**ON HIATUS** Our past (A Modern/Medieval Zelink fanfic)

Our Light.

Link POV

I woke up one day with no memories at all. Like I had just been born.

Link..Link..Link.

I opened my eyes, my whole body feeling sore. I assumed I had been laying down for a long time.

I looked around the room I was in, not able to see much. I was under a blue light, my underwear slightly damp from the water I was in.

I stood up, wanting to figure out what was going on. I walked over to a pedestal near the door, and there was a peculiar device sitting on it.

That is a Sheikah Slate. Take it.

A voice echoed in my head, somewhat familiar, but I couldn't place my finger on it. However, the voice gave me a sense of comfort.

I picked up the small device, and it glowed, making a strange beeping noise. I buckled it onto my belt, deciding to investigate it later.

The door slowly opened, and I walked into another room. I found some old clothes laying around, putting them on. I then walked up to the door, and the voice told me to put the device on the nearby pedestal.

So, I did, and the door opened.

Link..You are the light-Our Light-That must shine upon Hyrule once again..Now, go..

Somehow, I felt like the voice was someone I knew, telling me where to go. So I listened.

I walked out of the place I was in, and I walked up to the end of the cliff. I could see a vast land.

There was a volcano in the distance, smoke billowing out the top. To the west, there was some snowy mountains with a desert below them. To the east, there was a mountain split in half. Finally, to the northeast, there was a huge object in the sky.

Just what is this place..? I thought.

After meeting an old man and adding new "Powers" to this strange device I had acquired, I was told to go to where the four shrines met.

After what felt like forever of walking, I managed to find the man at the top of the ruined temple. Just walking by it gave me chills.

Once I got to the top, the old man told me it was time he introduced who he really was. So, with a blinding light, his appearance changed, and he began speaking.

"I am King Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule. I was...the last leader of Hyrule. A kingdom which no longer exists. The Great Calamity was merciliess... It devastated everything in its path, lo, a century ago. It was then that my life was taken away from me. And since that time, here I have remained in spirit form.

I did not think it wise to overwhelm you while your memory was still fragile. So rather than that, I thought it best to assume a temporary form. Forgive me." The King nodded sincerely, then turned to face the castle in the distance, "I think you are now ready. Ready to hear what happened 100 years ago.

To know the know Calamity Ganon's true form, one must know the story from an age long past. The demon King was born into this kingdom, but his transformation into Malice created the horror you see now. Stories of Ganon were passed from generation to generation in the form of legends and fairy tales, but there was also... a prophecy." He closed his eyes, taking a breath before continuing.

''The signs of a resurrection of Calamity Ganon are clear. And the power to oppose it lies dormant beneath the ground.''

"We decided to heed the prophecy and began excavating large areas of land. It wasn't long before we discovered several ancient relics made by the hands of our distant ancestors. These relics, the Divine Beasts, were giant machines piloted by warriors. We also found the Guardians, an army of mechanical soldiers who fought autonomously. This coincided with ancient legends, oft repeated throughout our land. We also learned of a princess with sacred power and her appointed knight, chosen by the sword that seals the darkness. It was they who sealed Ganon away using the power of these ancient relics. One hundred years ago, there was a princess set to inherit a sacred power and a skilled knight at her side. It was clear that we must follow our ancestors' path.

A skilled individual was picked from throughout the land of Hyrule, to pilot the Divine beasts. With the princess as their commander, we dubbed these pilots Champions - a name that would solidify their unique bond. The princess, her appointed knight, and the rest of the Champions were on the brink of sealing away Ganon... But nay... Ganon was cunning, and he responded with a plan beyond our imagining. He appeared from deep below Hyrule Castle, seized control of the Guardians and the Divine Beasts, and turned them against us. The Champions lost their lives. Those residing in the castle as well. The appointed knight, gravely wounded, collapsed while defending the princess...

And thus, the kingdom of Hyrule was devastated absolutely by Calamity Ganon. However... The princess survived... to face Ganon alone. ''

"Link, you are our final hope. The fate of Hyrule rests with you."

That Princess was my own daughter... My dear Zelda. And the courageous knight who protected her right up to the very end...That knight was none other than you, Link. You fought valiantly when your fate took an unfortunate turn. And then, you were taken to the Shrine of Resurrection. Here you now stand revitalized, 100 years later. The words of guidance you have been hearing since your awakening are from Princess Zelda herself. Even now, as she works to restrain Ganon from within Hyrule Castle, she calls out for your help.

Seeing as I could not protect my own kingdom, I have no right to ask this of you, Link.. But save her.. save my daughter. Save princess Zelda."

With that, the man disappeared without a trace.

I made my way off of what I found out was called the Great Plateau, my mind boggling.

Me? A knight? No way.

I didn't believe half of what the old man said, I just went along with him for his sake.

Then again..How do I know it isn't true? I asked myself.

I shook my head, looking around me. I was walking down the path to the mountain that had been split in half, the dueling peaks.

The old man advised me to seek out the elder, Impa, to learn more about what had happened 100 years ago.

So, off I went, searching for answers on a journey I knew would be longer than I could anticipate.

Zelda POV

Link had finally woke up. It had been 100 years since he was put in the Shrine of Resurrection.

We discovered the ancient shrine around the same time we uncovered the divine beasts and the guardians. It had never been tested, so putting Link it in was a risk.

I had faith, however. I had faith he'd return to us. I would wait a thousand years for him to return.

Since then, I had been in this endless void. An invisible wall separated Ganondorf and I, so we literally sat there for a whole 100 years. I could tell he was getting stronger, but I was getting weaker.

By the first 50 years, my legs had gave out, and I couldn't stand. By 100 years, I leaned against the wall, my eyelids heavy.

"It seems he's awake." Ganondorf said.

"No shit." I retorted, annoyed at his constant presence.

"Hm. Your rudeness does not make me want to keep you alive once I take over." He said, and I rolled my eyes.

"You won't win." I told him, and he laughed.

Link..Please Hurry..My power is dwindling..
