The Triforce, being an inanimate object, cannot judge between good amd evil. Therefore, it could not know that Ganon's wishes were evil; it merely granted them. Suspecting that Ganon's power was based on the Triforce's magic, the people of Hyrule forged a sword resistant to magic which could repulse even powers granted by the Triforce. This mighty weapon became known as the blade of evil's bane, or the Master Sword. It was so powerful, that only one who was pure of heart could weild it. As the Seven Wise Men searched for a valiant person to take up the Master Sword, Ganon's evil army swarmed from the tainted Golden Land into Hyrule and attacked the castle. The wise men and the Knights Of Hyrule combined forces to wage war on this evil horde.

The Knights took the full brunt of the fierce attack, and although they fought courageously, many a brave soul was lost that day. However, their lives were not lost in vain, for they bought precious time for the Seven Wise Men to magically seal Ganon in the Golden Land. All of Hyrule rejoiced at the victory that upheld peace and order over Ganon's evil and Chaos. This war, which claimed many lives, became known as the Imprisoning War, in stories told in later centuries.

Many centuries have passed since the Imprisoning War. The land of Hyrule healed it's wounds and the people lived in peace for a long time. Memories of the vicious Imprisoning War faded over the generations...


That was an excerpt from the SNES version of Alttp's Strategy guide. It clearly states that the Master Sword was made during the imprisoning war, for the specific purpose of defeating Ganon. It also describes centuries of peace following the imprisoning war, until the start of AlttP. You can't deny the facts. Unless there was more than one Master Sword, there is no way that WW was before AlttP.

And Ganondorf died at the end of Wind Waker also, if you remember. Death has never seemed to keep Ganon down, seeings as he's been killed in every game he's ever been in. Though that doesn't mean Alttp was before WW, it doesn't mean the opposite either. It's an invalid arguement. It's also possible that there was more than one Ganon, just like there was more than one link and Zelda.

Oh yeah, it also proves that the war is called the imprisoning war, no the sealing war. Deal with it.
