Summary
Link is struggling after the defeat of Calamity Ganon. Plagued by the guilt from lives lost in the calamity as well as the trauma Zelda and the champions endured while waiting for him to return, he retreats to his house in Hateano village where he plans to remain alone. Worst of all he believes his relationship with his love Mipha, to be forever ruined.
However, after Link has a panic attack during Zelda’s coronation, Zelda and the others are no longer able to ignore Link’s declining mental health. Not knowing what else to do, Zelda sends Link to live in Zora’s Domain, his childhood home, indefinitely. Link resents her order, but a plot from the Yiga clan to enact revenge on Zelda and Link for the defeat of Ganon just might bring him and Mipha closer together again, as well as allow link to repair his relationships with his friends.
This story takes place in an alternate universe where the champions were possessed by the blight Ganons and survived in stasis until Link freed the Divine Beasts.
