    Summary

    "Though this is a dream, do not dismiss it as mere fantasy."

    Nine heroes from across three timelines, brought together to fight an ancient evil. You've heard it before, I'm sure.

    But what if?
    What if one of the Heroes wasn't what he claimed?
    What if the Lost Woods never let go of their found child?
    What if the Hero of Warriors bound her chest and spoke without voice?
    What if things were just a little bit different?

    The Chain remains, but its links are rusted.

    Welcome to the Skylands.

    Summary

    The events leading up to the destruction of the Gerudo are a mystery, even to the history books. All they know is that the curse finally took hold of Ganondorf and he destroyed everything. So why is Link having dreams about a city he’s never seen, of a place that couldn’t possibly exist? Rusl thinks it’s a blessing, but Link wonders if it’s actually a curse. The more he travels across Hyrule, the clearer the picture becomes, but there comes a point where he has to decide what to do with that information. He can pretend as much as he’d like, but one way or another, history always has a way of repeating itself.

    OR, the Ganonlink mummy au no one asked for.
