    Summary

    Link wasn’t always quiet. Long before the pressure, and the responsibility, and the expectations of someone who was meant to save the world, Link was just an energetic little rascal. Before ever hearing of the Master Sword, the reality of Link's life seemed determined to make him into a silent knight.

    ---

    Or, the events of Link's life leading up him finding the Master Sword at 12 years-old and how it shaped him into the champion we know.

    Summary

    Gannon died, but the monsters he summoned didn’t die with him, and a gold-manned lynel decided that he would like to rule over the Sacred Land, gathering an army of monsters and Gannon cultists to his banner. After the devastation of the Calamity and the Upheaval, the remnants of Hyrule were – despite Link’s best efforts – not able to survive this new threat, and the last embers of the Queendom of Hylia were snuffed out.

    In a timeline not yet doomed, King Rhoam decides to take the Royal family to the Temple of Time to pray to Hylia for guidance. He wasn’t expecting Her to respond, much less send a Hero.

    Link, still adjusting to a body that isn’t ruined by guardian blasts and Malice submersion, is determined that this time, Hyrule will stand.

    Summary

    Prophecies don’t cook meals, mend armor, or break hearts. Hyrule is more than its legends.

    "When the blood of the goddess comes of age, and the crown’s heir reaches her twenty-second spring, the shadow bound in ages past shall break its chains. Fire shall crawl across the land, the sky shall weep red, and the kingdom’s heart will be tested in ruin. Only by blade and bond unbroken may Hyrule endure the coming night."

    With the ancient prophecy looming, the royal family steels itself for the storm to come. Yet beyond the throne room’s marble floors, Hyrule is no legend—it is flesh and blood. Knights, squires, and servants carry dreams and burdens of their own. Villages wrestle with poverty, soldiers whisper in taverns, and teenage drama ignites as duty collides with desire.

    As classes clash and alliances fray, every life—no matter how small—threads into the fate of the kingdom. And in four short years, when the princess with the goddess’s blood comes of age, those threads will either hold Hyrule together… or unravel it into ruin.

    Summary

    Link wasn't always Hyrule's Chosen Hero. There was a time he was a son and a brother, childhood unknown in its simplicity before the sword chose him. These are the excerpts from his older sister, Riley; the only glimpses to Link's childhood.

    Summary

    Before the Calamity hit, before a sword was pulled in a forest, a Gerudo woman stumbled into Hateno Village during a storm. Her carriage to a healer was attacked by monsters in the storm, leaving her to get to the village on foot while injured and in labor. The town guard helps her to the home of the Knight Commander where the healer is helping his wife also deliver a baby.

    The Healer didn't want to help the Gerudo woman due to his limited supplies and the storm already slowing his assistant with a resupply, but the Commander's wife demands he help her too and not be heartless. The wife is incredibly kind to the Gerudo woman and excited for her first baby.

    It's a long and rough labor for both mothers which isn't helped by the storm or when the Commander has to leave to deal with the monsters trying to attack the village during it. When he returns, there are two bundles in the crib and the healer is working to help the mothers. The injuries from the monster attack were too much for the Gerudo woman but the Commander assured her they'd care for her baby alongside their own. The Commander's wife is happy with two healthy sons to raise.

    Summary

    In the mess of clashing metal and screams coming from the Lizalfos, it was difficult to hear much else. Wild was lucky he was off to the side, mid-arrow notch when he heard the cry.

    “Wild! Help!”

    Before he could so much as turn his head to see who was calling for him, what had happened, Wild was suddenly thrown headfirst into a memory - his first in what felt like years.
    -
    Wild didn’t remember much, or anything, about his family. An ill-timed memory changes that.

    Summary

    LINK: Have you ever died before?

    THE CONSTRUCT: I am a construct, Link. We are not born, and we cannot die.

    [The campfire whimpers and sputters. They both turn to stare at the empty husk of another deceased construct rotting nearby.]

    THE CONSTRUCT WHO IS NOT BORN AND CANNOT DIE: …we cannot die in the same way our creators did.

    LINK: But surely it must be similar.

    THE CONSTRUCT: I wouldn’t know. Can a machine die like a heart stops beating?

    [Xenomelia (“foreign limb syndrome,” previously known as Body Integrity Identity Disorder (BIID)): A psychological disorder characterized by the non-acceptance of one or more of one’s own extremities and the resulting desire for elective limb amputation or paralysis]

    Summary

    Zelda can sense the return of danger, and she knows she is the one destined to stop it. She won’t fail. Not with all this wisdom and all this authority at her fingertips.

    Ganondorf can feel the curse creeping up on him, but he’s no closer to finding a way out than when he first learned of it. This hatred that fights to consume him will come for all his people next if he doesn’t stop it.

    Link’s brother is missing. Bodyguard to the princess, Rift disappeared with her after the appearance of the Dark Beast in Gerudo Desert. Now a Voice is calling Link to defeat that Beast to save Hyrule and reunite his family.

    Summary

    "All interactions with the Hero of Time are to be kept to a minimum. He must not be distracted from his goals to save Hyrule. Do not interfere with the Hero."

    As the Guide of Time, Sheik followed the instructions of the goddesses and Impa as they were given, for he would much rather be spared Din's Wrath in consequence of meddling with the cryptic plans of the Golden Goddesses. But after Sheik finds Link bleeding out in the entrance of Kakariko Village, he is left with no choice but to help the Hero of Time recover from a fatal attack.

    Unknown to him, one tiny ripple with the pillars of fate can change the entire outcome of a journey.

    Both good and bad.

    Title is from Hometown by Twenty One Pilots.

    Summary

    They had taken her brother from her, raised him as a lamb to the slaughter, and then not even granted him the dignity of a proper burial. It was sickening.

    Or

    Link had a little sister, she survived the Calamity but never knew what happened to her brother, until now.

    Summary

    "That's not what they're called," Zelda tells him, "or at least you're the only one I've ever heard use the term."

    "What are they then?" He turns back to look towards the cave it fled to, both the gentle glow and chime of it now faded.

    "Mountain hares, cave hares, blue rabbits. Fairy rabbits in the South East. So where did you get 'Blupee'?"

    He doesn't have an answer.

    Link remembers the lost, and they remember him.

    Summary

    18th Day of the Harpstring Moon

    We ran into some of the other survivors yesterday. Ganon’s army has reached Fort Hateno. The princess was supposedly able to stop the encroaching guardians but Link was apparently fatally wounded as far as anyone else could see. Ayrll doesn’t seem to understand. She thinks that he’ll just need to go see Mipha again.

    I can’t tell her he’s dead.
