Soulbound
Foreword: Hello, and welcome to my batch of crazy. Some of you may have read this back when I had originally posted this here, and some of you might be new to this story. You might even be somebody from DA or AO3 who happened to stumble on this. Either way, glad to see you're here. Before we begin the story proper, I just have a few words of warning: this story revolves around the idea of a world merger between Hyrule and our world. Due to the nature of the plot, it contains a large number of OCs, and subplots revolving around them as well as the Zelda characters present. If for some reason you hate OCs, I would caution you to read this at your own discretion. In other words, don't say I didn't warn you!
That being said, I am open to all other feedback regarding the story, especially with regards to characterization, grammar, spelling, and other ideas that could improve the story.
Prologue, Part I - Link/Zelda/Ganondorf: The Day The World Stood Still
Hyrule, Lanayru Province - Ganon's Castle
2 Eldin, 1437 HCE
6:50 PM
Clashing metal echoed throughout the black citadel. Two figures, one clothed in green and another in black armor, battled one another atop the castle keep. A woman imprisoned in a crystal watched from afar. Blood dripped all along the floor as the two of them took in gulps of air.
On the backs of their hands, the brand of the Triforce shone brightly, as if drawn together by fate. The woman clasped her hands over her mouth, stifling the gasp that threatened to escape her lips.
"Link..." She cried out, "Link, no!"
Streams of dark energy flowed from Ganondorf's hand. He flung the ball of energy at his enemy. Link swung his sword forward, repelling the black with his sword. The ball of energy bounced back and forth, moving faster and faster until it collided with Ganondorf's body. He fell onto his left knee, his body sizzling from the attack.
"It's over, Ganondorf. Stop this madness, now."
"No, Hero. It has only just begun!"
Link held up his shield as Ganondorf's sword struck its surface, sending sparks flying. The two clashed swords until Link landed a blow on his Ganondorf's side. Undeterred, Ganondorf landed a blow on Link's shoulder. The Hero cried out in pain and stumbled backwards.
With every ounce of determination he possessed, Link raised his sword as the Blade of Evil's Bane clashed with Ganondorf's blade. The two of them locked eyes, Ganondorf's gaze filled with unbridled hate.
"This world is mine..."
As the battle waged on, Zelda sensed a change in the air. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted an otherworldly light. She turned toward the window and let out a blood curdling scream.
The light shimmered through the stained glass windows. Glass began to crack, straining under an outside force until shattering completely. Ganondorf and Link turned toward the light as it consumed the chamber.
"This is... not possible..."
Waves of energy elevated the Chosen Three into the air. Energy crackled and sparked, until a ball of white energy exploded. The Chosen Three cried out as they were absorbed into the light...
