   Summary

   “Memories. Such powerful things. The Slumber of Resurrection damaged you, when it stripped them away.”
   “I’m starting to think it did more harm than good.”
   “Don’t be presumptuous. It’s not an easy thing, to raise the dead.”

   A stylized and non-canon-compliant retelling of Breath of the Wild, exploring the trauma of being brought back from the dead, and Link's struggle to accept his purpose in a world that has taken almost everything from him.

   This work is loosely divided into three acts. Chapters one through six comprise ACT ONE, RESURRECTION.
   Chapters seven through eleven comprise ACT TWO, THE HOLLOW SKY.
   Chapters twelve through nineteen comprise ACT THREE, THE CHILDREN OF HYLIA.
