Hyrule's Founding Era[]
Upon killing Queen Sonia and claiming her Secret Stone, Gerudo King Ganondorf became the Demon King and created an army of monsters and demons.
The Imprisoning War of Rauru's Hyrule[]
With an army of powerful monsters and demons under his command, the Demon King waged war against Hyrule and its allies. Even with the help of the Sages, Zelda and Rauru could do nothing but watch as Ganondorf overwhelmed everything in his path. The war ended when Rauru sacrificed himself to seal the Demon King. Though the Demon King was sealed, the demons and monsters he created remained and would continue to threaten Hyrule and its people for eons to come. Unbeknownst to Ganondorf, Zelda would take advantage of the closed time loop to turn herself into an immortal dragon, allowing her to instill the Master Sword with enough divine power to withstand him millennia later.
