    Summary

    "..."

    "...Link...Wake up."

    "...Link...Open your eyes."

    "Link."

    -----

    100 years after the events of the Calamity, Hyrule still lies on the verge of annihilation. The Princess, the King, and the five Champions were believed to be dead. However, the Princess and the fifth Champion are still alive...

    With Tears of the Kingdom released, I thought it'd be nice to remember the tale before it.

    Follow Link on a magical journey through Hyrule with his trusty companion, Tech, in this retelling of a beloved story, but with a twist.

    Find out what happened to Hyrule and unlock secrets about the distant past, all while trying to save Hyrule before time runs out! Can our Heroes do it? Read to find out!

    Disclaimer: Rights of the storyline goes to Nintendo as well as the characters for Zelda. Rights go to Lucasfilm for Star Wars things.

    Note: It'll have some fanart done by other artists and me, and it'll have the BotW OST.

    Summary

    To the public, a group of vigilante's has come to get justice for the people of Greater Hyrule. Mysterious heroes doing the wrong thing for the right reason.
