Zelda II is seen by some as Nintendo's take on the tale of Sleeping Beauty.
Shortly after the events of The Legend of Zelda, near Link's 16th birthday, he notices a strange mark on the back of his left hand. He seeks out Impa, and she tells him the legend of Zelda?. Long ago, the King of Hyrule ruled the land of Hyrule with a son and daughter. When the king died, the Triforce should have passed onto the Prince. However, he could only inherit the Triforce in part, and thus sought the remaining pieces. When he learned that Zelda knew of their location, he questioned her. She refused, and so the Prince sent his wizard to question her. When he failed, the wizard became furious and cast a sleeping spell on Princess Zelda. The wizard fell dead, but the Prince was left grieving. He had Zelda moved to a room in the North Castle and had her placed on her bed with a red rose in her hand, and hoped that one day, she would awaken and return to life. To ensure this event was never forgotten, the Prince ordered all females born to the royal family from that point on to be named Zelda.

Impa also gives Link an old chest containing six crystals and an old message that claims that the restoration of the crystals to the six palaces in Hyrule will open the path to the Triforce of Courage. Taking the crystals, Link sets out to restore them to their places, defeating powerful palace guardians and learning magic spells to aid him as he seeks to find the Triforce of Courage and break the enchantment on the sleeping Zelda.

For a wizard of Ganon's power, death is but a temporary setback. His defeat at the hands of the legendary hero Link only redoubled his rage. Ganon has returned to life more powerful than ever, and has recaptured Princess Zelda and the Triforce of Power.

Using the Triforce's energy he has twisted the land of Hyrule into a treacherous maze. He holds Zelda captive in his lair, knowing Link will surely try to rescue her.

If Hyrule is to be restored, the Triforce of Power and the Triforce of Wisdom must be reclaimed. Link must face this strange new world to save the Princess and return peace to the land.

The Legend of Zelda: Parallel Worlds is a fan overhaul of A Link to the Past using new graphics, new music, a new overworld and underworld, and a new storyline.

Story:
You are a treasure hunter from another land. You moved here with your friend, in order to find treasure of course!
A lot of things started to happen not long after you moved here.
Seven people "appeared out of nowhere" and begin questioning about the Parallel Tower and the inhabitants of Kakariko Village. The Parallel Tower was situated in the Sky Islands northeast of the village. The legend behind the Parallel Tower was long lost, and only the elders knew the legend.

Word begins to spread out about the Parallel Tower, and people started to learn about the legend again. The legend says it was a by product of a war long ago and a power, known as the Triforce, existed at the top of it. It is said that nobody knows about the clues as to how to get to the top of the Tower. The seven people are said to know about these "clues" to the Tower.

Mike Jones is back, returning to his normal life after saving the C-Islands from an alien invasion by the evil Zoda. Back at home in Seattle, Mike is visiting his uncle, Dr. J, at his lab.
