Many years ago, a new Hyrule was founded after a demon named Malladus was sealed away using the Spirit Tracks. Many years have passed, and the tracks have become a railway, with young Hylians seeking to become Royal Engineers. Link receives his diploma from Princess Zelda, qualifying him to drive the trains of Hyrule.

However, the Spirit Tracks have started to disappear. Zelda suspects Chancellor Cole, and asks for Link to help uncover his plans. And so starts an adventure on the rails of Hyrule.
