Summary
This is just a collection of different oneshots and snippet ideas I have for BOTW/TOTK, because I'm just obsessed. As a disclaimer I haven't beaten TOTK yet, I'm still actively playing, so anything I write about that is similar to the actual ending and such is purely coincidental and is just meant to be my own take. I'll try not to give any spoilers for those who haven't gotten the game yet! But I'll try to warn in case I do add any in the chapters.

Something in his chest went awry. He recognized it as a pain so strange to him now- one that he had gone some number of years without feeling.
