I have scrapped many Backstory ideas :| Sometimes ideas have been really absurd, sometimes trying assemble together fans speculation and sometimes about Tetraforce. Once I rethought Termina and masks thing. One idea was having two Triforces, because of two timelines. That led me think having multibly Triforces, just from different times. All those ideas are scrapped.
Now I have came back to idea having heroes:
- - - - -
This is but a one legend among others, which the people spoke of...
Long ago, there was three Heroes, who saved the Land from the Great Evil.
These three Heroes were thought being blessed by the Goddesses as they could slay Evil, what none of Brave Knights of the Land could do.
Before Heroes came, the Evil had took over the Land and placed curse upon it; Floods, Infernos, Insects and Diseases.
Three Heroes came like out of nowhere and disappeared after fierce battle.
Some of people believed heroes went back to the Heavens where they came from.
Others believed they are still wandering among them, waiting for new evil.
As time passed, the legend became a fairytale to tell children and then it was completely forgotten.
But in the end, what really happened to the three heroes?
As powerful as Heroes were, they couldn't slay the Evil, but they decided use Ancient magic to seal Evil for good.
Keys of seal were heroes themselves and only few knew this. These people built three temples to keep seal parts safe, so none could lay hands on them at once.
But...
When people forgot the Heroes and legend, temples were left empty. Anymore none took care of seal, which caused weakening of it. Like a hole, more it weakened, more powerful minions of Evil could get out of the seal.
And it is just a matter of time until the Great Evil will break out.

First idea of heroes was about 4 heroes, and one would betray. That one is scrapped too.
But what are your thoughts about this newer one?
