Hyrule Civil War

Not much is known about the Hyrule Civil War. The various races of Hyrule were engaged in a bloody civil war. In the midst of fighting, a Hylian woman was caught in the crossfire. To ensure the survival of her son, Link, she limped off to the Kokiri Forest, in which the Kokiri remained neutral in the war. Link was left in the care of the Great Deku Tree and was raised as a Kokiri.

Ganondorf, a Gerudo from Gerudo Desert, was known to have come the Hyrule and assist the king.
