Summary
Before the memory of kingdoms, when the heavens were yet unmeasured and the earth lay formless, there arose the first decree of the Goddess. From her word sprang the shaping of realms, the dividing of light and shadow, and the deep foundations of Hyrule that were set beyond the reach of time. Yet with creation there stirred a discord, for in the abyss lingered the Malorum, the brood of corruption.
Thus was begun the Initium of the Goddess: her breath as flame, her tears as waters, her hand as firmament. Yet against the glory of her weaving rose the requiem of Hell, a dirge unyielding that would bind the world in darkness, were it not stilled by her decree. In those days the first wars were waged, not by men nor by kings, but by the powers themselves: the heralds of the abyss contending with the hosts of heaven, and the earth trembling beneath their strife.
This is the tale before the Legend, the hidden root beneath all branches of the Song of Hyrule: how the Goddess gave measure to the void, how the first malice was named and cast down, and how the black triangle — the seed of the Triforce — was set in shadow, awaiting the day when light should cleave it into three.

Summary
Il était une fois un héros. Pas celui qui tira de son socle la future lame purificatrice. Pas ceux qui suivirent, les inconnus qui coururent sauver le monde pour en éviter sa fin. Pas même les derniers, ceux qui achevaient le travail de leurs aînés. Non, il était une fois un héros, le premier.
Le premier héros était une femme.

Summary
Hylia’s duty is to protect the essence of the might of the Gods of Old. Any previous freedoms are carefully checked. Strumming Her golden harp and singing in the open is no longer an option – words carry power, Hers more than others, and She does not want to attract unnecessary attention. Integrating Herself at all in mortal life is also off-limits. They are the pride of the Golden Goddesses’ creation, and they are flawed beyond belief.
Power corrupts. Wisdom advises. Courage motivates. The mortals are a confounding collection of these three traits, and every aspect is a danger to Her task. She cannot afford for them to learn of the energy in Her grasp. It will spell failure for everyone involved.
So, for eons, She hides.

Summary
Supervising shipments had never been a part of their job description, but nowadays Toshi was one of the few Sheikah left at the Mining Facility and the responsibility had unfortunately fallen on their shoulders. Many others left the facility after excavation and refinement of Timeshift Stones became fully automated. There was little need for human intervention; the robots almost entirely self-sufficient save for the odd repair.
One day, the robots wouldn’t need them at all.

Summary
“Tell me the truth,” she commanded. “How proficient are you right now, wielding that sword on your back? Legend says that an ancient voice resonates inside it. Can you hear it yet, Hero?”
That night, he dreamt again of that moment. His answer had been a mere shake of the head. It was true, after all. He had never heard the voice of the spirit that was supposed to dwell within the blessed sword. And there was no reason to discourage the princess further, making her feel as if she were the only one lacking, by telling her what he had experienced instead. But ever since he had pulled the sword from its pedestal deep in Korok Forest, it had brought him dreams of the Links who had gone before.
OR Link feels like a failure after finding out about his death a hundred years ago. A previous Link has quite a bit to say about that.
