Set hundreds of years after the events of Ocarina of Time, The Wind Waker finds the hero Link in a sea scattered with 49 islands, which necessitates frequent sailing and naval combat. Link lives with his grandmother and younger sister Aryll on Outset Island, one of the few inhabited islands in the Great Sea. The people of the Great Sea pass down a legend of a prosperous kingdom with a hidden golden power.[9] An evil man found and stole this power, using it to spread darkness until a young boy dressed in green sealed the evil with the Blade of Evil's Bane.[10] The boy became known as the Hero of Time and passed into legend.[11] It is clear that this legend is the story of Ocarina of Time, wherein the Hero of Time, Link, fought Ganondorf. When boys on Outset Island come of age, they are customarily dressed in green to pay reverence to the Hero of Time.
