The story

The Legend of Zelda: New Beginnings also known as Fusion Gate or Adventure of Link II, takes place a few days after Majora's Mask. Link stumbles unsuspectingly to a land known as Novos Orsa, which acts as a bridge between Hyrule and Termina. Link's problems get bigger as he later learns about a dark Artifact from the Twilight Realm that has placed the good and the bad in a wild goose chase to collect the broken Artifact. Before trying to head back to Hyrule, Link meets counterpart named Sane who explained a bit more about the true power of this artifact and his theory of how it was created. After this Link accompanied Sane and those who seek the Artifact in order to rid Orsa those who trouble it. Unaware to Link and the others, a group known as New Aged Dark Interlopers (NADI) is also seeking the artifact, using it to break a curse of their so called leader known as Macellrius, a young prisoner of war from the Twilight Realm.

The Dark Artifact

The dark artifact is an ominous tool used in old Twilight Realm wars. It was destroyed and transferred out by the Genneth who died in battle to Macellrius. The jewel was transferred to Novos Orsa and shattered about. Twilit refugees spoke of this jewel, causing some to wonder and go search for it. This has created some people to go against others to seek out this dark power and claim it as their own. The only known person to have the jewel, well in Link’s eyes, is Sane, who contained the small bits of dark energy from corrupting him. Sane informed Link that the jewel can be used for good instead of evil, and asked Link to seek out the other jewels for him. Despite Sane’s agenda, Link himself wants to figure out how ominous the jewel truly is due to hearing it is from the Twilight Realm.

Characters

Link - In this game, Link appears as one of the primary characters of the game. Just like in Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask, Link is capable of using several of his former and new found abilities to use on his journey. Link encounters a talking moblin by the name of Mobi, who challenged Link to battle. Sadly Link loses and is taken captive along with Mobi's other captured victims. Link ends up meeting Gemmy who was stalking Mobi's group into the underground. After Gemmy's battle with the weaken Mobi, the underground began to collapse, resulting in Link breaking out of his cell to help Gemmy free the other victims and escape through a broken tunnel within the underground. The two escaped further into the forest only to be stopped by Mobo, the brother of Mobi, who apparently defeated the weary Link and Gemmy, the end result was that the two must jump down the waterfall and hopefully reach safety. Hours later, Link awakens in the Orlo Gale Forest, Deku Village.

Gemmy Greenstone - In this game, Gemmy appears as one of the primary characters and an ally Link first encounters. Gemmy attempts to rescue Link from the Moblin hideout, only to find out Link didn't need the help to escape, resulting in Link saving Gemmy from the collapsing underground. Gemmy reason for traveling into the Lost Woods was to seek out his obnoxious cousin, who took Gemmy's sister and horse along with her, probably to prove her point.

Kafei - One of the characters from Majora's Mask, he makes an appearance and helps Link a number of times in the story. He ends up Lost in the Woods after chasing Sakon, who sought revenge on Clock Town, which resulted in him finding Kafei. Kafei was accompanied by Skull Kid who took him into the woods in order to flee from Sakon and his new found hooded ally. After the fight with Sakon and the hooded figure, Kafei took on an illness and to make matters worse, the two were lost. Kafei fell asleep, while Skull Kid carried him through out the woods, finding a town to rest in.

Sane A mysterious young man, who is very much like Link in so many ways. He travels the land of Orsa in search of the Artifacts in order to bring peace and order to the land. Sane appearance mirrors Link, however, he bears an eye patch to cover his ruined eye, wears a white and black robe and carries 2 swords. Sane's hair is long and is dyed blonde, his real hair color is black.

Kevin Grayson The young man who helped the dekus recover Link, Gemmy and their belongings from Orlo Gale Falls. He is a swordsman turned musician, who aids Link and others in the best way possible. He is also close with many in a number of villages throughout Orsa. Later on, Kevin himself joins Link and Sane in their mission to recover the Dark Artifact.

Ray Wingfield A young man from a forgotten bird-like race who company's Link in his current journey for collecting the final pendant.

The Purple Assassin An unknown figure who confronts Link from time to time. His interest in Link and Company's situation is unclear, however, he is seen as an enemy to many.

Enemies

King Mobi The Great

A cocky Moblin who challenged and defeated Link in the very beginning, resulting in Link appearing to Novos Orsa. As Link was trying to head back to Hyrule, he stumbles upon a Moblin who thinks his new found powers surpasses everyone he fights. He forces Link to fight by making Epona run away, leaving Link behind, it was later reveal, Mobi sold Epona to a farmer. Once Link was defeated, he was roped up with the other prisoners of Mobi and taken to the Moblin Underground. At this time, Link slowly removed his ropes and attempt to escape, only to have Gemmy show up, who stalked and defeated the weaken Mobi. Gemmy explains to Link that a hooded figure had cause the underground to collapses, and at this very moment Link aids Gemmy escape with the other prisoners. Mobi managed to run away with his remain crew into the forest. The Moblin was scolded by his hood master, and parted ways with him, only to seek a rematch with Link from time to time, eventually, becoming an annoying rival of Link and Co.

Illrigal, The Exile (Pello) ???

The Sentinel A mechanized Guardian of the Aquatic Tower. It was created to protect it, but over the years it became corrupted. The Sentinel was responsible for sealing the door and breaking the only usable key to accessing the Tower, and discarding it into the seas below.

Dreadmire

Braizal

A shadowy manifestation that has taken over the life of a young boy by the name of Jeremy. Braizal roams Kohlingen Cemetery and has broken into the Monastery and hid himself there, awaiting for the one he calls "Father" to join with him, it seems he was referring to the Twilit Monster by the name of Okari. Braizal before this was Jeremy's imaginary friend, most likely a Poe that hung out with him at the cemetery. Braizal and Jeremy stumbled upon a man who showed up one day and ran off after going insane, the man left behind a piece of the artifact and Jeremy took it. Jeremy, during Link's adventure takes on an illness and is near death. Braizal feared he may lose his friend so he brought Jeremy to the cemetery to play for probably the last time, only to their surprise, the jewel joined the two of them, and shrouded them with dark powers. The shadowy human child is now deemed Braizal, and haunts the cemetery, and is the one responsible for breaking into the Monastery. Oddly enough, Braizal should have terrorized the village without Okari's help, but it seems, that someone inside the Monastery is keeping him there, and it is not the poe. Link hears of Jeremy from a Shiekah warrior by the name of Barius, and he informs Link the boy is being protected by a false sage inside the Monastery. So Link joins Barius in saving Jeremy from inside the abandon Monastery, only to be trapped there until what is keeping them there is defeated.

Mal' Rocher

In life, all he wanted to do was avenge his brother's death by finding and using the artifact against evil doers dubbed NADI. His search turned him into a criminal and a murderer for hire, marking this peaceful Goron into a villain. His ambition and greed for the jewel grew as well. He managed to aid a group of thieves find a piece of the jewel, only to kill them where they stood, however, Mal'Rocher didn't know about their pursuers. He ate the jewel and climbed BlackRock only to be cornered and kileld by the human and Gorons that chased him. His corpse was suppose to be brought back and buried until he somehow came back to life. The reanimated Mal'Rocher attacked and literally ate a human guard alive, only to be stopped by the Gorons, horrified of what has happened to him. The Undead Goron was bonded in chains and wrappings and brought back up the mountain side and sealed away within Old BlackRock City and forgotten. There were rumors of those in search of the Jewel died by and eaten by Mal'Rocher, who to this day still remains within the forgotten city under the snowy mountains of BlackRock. In Game, Link convinced The BlackRock Gorons to lead him to Mal'Rocher in order to extract the jewel from him. Link is warned, as the Goron leader think of Link's task a suicide mission. He also informs Link the beast is immortal and cannot be killed, but after speaking with Genneth earlier, Link new what he had to do to defeat Mal'Rocher.

Orlo Gale Forest, also a home to the Dekus, is a forest zone in which Link awakes in. The homes were made by Dekus, as for the house structures were built by humans who use to live in the Forest. The Forest Cavern is located there and it was once a refuge to Gorons living there among the Dekus until it was abandon, leaving an infamous item behind. Orlo Gale Forest is famous for its wonder waterfall that connects to The Lost Woods, and the Grasin Grove located East of the Summit. The mysterious Grasin Grove is a large forest maze. It is unknown of what lies within the maze, however, books found in Orlo Gale’s mini library contains bits of information about this place.

BellBrooke’s most famous location is Flora Town. People usually go there to enjoy the scenery and stay for the night at the Florabed Inn. Flora Town also has a placed connected to it known as Flora Town Farm. This is where Link can locate Epona, who was taken in by the owner, who secretly plans on selling her off in an auction unless Link either (A.) attend the auction to rescue Epona or (B.) enter the Owner’s house at night and risk stealing the key to Epona’s cage, Link has only 3 attempts to do this as said by Uncle Ben, who works at the farm, failing 3 times will result in Uncle Ben being fired.

BlackRock is a mountain like area, which is a home to a small group of Gorons. There Link is able to upgrade a few of his weapons and buy materials for making upgrades. Link is also able to attend some games the Gorons like to play. The Goron Mask is also located here.

(Mini)Dungeon List

The Forest Cavern An old cavern hidden away in Quiet Wood, rumored that a wanted man who was after a pendant who apparently died while looking for the Forest Pendant. This sparked rumors about the forest being haunting and the area was sealed off by a Deku named Korri Woodfall.

BellBrooke Strong Hold (Bandit Hideout) Formerly a place to store resources, years later, taken over by bandits and their leader, Dasum. The Silver Alliance (TSA), didn't want to attack Dasum head on, otherwise, their spy would have been killed, so TSA had to play it cool until Link arrived. After Link proved himself, he was given an OK to go in and seek out Dasum, resulting in the spy being saved.

Forgotten Palace(Palace of Olden Times) A former place of living for Gerudos and sheikah until a lying Garo turned both side against each other. It is now a place of housing for Garos, mainly, The Exile, a Termina resident who was banished from Ikana Castle before it's ruin. The Exile had so much hatred, thinking the natives in the desert match that of Ikana, causing some of the Garo Foot Soldiers to side with him, basically brainwashing them into siding with him. The Exile knew he had to steal something of high importance from the Gerudos so he attempted to lure the princess with poes, but failed, however, he was successful when he had a poe trick Link and the princess to explore the temple, ambushing the two them, resulting in the princess' kidnapping for ransom. Link was saved by Roga, and joins him to save the princess from The Exile, who is revealed to be Illrigal, the banished Garo of Ikana.

Aquatic Tower A tower located in the seas of the Fy'Vash Province. Said to house a monster who turned against it's caretakers. This same monster has the pendant hidden away inside of its stomach. The cause of his monster's turning was The Sentinel, a mechanized being who turned against his creators, thinking of them as inferior or a waste of life. The Tower had been locked down and the remaining key had been destroyed and tossed into the sea.

Dreadmire Swamp (Formerly The Fort of Shiru) The swamp was formerly a huge temple, which somehow was destroy from the inside. The temple's ruins now reside under a swamp that was created after a corrupt man decided to live there.

Kohlingen Monastery A Monastery, which use to be a place of life and refuge, now abandon. It has been sealed a very long time ago, however, at night faint music can randomly be heard inside. The villagers assume it was a ghost who finds peace playing music until one day, this unknown figure took the manifestation named Brazial in, sealing the door for the second time.

The Abandon Well The well is linked with the mansion, however, deep down below hides something shocking.

Underground Laboratory On one of the islands around Fy'Vash, a mansion is located there, within this mansion lies a laboratory in it's underbelly, and what is taking place there is unknown, however, obvious activity of the dark artifact is present, and it seems this fragment had been heavily concealed by the former owner of the mansion. When Link discovered it, signs that a new owner owns this property and his experiments inside using the artifact for horrific testings.

Shadowfoot Village The Shikah who turned reside here. This place is located in the Tirion Province on south, below the waterfall leading to a remote area.

(Jak's) Glacier Cave A Cave turned into an icy wonderland by a man named Jak. He later traps a Shikah named Julia, who was intruding, forcing Romero and Link to go save her. Julia's reason for entering Jak's icy prison was that she had spotted a man with dark presence speaking with Jak, and leaves, afterwards one of Jak's ice minions spotted her and trapped her in an ice cell.

Shad's Fortress The battered grounds where the Knights of Orsa, accompanied by different tribes and races, fought the bloodiest battle against the rebellion from the Twilight Realm who were deemed NADI (New Aged Dark Interlopers) due to their ability of using the Mirror of Twilight to transfer to different realms. After the battle against them, and the sealing of Okari, a man named Shad reconstructed a fortress months after the battle, safeguarding the Mirror of Twilight, and using small fractions of it's power to move groups of his own to do his bidding. This Fortress also serves as a lab, a prison and a dark shield, keeping the fragile mirror hidden away.

Beyond The Mirror Located in Shad's Fortress is the Mirror of Twilight, which was used by the refugees to flee their realm, but later, confiscated by NADI and reconstructed for dark purposes. The Mirror operations can only take the user to Orsa and the Twilight realm and back at this point, but it seems that NADI plans to use it to go to other areas once their leader is cursed free, probably their plan was to destroy and conquer Orsa, and preferably other areas too, such as Hyrule, seeing that several high officers of NADI sought revenge against Hyrule for throwing them into the barren realm to begin with.

DarkMoon Tower A Tower in the Twilight Realm that use to house criminals and weapons of dark arts. The Dark Artifact was kept here until the rebellion within the realm, forcing the late king to shatter and randomly transported the fragments of the artifacts to random locations in Novos Orsa. The infamous criminal who went insane since the rebellion had been cursed by the artifact he slaughtered many in order to retrieve it. Now that the realm is barren, the rebels who started the violence set out to seek the jewel to remove the curse from their master they call The Butcher, Macellrius.
