Gloomcaller (The Legend of Zelda BoTW/ToTK x Male Reader)

(Cover designed by @Imitoni)

All, without exception, look back to the days of the Calamity with dread.

Over 100 years ago, when Calamity Ganon awoke despite the best efforts of four Champions, a legendary swordsman, and a brave princess with only a power she had yet to unlock.

Of those days, everyone could only look back with horror at the fates of the four champions, locked away and killed. The Swordsman meant to face Ganon, slain in a field. The princess, locked away in a Hyrule Castle now held by the same monsters it once drove away,

Of those days, people only remember the slain...

Now, 100 years later, a harbinger of the death that once came still roams free. An agent of the Calamity, frozen in youth, forever roaming at the will of the Calamity that brought him in.

You, the Calamity's own warrior, nearly forgotten by legend. Drifting from town to town, stable to stable, alone with your thoughts, all until the same swordsman of days past somehow rises again, leading you to your greatest journey, both across the great lands of Hyrule, and through the depths of your mind, in painful reflection. Either way, your goal was clear:

You needed to kill Link.
