Summary
The Demon King has been defeated, but some things can't be undone. Link loses his arm to gloom, and Zelda's draconification can only partially be reversed. The two are left to navigate just how much they have been changed by what happened. It's a lot harder to do when all of Hyrule expects them to be the same.

Summary
Following the Yiga attack at Kara Kara Bazaar, Urbosa seeks out Link to make sure he is okay, and finds kinship in someone else who knows what it means to fall in love with a goddess.
[Tonight she is a third thing, and that third thing feels infinitely more important than either of her other roles. And tonight, she is nothing but angry at the world that put these children in the positions they are in.]

Summary
A silent princess is like the sun: felt and admired by all. She is light, and warmth, and promise. She weeps a single tear for the fallen, speaks a gentle word of praise, and retires gracefully from the public eye between engagements.
If this is the life Zelda must submit to after one hundred years of struggling against the darkness, then maybe Hyrule doesn't need a princess anymore.

Summary
My teacher always advised me to write songs that transport the listener to the moment in time you're singing of. Now...I finally feel I understand what he meant.
100 years ago he was a hero, a Champion, a son, a brother, and a friend—or so the stories go.
Now the song takes him back to the life he lost, and lights the way to the life he can regain.

Summary
A century ago, Link walked behind her. Steps in sync with hers, eyes always upon her back, his face a mask of indifference. Zelda wanted nothing more than to rid herself of his constant presence.
Five years ago, he walked beside her. A smile upon his face, mischief in his eyes, his expressions loud and free. Zelda basked in their joint freedom, their choices finally uninhibited.
Now, he walks before her. Sword drawn, eyes vigilant, ready to shield her from any danger, to keep her from being torn away from him once again. Zelda, truthfully, is at a loss for how to react.
A look at their lives before the Calamity, after the Calamity, and after the Upheaval.
