Expect an encyclopedia of Hyrulean history for Christmas, Alastor.

But even then, the history of the Demon King would likely not be covered in it. Said figure was hardly more than a legend in modern Hyrule—and a long forgotten one at that. Zelda had never even heard of him before she met the scholars who would later make up the Zonai Survey Team.

"He was once a man named Ganondorf Dragmire, the King of the Gerudo tribe." She said his title with a level of derision that few people, if any, had ever heard in the princess's voice. "He lived during the era of Hyrule's founding, an ancient time long before the first Calamity. He feigned loyalty to the King of Hyrule, but then murdered the Queen and stole an object of great power from her. He used that object to transform himself into a monster, calling himself the Demon King, and waged war on Hyrule.

"We were no match for him and his armies of monsters. Our only hope was to end the war in a stalemate. The King of Hyrule gave his life to seal Ganondorf away. They have been locked in that immortal impasse for millennia."

There was a level of familiarity in Zelda's explanation that one normally wouldn't expect to hear from someone recounting ancient history. The way she spoke of these ancient figures was as though she actually knew them.
