This book tells the story of the main protagonists, the hero Link and Princess Zelda, from Nintendo's popular video game series, The Legend of Zelda, immediately following the events of the Tears of the Kingdom (TotK) game, released on the Nintendo Switch in May 2023. This book thoroughly explores the lives of Link and Zelda after TotK as envisioned by the author. It shows how these characters grow from their struggles and adapts story elements not portrayed in the video game series.
The book includes flashbacks and references to TotK and Breath of the Wild (BotW) game, the prequel to TotK released on the Nintendo Switch in March 2017. These are used to relate past events to plot points of the main story in this book and fill in gaps between TotK and BotW. In the context of this book, all story elements from both TotK and BotW are considered canon. This book makes slight story alterations to events in both TotK and BotW to tie together its narrative. Detailed references to Hyrule's history and past are also explored, aligning to the canon of past games. Although events from past games are referenced, specific details of those events are not portrayed in this book.
This book includes major plot twists throughout, but ultimately focuses on developing the main protagonists by allowing them to grow beyond their past duties to see what they both truly can become together. It does include intimate encounters between characters.
This book also includes detailed imagery of Hyrule's landscape and locations, as well as physical, emotional, and mental traits of recurring characters, allowing them to grow as characters. This book focuses on including characters and content from TotK and BotW versus creating new characters and places. Although some new characters are introduced, this book seeks to align itself to the narrative of TotK and BotW's stories, but expand upon them with new detail.
Lastly, this book assumes some prior knowledge of TotK and BotW, but is not required. This book fills in pertinent details to help those without this knowledge.
Finally, at this time of writing, the book is considered ongoing; meaning the author is continuously publishing new chapters as regularly as possible.
