    Summary

    She had spent years learning about the prophecy and urgency of defeating Calamity Ganon. But in all her years of prayer and study, nobody ever talked about what happens after. What happens to heroes when there are no more villains? Where does the incarnation of the Goddess go when prayers are for bountiful harvests and not for the demise of a great evil? What happens to a princess without a kingdom? Who needs an heir to a throne of nothing?

     

    --

    Post-Calamity, Zelda figures out what it means to be alive in a world that is both achingly familiar and terrifyingly foreign. Another puzzle in this new Hyrule: Link, part stranger, part beloved, still constantly, unfailingly at her side.

    Post BoTW, ZeLink, One shot.

    Summary

    “You don’t have to be with me here, you know,” Zelda said. The breeze over Hyrule field was hitting her bare shoulders. She tried not to shiver. She knew Link would offer her his shirt or his cloak if she did. She didn’t want that— she’d already taken so much from him.

    Link snorted, crouching by the fire. “Where else would I be?” he said, his tone amused, almost like he was humoring her.

    “I don’t know,” she said, looking into the fire, her eyes glassy, “anywhere.”

    Summary

    A ghost told Link a story once. In this story, everyone died on a burning field.

    There were two survivors –– the lovelorn princess and her battered knight, cursed in cruel mercy to a century in purgatory and a memory so shattered and broken that it was impossible to put the shards back where they fit.

    He learned atop the Temple of Time, the dilapidated ruins where his ancestors’ ancestors’ ancestors once stood, that Hyrule had sustained itself on nothing more than stories for ten thousand years. Evil collected underneath the marble floors of Hyrule Castle for centuries. Hyrule had almost unlimited time to find a way to stop it, and yet they waited for two characters out of a fable to save them. Why was anyone surprised when the myth couldn’t sustain itself? Salvation is not the job of two children, regardless of the lofty titles placed over their heads.

    But this isn’t a story about a knight. It’s not a story about a princess. This is a story about the aftermath of stories.

    This is, ostensibly, a story about a dog.

    Link, Zelda, and a never-ending story.
