Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Opening/Intro Sequence (Japanese, English Translation Included)

The Japanese opening for the Wii game Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Translation (from Haruka_91 on Gamefaqs.com... hope he/she doesn't mind)

Ancient folklore

...This is a story recited and passed down by you, humans...

...It was an unprecedented war so terrifying and vehement that its likes would never be seen again...
All of a sudden the earth split, and evil beings made their appearance...
They stole away the smiles of all those living on the ground
These evil beings burned the forests, dried the lakes and murdered the people in their path

Their objective was what was protected by that lady... The "almighty power" protected by the goddess
The almighty power... That was
A heritage from the gods, said to grant any wish or desire
The ultimate power, inherited by the goddess from the forefathers of ancient times...
In order to protect the almighty power from the evil beings
She took the surviving humans on board and raised the land to the heavens...
To a place far from where the hands of evil can reach... On the other side of the sea of
clouds, to the high limits of the sky
And so the goddess and the others wagered their lives, fighting in order to seal the evil...
The land once more regained its days of stillness...

This is a story recited and passed down by you, humans...
However inside of this story, numerous legends lay hidden
And now, the door of a new legend about to be spun is waiting to be opened,
...by your hands...
