The game opens with Sora saying he has been having weird thoughts lately and wondering what is real. In a surreal dream-like opening, Sora is separated from his two friends; a red-haired girl named [[Kairi]] and a white-haired boy named [[Riku]]. Sora finds himself guided by a mysterious voice in a stained-glass void, the [[Dive to the Heart]], which foreshadows the events that will soon take place. He ends up being swallowed by a monstrous creature - the Heartless known as [[Darkside]] - and is awakened by Kairi on the beach of [[Destiny Islands]], revealing it was a nightmare. Riku motivates them to work on their raft in order to explore new worlds. Child versions of ''Final Fantasy'' heroes [[Tidus]], [[Wakka]] and [[Selphie]] also inhabit the island and are willing to training Sora so he can become stronger. While fetching supplies in a cave, Sora encounters a mysterious hooded figure in a secret cave who ominously speaks that this "world" has been connected and tied to the darkness. He accuses Sora of lacking knowledge and then disappears.

That night, the islands are attacked by darkness and [[Shadow]]s. Sora seeks out his friends, finding Riku first; Riku disappears into darkness, curious about what it contains. Soon after, Sora obtains a mysterious weapon, the [[Keyblade]], to defend himself. Using it to fend off the creatures, he heads for the secret cave, where he finds Kairi near a door. She turns to him, saying his name as the door behind her blows open. The ensuing blast of darkness sends Kairi towards Sora, she disappears before Sora could catch her. After the same blast knocks Sora out of the cave, he fights the creature from his nightmare. A gravitational pull sucks Sora up into the sky and into the void as the Islands now destroyed.

Meanwhile, King [[Mickey Mouse]] has left his world to deal with the increasing power of darkness and left instructions for mage [[Donald Duck]] and knight [[Goofy]] to find and follow the "key". Donald and Goofy use a [[Gummi Ship]] to travel to [[Traverse Town]], where Sora has also ended up. Sora encounters the creatures again in the town, and eventually meets [[Leon]], demanding the Keyblade. After a fight, Leon explains the identity of the creatures that attacked him. They are known as Heartless, and that they are creatures that consume hearts (and eventually whole worlds). He further points out that the Keyblade is the only weapon capable of defeating them. The king of Leon's home world, a man named [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem]], is said to have studied the Heartless but now missing. Donald and Goofy are approached by Leon's ally [[Aerith]], who also tells them what they may be looking for. Soon after, Sora meets Donald and Goofy rather hastily, and the three work together to take down a large Heartless.

The destroyed worlds reconstruct themselves; Kairi is pulled back to the Destiny Islands, but Sora promises before separating they will all reunite some day. Sora, Donald, and Goofy resolve to find Riku and Mickey, though they are unsure of where to start. Luckily, [[Pluto]] appears, clutching a letter from Mickey in his mouth; he runs off with Sora, Donald, and Goofy in tow, ready for a [[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories|new set of adventures]]. The silent narrator from the beginning of the game states in the final scene that Sora's destiny is to open the door to light. Meanwhile, Kairi finds a drawing in the secret cave of Sora giving her a [[Paopu Fruit]]; Kairi weeps in happiness and reciprocates the drawing.
