    Summary

    It doesn’t take long for the rumors to start.

    The Fire Nation prides itself on its civilization. It isn’t like the other, lesser, nations who throw their children away by sending them into war. Those uncultured and unfeeling savages who are destroying their own future faster than the Fire Nation can save them from themselves.

    Every Fire Nation child goes to school. They learn reading and writing, the illustrious history of their country, and what will be expected of them as proper, upstanding Fire Nation citizens. They are to be protected, because children are the future glory of the nation.

    The crown prince is thirteen when his father burns his face in front of an audience of hundreds.

    Summary

    She is actually doing quite well for a time displaced young woman who has just finished a century-long battle with demon, and whose admittedly-few friends are all long dead, and who hasn't used her vocal chords or seen the sun in a hundred years.

    (Intimidating word count, but it’s 4 manageable arcs.)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I gotta save this thing I’m not losing it again

    Summary

    They lay side-by-side on the floor of the Forgotten Temple for some amount of time, lost in regret and devastation and heartache, before Impa wiped her cheeks with a sniffle and pushed herself up from the ground. “We’ll need to start our work immediately if we’re to get her back, then,” she said. “Go wash your face, and I’ll put the kettle on.”

    He blinked. “Impa, the glyphs say it’s not possible.”

    “Oh, Link, old friend, I don’t care what the Zonai thought was possible. Perhaps they didn’t know of a way to reverse the draconification process, but that was so, so very long ago. Think of the legends we’ve recorded over the centuries since, all the many ways that Hyrule has been saved from ruin by unimaginable power — do you think the Zonai really knew everything that would ever come to be?

    “It will be hard to find, certainly, but I believe wholeheartedly that there is something in this land that can bring her back. So unless you don’t think we owe it to our Princess to try, I suggest you get up off the floor, wipe the tears off your face, and get to work.”

    A lore-adjacent explanation for how Zelda might have been restored at the end of Tears of the Kingdom.
