When Ganondorf got the Triforce, his wish to conquer the world changed the Sacred Realm into the Dark World. The Dark World is a twisted reflection of Hyrule, the Light World. Sometimes events in one world affects what happens in the other world. Entering the Dark World turns you into a shape that reflects what is in your heart.

 == Description ==
-The name "Dark World" refers to the dark, twisted copy of Hyrule ruled by Ganon in ALttP. The Dark World was once the Golden Land, or Sacred Realm, before it became twisted by Ganon's evil. The Dark World is like Hyrule, only darkened and twisted by Ganon's evil might. It is possible to enter the Dark World through eight warp tiles scattered throughout Hyrule, but impossible to escape back into Hyrule. This is because the Seven Wise Men sealed the way back to Hyrule long ago, during the Imprisoning War. However, the Magic Mirror can circumvent the Seal, allowing the user to travel back to Hyrule at will. All those who enter the Dark World are changed by the Triforce into a form that reflects what is in their heart. Only the Moon Pearl can counter this powerful magic.

 It is unclear exactly when the Golden Land, or Sacred Realm, was changed into the Dark World. The ALttP manual tells of the Imprisoning War, in which Ganondorf entered the Golden Land, stole the Triforce, and tainted the Golden Land with his evil power. Even when Ganon's army invades Hyrule, the manual tells that "Ganon's evil army swarmed from the tainted Golden Land." Furthermore, the Seven Wise Men are able to "magically seal Ganon in the Golden Land." Centuries later, the King orders an investigation of the "Imprisoned Dark World (as the Golden Land had come to be known)." It would seem, then, that the Dark World was not created until after Ganon was sealed in the Golden Land.
-Standard historical interpretation places the real events of the Imprisoning War during OoT. A legend told by Zelda in OoT states that "the resting place of the sacred triangle, the Sacred Realm, is a mirror that reflects what is in the heart... the heart of one who enters it... If an evil heart, the Realm will become full of evil; if pure, the Realm will become a paradise." According to Zelda, "the Sacred Realm became a world of evil" before Ganondorf invaded Hyrule. The Sacred Realm is also called a "void" several times, and near the end of the game it is called the "Evil Realm" by Rauru and Zelda. Note how Rauru commands: "Now, open the sealed door and send the Evil Incarnation of Darkness into the void of the Evil Realm!!" And Zelda tells Link, "Thanks to you, Ganondorf has been sealed inside the Evil Realm!"

 So two things are clear. First, the Sacred Realm became filled with evil as soon as Ganondorf got the Triforce, and became known as the Evil Realm, a void, after Ganondorf invaded Hyrule. Second, the Golden Land is not known as the Dark World until long long after OoT. Given these facts, there are several possible interpratations of when the Dark World first came into being. It can be argued that the Sacred Realm became the Dark World as soon as Ganondorf got the Triforce in OoT. But then it becomes difficult to explain why the Evil Realm is called a "void." Another theory would solve this difficulty by saying that the Sacred Realm became a world of evil in OoT, but not the Dark World. Ganondorf brought all of his evil with him into Hyrule when he invaded, leaving the Evil Realm a void. The Dark World is only created after Ganondorf is sealed back in the Sacred Realm. But this leaves a problem: did Ganon simply create the Dark World out of nothing? Surely there were some raw materials that he used. This is why some theories argue that the entire OoT alternate future was sealed in the Sacred Realm. After all, not only Ganondorf is sealed; according to Rauru, "the Sages' Seals will contain all the evil power in the void of the Realm."
