Description:

A voice wakes Link from his sleep one night, and he and Zelda follow it back to the Great Plateau. There they are faced with a series of trials, each one designed to test a specific Champion. They agree to take each trial on. They miss the others so much it hurts, and maybe this will help them understand.

They soon realize just how difficult the trials are. Each trial pushes them to their limits and they have to work together in order to survive. And that isn’t all. The trials force them to remember old memories and feel pains long thought buried.

Together, they find the strength to continue. Through each trial and painful memory, they walk side-by-side. In doing so, they begin to understand more about each other, the other Champions, and even themselves.
