Hello! This is my shot at writing a Zelda fanfiction. This story is kinda like an AU in the sense that it doesn't follow the plot of any of the games. This is my own made up story that takes place after OoT.
This story is rated T just in case. It will generally be K+ the whole time.
Disclaimer: I, unfortunately, do not own the Zelda franchise. Nintendo beat me to it. Many of the characters you will meet were made by friends or family members of mine, and they will be properly credited for them when they appear.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy!

Legend claims that all the realms ruled over by the Hylian Empire were connected as one. Long ago, this land, known as Hyrule, was threatened and nearly destroyed by an evil force who controlled a relic of unimaginable power. He burdened the world for seven long years. His final plans nearly succeeded, but were thwarted by a hero clothed in green and wielding a legendary blade. The hero, with his pure heart and courageous spirit, prevailed, and all of Hyrule rejoiced.
Peace filled the land for hundreds of years. The land prospered and thrived. Towns sprang up from the ground, cities advanced and changed, and the people spread far and wide. Everything was as perfect as could be, and the great evil was forgotten by everyone but the members of the royal family...however, it soon became clear to all that the evil that had once attempted to take the kingdom was returning, and was stronger than before.
The king made sure to spread the tale of the green hero to all, hoping to inspire his citizens and bring a new savior to the land. Soon every man woman and child knew the story of the hero of time. The faith of the people grew with the hope that their time of peace would return.
But the hero did not come. The faith and hopes of the citizens faded away and evil spread, affecting all races and peoples alike.
Hyrule was shattered in a last attempt to save its people, and the evil was banished to darkest realm of the newly shattered world in the hope that it would remain lost Each new realm rose from the ashes and grew again, stronger than before. The land was as it is now, divided in 11 realms connected only by small dimensional rifts and united by the Hylian Empire.
The evil was gone again, but it still lived on in stories and the legends that were told throughout the land.

A bolt of lightning flashed overhead in an unnaturally dark and stormy sky. Thunder echoed through the flat, dry plain. The grass was dead and devoid of any life other than the occasional insect.
Lightning stuck again, hitting the ground and exploding brilliantly. Another bolt hit the same spot as the wind picked up, raging around the torn up ground.
The ground rumbled while the weather continually grew worse. Rain began to fall in sheets of water that pelted the ground.
Another clap resounded through the realm. It echoed through the pit that was forming in the ground. The pit grew larger thanks to the wind and the exploding flashes of lighting that hit it
The storm raged on for several long minutes until the ground crumbled away, revealing a...
Link rolled off of the couch and onto the floor with a startled yelp.

Yes, I know this is pretty short, but I made it based off of both the openings to Wind Waker and the Ocarina of Time. It's just meant to draw you people in.
