Triforce Quest Begins

Lyrics

[Intro]
A cartridge of gold.
Not the usual gray plastic.
A battery inside to keep the darkness at bay.
February, 1986.
A different kind of promise is made.

[Verse 1]
You're just a boy in green.
Dropped in the middle of a screen.
No path, no arrow, no guide to be seen.
Just a world, stretching wide.
An old man in a cave, by a flickering light.
Offers a wooden sword for the coming night.
His only warning, a simple phrase...
To carry you through the coming maze.

[Chorus]
It's dangerous to go alone.
Here is a map that isn't fully drawn.
Go left, go right, go up, go down.
Find your own story in this forgotten town.
There's no wrong turn, only a different discovery.

[Verse 2]
In Kyoto, on a long paper sheet,
Shigeru Miyamoto remembers the feeling in his feet
Exploring the woods, the caves of his youth.
Trying to bottle that mysterious truth.
He and Takashi Tezuka drew every rock, every tree, every lake.
For goodness, for adventure's own sake.
They wrote a new law with a confident hand:
The player is the one who will map this land.

[Chorus]
It's dangerous to go alone.
Here is a map that isn't fully drawn.
Go left, go right, go up, go down.
Find your own story in this forgotten town.
There's no wrong turn, only a different discovery.

[Bridge]
But the paper doesn't show the secret wall.
The bush you must burn after all.
The note that the whistle plays to open the way.
The princess is named for Zelda Fitzgerald, they say.
Just a sound Miyamoto liked, from a book on a shelf.
A mystery you are discovering for yourself.

[Outro]
A cartridge of gold.
A story to hold.
The battery saves.
You are brave.
Go.
