Guardian of Time

The Guardian of Time is a important background character in Hyrule Warriors. She was a great Sorceress who watched over the balance of the Triforce. Living in a Temple deep in the forest far from mortal eyes, where through her magic she could see across the ages, able to read the fates of all who lived, never interfering that is until a unique soul caught her attention. The Soul of the Hero of Legend, eternally reborn when Hyrule's need is greatest. Through her powers she should have seen that Link was bound to that of Princess Zelda, instead she saw only a soul unlike anyone she had ever known, eventually falling in love with the Hero. Preoccupied with her unrequited feelings love for the Hero, a fragment of the darkness, locked in its prison, saw an opportunity to corrupt the sorceress. Its whispering darkness wormed its way into her heart, pushing the light away and warped her curiosity into a desperate desire to possess the Legendary Hero's soul. Of course the evil had its own desires, to use the Triforce to resurrect itself and conquer Hyrule once again. Having pushed the light from her heart, the darkness compelled her to open the Gate of Souls, the doorway to Time itself. Monsters from across the ages pour through the gate to bring ruin to the land of Hyrule once more. As a result of these events, her soul was separated into two beings: The "Light" became the White Sorceress, Lana and darkness corrupted Black Sorceress, Cia.
