The Gerudo King

Prologue

      Young children run around the large park in the center of the grand city. They weave in and out of the large memorial statues scattered about.

A young girl stops suddenly. She stands before one of the largest statues in the parks. The statue is surrounded by a lovely garden, a gravel path leading up to the dais it sits on.

The statue is of a tall man, who stands looking at the sky. He stands proud and strong, his head held high. He is wearing garb from the early days; a long cape and armor. His features are strong, yet strange.

The old man's eyes twinkle. "Very good." He motions to the children watching on timidly. "Come and I shall tell you a tale of this man."

The children scamper into the little fenced in garden and sit down in the grass and on the dais.
