![]() ![]() The rushing waters of Ikana River have dried up, and Ikana Village is haunted by Gibdos. A Ruined Kingdomīy the time Link arrives, Ikana is vastly different from the prosperous Kingdom it once was, writhing under a curse. Īccording to the King, the quarrels among his men was a significant factor that led to the destruction of the Kingdom. The graves continue to be patrolled long after the war has ended. The reason the Graveyard is so well defended is never explicitly stated, although it is reasonable to assume that it was either a matter of honor (so that enemies could not desecrate the graves of the Royal Family) or an effort to safeguard the Family's treasures, several of which are hidden in graves. Ikana Graveyard was heavily protected by Ikana forces, even guarded by Captain Keeta himself in life and in death. When Tatl senses Garo nearby, she says she can sense a "thirst for blood looming all around" them, possible evidence that the war started as, or eventually boiled down to, a conflict of mere bloodlust. Any spies infiltrating Ikana who were captured or defeated committed ritual suicide without leaving a corpse, and while common Garo would call this practice their "way," a Master Garo refers to it as "law." Details of the countless battles that ensued following the war's initiation are not revealed, but the Kingdom is said to be "stained with a history of darkness" and "drenched in blood," insinuating a merciless, long-winded conflict.

The Garo Ninjas that haunt Ikana were originally spies from an enemy nation. ![]() Though the events which sparked the war between Ikana Kingdom and the nation from which the Garo hail are not divulged, what is made very clear throughout the game is their intense rivalry it is powerful enough to keep them fighting even after they have died. Īlthough Ikana's army was quite possibly its most notable achievement, there is also evidence that the subjects of Ikana Kingdom were skilled in the art forms of music and dance. The commander of that army was Captain Skull Keeta, a giant and a close servant of the King who had earned in life the respect and sworn allegiance of legions. Ikana boasted a capable army, the soldiers of which continue to fight after the Kingdom's demise. ![]()
