Description
In the Mushroom Kingdom, a letter is delivered to the Mario Bros.

"Dear Mario:
Hello! It's been a long time since we saw each other! How've you been? Archeology is one difficult job, but it also is rewarding. Anyways, I got a strange book from a mysterious merchant. It is titled "Hyrule Bestiary"; the merchant said it was a very rare book, since there's only one copy and…Oh, sorry! I got a little carried away! What I'm trying to say is that I'm going to investigate the origins of this book, and I was wondering if you could come to help me with this task. Little Dash is coming, too! You must see how much he has grown! He is so cute! Well, think about it. I'll await your answer.

Goombella

P.S. Luigi is welcome, too!"

Another letter delivered to Mario. Not from a royal princess but from an old friend. It has been a while since anything interested happened in the Mushroom Kingdom. There haven't been any signs of Bowser for the last couple of months. With Princess Peach discussing national relationships in the Beanbean Kingdom, this adventure seemed an excellent idea.

"What do you have there, Luigi?" asked Mario as he entered the house. "Oh, it's a letter from Goombella. She is asking us if we want to go on an adventure with her." answered Luigi. "Great! I was getting bored with the Princess and Bowser away! I'll get my hammer!" answered Mario with enthusiasm as he ran looking for his Ultra Hammer. "I'm going too. I also want adventure!" Luigi replied.
"LET'S-A GO!!!" yelled the Mario Bros. as they jumped to the pipe in front of their house.

Somewhere in the Mobian skies, a fierce battle is being fought in a colossal flying fortress.

"Give it up, doc. You can't possibly wish to stop me...er, us." said a confident Sonic while avoiding giant robotic fists. "Curse you, Sonic" answered an angry Dr. Eggman. "Have a taste of my knuckle sandwich, you giant piece of junk!" said Knuckles as he punched the mechanical armor Dr. Eggman was in. "Good job, Knuckles! Just give me a minute until I shut down this ship's weapons." said Tails, working on some mechanism. "No time to turn it off. I'll just destroy it. This is how it is done." Said Shadow as a barrage of Chaos Spears began piercing the metal armor. "NOOOO!" cried Eggman.

"Told you!" said Sonic in a mocking tone. "Heh heh heh. You really thought I didn't have a backup plan? You are messing with the world's greatest scientist! Now take a look at this!" yelled Dr. Eggman as a capsule containing a black jewel rose from a trapdoor in the floor of the ship. "This is a new type of emerald I found deep in a lake. I call it the Necros Emerald. I have been studying it for a couple of months and discovered they emit similar yet opposite energy than that of a Chaos Emerald. Instead of giving huge amounts of power, this emerald drains it. And when it has absorbed enough, well, see it for yourself!" Suddenly, the black jewel began to shine. "Oh, and I have to thank you, Shadow. This emerald has been draining my fortress's power, so it at its limit. But your Chaos Spears just finished filling the emerald's energy." said Dr. Eggman sarcastically. "Why, you." replied Shadow angrily. "Here it comes!" said Eggman as an energy field began growing from the Necros Emerald. In a matter of seconds, the field had surrounded the entire flying fortress. In the field, gravity was halted, and all machines were suddenly stopped working. "Wait. What's going on? This isn't supposed to happen. ARGHH!" yelled Eggman as he just vanished. "Hey! Eggface, where did yo…" Sonic disappeared as he was speaking. Everything inside the bizarre field disappeared in an instant.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In a monster-filled cave, plagued by danger, a Hyrulian hero finds his way through.

"But why do I have to go over there again? When I was here, there was nothing except monsters everywhere and a big fairy in the very bottom." complained Link as he just gave the final blow to a Dinolfo. "Shut up, Link. So much for a Hyrulian knight. I don't like it here, either. The Great Deku Tree sent me to pick you up and go to the Cave of Ordeals. He said something about the fate of the worlds in the 51th floor." replied Navi "You know the Deku Tree is never wrong. Besides, aren't you worried about the disappearance of Ganondorf's corpse?"

"Yes, it was weird. The corpse went missing two months ago, just before its burial, and the guards were all killed… Wait. Worlds? You mean more than one? And what did you say about 51 floors? There are only 50. This is really confusing. Do you think both events are linked?" answered Link.

"I don't know. But I think we'll find out as soon as we find the 51th floor. "

After slaying all monsters that got in their way, Link and Navi reached floor 49, where 3 armored knights awaited Link's arrival. Link quickly threw some bombs and some pieces of the armor the knights were wearing fell apart. Master Sword in hand, Link performed a Great Spin and defeated two knights and injured the third. The enemy was quick to attack, but was outmaneuvered by Link's Helm Splitter. As the body fell and vanished into black smoke, a door leading down opened.

"Welcome" said a calm, female voice. It was the Great Fairy, sitting in a small pool of crystal-clear water. "Hero of Legend, what brings you back here?" she asked. "We came here to find the 51th floor. The Great Deku Tree sent me to bring the Hero of Legend to 'where the worlds unite'. Do you, o Great Fairy, know where this may be?" replied Navi.

"Three worlds watched over by three powers. One watched by the stars, one protected by the earth, and one blessed by the goddesses. All three at one point merge into one, maintaining the balance between the three. Only the Great Ones know of this legend. Terrible thing are about to happen if the Great Deku Tree has told you about this. Go, and may the goddesses aid you in your quest." said the Great Fairy as the small pool began to dry, leaving a hole that lead to the 51th floor. "Thank you" said Link as he and Navi entered the hole.
