A/N: Welcome back everyone to the new updated version of my Legend of Zelda/For Honor fanfic I hope the sudden change didn't inconvenience you, and I hope you enjoy re-reading, so I conclude with stating that I don't own either Legend of Zelda nor For Honor.
In a land ravaged by ancient machines that were meant to protect the people of Hyrule from great evil only to have the tables turned on them by who might be possibly the biggest dick in the whole series, a kingdom to what was once a proud and mighty people, the Hylians, saw their homes burn away long ago, to which has now become a distant memory. Long was the days for even the younger generations to even fathom Hyrule Castle filled with people free from the fear of monsters that now forever roam the field that once belonged to their great grandparents.
But luckily a century later the champion of Hyrule, Link, was risen from a deep slumber ready to redeem himself and save Zelda and Hyrule from, Ganon's reign, only to be one-shotted almost every freak'n time he went up against anything. And has he ever thrown a punch? I have never seen this guy make a fist in the entirety of this series, like if Link doesn't have a stick he's basically at the mercy of the game making him its bitch.
Wait, what was I talking about?
Oh right.
Link eventually gets back his shit by retrieving his sword, getting the four divine beast back to his side, slaying Ganon, saves that sweet ass- I mean, Zelda, and fulfill his promise to the King to save Hyrule and his daughter who he would eventually bang.
Maybe.

Walking through Kakariko Village, Link and Zelda, have come to arrange an emergency meeting, Impa and Purah, Kaneli and Teba, Bludo and Yunobo, Riju and Buliara, and finally Prince Sidon. His father, King Dorephan, would love to attend, but his fat-ass would probably snap that bridge in two, and I hear a lot on how Prince Sidon is attractive from real people, to me like how is this appealing? I get he has a shiny smile, but his torso is narrow, his arms are long skinny, and compared to the rest of his body his legs looks stubby. Sorry I'm off track.
Everyone has gathered in Impa's house just waiting on the last two members to arrive.
"Alright, Link, today's a very important meeting, all the leaders in Hyrule are attending it, so be on your best behavior," Zelda told her bodyguard. The two walked up the steps where they encountered Paya scrubbing the floor.
"AAH! Master Link, Princess Zelda!" she timidly greeted averting her eyes, "Everyone's waiting for you inside," Paya explained.
"Thank you Paya, come along Link."
The two opened the door seeing everyone was present.
"Hello Princess," Impa greeted.
"A pleasure meeting you your highness," Riju said.
"It's been so long Miss Zelda," Sidon said remembering the last time he saw Zelda.
"Wow, she looks just like the princess a hundred years ago," Kaneli commented thinking that the girl is a descendant rather than thinking that it might be the princess herself.
"Wha-? that is the princess you senile owl!" Blubo scolded the Rito elder.
After everyone settled down they all got to the matter of their problem, which was the lack of land for farming and living space for the people.
"We're gonna reach a point where there's too little room to live in, and not enough space for more farming lands to produce food," Zelda addressed.
"The Gerudo people depend heavily on food imports from the rest of Hyrule," Riju added, "There's little to no soil suitable for farming in the desert."
"But how are we suppose to expand with all the monsters out there?" Yunobo brought up.
"Yunobo's right," Sidon agreed, "We can't just send in workers when there's Bokoblins, Moblins, and Lizalfos running around."
"And even if we clear the land of the monster, the blood moon will just undo all of our progress," Buliara informed.
"Thank you, Buliara, for your insight," Riju thanked her bodyguard.
"This is quite the predicament we are in," Impa noted in her seat.
Link watched silently as everyone tried to figure out the coming problem that will no doubtedly leave a lot people starving and nowhere to build new homes.
"It's obvious that something has to be done about the blood moon to keep it from resurrecting the monsters," Teba spoke up.
"Princess, can't you just use your magic powers to stop the blood moon?" Yunobo asked.
"No, Yunobo, I'm afraid that's not how my powers work," Zelda, poorly explained.
"Do you even know how your powers work?" Sidon remarked.
"Quiet," Zelda snapped giving a pouting expression.
"I LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING!" Purah shouted out jumping to her feet making her small stature visible.
"Yes, Purah, what is that you like to say?" Zelda asked.
"Just this," Purah said, "Before you called everyone to a meeting I found this," Purah then fishes through her backpack pulling out a gold orb which made everyone awe and wonder.
"What is it?" Yunobo asked.
"It's an orb of some kind, which carries the symbols of, Naydra, Dinraal, and Farosh," Purah explained.
"But wait, who are those three warriors on the orb?" Sidon asked seeing three humanoid figures.
The orb didn't just had the three symbols of the goddesses, it also depicted three male figures, one in blue, the second in red, and the third in green, all three figures were depicted as warriors, but the warriors weren't of any kind any of the members of the room has ever seen before.
"Who are these strangers?" Zelda inquiries.
"I don't know, I've went through every book we had, and I have not found a single sentence about them," Purah admitted
"Can I look at it?" Zelda simply asked.
Purah didn't see anything wrong with that so she just hands the orb off to her, Zelda held onto the orb with both hands, the spherical object felt completely weightless in her hands, and was smooth as glass, but then the orb started to glow brightly.
"Uhh? what did I do?" Zelda said surprisingly and clueless.
"Is that suppose to happen?" Teba quickly spoke up putting up his wings to shield his eyes.
The light grew brighter and brighter engulfing the whole room, three golden triangles brightly appear on the orb one for each of the godesses.
"Link!" Zelda cried out afraid of what's going to happen.
Link springs into action without a second thought sprinting towards Zelda
While on the outside everything looked like it was fine, no one on the outside heard anyone scream, they didn't see a blinding light everything seems like a normal day.
"So what do think what's going on in there?" Cado asked his fellow guard Dorian.
*BOOOOOOM!*
In the next second before Dorian could respond a huge explosion blew the doors off of Impa's house and something shot up through the roof, it flew up fast and brightly like a shooting star.
"What in Hyrule was that?" Dorian questioned.
The two ran up the stairs and came to the sight of everyone covered in soot, their hair was blown back, and Zelda and Link was frozen on the spot, still can't believe what happened.
"*cough*... Didn't see that coming," Purah commented then collapsed on the floor

High above the clouds the orb headed west of Kakariko Village, heading straight for the Great Plateau, and when it reached its destination the orb halted right in mid air, the orb started to pulse rapidly until suddenly the orb shot a beam of green light towards the broken bridge. The light started out as a blob shape, but soon the light started to take form, the light formed arms, legs, and finally a head. Once the form was finish the light quickly dimmed revealing the plated armor of a man who wore it.
"Uh... huh?" the knight said feeling drowsy, but when he collected himself, he took notice of his surroundings, "What in god's name?"
He glanced around seeing nothing familiar to him, crumbling temples, a broken stone bridge, grassy fields and a strange tower glowing blue.
"Where am I?" the knight asked himself.
But looking up he spots the orb that summoned him hovering high above.
"What sorcery-,"
Before he could think what was happening the orb shot out another beam of light, blue this time, the light landed near the knight taking shape, dimming out to reveal a samurai. The warrior of the Myre immediately took notice of the knight, both surprised to see each other.
"Nani?" the samurai gasps out in confusion.
Both tried to draw out their sword only to grab nothing, but air. Their weapons were not on them, so the knight took a swing at the samurai, but he quickly ducks out of the way, and punched the knight in the face, only to hurt his own finger. The samurai shook his aching fingers then was bashed by the knight's shoulders.
"Cowardly samurai trickster!" the knight yelled, "What game are you playing it?" he then demanded.
"I was gonna said the same thing," the samurai shot back.
While the two were fighting each other, the orb, shot a third beam of light, now red, just like the other two it took its shape and quickly dimmed out to reveal the third and finally warrior. The viking man looked around confusingly however when he turned to find a knight and a samurai in a fist fight he quickly got excited.
"Alright! fight!" he cheered in joy then ran towards them.
the knight and the samurai were stuck in a lock trying to keep their hold on the other, but halted when they just noticed that they were on the edge of the broken bridge, little pebbles chipped off falling straight down. However neither of them dared to move fearing that they'll fall over the edge, but then they heard screaming, and turned to see a viking charging right at them, both warriors screamed and the viking ran them and himself off the edge, and so all three of them went tumbling down. Although falling a good height it wasn't going to kill them and luckily one of those skull stone houses was there to break their fall.
The three warriors broke through the roof with enough force and weight to make it come crumble down, the three continued on hitting each other blaming one another for what is happening, but when the dust cleared they were soon confronted by the owners of the skull. The three took a good look at the homeowners seeing to be weird pig... monkey... things with red skin, loin cloths for pants, and one small horn on their foreheads.
"Oh god what the hell are these things!" the knight said in disgust before the bokoblins pounced on them.
All there is was the cries of the three warriors fighting off the screeching bokoblins, skulls cracking, limbs snapping, and the fading dying screams of the bokoblins. Back inside the knight tirelessly punched a bokoblin to death, while the viking lifted one high over his head to break his back onto his knee, and the samurai strangled the last one with the bokoblin's own bow. All three of them sat on the ground exhausted from killing the monsters with their bare hands.
"*huff*... *puff*... *huff*... *puff*..." the samurai breathed heavily, "There's nothing more I want than to kill the both of you *puff*... but giving our situation I propose a truce."
"*puff*... I accept the proposal," the knight second, "Only because I'm too tired and have no sword to separate you head from your shoulders."
"What! c'mon we just killed a bunch of monsters with nothing more than our bare hands," the viking surprisingly said, actually still ready for more, "Let's go find some more and kick the living crap out of them."
"How are you this excited?" the samurai said.
But then the three warriors heard a sound high above, they looked to the sky to see the gold orb that summoned them to suddenly disappear from their sights.
"Hey! where did it go?" the knight asked seeing nothing more than the blue skies, "Great that might've been our only way home."
The shadows started to disappear along with the sun the three notice that it was getting dark.
"We should find shelter," the samurai suggested.
"What do you mean? this looks like a nice spot," the viking said liking the stone hut the bokoblins were in.
"One: we're at the bottom to wherever we're are," the samurai started, "Two: this place smells like shit, and three we need a spot so we can easily spot danger, plus we have no weapons, except this primitive bow which we have only two arrows to."
"... Well when you put it that way,"
"How about that cathedral up there?" the knight interrupted pointing straight at the aging temple.

The three found their way up the steps so far they haven't seen anymore monsters... yet. They made their way passed demolished buildings and confused at the sight of strange destroyed machines.
"What the hell is that thing?" the viking asked pointing at the dead guardian.
"I don't know, I've never seen anything like it," the knight said then kicks it.
Then suddenly the three heard something clunking around to what sounds like it was coming from inside the guardian, then finally a single purple rupee drops out from the bottom of the guardian hitting the dirt.
"I saw it first!" the viking shouted then dives down throwing his whole body on top of the rupee.
He holds up the crystal between his fingers blowing on it to clean it, but was then pulled off the ground.
"Get up you idiot," the knight scolded, "We can't waste our time out in the open."
"You got that right," the samurai agreed looking at the bottom of where they were earlier.
They all looked down seeing what the samurai was seeing, there at the bottom they saw skeletons clawing their way out of the ground carrying wooden clubs and spears.
"We should get inside," the knight informed.
"Yes, we should," the viking agreed and the three ran up the stairs.
Inside the three found the temple completely abandon, holes were in the ceiling, windows shattered, and a large chunk of the wall has collapsed, grass has grown on the inside of the floor and vines have crawled all over the walls. But on the other end of the temple the three saw a large statue of an angle.
"Who's that, tin-can?" the viking nudged at the knight thinking he had the answer.
"I don't know," he responded.
"What do you mean, you don't know? this is a church, is it not?" the viking asked again.
"isn't it one of your Christian angels?" the samurai asked.
"Well it has wings," the knight can see, "But there's no discerning features, there's not even a name to it."
The knight walks up to the large statue seeing that there was nothing that stood out it very much dwarfed him in size, but then a mysterious source of light shone down on the statue of Goddess Hylia.
"Whoa, what the hell's happening?" the viking spoke out.
"Hello," the statue spoke and the warriors jumped back, "Please, don't be afraid, my name's Goddess Hylia,"
"Goddess?" the samurai repeated.
"Are we dead?" the viking asked.
'Oh, heavens no, you are very much alive," Goddess Hylia told them.
"Then where are we?" the knight asked.
"All your questions will be answered," Goddess Hylia told them and the light began to fade, "You three must go beyond the mountain, the people of Hyrule need your help,"
Soon the statue ceased speaking and the light completely faded.
"People of Hyrule? beyond the mountain?" the knight asked the rest.
"What does any of that even mean?" the viking asked scratching his head.
"Maybe there's someone waiting beyond this mountain," the samurai suggested.
"Yeah, but what mountain?" the knight brought up.
"We'll just have figure that in the morning, right now we need a fire," the samurai said.
The three looked around for pieces of wood and managed to find two pieces of flint to hit against each other, and when the fire was lit the three gathered around.
"Alright, if we're gonna be surviving together we might as well get to know each other," the viking said getting ready to introduce himself, "My name's, Gunnar, if you already figured out, I love good brawl."
"... O.k, I am, Katsuo," the samurai known as Katsuo introduced himself.
"And I'm, David," the knight known as David introduced.
"You got a family?" Gunnar asked.
"No... they died in the war," David told them.
"Same here," Katsuo said.
"I guess we're on the same boat then?" Gunnar spoke confirming that the war made them all orphans.
"We should sleep, we need to be well rested," Katsuo told them and they all went to sleep.

Back in Kakariko Village the guest all went to turn inn at the village in when concluding their meeting, the explosion the orb caused was soon cleaned up putting the doors back on and cleaning all the soot off every surface.
"What are we gonna do Impa?" Zelda asked her old friend as she sat down next to her.
"We'll think of something Princess, we just have to be patient," Impa told her.
While everyone was gathered around downstairs, Purah, was upstairs going through her research book and with others just lying on the ground.
"Orb seems... to... blow up," she wrote down.
"Ah... Great-Aunt Purah, I've brought you some blankets for the night," Paya provided.
"Thank you Paya," Purah thanked taking her great niece.
But as Paya stepped closer to hand over the blankets she accidentally steps on one of the books and slips forward toward her dresser. There was a loud crash that shook the dresser causing it to tilt and then suddenly something on top just rolls off landing on the floor.
"Paya, what happen?" Impa called out from the floor below.
"Nothing grandmother, I just tripped, ow," Paya replied.
While Paya was getting up Purah took notice of the object the feel off from the top of the dress.
"What's this?" she spoke picking it up off the floor.
The object was a scroll container, and one that was collecting dust for a very long time, Purah opens it and finds the paper inside in perfect condition, like time has frozen still within the container. Purah scanned what was on the paper and soon her eyes widen.
"Everyone! everyone I found something very very very important!" she said rapidly as she ran down the stairs on her tiny little legs, "GUYS LOOK!"
"Quit screaming, what do you need to show us that's so important?" Impa asked and Purah hands her the scroll.
"What is it Impa? Zelda asked seeing Impa reading the scroll.
"Hmm, this is very interesting," Impa started, "Scroll talks was made long before the Calamity, it says that three warriors will be summoned three of which will be tasked to find the three pearls of the goddesses. The warriors it talks about are from a far away land three of which will help us in our time of need, but these race of warriors are called, Man."
Then Purah, Impa, Zelda, and Link glanced at each other in curiously, they never heard of such, and what does it really mean?
A/N: Alright that first chapter and let me know what you think.
and another thing, I played both the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Horizon Zero Dawn, loved both these games really great, and I have to say both games feel very similar to the, Princess Mononoke. I just got like a month ago heard it was a beautiful, and gotta say it was worth buying, except almost every store I went had a crappy selection of anime, or none at all. A Walmart used to carry them, but the people there said stop selling those a month before, and keep telling that I have to see it, but I finally found it at Best Buy. There was only ONE left on the whole rack, and it was blue ray.
The search was over.
