#calamity spirits au

[ammonitetheseaserpent]

Here’s a masterpost of all my AUs (that I’m keeping) bc I have so. MANY. For the sake of organization I’m gonna divide them into categories:

Amphibia

Scrap-Metal Calamity AU - Mr. X stumbles upon remains from the Cloakbot and uses them to build robots of the Calamtrio to track Anne & the Plantars; they malfunction and gain slightly more… violent intentions. Might do something with this. https://www.tumblr.com/ammonitetheseaserpent/682867934941642752/so-last-night-i-had-a-really-weird-dream-that-one

Eye For 7 Eyes AU - Marcy’s soul gets separated from her body when possessed by the Core. Later on, she gains an opportunity to return the favor. I’ve got a few ideas for this one. https://www.tumblr.com/ammonitetheseaserpent/687632572839346176/another-au-outline-thing-this-one-for-the-eye

Calamity Spirits AU - The gems house spirits who are basically angels of the Guardian, and who provide the girls with an extra bit of challenge, as well as an extra bit of power. Hmmm I’ve got some art ideas. https://www.tumblr.com/ammonitetheseaserpent/687901959418757120/heres-an-official-outline-for-lynxz-studios-and

Brutus Marcy AU - A one-off concept where the stabbing in True Colors gets a role reversal. I’ve uh. Got an animatic in my head for this one. https://www.tumblr.com/ammonitetheseaserpent/679475910403047424/brutus-marcy-au-idea-for-march

The Owl House

Collecting Misfit Toys AU - Where the Collector bonds w/ the Grimwalkers and the spirit of Caleb and starts helping them behind Belos’s back. https://www.tumblr.com/ammonitetheseaserpent/687953936112582656/remember-that-post-i-made-about-that

Spy-Team Stowaway AU - Team RED steals the Collector’s disc after Hollow Mind and, after finding out who he is, does their best to keep him away from Belos. Not sure how much I’ll do with this concept, but it’s fun to think about. https://www.tumblr.com/ammonitetheseaserpent/687879461419581440/tossing-this-au-idea-into-the-masses-team-red

Tide of Tied Minds AU - King experiences the whole TTI visit/connection with the Collector sooner in the story, and so gets more time to bond with them. Comes in the form of a fanfic; first chapter here: https://www.tumblr.com/ammonitetheseaserpent/694878021337989120/tide-of-tied-minds

Sky And Earth AU - Far-off future scenario that focuses on King’s children and grandchildren and their conflicts with the Archivists. Definitely more to come. :3 https://www.tumblr.com/ammonitetheseaserpent/719983575039131648/moar-info-for-my-far-off-future-au-and-my-titan

Crossovers

Marsh Mystic/Double Agent Marcy AU - Andrias decides to use Marcy as a scout for other worlds. He sends her to the demon realm first - where she immediately gets picked up by another manipulative tyrant. Definitely have more to cover w/ this (aka Season 3). For now though, main infodoc is here: https://www.tumblr.com/ammonitetheseaserpent/687530350699855873/haiii-i-realize-i-probably-put-my-revamped-marsh

Platinum Web AU - Smaller AU scenario where the Collector and King end up in the ENA universe; the Collector meets ENA and Moony, and King initially ends up in Hourglass Meadow w/ the Shepherd and her dogs. Help me I’m now brainrotting over the character dynamics I set up https://www.tumblr.com/ammonitetheseaserpent/714281713996627968/screw-it-little-tohxena-crossover-scenario-the

The Wing Clowder AU - Owl House characters as cats in the Warriors universe. Not as invested in this AU as in others, but I might do a thing or two with it. First post here: https://www.tumblr.com/ammonitetheseaserpent/720127619217211392/decided-to-build-on-some-ideas-for-a-warrior

OFF.web AU - The plot of OFF but with ENA characters (with some liberties). Definitely gonna flesh this one out with what characters in which roles in which zones (plus I haven’t seen the entire game yet). Rudimentary plot outlined here: https://www.tumblr.com/ammonitetheseaserpent/716860260218994688/not-me-barely-starting-to-get-into-off-and-already

Jurassic Gems AU - Jurassic World is an ambitious park built by Greg. The CGs are dinosaurs made by InGen, the Homeworld gems are dinosaurs made by BioSyn, and chaos ensues. This is an OLDDD premise, one of the first AUs I made upon coming to this site, and I’m pretty sure the designs are the first things I’ve posted on my art blog. Putting here bc I’m thinking of maaaaybe reviving it. We’ll see *twiddles fingers together sinisterly*

Linktober: Link

“LINK, GET YOUR ARSE IN HERE, NOW!”

In a split second, the atmosphere had turned from warm, mirthful and fun to a stone-cold dread, the group of men freezing on the very spot.

Not once had any of the boys heard you scream like that, not a single time. Sure, they had experienced your frustration, your anger but this wasn’t that. No, nowhere close- this was pure, unfiltered rage, a rage so deadly it seemed to petrify the whole team as all actions paused within the second, petrified as if Medusa herself had walked amongst them turning all to stone.

The gorgon certainly would have been impressed by how still they all seemed.

The look Wind and Spirit shared was a haunted one, not even the most mutilated of ghosts would have caused such a fear between the two, cold and sharp as if death herself had clasped her hand upon the twos shoulder. Both were debating whether or not to book it right then and there, did not matter if they weren’t the cause, the pure emotion behind their shared name was reason enough not to stay.

Four was reaching for the Four Sword, reasoning from the Colours would be the only way of survival- after all you couldn’t chase them all. Hyrule and Twilight faced similar predicaments, you couldn’t chase a wolf nor would you be able to find a hidden fairy, but Goddess did they know you would try.

Wild was already backing out of the room, slowly, as if a bear was staring him down, asking for him to make one wrong move and die by its hand. Though, as of now, he much preferred such a death compared to what waited for him by your hands. 

Courage and Koridai were fighting, clawing at one another, trying to sacrifice each other, pushing selfishly as they both tried to scramble through the door opposite where your voice had come, cursing at the other and pulling at each others’ hair.

Legend was certain that the panic had permanently frozen him in his place, unable to move, unable to speak- it was as if his entire body was encased with ice, eyes wide and waiting for when you came stomping through the door. He considered playing dead, but he knew it was for nought- you would crawl to wherever he ended up and drag him right back to face you.

Mecha was already working through his system, putting every single wire, cog- any and all mechanisms that made up his entire being through hell to shut down the entire system and hide behind the faux appearance of death. His pride told him you would never dare to shout at him, a machine so devoted to you, but reason told him you working to put him back on may calm you down enough from this raging inferno.

The knights had shared the same sense of acceptance, telling themselves they were ready for what you were bringing in those next few moments. An odd calm over all of them, no one shook, no one cried, prayed to the Goddess for aid- no, all were ready, they were made to be ready- they weren’t afraid to die. Warriors, Sky and Calamity had been born for this, carved from the fires of conflict for this very moment.

Finally, Time and First were stoic, faces void of any emotion that currently plagued them. They were trained on the door which you would eventually storm through, still, not an ounce of reaction on their forms as your footsteps began to storm towards them, getting louder by the second.

“LINK WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU I’M GONNA WRING YOUR FUCKING NECK-”

All faces turned to look at the eldest, waiting for reactions.

“Old man…?”

“Gramps?”

Time looked at First; First looked at Time.

They shared an understanding nod before once again facing the group.

“Run.”

“Now.”

Chapter Ten Summary: After so much time on the road they've finally made it to the Gerudo Desert. Zelda is thrilled, and eager to resume their search for Terrako's parts in earnest. Urbosa, however, has other plans. Ones that involve a lot of rest, and some long conversations.

Linked Universe x Reader Fairy Tale Collection

A gift for @luimagines , thank you for listening to my rambles and for writing the original prompt and all your work in the fandom so far, it's just the opening chapter in a full fic, and I'm not fully satisfied with it nor all that good of a writer an English is not my first language, but I did my best XD.

Once again, thank you.

-Just an Anon on a Stroll 🐚/WintertimeStoryteller.

Opening Act, Scene I

It was a cool, beautiful summer night, the fields of Hyrule beautiful under the moon's light, the stars shone, and the fire crackled merrily away. to the side there was the sounds of lighthearted chatter as everyone finished settling in for the night as Wild took over cooking duties, it's been a while since you've started traveling with the Chain and peaceful as it was, traveling on the road for so long and never knowing when you'd all be spirited away again by a portal to face the shadow and it's tricks could leave anyone on edge and homesick.

Hence, with a night as lovely as this, it was the perfect time for stories to get the group to relax, and today was your turn, everyone likes tales of many kinds, and you had many from your world to tell, as many as you remembered anyway, and it was always a treat to see the heroes of Hyrule look forward to you telling them and a balm to your soul and theirs. A simple and nice distraction.

"-And so the doorknob was placed onto the door, everyone in the family and village held their breath, a beat later. And the house was engulfed by a warm, golden light, one of the hinges moving on it's own as if to welcome them all back inside as their gifts returned, causing celebration to spread through the hidden village. Now finally reunited, they could step forward to a brighter tomorrow as one no matter what they'll face, the end." You finished, pausing to take a big breath and a sip of water to soothe your parched throat, trying to condense an entire one hour movie into a a different format can take a lot of time. At least you didn't add in the songs.

Flushing slightly as you try to ignore the eyes of your enraptured audience, had anyone told you a few months before that you'd be stuck in Hyrule with arguably some of the strongest men in it's history in what's basically an almost textbook definition of the Hero's Journey, you'd have probably laughed in their face. Now here you are, telling stories from your world around a campfire, with two long since dozed off Heroes by your side.

Honestly, even if without finding out just how you were going to set up your bedroll with Sky and Wind both pinning your legs down wasn't a minor issue, you probably wouldn't have it any other way.

"That was probably one of the more sweet stories you've told yet." Came from Twilight, ruffling your hair with a smile, Hyrule nodding from his side and chiming in with a head tilt, "It's fairly open ended though, isn't it? It's not like the problem was really solved. What if the house starts cracking again?"

"He's right, it can't have been that simple as just 'hugging and talking it out.'" came the scoff from Legend, derisive as he aided Four in sharpening the Chain's weapons for another day on the road. The smith lightly elbowing him on the side, making you chuckle.

Humming while shifting just enough so your leg won't fall asleep, you answer, "Well, clearly it isn't, problems like the ones told in this story aren't just solved in a day and all. It's difficult to break a bad habit, or to try not to strive for perfection or notice you're wrong. But it's a step in the right direction no? So it's worth something."

"I see, so basically like scars."

"Precisely!" Came your nod to Hyrule as you smiled warmly at him. His ears twitched, how cute, "Can't exactly swing a sword at a wound and hope it goes away after all, it will heal in time, even if the marks remain."

"Have any other good ones for today, o' lauded storyteller? Be a nice thing to fall asleep to, a beautiful voice telling us even more lovely stories." Came a faint nudge from Warriors as he winks, you lightly push him back with a small smack to the shoulder, playful in nature even as he leaned back, mock wounded, it brings a smile to your face, "Flattery will get you nowhere, I did say I'd rotate them didn't I? I won't go back to your favorite just yet."

"Worth a try anyway."

"Oh! Could we maybe have that one about the girl in the tower? It's been a while since you've told that one." Asked Wild eagerly as he handed you a bowl of soup, which you gratefully accepted, it smelled divine and honestly? It is a fantastic motivator in getting you to agree. Besides you can't really go wrong with Rapunzel, it's one of the classics for a reason.

"Or you could surprise us, no pressure." Chimed in Four from his side of camp, "You honestly seem to know a lot of them, why not tell us one you really like instead? To make it fair." He smirks a bit, "Although if one about a certain little brave mice is your favorite..."

"Don't think I don't see your angle mister." You make a small 'I have my eyes on you' gesture towards him, making the Hero of Minish raise his hands in surrender, you both giggle, "Well, I wouldn't say I know that many...", You chuckle sheepishly behind your soup, "I just heard many back home in many ways and my memory is decent enough, is all. Hm... Do you think it's getting too late for one more, Time? I'll retell the one from today later on when it's my turn again, it's only fair everyone gets to hear it rather than miss out since Wind and Sky fell asleep midway too."

The leader of the group, who had just returned from his shift with the Hero of Calamity and The First Hero and was just in the process of putting most of his armor down turned to you, voice steady as he inclines his head, "We'll need to move on early, but there's not too much rush so one more should be fine. Thank you, (Reader)."

"Oh? Find anything interesting?" Asked Warriors, helping Legend and Four organize and put away the weapons (and failing in snagging the fire rod, from what you can see).

"We discovered a village up further ahead, if we all wake up bright and early tomorrow it won't be that much of a walk. It's close by, but it's best if we rest here for today." He nods to you, smiling slightly, it really wasn't much, but it warmed you how eager they all could get for a story, "So by all means, the floor is yours. Let's see what you can come up with."

"No pressure at all with that, I'm totally not nervous." You playfully rolled your eyes.

"Not at all, you have always done a brilliant job without asking for anything back in and out of the battlefield. We have no reason to believe it will be different now when you've been an incredible storyteller as well." Reassured First, coming by to sit by the fire, from the corner of your eye. You see Calamity nodding along, subtly sitting close and leaning against your other side, Wild giving him an amused look at his anticipation but wisely not calling him out on it as he all but threw himself onto Twilight's side, burrowing and getting comfortable underneath his cloak as the Ordonian yelped, almost dropping his soup. Swallowing the last of your soup (and your nerves) along with it and coughing into your fist to hide a blush, regretfully catching sight and ear of affirmations and nods around the camp as the boys rounded up against the hearth as the last of today's chores was done, you wrack your head for words and for which story to tell next.

Staying composed while having the unwavering support and attention of most of the heroes of Hyrule is quite nerve wracking and flattering in equal measure, can anyone blame you for being flustered?

You had already gone through most of the fairy tales from the West, from Snow White to Beauty and the Beast and Rapunzel and now Encanto, there's their original versions, the one's that weren't made into movies that is, but it would likely just put everyone on edge so we'll save those for another day, it's such a lovely night. You'd loathe to make it sour even if most of those had a good ending, but maybe... Something Eastern? To mix it up, a lightbulb goes off in your head as you grin, giggling, you have it! "Alright then, one more, since you all are so eager." You wink, "Usually the audience knows best. Now, let us start." Taking a deep breath, your voice takes on a lighter, soft tone, the heroes get comfortable, all of you miss the glare of crimson eyes deep in the darkness of the woods. Brief as it was, none would look too closely at a dark colored owl after all, "Once upon a time, there was a brave, noble prince, one day. A maddened, dying god attacked his people and he was cursed defending them, fated to die young..."

----------------------------------------------------------

"If you keep glaring like that, your face will get stuck in that ugly expression." Came a lilting, amused tune, poking the owl between the eyes, laughing as it attempted to bite them through the mask, "Although maybe it would be an improvement to that horrible, nasty mug. For a shape shifter you sure don't make good use of your abilities, are you sure you're up to the task? Having an awful looking performer not playing a wretched character is bad for business."

"Silence." Hissed the owl, flying out of their shoulder and, in a twisting, distinctively wrong surge of shadows. A form like a man's stand in front of the masked figure, unnaturally sharp teeth bared into a too wide smile, "You have your job, I have my own. The question is whether you'll deliver or not. Are you ready?"

The voice hummed, smirking as they pat the Shadow's shoulder, lightly pushing him away, "Don't worry your pretty, wretched head about it. You gave me all I need, play nice once they get here. And I'll give you your rupees worth, I'm not know to disappoint." They look up at the moon as the wraith snarls, but vanishes, laughing as they open a leather bound book, "What a lovely night indeed... Now, let's set the stage, and have some fun, shall we?"

Opening Act, End Scene I.

[savimatteo2810]

I don't know what possessed me to do this.

First doesn't know what Pepsi is. That shit isn't invented until Minish Cap at a minimum and therefore is like "Hm I would probably pay x amount for that sounds like people want it". Unfortunately, it is not invented anywhere in his lifetime. Hopefully one of the others will buy him a can of Pepsi.

And meanwhile poor Zedo is outraged lmao the economy really went downhill in the downfall era huh lol

[lune-fox]

Zelda AU I’m cooking up

Ganon (referring to Link): we can get him back to normal!!!

Zelda: he tried to kill us!!!

[ariathenovice3]

I’m making a links meet au, here’s just some info I have in general, might change later

Skyward sword, he and his Zelda are married and have been for nearly 6 years (they are 26 and 25), they don’t have children and it’s a bit of a sore subject for them

Ocarina of Time, he is captain of the royal guard, a widowed father of a 7 year old daughter who lives in castle town, he is 29 at the time of the start

ALTTP,ALBW,LA- he’s 17 and just a few months past links awakening, he’s still caught up with Marin and mourning her even though he’s not even sure if she was ever real,

Loz 1 and Loz 2, he’s 35, he is currently on the run from assassins and always assuming a new identity to avoid them, he’s gotten weirdly good about faking his death

Tp, he is a 28 year old farmer in ordon, he has a on off relationship with a girl there but they arnt serious, he was offered a noble title for his service by the queen but refused because he prefers the simple life

WW/PH- he’s 21, a pirate, and admiral of the newly founded new hyrule

Spirit tracks- he is 15 and really just wants to go home, he is hating every second of this adventure because his first one ended just a few weeks prior

First calamity- she (the rest don’t know she’s a woman) is a half gerudo- half hylain noble woman who pulled the master sword when she was 14, disguised herself as a man, and became the hero, killing calamity Gannon when she was 17, she’s currently 19

BotW/TotK- he is 21 and Janet gone on his journey in TotK yet (because I haven’t beaten the game and don’t know how it plays out yet), so he is just the hero of the wild now, he currently lives with his Zelda

[ammonitetheseaserpent]

Here’s an official outline for @lynxz-studios and I’s AU, the Calamity Spirits AU!

Background

When the Guardian created the Calamity Stones, they also created three corresponding angels, of a sort, that the gems would house. These angels would watch over each set of gem wielders to make sure they were “worthy”.

The Heart gem is inhabited by a giant wolf named Lunimus, a huge lioness named Virsol resides in the Strength gem, and the Wit gem has a massive raven named Sagacella. These names, however, are not revealed to anyone except gem wielders who are deemed worthy. So, to most, they are simply named after their gems’ respective attributes of Heart, Strength and Wit.

They’re kind of foils to the Calamtrio, in a way - wild, free reflections of their gem aspects, completely sure of who they are. Lunimus is adaptable and driven by instinct, knowing intuitively who he can and cannot rely on. Virsol is confident, powerful and unwavering, knowing what she’s capable of and how to use her strength. Sagacella is resourceful and cunning, knowing what they want and how to get it - no matter what obstacles stand in their way.

Show Events

When the Calamtrio are initially connected to the gems, the power between them is very wild and uncontrolled. They become even more so after everything that goes down in TC, as the spirits become dissatisfied with the humans - which is a big part of the reason Anne’s powers take so much out of her, and why using them feels bad (aside from the fact that she’s only half-connected to the Heart gem).

At some point during Season 3 (maybe All In?) the spirits “test” the Calamtrio by exposing them to all their insecurities, and after a tough time, the human trio come out successful, and prove how they’ve all changed for the better. Anne affirms to Lunimus that she knows who she is now, and though she’s been wronged, she won’t let that define her, and if the hard path will end up being better for herself and the ones she loves, then that’s the one she’s going to take. Sasha tells Virsol that she’s not that person anymore, that she wants to cooperate, not control, and that her days of manipulation to get what she wants are over. Marcy admits to Sagacella that her trying to escape reality is what ended up hurting herself and those around her, and affirms that she doesn’t want to live a sugar-coated lie anymore.

After the Calamtrio “beat” the spirits, they reveal their true names and become willing to give the humans full access to the powers - which they end up doing in The Hardest Thing, of course.

When Anne is sent back after dying, she’s sent back with reformed, normal-animal-sized versions of the Calamity Spirits, who have just enough inter-dimensional power left to take themselves and the Calamtrio to the human realm one last time. The Guardian intends for their angels to watch over these humans from the earth, granting them one last piece of Amphibia.

The spirits still retain a bit of magic. Lunimus is able to soothe those around him, allowing them to think more clearly, and is attuned to the emotions of others. Virsol is able to strengthen one’s resolve, and has a lot of endurance herself. Sagacella can read the thoughts of others, and open their mind to communicate things to a person, even over a distance.

Once they “reform” they develop their own personalities. Lunimus is the titular “little brother” of the group, with a bit of a tendency towards brattiness and melodrama. Virsol is like a protective older sister with a burning curiosity streak - you will not like her when she’s bored. Sagacella has massive “oldest sibling that doubles as a semi-parent” vibes. They sometimes have to stop the other two from squabbling, which is easier some times than others - Virsol is at their complete mercy, while Lunimus is more rebellious towards them.

[linked-through-the-centuries]

I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this at all yet, but the story begins with the Links finding themselves in an unfamiliar place (which is a sort of ‘in between era’ that is as vast as the BOTW map, the era is quite large). It’s morning when they all wake up alone in different parts of the land, even though none of them remember going to bed the night before, and most of the supplies they’d had just they day before are gone. Everyone is allowed ‘one’ item, so here is the list of what everyone has to start off with:

Warriors: All 8 knives he keeps hidden on his body at any given time. He is never without them and whatever brought him here didn’t dare take those from him. He is however missing his sword and fire rod and everything else, but he was allowed his 8 small knives. They’re counted as one weapon

Tears: They got extremely lucky and have their entire slate with their full inventory. Their ‘one item’ is quite a lot of things all packed in one slate

Wolf/Twilight: Nothing technically, his crystal is the one thing he was allowed but it’s already in use so all he has is his wolf form

Sky: Goddess harp. Not the most useful thing in a fight, but it brings him comfort and he’s resourceful enough, he’ll find something

Tune: The Wind Waker

Hyrule: The white sword

Past: His staff that he uses both as a mobility aid on bad pain days, but also as something to hit people with ans something to ‘channel his magic’ (which is more of a mental hurdle. He doesn’t actually need the staff to do magic but he feels better if he has it). It’s incredibly durable and very ornate

Calamity: Royal Bow [Edited 4/3/24]

Mask: His plus one is technically the Fierce Diety, but he has basically nothing because the deity is oddly silent and Mask can’t seem to draw on his power at all (there’s a post titled ‘Fun Facts About Mask’ on my page that goes more in depth about how his situation with the deity works)

Spirit: Lokomo Sword

Minish: The Four Sword

If you have any questions don’t hesitate to send an ask!! I’m working on writing the first few chapters and I really hope to post them soon :)

Alright so I was planning on uploading a timeline for awhile now and originally had just written it but then I started doodling the expressions seen in this picture and decided to use those. To explain the fallen timeline is the "True" timeline for my AU which is why it goes to the end as seen. I also tried to label the connections between different characters which are further explained in their Character Reference Links.

As for the red areas behind some of the Links I wanted to make a visual of which points in the timeline are connected through Hyrule Warriors, I'm debating on adding Shade but I'll worry about that later.

Below the cut I have a page of just the expressions which should hopefully be easier to zoom in on as well as the Expressions Meme that I used for reference.

Chapter: 1/20

Words: 10,053

Summary: It was over, the Calamity was dead. After weeks of fighting alongside her Champions and their allies from the future, the Princess and her Hero had vanquished the beast once and for all. With the kingdom freed from Ganon's hatred things have begun to return to peaceful normalcy. With this newfound normal, however, Zelda finds herself confronted with an entirely new battle awaiting her in the not-so-distant future.

Unsure of who she truly is anymore, Zelda reaches out for the aid of Spirit and Ghost, the Princess and Hero from the future that never would be who are trapped in the past after the destruction of Terrako. Together, alongside her own Hero, Zelda sets out for the far corners of Hyrule to find the pieces to repair the time traveling guardian–and herself along the way.

(AoC au where post calamity BotW Link and Zelda are sent back in time too)

Ancient Loz AU Story

10,000 years before the events of BOTW the Princess of Hyrule and the Hero who wields the sword that seals the Darkness first fought off the Calamity. With the help of the Sheikah, Guardians, Champions and the Divine Beasts. However, the hero and her best friend; the Prince of the Gerudo, were now missing. The only one to return from the fight was the Princess… Bloodied and bruised. She emerged from the castle alone. No longer the energetic, and free spirited person she used to be. Now, she is filled with a sole dedication to her Kingdom. But cold, and filled with deep sorrow. She orders the Sheikah to create shrines to train the next hero.They prepare the towers, store the Guardians under the castle till they are needed. Research started on the slate where it can be used for building infrastructure and even battle. Anything to help prepare for another Calamity.

The Gerudo Prince wasn't seen again and the heroes identity was forgotten But, the Royal blood of Hylia lives on….

Link is from a traveling caravan. His family has blood from the ancient Zonai tribe. He travels with a decent size troupe along with his sister, father and grandmother.

He meets Zelda during a festival where he was entering an archery contest in castletown. Zelda, who was disguised as Sheik, was also entering. She beat him at the contest(barely), but was extremely bothered by how good he was.

The festival goes on for about 3 days and at the end there is the sword ceremony where all the people coming of age(18) can attempt to pull the sword. She was presiding over it and witnessed him pull the sword and his whole life change. Not long after they meet officially and Link is appointed as her Knight; She introduces him to Ganondorf, her best friend from childhood.

And the chaos and comrade-ere ensues~

Over 3 years they travel, train, fall in love and wait for the day when the evil is supposed to show itself. With no sign of the great evil, they start to relax a bit. But that is when it strikes. Ganon travelling by himself at this time. Explores a cave in the Gerudo desert and encounters something ominous. Whispers in the dark speak to him and his fears and wants and his distaste for the King of Hyrule…. The voice is familiar, much too familiar, and before he can fight back it consumes him. When he awakes he is alone. He isn't instantly ‘evil’ but over time it twists his thoughts and actions. His closest friends and mother grow concerned. He becomes harsher and radical. Cruel. During a secret meeting with the King, Ganon assassinates him. Zelda happens upon Ganon covered in blood. She thinks he's hurt and is concerned by his behavior the past year. He snaps. He tells her every dark thing he has been thinking, and that he killed her father. In shock, and devastated, she can’t move as Ganon is about to strike her. But Link manages to get to her in time because the master sword was glowing, something he has never seen before but an instinct so old took over him. He races to escape with her. Ganon takes over the castle. But only as a steward because the King and the Princess are nowhere to be found. No one is the wiser to his malevolent plots. Yet. He knows she has to act fast since Zelda and Link escaped.

Zelda and Link make it all the way to Kakariko Village and Impa and they are all Informed that the Calamity is upon them. No one can believe it is their Ganondorf who is doing this but it is undeniable. They grieve, but they must act fast. With the help of the Sheikah they gather the guardians, monks and send word to the Races and Champions to prepare for battle. Zelda listens as Link hums an old Zonai Lullaby his mother used to sing to him. And it makes her remember something she read about. A story about there being an ancient Zonai device below the castle that would help defeat the Demon King.

Impa knows the tunnels She can help them sneak in. So they prepare to infiltrate the castle.

Under the castle they find the Zonai Artifacts that were left behind for sealing the great evil.

Ganon's followers saw them enter however and informed him. Knowing this is his chance he stops all pretenses and releases his power. Unleashing a mob of monsters and a cloud of malace into the castle and across Hyrule. But the Champions and Shekah are prepared to meet them.

Looking around for any clue. Trying to think of anything they read or that Link heard from his family that could be used to turn on the sealing jewelry. They don’t know how to activate it, but Ganon is going to be upon them soon as they had to fight through hordes of monsters beforehand.

Out of the dark behind them he emerges.

Zelda and Link manage to avoid the surprise attack. They both go on the defensive. They fight and try to reason with him. They can’t believe this is their friend, their lover. The fight is tough, because they all know each other's moves after training together for years along with the emotional turmoil. Zelda tells Link he needs to figure out how to activate the artifact if they are to succeed. She will hold him off. But by this point they are both exhausted.

Ganon manages to cut Link, spraying blood over the floor and the statue. Link falls to the floor and Ganon towers over him ready to strike him down, but Zelda blasts him away. Ganon turns his attention to her. Annoyed with her meddling and manages to land a blow on her also. Cutting the tip of her right ear off.

The statue lights up from the blood. The blood of a zonai. That  was another part of the Lullaby from Links family Zelda realizes. The Jewelry glows and expands before flying off the wrists of the statue to Link. He is surrounded by a green glowing light that blasts Ganon and Zelda back. The bands constrict around his arms and legs disintegrating the clothing underneath. He screams. Zelda watches on in horror as Link transforms before her. His skin is turning black and his bones and skin stretch until he is 6 ft tall. What did she get him into? This was supposed to help them what was happening… She is living in a nightmare. What else will she have to give up. She cries as she looks at him, feeling his pain and fear. His hair band she had given him falls from his hair. Rolling across the floor towards her. “..Zelda….” He says 

She picks up the hair band and goes to him! But he is not really responding. He is restrained and struggling within himself. His head is filled with the spirits of the Zonai he knows what he must do…he knows this is the last time he will see Zelda and Ganon. To seal the Demon King he must sacrifice himself. He says the last part of the Lullaby to Zelda and she knows. This is it. She kisses him. Though a bit strange now that he's so tall and his lips are cold. Ganon is getting up across the cavern from them, laughing. He mocks them and their weak attempts at thwarting him. One last clash. Zelda manages to get his weapon from him and Link plunges his arm into Ganons chest activating the sealing power. Glowing green. They both freeze in place and all is quiet. Entombed under the castle. The malice and monsters disappear. Zelda cautiously goes up to them. She doesn't touch them lest she break the spell somehow. The only thing she does is grab the hair bangle that fell to the floor in the final fight. It was the one from Ganon’s hair. And she left for the surface.

Alone.
