of darkness appears from the shadows. Only to be greeted by a light arrow from Zelda's personal Right-One, Thor. The shot is intercepted by the Guardian and before the battle could escalate Ganon teleports himself and Zelda to the Underworld. Before them a grand table had been set and stocked, with candles lit. Offering the elf queen a seat Ganon takes his own at the head of the table while the Guardian fills their cups. Zelda taking her seat refuses the bounty before her to ask why she had been abducted in such a manner. In response to this the New-God of darkness confessed his love for the elf queen and offered her kingdom salvation from the upcoming battle, if only she married him and made him king. Tempted by darkness the queen refused, choosing instead not to rob her kingdom of the glory of victory born from elf hands. Ganondorf laughs disappointedly and sends Zelda back to her study to meet her fate. Upon returning to her kingdom Queen Zelda gives the order to prepare for war.
