Hyrule Total War: Daily Life
A collection of stories within the Legend of Zelda Total War universe.
Chapter 1: Zelda's views on the enemies of the world.
Hyrule was as fractured as the broken shields and weapons that the Moblin hordes discarded after battle, with the kingdom of Hyrule in the dead center of the world, it was the only part of the world that wasn't in a state of disarray from war and battle, the only part of world that hasn't seen the horrors of what true war can bring.
The Shikah hordes from the desecrated wastelands of the south west wasn't the biggest concern of Princess Zelda's mind, she had to deal with the undead and relentless Stalfos from the marsh lands of the Northwest, their armies were slowly building up from the losses of many lives, may they be civilian or soldier, if the Princess didn't intervene, all of Hyrule will be plagued with the living dead.
Tense relationships with the Ordona Province next door was created due to heavy trade complications and lack of protection from various other factions and armies caused them to abandon their ties with the Hyrulian Empire, believing that their massive source of resources were better off for themselves, locking their bountiful resources from the rest of the lands.
In the sand-ridden south was the Dreaded Darknuts empire, a single darknut clad with their trademark black armor was equivalent to twenty Hyrulian soldiers, the thought of having to deal with a whole army platoon of them made the Princess sick to her stomach from the potential loss, luckily, the empire was naturally low in numbers, a single platoon of Darknuts only consisted of five or four darknuts.
In the east was the Lizalfos, they constantly destroy trade routes and caravans for the sake of quenching their thirst for spiritual appeal from their blood god, the Lizalfos were just as much as a problem as the Darknut empire, if it weren't for the constant infighting between the tribes, the Lizalfos would've conquer most of Eastern Hyrule right now.
Along with the north west was the Gerudo's led by Ganondorf, their armies are strong and numerous and the land that they control is massive, they have yet to truly wage war on the kingdom of Hyrule, but it was only a matter of time before they sound the drums of war against Zelda's kingdom.
Despite all the enemy factions nearing Zelda's doorstep, none were as much as a problem as the Moblin Warbands from the west.
Ruled by a massive Moblin named Ganon, this particular blue-skinned Moblin united all of the Moblin clans underneath a single banner, wanting nothing but the destruction of Hyrule, and the acquirement of the Tri-force, Moblins from all shapes and sizes gathered under Ganon's rule, the Golem-like Biglins, the dopey but crazed dodoblins, the Boar-riding Miglins, the tiny but fanatical miniblins, and the normal but headstrong moblins were the integral part of the Violent bestial horde.
Unlike the Stalfos who were slow to build an army, the Darknuts who were low in numbers and the Lizalfos who were in a constant state of infighting, the Moblins were organized and bonded to one another like a chain link, their numbers were high, their blades were sharp and their armor was broad.
their equipment while crude and unreliable, were effective no matter what, the normal common Moblins were armed to the teeth with various blades and clubs, if their fierce appearance didn't shake an army's morale, their fear-inducing weapons will.
The Golem-like biglins were tough and strong, if it weren't for their unwillingness to wear armor, the Biglins would match the Darknuts in effectiveness, they were still threats of course, a single Biglin can roughly equal about six of Zelda's soldiers.
The dodoblins were crazy loyal to Ganon, to the point that they're willing to attach explosives to their bodies and run into the fray, the Princess secretly wished she had soldiers that were loyal (or stupid) enough to fight like that, most times, her soldiers would routed once they lost the edge in a battle, fleeing for their lives as their formations were broken and their blood was spilled.
The Boar-riders of the Moblins could outrun the Ordona's best mounts, and can aim a bow better than a Kokiri archer on foot, Zelda dreaded every battle she attended if there was Miglins out of fear of having her head skewered by their poorly-made arrows.
The Princess of Hyrule sighed in a thoughtful manner before ordering one of her servants to write a letter to several army recuperating commanders that was taking a rest after several long battles.
The Moblin hordes were nearing the Border of Western Hyrule, purposefully avoiding the Ordona Province territory and singling out the Kingdom of Hyrule, a confrontation was almost certain.
