The Magician was a sorcerer who was close to the [[king of Hyrule]] and a close confidant of the [[crown prince]]. He brought the crown-prince unexpected news about the king and his younger sister, [[princess Zelda]]. When the magician and prince questioned the princess about the Triforce, he had lost his temper after awhile and threatened to put her into an eternal sleep. She still refused to talk and with his anger, the magician tried to cast a spell on her. The prince was surprised and tried to stop him, but the wizard fought off the prince and chanted the spell. The sorcerer died when Princess Zelda fell to an eternal slumber <ref> '' Zelda II: The Adventure of Link'' manual, page 6-8 </ref> which can only be broken by uniting the Triforce. <ref> ''Zelda II: The Adventure of Link'' manual, page 12 </ref>

== Appearance ==
He features many wrinkles, has light blue skin, red eyes and long fingernails which are white. He wears a purple robe with a necklace, which seems to resemble the Great Demon King [[Ganon]]. He bears a striking resemblance to [[Carock]], the enemy of the [[Maze Island Palace]]. 

== Origin ==
[[Hyrule Historia]] proposes that he could be an offshoot of Ganon's, similarly to [[Agahnim]]. However, it also mentions that he could just be another follower of the Great Demon King. <ref> Hyrule Historia, page 104 "The Wizard" </ref> 

== Trivia ==
* In the japanese version, it's never mentioned factually that the Wizard had died, it's only said. <ref> Zelda II: The Adventure of Link japanese manual translations </ref>

-Nothing else is revealed about the magician or why he so fervently pursues the Triforce despite his alleged ties to the royal family; ''[[Hyrule Historia]]'' proposes that he could be an offshoot of Ganon's, similarly to [[Agahnim]]. However, it also mentions that he could just be one of Ganon's followers.<ref>''Hyrule Historia'', page 104.</ref> In a manga adaptation, he is an offshoot.

-The magician has many wrinkles, light blue skin, red eyes and long, white fingernails. He wears a purple robe with a necklace, which seems to resemble the Prince of Darkness, [[Ganon]]. He bears a striking resemblance to [[Carock]], the enemy of the [[Maze Island Palace]]. Because the backstory was one of the last things added to the game,{{ref needed}} it is possible the magician was partially inspired by Carock.
