Long ago the Kingdom of Hyrule was a wonderful and peaceful place. It's ruler, King Roham, was beloved by the people. Under his rule the Kingdom of Hyrule flourished and was the most prosperous it had ever been in recent memory. Of course that didn't mean it was completely problem free but Roham and the rest of the royal family and their allies worked hard to fix them. One of these allies was Ganondorf, King of the Gerudo. He had been friends with Roham since they were children and loved Roham just as much as the rest of Hyrule.
However, as much as Ganondorf loved Roham he was also jealous of him. As king, Roham had the power to do pretty much whatever he wanted, but he wasted it all throwing banquets and helping the people. Not that Ganondorf didn't want to help the people, he just wanted to help his people, that is, the Gerudo. The Kingdom of Hyrule was prospering but Gerudo Desert was not. Like everywhere else, King Roham did his best to help but it just wasn't enough.
One day, King Roham was struck with a terrible illness. The doctors were unable to cure it in time and the King died. Stricken with grief, Queen Sonea, Roham's wife, threw herself off of Hyrule Castle's highest tower. Now, with no king and no queen there was a power vacuum in Hyrule that needed to be filled. Usually, the crown would go to the King's eldest child but the princes of Hyrule, Prince Latium and Prince Rozark, just so happened to be twins, meaning that both of them were technically the eldest.
Both of them wanted the throne and neither of them were willing to let the other have it and thus a bloody civil war broke out, possibly the bloodiest Hyrule had ever seen. People died by the thousands, it was just awful. Eventually, the princes decided that the war had drawn on for too long and declared a temporary truce. The two princes met in Old Hyrule Castle to conduct peace talks. The Castle was mostly uninhabited with the exception of their sister, Princess Zelda XI, and a few servants. If there was one thing the princes agreed on, it was that they loved their sister and sought to keep her out of the war, hence why she was being raised alone in the Castle, isolated from the outside world.
While the princes slept to recover from the long journey it took to get to Old Hyrule Castle, an assassin crept through the darkness. Ostensibly, the assassin had been sent by one of the princes to kill the other. Unfortunately, the assassin got the wrong room and ended up killing Princess Zelda instead.
Hearing the scream of the innocent child the, Princes each hurried to find out what was going on. Upon arriving in her room, the princes discovered the Princess' dead body but the assassin was nowhere to be found. The two princes blamed eachother and dueled to the death right then and there. The duel truly was to the death, as both of them died.
The next day Ganondorf announced the three royal children's deaths and took the throne. Over one hundred years later, he continues to rule Hyrule, now known as the Empire of Hyrule, with an iron fist and the people live in fear, hoping that the Legendary Hero will appear and save them. You are not the Legendary Hero. You are a group of mercenaries and adventurers who undertake various tasks for anyone who will pay.

GM Notes
Hey! Welcome to my rp. It's shiny and new and awesome. This is technically a reboot of an old rp of mine but with the premise completely changed. I figured that instead of focusing on big flashy hero stuff I'd zoom in and focus just on adventures in the land of Hyrule... that also happens to be ruled by an tyrannical dictator.
