The Legend is section of the Link to the Past Nintendo Player's Guide that covers the back story of all the Zelda games up to the release of that game. It was continued and expanded on both the Link's Awakening and Ocarina of Time Player's Guide as well as the Hyrule Universe website. They (along with Hyrule Historia) are written from the conceit of being based on in-universe encyclopedia documents and discussions by Hyrule scholars, storytellers, and historians concerning 'legends' found in the Castle's library (Hyrule Archives).
