''Kingdom Hearts'' begins with Sora's [[Dive to the Heart]], which foreshadows the events that will soon take place, but soon progresses to [[Destiny Islands]], where Sora lives with his two best friends, [[Riku]] and [[Kairi]]. The three friends seek to leave the islands to explore new worlds and have prepared a raft for this purpose. One night, the islands are attacked by darkness and [[Shadow|shadow creatures]]. 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 a 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 Sora and Kairi both out of the cave. The islands are soon destroyed, and Sora is left adrift, Riku and Kairi's whereabouts unknown.
''Kingdom Hearts'' begins with Sora's [[Dive to the Heart]], which foreshadows the events that will soon take place. He ends up being swallowed by a monstrous creature in a nightmare, and is awakened by his friend [[Kairi]] on the beach of [[Destiny Islands]]. [[Riku]], another friend of Sora and Kairi, motivates them to work on their raft in order to explore new worlds. 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.

Meanwhile, [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]] has left his world to deal with the increasing power of darkness and left instructions for mage [[Donald Duck]] and knight [[Goofy]] to find the "key". Donald and Goofy use a [[Gummi Ship]] to travel to [[Traverse Town]], where it happens Sora has also drifted to. Sora encounters the creatures again in the town, and eventually meets [[Leon]], a mysterious swordsman who explains they are Heartless, creatures that consume hearts, and 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. 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.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy, meanwhile, engage and destroy Maleficent. They soon after meet a strangely-behaving Riku with a new Keyblade that unlocks hearts. He leads them to Kairi's living but unfeeling body; Riku then reveals himself as completely possessed by Ansem. The newly reformed Ansem explains that Kairi is the last Princess of Heart, and that her missing heart has been trapped within Sora's body since the destruction of Destiny Islands. Spurred to action, Sora defeats Ansem; however, he cannot seal Hollow Bastion's keyhole because Kairi's heart is still in his body, thus the keyhole remains incomplete. Sora uses Ansem's Keyblade to unlock his heart, releasing both his and Kairi's heart, but turning him into a Heartless. Kairi's heart returns to her body, in turn completing the final Keyhole; she then returns Sora to human form by the strength of her heart. The group resolves to follow and end Ansem's plan.

Ansem retreats to the [[End of the World]], the combined fragments of worlds taken by the Heartless. Upon being found and finally beaten, he explains his belief that darkness is the heart's true essence, and he seeks [[Kingdom Hearts]], the source of all hearts, and therefore the ultimate source of darkness. However, upon opening the door to Kingdom Hearts, it reveals [[Light]], killing Ansem. Beyond the door are Mickey and Riku, back in control of his own body. They help Sora and the others close the door, as there are many Heartless beyond it, but Riku and Mickey must remain inside to help seal it. Mickey and Sora then use their Keyblades to lock the door. 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 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.
