They call him Rat-a child of the Yiga, cast down into the darkness. Surviving in the Depths, he lives for vengeance against the swordsman Link.
When Rat's battle with the hero takes an unexpected turn, he lands at the mercy of the man he tried to kill. He discovers Link is not as callous as he believed. There's a man behind the hero, with his own struggles and dreams, who might be worthy of Rat's respect, maybe even his trust.
But the Yiga don't forget, and they don't forgive. As Rat's loyalties shift, he finds himself on the run for his life. To earn his freedom and save his newfound family, he'll have to face his past and return to the Depths, and become his own kind of hero.

Between Timelines: A Legend of Zelda Fanfic
One year ago, Link defeated Ganon, freeing Zelda and saving Hyrule. After not having seen Link in many months, they are finally reunited at Zelda's coronation on her 18th birthday. The circumstances of their meeting, however, are not what either of them imagined. This story takes places between the end of the botw story line and the beginning of the totk story line, and tells the story of what happened in that time. P.S. this is a zelink story, but there will only be fluff here, sorry :) Disclaimer: the characters in this story are not mine, they belong to Nintendo, and the cover art is not mine either.
