Eye of Truth

It was twelve years since the Hyrulean Civil War ended, and the land still hadn't fully recovered. The scars of war ran deep across the nation, seared into the very souls of everyone in the land. Tens of thousands of lives had been lost in one of the bloodiest conflicts Hyrule had ever experienced.

Most of the survivors and widows were haunted by the loss of loved ones in the conflict, and of the political and social upheaval that forever changed their lives. Veterans like Shikashi, however, were haunted by other things from the war. Images of terrible, cruel things, carried out by ordinary people during the war, all for the sake of their idea of a just cause swirled in his mind.

Shikashi thought it was all behind him. But one day, an old friend of his warns him that someone from their past has returned from beyond the grave, someone who facilitated those evil deeds that haunted him so deeply. Should he make it to the village, death and destruction were all but assured.

Together with the village chief, Impa, by his side, Shikashi sets out to put an end the wretched man's revival. But in their search, new truths about the nature of the war rises out of the shadows, and why it will be doomed to repeat itself unless they do something.

And thus, they descend into the hadal depths of a massive tomb...the gathering place of Hyrule's bloody history of greed and hatred.
