The wind sorcerer, Vaati, has been released when Link draws the Four Sword to fight his shadowy counterpart. Vaati uses his magic to send the four heroes into a dark abyss so he could take over Hyrule. His plan was ruined by the entity of Chaos himself Discord. Before Discord was fully turned to stone he redirected the abyss to drop the entities within into Equestria to wreak havoc. Dark Link follows them into Equestria and tries to ruin their stay.
