A Study in Fate and Prophecy - {Zelda Series Fanfiction}

Of the few historical figures to notably wield the Triforce in its entirety, one stands out in his polarising acts and accomplishments. Few records of his true story remain, whether by deliberate erasure by the generations of the Royal Family that he was succeeded by, or by records being lost en masse during the Second Great Calamity, occurring centuries after the end of his reign. He is not, and will not be remembered as a legend, having lived in an era far from each incarnation of the sacred trio - Link, Princess Zelda and Ganon.

Through years of meticulous research, filtering the rumours from the truth, I have collated the most accurate and extensive database about the reign of King Veridan Argos Hyrule, including records of his fateful journeys and correspondence between those closest to him. Notably, I explore a figure often lost even further to the reaches of historical obscurity, the knight who spontaneously came to serve as his right hand, Lady Phena Clef.

I do not intend for this to be a catch-all, absolute truth, an opinion piece nor a speculative biography - rather, this paper consists of my own findings documented in an accessible and easily-understandable format, in order to shed light on a truth long lost.

A distant prequel to Breath of the Wild, set several centuries prior to the Calamity, framed by a mockup of a Hyrulean historical paper. As the timeline placement makes clear, very largely OC-centric, and a few liberties are taken when glancing into the history of Breath of the Wild's Hyrule. Also present is a little speculation about the Ganondorf corpse in the BotW 2 trailer, and the assumption that Zelda has the entire Triforce in BotW.

Very slow updates, likely to undergo several revisions as I go.
