The Hylia goddess is dying. The great Deku tree is lost. Hyrule is broken. Dear Traveler, It has been thousands of years since the last great calamity. Since the last hero took up that sacred blade and banished Ganon in the twilight realm of Eklipsis. Since then, those stories of history slowly turned to legend and fable. Tales of great Fairies, the master sword, and the demon known as Ganon eroded from the memories of this Hylian kingdom. Seeping into the shadows of history. Only something grows in this shadow. A darkness that has not forgotten-will not forget what has been done to it. Will not stop before it has fulfilled its mission. But for every darkness Traveler, there is light. Before the darkness takes hold, as it does to all of us, there will always be light. From a young, naive farmer boy to the man who will one day cut down the heart of evil once and for all. Follow along as an old Link recounts his life story in this first-person narrative.

In this sequel to Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, Princess Zelda, anxious to finish the restoration of the miniature guardian Terrako, eagerly awaits the return of Link, who has for months been deployed to the cold region of Hebra and now holds the final piece to restoring the little knight. But though the calamity is gone, darkness is brewing in distant lands. Reunited once more, the princess and her loyal knight set out to face a threat that will push them to their limits. Together they must conquer their demons and face their destinies, lest the dark power overtake them and consume them all. ... This story is set about one year after the events of the game, and heavily incorporates elements of that, as well as other LOZ games. As Majora's Mask was the first 3D Zelda game I ever played, this is a love letter to that work, as well as to the wild era games. For the past ten months, I have worked extremely hard to bring this tale to life, struggling late into the night and even praying for help as I've crafted each element of the story. I hope you enjoy it! *I do not own any of the characters or cover art in this fan fiction, which is meant solely for entertainment purposes. All rights to Nintendo. CONTENT ADVISORY: There is no smut in this story, but there are descriptions of things such as blood, dead bodies, skeletons and other monsters that may be frightening for younger readers. A big shout out to my wonderful wife who patiently listened to every chapter. Thanks for being my best friend. :) Dedicated to the Giver of all good things.

A year after the Calamity was prevented, Hyrule stands tall again - but peace comes with a price. With the kingdom nearly restored, Zelda prepares to release the Champions and Link from their duties.

As echoes twist reality and forgotten threats reawaken, the heroes must rise once more - not as Champions, but as the warriors this new age demands.
