Unbreakable

Summary:

Her legend was past down through the ages, her sole purpose as the harmony between the three Golden Goddesses. She will lead the Hero of Hyrule to his ultimate destination as a friend, as a partner, as the Guide like she has many times before until their timely parting...

Notes:

Hello, everyone! Thank you so much for stopping by and reading my first fic on Ao3! This first chapter is meant to set the ground work of this series so it's going to be a bit slow. Updates will happen sporadically as I'm editing the chapters.

This chapter is heavily inspired by the song “Ólafur Arnalds and Alice Sara Ott - Reminiscences” As I believe it fits the tone very well. Plus it’s good background music!

DISCLAIMER:
I do not own the "Legend of Zelda" in its name, brand, and characters. All respected characters and scenes belong to Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendo, and their developers/directors.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Once upon a time, there existed three Golden Goddesses whom descended upon the land of Hyrule from the heavens. The red goddess, Din who controlled fire and power, cultivated the land and created the red earth while Nayru, the blue goddess of wisdom, with her love of protection, created the laws of magic unto the world. Finally, Farore, the goddess of courage, with her rich and bountiful soul produced all life forms of those whom would uphold the law and land that her sisters had set into place.

 

With their labors completed, the three of them departed back into the heavens but left behind what was then known as the Triforce; three golden triangles, of which held untold power when together. But this power was sought after by many who would mistreat the balance of this power for their own evil deeds. Yet only one creature accomplished the great task of capturing the power of Din. A creature born from the greed and darkness of all living beings in Hyrule, stood at the apex of the lands destruction... It came upon the world in a unrelenting, dark force, with the intent of finding the remaining two powers that had split up from each other.

 

That is until a young girl, the princess of Hyrule, stood against the monster with her mentor by her side. The princess, pure of heart, wielder of the triforce of wisdom, fought against the darkness to free her people of this fear and to end the torment that this dark beast had set upon them. Her mentor, a tall, dark skinned man with hair as red as the blood that soaked this land, stood strong and steady by her side. Both strong physically and mentally, he wielded the triforce of courage and protected his precious student with his magic and swordsmanship.

 

The battle with the creature lasted for many days and nights, longer than what the princess had anticipated with no side showing any signs of winning. The Princess and her mentor grew weaker as time went on until her mentor took a chance and used a forbidden incantation, sacrificing the power of the triforce of courage, he merged the monster's body unto him. The Princess, heartbroken, used the opportunity provided to her by her friend and sealed both the dark beast and her mentor away.

 

Years went by and this story was lost throughout the generations, its truth taken to the other side by the lugubrious princess who had failed to save her teacher in the end. The monster's tale was long forgotten, replaced by the princess's teacher whose image as an honorable man was tarnished with contempt and disgust. His name was long erased to the winds of time, now newly fixed with a vile name that would match his new form...



Ganon...

 

 

As the years went by, decades past within a blink of an eye. The monster toyed with the man’s mind, clouding it in darkness, breaking him down until nothing but hatred would fill his entire being. He was abandoned by his princess. Lost to the darkness, his power grew, slowly seeping out into the world of Hyrule, giving birth to new monsters that would terrorize and kill in his name until the day he would be reborn into the world. As his reincarnations all came and went, his animosity grew. The princess, his princess who had sworn to bring him back from the dark now fought against him with a new hero at her side. A young Hylian boy named Link.

 

 

 

She fought him,

 

 

 

She replaced him...

 

 

 

 

She forgot him.

 

 

 

He abandoned everything; his humanity, forgot his every being to the great dark beast and thus with nothing to get in the monster's way, he grew more powerful... For each time he was destroyed, his dark, wicked magic grew too.

 

The Triforce of power forever locked away within him, never to return to the world of light...

 

The Golden Goddesses, worried for the future of Hyrule, granted life to a soul that had long since past. A woman gifted with the power to fight and who was granted the title of Guide to Hyrule's hero, Link. She would guide the young man to his destiny, would be his partner throughout time. Through thick and thin, she would always be by his side, through every one of his reincarnations.

 

However there was one draw back to this; with every reincarnation, only the Guide would remember. From deep within her timely sleep, she would remember while Link, her long time friend and traveling companion, would never remember her or their past adventures...

 

Realizing what the Golden Goddesses wanted from her, the guide would play her part by leading Hyrule's hero to the ultimate goal: banishing the great evil Ganon, back into the darkness from whence he came.

 

She was the space in between, the harmony of those three great golden forces. She who would hold records of the past timeline, the only one who would remember their truth.

 

She is the guide for Hyrule's champion and the Champion of the Golden Goddesses.
