Author's notes:

This story is based sometime after the events of Spirit Tracks. I based the timeline around Lancun's (From you tube) split timeline theory. In a way, this is a more developed version of Hyrule. Trains are now used more like they are used in the real world, I.e. to transport many people at one particular time. The idea for this story was heavily influenced by the novel Fable: The Balverine Order, so in some ways it is a Zelda version of that story. In this world, the original Hyrule (which was flooded in Wind Waker) has been rebuilt and is populated once again.

I haven't decided how long after Spirit tracks this is set, but it is long after that Link is dead, and Hyrule has changed a lot since then. So it can't be too soon. I will include some brand new characters, but they're all based off of characters in the Zelda games. Hopefully this will be enjoyable for non-Zelda fans, although it will make more sense if you have played the games.
