There are 5 continents, Hyrule being one of them, and the one from MM another one. Each country has a tale of a boy in green who has saved their country, and when a new hero in green comes (he has done something amazing in Hyrule early in the game), they all want him to be on their side. There has been peace for over 50 years between the countries, but it is egging up to a new war. A reason for this is poverty, and Princess Zelda was accused of being an evil sorceress who destroyed the crops of the other countries. Hyrule's king knows that Hyrule is still weak after losing the war 50 years ago (they were in the losing alliance), and sends Zelda away to prevent crisis from happening.
Because of Link's appearance, in Hyrule, Garashia (another country, silly name, I know) goes to war against Hyrule. As both the armies march towards Link's hometown, he is stuck with 3 options: 1. Join the Hyrulian army. 2. Join the Garashian army, or 3. Be an independant soldier.
Depending on your choice, there are now 3 storylines following up. If you choose to join the Hyrulian army, Hyrule will join up with 2 other nations (the MM one and Primpia) and defeat the last 2, making them parts of the winning countries. Princess Zelda becomes the queen of the new alliance between the 3 ending countries. Perhaps there can be a civil war later on.
If he joins Garashia, Primpia and Shrongli will join them, and Garashia will win the war. At the very end, you have the choice to either save Princess Zelda from being hanged as an evil sorceress (and leave in an attempt to live happily ever after, not sure if that will happen though) or let her die.
If you become an indepentdant soldier, Princess Zelda and the Sheikas will join you to form a small coutry inside Hyrule. You will mostly have to defend yourself, and keep your citizens from starving, as well as keeping Princess Zelda safe. Unfourtunately, she is doomed to die, as Hyrule declares war on the Sheika country, and after a long war, the Sheikas lose, and Princess Zelda dies. The rest of the tribe survives (most of it), and dissapears, but secretly attacks the other countries. As Hyrule is weakened, Garashia sees their change, and destroys Hyrule.
In the end, Primpia toghether with Shrongli becomes the last and final country left, after having defeated everyone else. The Sheikas are still alive (toghether with link), and attempt to kill the king. They manage to do it, but everyone but Link dies. He manages to get away and forms a new identity, but the game ends with a mail in Link's mailbox. It says: "due to the late death of our King, the next in the bloodline has been sent in as King. All Hail King Ganon!"
We never actually see Ganondorf though, this is all the mentinoning there ever is of him,
