Thanks alot, jerk!
Link is a shepherd/rancher in the small village of Toaru. Toaru Village is one of the many several "lands" that populate the world which border the main kingdom of Hyrule. Every year a great festival is held in Hyrule where the leaders from all the lands come to Hyrule to talk. Something major is keeping the mayor of Toaru Village from going, so the mayor sends Link in his stead. Link has hurt his horse Epona, however, and Ilia takes Epona to fountain to heal. When Link arrives at the fountain, they are ambushed by mean looking villains riding boars. They knock out Link, shoot Ilia with arrows (she is presumed dead) and kidnap a young boy named Colin. When Link comes to, he charges off after them, towards Hyrule. Link comes across a strange black wall that block the path to Hyrule. When Link approaches, a hand jumps out and pulls Link into the Twilight Realm, where becomes a wolf and is captured.
After escaping the prison with Midna's help, and clearing several dungeons you meet the guy who ambushed you and Ilia again, and he has Colin tied up to a giant pole. After knocking off his armor by chasing him around Hyrule Field, you get in an awesome jousting match. With the proper timing, you can knock the villain into the abyss and rescue Colin.
