Prologue

Hi everyone, this is the beginning of a new story I'm going to be writing about The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I will change some things from the game (obviously). This story takes place directly after the defeat of Ganon. Champion's Ballad has been moved to after the Ganon fight for story purposes.

I'm tired. So, so tired. My magic is weakening, I can feel the Malice escaping from the castle. The Calamity Ganon has been unleashed upon this land once before, through my failure. Only a few settlements survived the destruction. Perhaps they have all already been wiped out.

No. I can't think of that. I have to focus all my energy on defeating the Calamity Ganon. I can't lose. The kingdom depends on me. I cannot fail again.

Slash. I feel the Malice weakening and instantly loosen my grip. Could it be him? Link? Is he alive? It has to be. Maybe the plan actually worked. I can't get my hopes up, though. I try to use more power, but I can't.

Ganon is becoming enraged. This is his last stand, I can sense it. There's a chance of winning, I have to give the hero more time. I pour the last of my energy into the fight. Slash. My already-closed eyes become even blacker, and I lose consciousness.

Silence. Nothing but silence. It's peaceful. Am I dead? I guess I'd have to lose consciousness to be dead. But I can't feel my body. I don't really want to feel my body, though. It must hurt a lot. I'll stay here – wherever this place is – for a bit longer. I need the rest, anyways.

I guess I need to find out what happened, huh? Am I in some kind of coma? Is someone playing a magic trick on me? I'm becoming increasingly worried. If I keep worrying like this, I doubt there'll be much resting. I need to find a way to get out of this state.

"Hello?" I try to shout, but my mouth won't form any words. I need to wake up. Hyrule needs me.

I hear a voice. Despite me having no sense of direction, it seems to be coming from behind me. "Rest, young queen. You have done quite enough for your kingdom."

"Who are you?" I ask.

"I am monk Owa Daim. But that is not of importance. What is of importance is that you rest, for though you have saved your kingdom with great valor, there are still many trials ahead of you."

"How can I rest if I do not know the state of my kingdom and my friends?"

The monk chuckled. "I can see that you care a lot about your friends. If you truly wish to awaken, then so be it."

And I saw light again for the first time in many years.
