Hyrule - Castle Town

Link and Zelda return to Hyrule in order to see how things are going after the light appeared, to their surprise the Hyrule Castle which stood at the Castle Town has vanished, Zelda voiced her regret for not returning sooner.

"This isn't good, if only i returned back sooner." But to Zelda and Link surprise the town doesn't seem to be in chaos even with the ruling body is missing.

As Link and Zelda approached the town the citizens were overjoyed to see their princess returned. "Princess Zelda ! You have returned !" exclaimed one of the townsfolk.

"I have, i'm sorry for being away for too long, although i'm impressed the town didn't descend to chaos with the castle disappeared." Zelda noticed.

"Yes, well when we woke up the next morning to find the palace missing we were panicking, but then a Sheikah named Impa arrived and calm everything down, she's taking over for the time being." Explained the townsfolk.

"Did she ? well i've got to thank her for this later, so where is she ?" Zelda asked one of the townsfolk.

"She's over there." Pointed one of the elderly townsfolk. "Impa sure is a capable one, it's as if she's the same Impa from 100 years ago, but that can't be, even though Sheikah have longer lifespan than Hylians she should be old by now, so she must be naming her granddaughter after her."

Zelda and Link look to each other and exchange a confused look. They head to the direction the old man pointed to see a familiar face.

"Impa !" Exclaimed Zelda as she and Link is surprised by what they see. "How did...?"

"Link ! Your highness ! Good to see you returned, as for my appearance." Impa then explained about the light that come from nowhere, and as the light faded she return to her appearance 100 years ago. "Trust me Paya almost fainted when she saw me."

"This is R.O.B's doing, then again thanks to Impa the Castle Town is saved from chaos." Murmured Link.

"When this happens to me I quickly rushed to the palace, wanting to report of the situation and when I got to the Castle Town the castle is gone, so I take charge of the Town before chaos can happen." Explained Impa.

"Impa I owe you big for this, thank you for maintaining peace while we were gone, I have to assure the people that there's nothing to worried about." Said Zelda.

"So Impa, does this only happens to you or...?" Link asked Impa.

"There's a rumor that Robbie and Purah age also changed, but I haven't been able to confirm it since I've got my hands full here, I left Paya with Cadi and Dorian in charge of the village while I'm gone." Answered Impa. "There's barely any problem there so I don't think Paya is going to encounter any problems."

"Well that's good to hear, maybe once all this is over we can go visit Kakariko Village." Remarked Link as he let out a smile.

"That's a wonderful idea, and you know Link, it might be too late to say this, but it's nice to see you loosen up a little, I know being a knight is hard and dangerous, but it's alright to smile once in a while." Zelda said to Link.

"Yeah, sorry about that if I look harsh, I act like that to cope with the pressure of being a part of the royal knight, but maybe I will take your word and loosen up a little." Replied Link.

"You two, sorry, but I actually have a bad news for you." Impa said in a low tone. "While you're gone a Zora messenger came here and said there's an assassination attempt on King Dorephan."

Zelda and Link is shocked at hearing this news. "What ! An assassination !? Who did..!? Is he...dead ?" Zelda is so shocked she can't form a coherent sentence.

"No, luckily he's still alive, however he's currently bedridden and resting at the moment." Answered Impa which Link and Zelda felt relieved.

"Then I guess for the time being Sidon is acting king for the Zoras then ?" Asked Link.

"That's the thing, the messenger Zora who came here and informed me of the situation said, the ones currently taking over was...Princess Mipha." Once again this answer shocked both Link and Zelda.

"Mipha !? But that can't be ! She's dead ! We all saw what happened !" Exclaimed Link.

"The messenger explains that Prince Sidon traveled to the past, and he's able to save Princess Mipha from being killed by the Blight Ganon, they also told me that the Zora Domain is under attack by a figure who call herself Goddess of Thunder." Explained Impa.

"Impa, I'm going to Zora's Domain, I need to know what's going on there." Insisted Link. "What about you Zelda ?"

"I'm staying here for now, I have to assure my people, it would be bad if I leave again while we just got here, I'll catch up when I'm done here." Zelda confirm she chooses to stay at the Castle Town for the time being, so she's unable to help Link.

Zora Domain

Link used the Sheikah Slate to teleport to Ne'ez Yohma Shrine which is located right in the middle of Zora's Domain. After arriving Link went straight to the throne room.

Zora Domain - Throne Room

Link arrived to see Mipha sitting on the throne, alongside her there's Sidon and Muzu.

Sidon excitedly greeted Link once the Hylian set foot at the throne room. "Link ! Perfect Timing ! Look ! My sister Mipha is alive !" Sidon pushing Link to look at the throne where Mipha sit.

Link is still suspicious by what he see, but knowing how beloved Mipha is at the kingdom Link pretended to be surprised. "Oh, yeah it's true, I heard the news, I can't believe it myself, Mipha, she's really here." Link then turned to Sidon. "You were time traveling Sidon ?"

"Yes, I was out training, and this time portal showed up, I had the feeling I have to enter the portal, and I was right to do so, because of that I'm able to save my sister from the Blight Ganon." Explained Sidon. "And with your help Link we managed to vanquish the Blight Ganon."

"Yes, Master Sidon have created a miracle, because of what he did, our princess survived the calamity 100 years ago." Added Muzu. "And I believe we also need to thank you too Link."

"How did it happen ?" Asked Link.

"See there's this small robot resembling a guardian, opening a time portal, I entered it and help Mipha defeat the blight Ganon." Answered Sidon.

"Yes, I'm here now, it's all thanks to Sidon and everyone." Mipha steps down and approached Link.

"Yeah, I'm glad to see you here Mipha, so as for why I'm here, I heard King Dorephan is under attack ?" Link quickly changed the subject as he took a step back from Mipha.

"Yes, unfortunately it's true, a woman who call herself Goddess of Thunder appeared out of nowhere and begin attacking us, a lot of people have been hurt because of our vulnerability to electricity." Explained Muzu.

"The Goddess of Thunder nearly killed my father, I tried to fend her off, but I was paralyzed from her electric attack, and as she's about to land the killing blow, my sister came from out of nowhere and fend her off." Continued Sidon. "She's a true hero !"

"Umm...thank you, but I was able to land a hit because I ambushed her." Mipha is downplaying her success.

"Either way that's what saved us all ! You deserve the throne more than I did, and I'm alright with that." Said Sidon.

"Sidon, you're too kind, I'm glad you grow up to become a good person, me on the other hand..."

"What was that sis ?" Sidon can't hear Mipha's last sentence.

"Oh it's nothing, anyway the Thunder Goddess retreated, however it seems she has no intent on giving up just yet." Said Mipha.

"What happened ?" Asked Link.

"The river, it's filled by strange creatures we never seen before, they're aquatic life, however they're capable of generating electricity, a lot of our people have been hurt, so swimming has been banned for the time being until all this creatures are dealt with." Explained Muzu.

"So Link, if it's not too much trouble could you help us ? Deal with these creatures, there's no doubt they belong to the Goddess of Thunder." Asked Sidon.

"Alright I'll help, I'll exterminate these creatures for you." Link agreed to help the Zora's. ("This Goddess of Thunder, she's got to be connected with all this somehow.")

"You can found the creatures alongside the Zora River, actually thanks to those electric monsters, the Octoroks there pretty much fleeing the river so you don't have to worry about them, but those monsters are much more a threat to us Zora's then those Octoroks because they can generate electricity." Explained Muzu.

"Understood, I'm on my way now, give King Dorephan my regards, and I hope he get well soon." Link then leave the throne room and head to Zora River.

Zora River

Link arrived to the river path as he look at the surroundings, just then Link noticed a strange glow moving at the pathways, curious Link decided to look for himself what's that glow.

As Link crept closer he hid behind a big rock to see the source of that glow, what Link saw was a blue fish like creatures with tiny legs, and + shaped pupils at it's eyes, the creature have some kind of antenna with glowing yellow orb at the end.

"What is that creature ?" Link grabbed his Sheikah Slate and took a picture of the monster with it.

Link soon approached the monster, readying his sword and shield, as Link gets closer the monster noticed the Hylian and firing an ellectric blast at him, Link able to dodge the attack, but as he ready for a counter attack, the monster ended up running away and jump to the river, apparently the attack only meant to serve as distraction, and not to cause harm. Link then sheathed his sword.

("That's weird, that monster doesn't seem hostile, better looked more into it. Anyway just in case..") Link pull out a bottle of Electro Elixir from the pocket of his pants, he opened it and drink the elixir, with this he's given a temporary electric resistance.

As Link continued to walk he seemed to stepped on something soft, as he looked down there's a brown fish like monster under his shoes, as Link is surprised, the monster electrocute Link, however thanks to the Electro Elixir the electric shock isn't painful, the fish monster then smiled and jumped to the river.

"What was that thing ? I never seen such creature before." And again Link looked towards the river, he saw a blue fish like creature swimming in the river, it has antenna with glowing orb like the first creature he saw earlier, Link pull out his Sheikah Slate and take another picture. The monster noticed Link nearby, Link placed the Sheikah Slate back and ready for another fight, however the fish monster emits a flash of light, Link is forced to closed his eyes, once the light faded Link opened his eyes to see the fish monster dive to the river bottom.

"It got away again, I don't think these creatures are native to Hyrule." As Link pondered about the creatures he saw a small white eel float passed him, Link expression become shocked as he looked at the floating eel.

"Okay, now I know you're not from around here." Link chased the white eel, Link pull out his Sheikah Slate and snap a picture at the eel, the eel realizing it's being chased, float away faster to get away from Link.

As Link gets closer two larger eel monster stepped in and attack Link, Link dodge the attack and snap a picture of the two eel monsters, one is a dark green eel like monster with a fin on its head, the second one looks more scary as it's an eel monster with tentacle like limb, lamprey mouth with sharp fangs. The first eel monster took the white eel away with Link now have to face the second eel monster.

Link readied his weapons as the eel monster unleash a flare of electricity, while the Electro Elixir still in effect Link is still knocked down by the ensuing force, the eel monster float towards Link and attempt to swallow him, but Link blocked the monster with his shield. Link swing his sword to the monster, but the eel monster float away to dodge Link's attack.

The eel monster about to unleash another flare of electricity, Link quickly grabbed his bow and arrow and shoot the creature with a fire arrow, the clash of fire and electricity created a huge explosion that sends the eel monster flying and fell towards the river.

But it's not yet over as the eel monster emerge from the river and fires a stream of acid from its mouth, Link do a backflip to dodge the acid gunk, however the acid emanates noxious fumes which forced Link to hold his breath, Link tried stepping in the acid, but one nearly dissolve his shoe, Link then used Daruk's Protection to shield himself from the acid.

The eel monster once again latched it's teeth towards Link, but unable to do so thanks to the force field protecting him, inside the barrier Link attempt to use Urbosa's Fury, lightning descend from the sky and struck down the eel monster, however the eel monster is barely harmed by the lightning strike.

"Guess I have to go with this then." Link pull out an Ice Rod, seeing the eel monster still biting on the barrier Link only have a few seconds to react, Link calmed down and focused in the target, Link then dispel the barrier, the eel monster rushed towards Link, but to Link the eel monster move in a slow motion, he swings his Ice Rod and freeze the eel monster, Link pull out a Dragonbone Mountain Club and smacked the creature, shattering the ice and knocked the creature down. The eel monster quickly jumped to the river and swim away.

"That was tough, ah I need to get away first." Link take steps away from the acids on the ground. "That thing emits electricity and poison, not to mention it can levitate, but first things first." Link used the Ice Rod to freeze the acids, then Link used the club to shatter it to pieces.

As Link sheathed his weapons an electric strike can be heard from behind, hearing this Link turned around and continue to walk down the pathway, he walked stealthily, as he gets close Link his behind a rock and peered his head a little, what he saw is a Red Bokoblin seemed to be fighting a black sea urchin monster.

The Red Bokoblin is down on the ground, but it tries to get back up for revenge, the sea urchin monster spray the Bokoblin with water from it's mouth, the Bokoblin shield it's face from the water spray, but soaking the rest of it's body, the sea urchin monster then enveloped it's body with electricity and jumped toward the Bokoblin, ramming the monster with it's spiky body, it caused one of the thorns to stab the Bokoblin, and electrocuting it, thank to being soaked, the lightning attack proved fatal and ended up killing the Bokoblin.

Link snap a picture of the sea urchin monster. And after the Bokoblin is killed a figure in red robe encompassing their entire body teleported in front of the sea urchin monster.

("Who is that ? Could that be the Goddess of Thunder ? That person is kneeling down in front of that monster, a strong possibility that person have anything to do with the Zora Domain current crisis.") Link pull out his bow and arrow, he readied his Ice Arrow and aimed it at the robed figure.

Link shoot the arrow and hit the robed figure, the attack froze the robed figure immediately, Link pull out a fire arrow this time, but he only placed it near the figure's head to melt the ice, as the ice on the head is melting Link removed the hood revealing a man with black slicked back hair.

"Who are you !? And what are you doing attacking the Zora Domain !?" Link threatened the man as he placed his sword on the man's neck.

"I..I...we-we're s-s-s-sorry..." The man stuttered as with the rest of his body still frozen he still felt cold and can't speak in coherent sentence. "W-we have n-no c-c-choice.."

Link is surprised by the man's word he decided to get straight to the point. "No choice ? Are you one of the Warriors of Fallen Stars ?"

The man nodded, proving his words to Link.

"I see, I'm sorry, but whether you're forced or not you still carrying out orders that endanger the Zoras, at the very least I'll have to put you out of commission for the time being." Link pull out the Ice Rod again, but then fireballs appeared from the sky and gunning towards Link, noticing this Link backflipped and dodge the fireballs.

Link looked up to see two robed figures standing on some kind of platform in the air that looks like a magic circle.

One robed figure pull out a weapon that seems familiar to Link and blast the Hylian with lightning, but Link cast Daruk's Protection to shield himself with the barrier. ("That weapon ? It looks like the Levin Sword Robin used, could this man from the same world as Robin ?")

The robed figure descend to the ground and one of them used a fire magic to melt the ice. "Sir Reinhardt we're here for you."

"Just a bit more and you'll be free brother." The robed figure who melt the ice seemed to have a feminine voice.

"Thank you Olwen, Fred, so how are preparations ?" Asked Reinhardt.

"It's done, but I wish we never finished." Olwen finished defrosting her brother. But then a fire arrow is heading towards the trio as it exploded once it made contact with Reinhardt. The blast sends the three of them flying a bit and they all fell to the ground. As they fell the hood is removed caused by the impact, revealing a woman with short black hair and a man with brown hair.

"We have to go !" Reinhardt used his magic to teleport the trio away from Link, however as he's in a hurry Reinhardt seemed to drop something before he teleported.

"Get away again, teleportation can be really annoying on the enemies hand. Hmm...?" Link approached the object Reinhardt dropped and picked it up. "What the !? This is a Pokeball ? Does that mean these creatures I've never seen before are Pokemons !?"

Link turned his attention to the sea urchin monster who is badly hurt. "Got caught in the blast huh ? I'm sorry about that, let's see how do you use these things." Link point the pokeball at the sea urchin monster and the ball automatically fire a red beam that put the monster inside the pokeball."

("A Pokemon ? People with a weapon similar to Robin ? King Dorephan assassination ? Mipha's return ? Could she really be back ? Did Sidon really altered the past ? No, that can't be, if it is Mipha should've aged, but she looks exactly the same from 100 years ago, if she's still a part of Warriors of Fallen Stars then...") As Link struggled to piece the info he had together another loud lightning strike can be heard from the distance, this time it came from Zora's Domain.

Seeing there's no more time to think Link quickly return by teleporting back to Ne'ez Yohma Shrine.

Zora Domain

Link teleported back to Zora Domain, the Zora citizens are running in fear and trying to enter the shrine as lightning striking around the place. Link looked upward to see another figure cloaked in black robe.

"That must be the Goddess of Thunder." Link make his way to the throne room. On the way Link is ambushed by the eel monsters he faced earlier.

If anything the entire Domain is infested with the eel monsters.

"What the !? Could this be the preparations they're talking about ?" Link used the ice Rod to freeze the eel monsters, Link looked down to see the water below is also infested with the blue fish with antenna and yellow orbs he saw earlier too.

"They're everywhere ! Can this get any worse ?" Link looked at the eastern bridge to see a Red mane Lynel rampaging on the bridge that leads to Ploymus Mountain. "I have to ask.."

"Link !" Shouted Gaddison

"Gaddison what's going on here ?" Asked Link.

"The Thunder Goddess arrived, she brought her monster minions and attacking us ! I've been tasked with the evacuation, everyone is hiding in the shrine." Explained Gaddison. "She used one of her monsters to lead a Lynel to come down from Ploymus Mountain to here, Prince Sidon and the knights are dealing with the Lynel right now, the other soldiers are dealing with the Goddes's monsters."

"And Mipha ?"

"The princess is dealing with the Goddess of Thunder herself right now." Answered Gaddison.

Zora Domain - Eastern Bridge

Sidon and Bazz are fighting against the Lynel and two eel monsters, this monsters seemed to be not the one Link fought earlier, they don't have tentacles. However thanks to their electric attacks the other knights accompanying them are badly hurt.

The Lynel charged at the remaining Zoras, swinging it's sword around, which Sidon and Bazz dodged by creating a fish like constructs out of water to quickly move away.

The Lynel turned around and begin shooting fireballs from it's mouth to the Zora warriors. As the fireballs gets close Sidon summon a water geyser to extinguish the flames.

As they're busy with the Lynel the eel monsters float closer and unleash a flare of electricity at the two warriors, Sidon and Bazz screamed in pain as the electric shock incapacitating them as Sidon and Bazz fall to the ground.

"Prince Sidon, is this it for us ?" Asked Bazz in a weak tone. "We can't win against the Lynel with these eel monsters electrocuting us."

"Don't give up yet Bazz, we don't have to be the ones to finish the Lynel off, I hope my plan works." The Lynel charging once again towards the fallen warriors, Sidon struggled to got up, he used his water powers again, but not aimed towards the Lynel, but to the bridge, soaking it with water and making it slippery.

The Lynel slipped and fell, because of the slippery floor the Lynel didn't stop sliding, Sidon and Bazz move out of the way as the Lynel crashed on to the eel monsters, Sidon and Bazz then summon a water geyser directly below the Lynel, launching the centaur monster to the sky and fell to the waters below, the electric fish monsters then electrocute the Lynel, killing it.

Zora Domain

Seeing Mipha is the closest Link decided to back her up, but on the way he had to fend off the numerous eel monsters. With Link using his Ice Rod to freeze them, he heard another electric shocks coming from below.

"Someone help ! Those eel monsters are getting close to King Dorephan !" Link looked down to see another if his Zora friend Rivan and his daughter Dunma, apparently paralyzed from fighting the eel monsters.

Link jumped down, and saw King Dorephan on the inn bed, apparently that's where he's staying right now.

"Link, please help, the king is in danger." Pleaded Rivan who is struggling to move.

"I will, you two find somewhere safe." Link charged in and swings his Ice Rod and fight the eel monsters from harming King Dorephan.

Zora Domain - Throne Room

At the throne room where Mipha is fighting the Thunder Goddess who is floating in the air.

"You're very persistent." Said the Goddess.

"I'm a princess of this kingdom, as long as I'm here no one shall threatened my people." Mipha declared to the goddess. "Muzu leave this place, I'll handle her !"

"Oh no he won't." The Thunder Goddess create an electric barrier that blocks the path downstairs, or even the ledges in case to prevent anyone from coming in 'unconventionally'. "I want at least to be a witness once I slain this kingdom's princess."

"Try as you might I will not lose." Mipha create a water fountain below the Goddess as she floats, Mipha teleports and launched herself above and struck the Goddess from below, knocking her off balance and she fell down to the floor.

"Uugh..you !" Thunder Goddess charging electricity from her hand, only to see a mini tidal wave heading her way, Thunder Goddess got attacked by the mini wave and because of her hand charged with electricity, she ended up electrocuting herself.

Mipha then trapped the Thunder Goddess inside a water sphere, because the inside is filled with water there's no room to breathe as she suffocates inside. "I'm warning you one last time, leave us in peace or I will be forced to end your life." Thunder Goddess tried to charge another electricity, but considering she's inside a water she's the one to get electrocuted again, knowing there's no other option the Thunder Goddess signalling her surrender.

Mipha then dispel the water sphere as the Thunder Goddess fall to the floor and gasping for air. Mipha walked closer and point her spear on the Goddess's hood, she used her spear to remove the hood, the face of the Thunder Goddess revealed to be a beautiful woman with whitish purple hair styled in a side ponytail.

Link then arrived to the Throne Room, with the Goddess's defeat, the electric barrier is gone and Link saw the battle is over with Mipha pointing her spear on the Goddess's neck after removing her hood.

"Leave now, and never came back." Mipha threatened the Goddess.

The Goddess then use her magic to summon her minions, the three people Link met earlier. "Those guys are ?"

"Everyone I failed, the princess is just too strong, fine we will leave your kingdom for good." Said the Goddess as she turned to Mipha.

"Leave, and take your monsters with you." The Goddess's minions used the pokeballs to return all the Pokemons they unleashed on Zora's Domain, of course Muzu had no idea what they're doing, but Link does, but he's still unable to process the current events.

"We retrieved all our monsters Lady Ishtar." Said Reinhardt as he helped picked Ishtar up.

"You win Mipha, this will be our last time meeting." Ishtar used her magic to teleport her and her minions away.

"Is is it over ?" Asked Muzu who is walking closer to Mipha.

"Yes, they're gone, and I'll make sure they will never came back." Answered Mipha.

With the problem solved, Muzu stand on the middle of the Throne Room and announced to the people that the battle is over. Hearing this the Zora citizens coming out from the shrine one by one to take a look, they see none of the monsters are present anymore.

Muzu then announced further. "Citizens of Zora's Domain, the Thunder Goddess is no more ! Princess Mipha have won !" With this the citizens begin chanting and cheering Mipha's name.

Soon Bazz, Sidon, Gaddison, Rivan, and Dunma albeit the two walked slowly arrived at the Throne Room, Muzu also praised the knights, Prince Sidon, and Link for successfully evacuating the people, defeating the Lynel, and saving King Dorephan, speaking of which King Dorephan himself also arrived to the Throne Room.

"Father ? What are you doing getting out of bed ? You still need to rest." Said Sidon.

"I'm fine son, I've tested plenty, my country is in danger and i spend the entire time in bed, hardly an example for a king, Link I thank you for saving me from those flying eel monsters, and Mipha, what you did today was incredible, when I saw you standing in front of my eyes, I thought I was dreaming, but this truly is a miracle, you've returned to us, and furthermore at this time of crisis, you've shown excellent leadership and judgement, Zora's Domain future will be right under your guidance." Answered King Dorephan.

"Oh father, you're too kind, I was just..." Mipha tried to humble herself.

"Doing your duty ? And you did an excellent job my daughter, why maybe it's time for me to retire, I'll be looking forward to your coronation, Queen Mipha." The last line spoken by King Dorephan shocks everyone present.

"M-me ? A queen ?" Mipha expressing her shock.

"Wow way to go sis ! Congrats, you really earn this !" Sidon hugged Mipha, congratulating his sister.

"I didn't think I'm able to witness such joyous occasion." Said Muzu. "And loved long enough to see Mipha queen."

The Zora knights kneel before Mipha, "Our spear will be the kingdom's shield, future Queen Mipha."

"Tonight we feast !" Announced King Dorephan to celebrate Mipha's victory against the Thunder Goddess. The Zora's roared in excitement as they begin to prepare for the party

"Oh yeah ! Party time !" Sidon the wrapped his arms around Link shoulder. "Link you play a part in this too, for saving my father, you will join us in celebration ! I'm not letting you get away."

Link lets out a small laugh as he know he can't refuse.

"That's the spirit Link, join us, you're like a family to us." King Dorephan also insisted for Link to stay as well.

Zora's Domain - Seabed Inn

To celebrate Mipha's victory the Zora's party all night, Link however decided to turn in early, because he's still suspicious and so not in a party mood, he retreated to the inn to sort his thought.

Link decided to communicate to Zelda telepathically to talk to her. ("Zelda can you hear me ?")

("Link ? Yes I hear you, so how are things on your end ?") Asked Zelda.

Link then explained the entire thing to Zelda. ("I'm at a loss at what to do, the way Muzu explained it, I mean it's like it's a one sided beatdown rather than actual fight, and the Thunder Goddess seemed to just chose to retreat that easily, Mipha also looked a lot like she was 100 years ago, so what about you ? How are things on your end ?")

("I see, I'm fine really, i already assured the people there's nothing to fear, I'll be right with you shortly, this is just a guess on my part, but I believe this Mipha is the Warriors of Fallen Stars one.") Answered Zelda. ("I mean you said her appearance is exactly the same as 100 years ago, if she's alive she should aged like everyone else, and if you remember what the Zelda from Hero of Time era said, by using the Ocarina of Time she split Hyrule into three timeline.")

("I remember that, even though that Zelda sent that Link back to the past to expose Ganondorf treachery, they effectively altered the past.") Said Link.

("Correct, but that didn't erase the timeline where the Hero of Time faced Ganondorf and won, in fact that timeline remain to exist which lead to the Hero of Wind era.") Continued Zelda.

("And the timeline where Link able to expose Ganondorf is what led to the Hero of Twilight era.") Added Link. ("So this must be...")

("Yes, while Sidon able to save Mipha by travelling to the past, all he did was creating a new timeline where the champions survive, the Mipha from our timeline is still dead and now used as a puppet for the enemy.") Answered Zelda.

("But that didn't explain why Mipha and Ishtar, that's the name of the Goddess of Thunder fighting each other if they're on the same side.") Link still wondering about this part.

("I believe this isn't a fight, but more like a performance, With Sidon travelled back to the past, he led to believe Mipha of this timeline would avoid her death, while that isn't the case in truth, and then having the Zora's suffers from problems like monsters that can generate electricity around, and King Dorephan under attack, I believe the goal of this is to put Mipha on the throne.") Explained Zelda. ("Mipha is being set up as the hero that free the Zora Domain from oppression.")

("Think about it, Mipha is beloved by the people, and with her supposed heroism the people will put their utmost trust in her, not realizing that Mipha is just a puppet queen to serve the bidding of Neo Subspace Army.") Explained Zelda. ("With Mipha on the throne Zora's Domain, or even the entire Lanayru Province is now under the enemy control.")

("And with people placed their faith in her...")

("I think it's impossible to expose her Link, even though the younger Zora's have no issues with you and the elder Zora's already forgiven you it's difficult to expose Mipha, the perceived betrayal will shocks them hard.") Added Zelda.

("Isn't there anything we can do ? If we stay silent Zora's Domain are now under Neo Subspace Army control, and if we expose Mipha no one will believe me, and if they do Mipha could be vilified and accused as a traitor.") Link is clutching his head.

("Whoever come up with this must be skilled in political manipulation, creating a problem, and setting up a hero to solve the problem, this is clearly a false flag operation.") Revealed Zelda.

("You sure know a lot about this Zelda.") Commented Link.

("For royalty like me things like this aren't new to me, I'm just lucky I don't have any treacherous or power hungry family members or subjects.")

("Anyway Link, my best bet is to tell Sidon about this, there's a strong chance the mastermind behind this will want to congratulate Mipha and Ishtar for their successful performance and to brief them on their next mission, you need to spy on Mipha, and have Sidon with you to eavesdrop on her, I'll be there soon, I have other business to attend to.")

After that Link's conversation with Zelda is over, Link turned around to see a female Zora in very close proximity.

"Gaah !" Link is shocked so bad he jumped from his bed. "Kodah ! Why are you !?"

"I've been trying to talk to you Linny, I saw you staring into space so I tried to talk, but you didn't respond to me." Said Kodah.

"Oh, sorry, I've been lost in thought." Link apologized to Kodah.

"It's okay, but thinking about what exactly ? The princess won, and she's going to be coronated in the future ? Oh could it be it's about your future with Princess Mipha ?" Asked Kodah.

"Huh ? What are you ?" Link is confused by Kodah question.

"Well the Princess always have feelings for you, and with her death the wedding she wished for never happened, but now that the princess have returned surely you're going to marry her right ? Though I guess for commoners like us suddenly jumping to a world of politics does sounds like a huge transition, but I'm sure you'll be fine, there aren't that many problems in here after all, and I'm sure King Dorephan and Prince Sidon will happily guide you along the way."

"I guess..." Link can't seem to think of an answer.

"Do you remember when I first met you Linny, I also have a thing for you, but with the Calamity and all I thought you and the princess have perished, it was the saddest day of my life." Said Kodah. "But there Kayden was stood by my side and helping me get through it all, we fell in love and now we're blessed with a daughter of our own."

"I'm sorry about that, I must've made you worry." Replied Link.

"Don't be, because of this experience, well I'm happy with my marriage, so I hope you and princess Mipha will found happiness together."

"Umm..yeah thanks, so how's Kayden and Finley ?" Asked Link.

"Asleep, Kayden was partying really hard earlier it's getting embarrassing, but then again there's nothing wrong with letting loose once in a while, the inn have been busy, and there's a lot of work to be done." Answered Kodah. "Kayden deserve to relax now and then."

As Link listens to Kodah talking he saw a Zora in a distance walking at the eastern bridge that leads to Ploymus Mountain, and it's not just any Zora, but Princess Mipha herself. Seeing this Link decided to get up from his bed and ran after her.

"Link where are you going ?" Asked Kodah.

"Sorry Kodah, I forgot there's something I need to do." Said Link.

"At this late at night ?" Asked Kodah.

"Yeah, it's urgent you see, give my regards to Kayden and Finley." Link rushed ahead as he leave the inn.

Zora's Domain

Link run towards the domain and went to the eastern bridge, but before then Zelda teleported in front of Mipha's statue. "Alright Link I'm here."

"Zelda ! Does that mean you're done with the people ?" Asked Link.

"Yes, Impa will take temporary leadership until then, now let's go get Sidon." Link and Zelda went to the throne room to get Sidon, but they don't have too as he's also walking outside.

"Sidon !" Exclaimed Link which Sidon noticed.

"Oh Link and Princess Zelda, when did you get here ?" Asked Sidon.

"Just now, so I've been talking with Link telepathically, so I wanted to congratulate Mipha, I know it's late, but I'll be busy the following days so..here I am now." Bluffed Zelda.

"Well, now's not a good time though, I can't find her anywhere, and with everyone else asleep from the festivities I can't ask if anyone saw her."

"Well I do, I saw her walking to the eastern bridge." Stated Link.

"Eastern bridge ? Why would she go there ?" Asked Sidon.

"Sidon, this may not what you want to hear, but Mipha...never mind, you just have to come with us and hear it yourself." Zelda then teleport the three of them to the eastern bridge and follow Mipha.

Ploymus Mountain

The trio arrived at Ploymus Mountain, Zelda used her magic to sense Mipha's presence. "There !" Zelda pointed at the waterfall, they saw Mipha climbed the waterfall and reached the top.

"What is she doing there ?" Asked Sidon.

"Sidon, you may not like what you're going to hear, do you still want to go ?" Asked Zelda.

"The way you put it it's like you think my sister is up to no good." Replied Sidon.

"Unfortunately that is the case, right now Mipha is our enemy." Added Link, much to Sidon's disbelief.

"Link how could you say that !? my sister she..."

"We will explain everything later, but now we need you to calm down and come with us." Zelda enveloped the trio in a small sphere of light and fly above the waterfall.

As they reached the top they returned to their normal selves, they saw Mipha talking to the Thunder Goddess and her minions.

"That's the Thunder Goddess and her minions, what she's doing with them ?" Questioned Sidon.

Soon after a dark portal appeared, revealing a sinister looking man dressed in black cloak, he seems to have pale skin.

"Hey isn't that the fortune teller who prophesize Hyrule's destruction ?" Whispered Link.

"Yes, I remember I believe his name was Astor ?" Answered Zelda.

Astor arrived and spoke to Mipha and the others. "Well done..ahem, I believe you forgot something."

Mipha and the others kneel before Astor. "We completed our mission Lord Astor."

"Much better, now rise." Mipha and the others stand up. "Your missions are successful, now the Zora's Domain is under our control, Mipha, Ishtar you two are the MVP for this mission."

"You won't get away with this." Threatened Mipha.

"I don't have time for your empty threats, but I'm here for now just to congratulate on a job well done, Fred, nice job using those Chinchous to lure that Lynel to the Domain, these Pokemons loyal to their trainers and yet they possess various techniques, they are much more useful then our monsters, anyway Ishtar, you and your minions head back to the base, Reinhardt and Fred, Astarte looks forward to your return."

"No please.. no more of that." The two men begged begged for Astor not to hand them over to Astarte.

"Something the matter ? You two are going to be rewarded, well due to your success Ishtar and Olwen doesn't have to watch, of course also due to your success Astarte won't lay a hand on Julius for now." Astor smirked to Ishtar, which makes her uncomfortable. "Now come along, all of you are on standby until further instructions." Astor create a dark portal and Ishtar and the others entered the portal, after that the portal closes, Mipha went back to Zora's Domain."

Sidon then fall to his knees. "What kind of sick joke is this ? They were working together ? Is this..some sort of scheme to take the throne ? Mipha...what happened ? Why would you resort to such underhanded methods ?"

"I'm sorry Sidon, but Mipha, she's a revenant bound by our enemy." Said Zelda.

"Revenant ? But I went back to the past ! I saved her, your machine Terrako, that's what brought me to the past." Explained Sidon. "And not just me ! Riju, Teba, Yunobo they all got brought to the past as well."

"I see, so Terrako the reason you travelled to the past, but I'm sorry Sidon, despite changing the past it did nothing to this timeline." Explained Zelda. "Have you noticed that Mipha looks the same as she was 100 years ago ? If she was still alive shouldn't she aged ?"

"But that's...then all that effort for nothing ?" Sidon broke down in tears. "What kind of sick joke is this..."

"I don't know if it's for nothing, but your actions have created another timeline where the champions survived." Stated Zelda.

"Sidon, please listen, in order to save Mipha we need you to work with us, right now she's a puppet controlled by our enemy the Neo Subspace Army, to free her we're going to resurrect her." Explained Link, Sidon hearing this looked up and grabbed Link's shoulder.

"Resurrect her ? Can you really do that ?"

"Yes, though it's not easy, but that's our goal, in the meantime we need you to informed us of Mipha's actions when she behaves suspiciously." Zelda hand Sidon a golden plate. "Use this to contact us." Zelda then taught Sidon on how to use the golden plate.

"So my sister, she's forced against her will to do their bidding ?" Asked Sidon.

"Yes, Mipha is the same kind person as she is, she's just unable to disobey her masters, Mipha is far from the only one who suffers from necromancy, and we wished to save them all." Stated Zelda.

"Wait that reminds me, what about the other provinces ? Daruk, Urbosa and Revali ?" Realized Link.

"Urbosa and Daruk were rulers of their nations, but Revali is their greatest warrior, he may not have authority, but his skill would drive people to flock to him for help." Said Zelda. "At the very least he will be more popular than Kaneli."

"Right Zelda, can you just resurrect Mipha right now ?" Asked Link. "Surely you're powerful enough to do so."

"It's too late for Mipha, she's going back to her city, if I do something in public they could see it as me attacking Mipha, and so I just have to test it on the other champions, if what happens to Zora's Domain happens on the other civilizations as well." Explained Zelda.

"Leave my sister to me, I'll be sure to keep you informed." Said Sidon.

"Thanks Sidon, but could you keep this a secret, if Mipha knew you're on to her, she might going to set you up to be killed, and our enemy will bound your soul as they did Mipha." Explained Zelda.

"Understood, I'll be as discreet as possible, so this Neo Subspace Army, that's the faction my sister currently belongs to ?" Asked Sidon.

"Yes, their reach is universe spanning, Hyrule is just another world they have they're eyes on, there are many others." Answered Link.

"But shouldn't I..." Link then stopped Sidon.

"Sorry Sidon, we'd like for you to come with us, but we need you here to keep an eye on Mipha, our friends in other worlds, they have their kingdoms taken from them, at least the Zora Domain isn't conquered through invasion." Explained Link. "With you here, you're still capable of informing us of their plans."

"Okay, I won't let you down, please informed me if you can resurrect the other champions, I'm going back to the Domain for now." Sidon then left Link and Zelda and return home.

"You think it's wise to involve Sidon in our battle ?" Asked Link.

"There's so many of them and few of us, I'd say the more allies we have the better, I'm planning to give this to Riju, Teba, and Yunobo, I already gave one to Impa before I came here." Answered Zelda.

"Okay, I trust your judgement, now then let's go, let's go to Gerudo Town first." Link then offered his hand to Zelda.

"Link ? We don't have to hold hands to teleport you know ?" Asked Zelda.

"Fine, a kiss then ?" Smirked Link.

"Very funny Link." Chuckled Zelda.

"Hey you did told me to lighten up, so I'm just doing what you told me." After that brief banter Zelda teleported Link to Gerudo Town.

Daqo Chisay Shrine

Link and Zelda arrived at the shrine outside Gerudo Town.

"We're here, and Link you need to wear a disguise here before right ?" Asked Zelda.

"Yes, I'm going inside the shrine to change so wait a bit okay." Said Link. "Oh and Zelda...no peeking."

"I won't Link." Huffed Zelda.

After a few minutes Link came out from the shrine using the outfit he used to enter Gerudo Town.

"I have to say that outfit looks good on you." Commented Zelda.

"Somehow I never knew whether to accept it as compliment or not." Anyway let's go, and don't get distracted by my abs."

"Would you stop teasing !" Complained an annoyed Zelda. The two of them burst into laughter soon after.

Link then stop in his tracks. "Hold on this is night time, do you think we can get to the castle ?"

"I doubt it, let's find an inn to sleep." Suggested Zelda.

With that said Link and Zelda entered the Gerudo Town and went to the inn.

Gerudo Town - Hotel Oasis

Link and Zelda arrived at the hotel to sleep for the night. They speak to Romah to book a room.

"Vassaq...didn't expect to see a customer this late." Commented Romah seeing Link and Zelda.

"Yeah, we would like a room please." Said Zelda.

"Alright, 20 rupees please." Zelda then pay Romah 20 rupees, then the two of them head to their room.

"Well here we are, let's go to bed, we have lot of things to do tomorrow." Zelda then looked at Link. "Link ? You okay ?"

Link is sighing. "Not really, I mean two separate beds ?"

Zelda understood what Link meant, blushing hard and threw a pillow at the Hylian. "Link you animal." Zelda then picked up the pillow and hugged it. "Mmm..you really want to do it ?"

This time it's Link that's blushing. "Umm...well I'm just joking about that, I mean now's not the right time for it...you know what I mean."

"Y-yeah, let's just go to sleep." Link and Zelda decided to go to sleep in their respective beds, the two felt awkward towards each other. Link starting to regret making that joke.

The next morning...

Link and Zelda left the hotel after a night sleep, they still rather awkward with each other.

"So uhh...you slept well ?" Asked Link.

"I'm...fine, okay this can't go on, thanks to you I'm starting to imagining weird things Link." Complained Zelda who's face is red.

"Okay I'm sorry, let's just calm down and focus on our mission at hand." Link and Zelda take a deep breath and clear their head, after all unrelated teenagers sleeping in the same room could lead into recipe for disaster.

"Okay I'm calmed down, now let's go to the palace." The two Hylians head to the palace.

Gerudo Town - Palace

As Link and Zelda take the stairs that leads to the palace, they entered the building, but to their surprise it's not Riju that sits on the throne, but Urbosa.

"Welcome to Gerudo Town little bird, now what brings you to our home ?" Asked Urbosa.

As Zelda and Link figuring out what to say Buliara begin explaining. "I know this sounds confusing, but lady Riju travel back in time and rescue lady Urbosa, and now here she is."

"Thank you for the explanations Buliara, it's as she says, thanks to Riju, I survived the war and here I am." Said Urbosa.

"So where's Riju ?" Asked Zelda.

"Playing with Patricia at the desert, lady Riju decided to step down for the time being, and left the governing to lady Urbosa." Answered Buliara.

"I have faith Riju will be an excellent leader one day, but you have to admit she still a kid, ruling a country isn't what a child supposed to do." Added Urbosa.

"I see, yes I admit you have a point, I'm sorry Buliara, but we need to speak in private, I mean it's been a long time since I saw Urbosa after all." Stated Zelda.

Buliara looked at Urbosa as she nodded to the bodyguard, Buliara then left the throne room, leaving Urbosa with Link and Zelda.

"Urbosa, I know you're still dead, this is Neo Subspace Army missions is it ?" Asked Zelda. "We came from Zora's Domain, and saw Mipha seizing the throne."

"There's no need to lie with you Little bird, after all you belong to the group that oppose us, yes it is as you said." Admitted Urbosa. "But unlike Mipha I don't need to do any scheming to get the throne, when I showed up at the palace Riju offered me the chieftain position, and because this is my mission, I was forced to accept." Explained Urbosa.

"So there's no mission to get the throne ?" Asked Zelda.

"Of course there is, but since Riju offered me the position there's no need for that mission to be executed." Explained Urbosa. "In Mipha's case King Dorephan is going to rule for a while, that's why he must be removed from the throne, and since the current chieftain is still just a preteen girl, there won't be too much hassle for me to take the throne."

"If you and Mipha are here does that mean ?" Asked Link.

"If you're going to ask if Daruk and Revali are here then yes, they're at the Goron City and Rito Village respectively." Answered Urbosa.

"Hmm..I have no doubt Daruk will assume leadership again, Bludo is getting old, not to mention his chronic back pain." Commented Link.

"Urbosa we're going to resurr..." Urbosa then quickly shut Zelda off.

"I'm going to stop you there Little Bird, we know what you're going to do, bringing us back to life, that would remove our control from the enemy." Said Urbosa.

"You knew ? Then why you stop me ?" Asked Zelda.

"We we're given new order, should anyone tried to resurrect us, we were told to attack that person without mercy." Explained Urbosa. "And to make sure we stay as their puppet rulers, we were given orders to lie to our subjects to keep up the act."

"They gave you such order ?" Asked Link.

"Yes, unfortunately that's why if you insists on resurrecting us,.conflict is inevitable, and this isn't the right place to do it, should a fight breaks out there's a chance the relationship between Gerudo Town and Hyrule will be strained, seeing the Hylian princess attacking the Gerudo chieftain, when my subordinates come here I'm going to be forced to lie to vilify you." Explained Urbosa.

"But you can tell us this much ?" Asked Link.

"At this point it's too late for you, whether you're doing something or not the odds are not in your favor, that's why I can tell you this much." Explained Urbosa.

"I'm guessing you can't tell us the Neo Subspace Armies plan ?" Asked Link.

"Sorry, I can't, I haven't even received further orders anyway." Answered Urbosa.

"I see, I guess we'll be on our way then." Zelda and Link decided to leave the palace, but then she turned around to see Urbosa again. "I promise we will save you." Link and Zelda left the palace.

Gerudo Town

"Well, we got more info, but it seems the hurdle is just getting higher." Said Zelda.

"Honestly I believe the two of us can take Urbosa, but it's as she said this is her home turf, and Buliara is still at the palace, should we end up fighting she's going to hear the ruckus and summon the guards to subdue us." Added Link.

"And we don't need the entire Gerudo Town against us." Continued Zelda.

"So what now ? Should we head back or see how things in Goron City and Rito Village ?" Asked Zelda.

"We should look some more, I'm thinking if going to Goron City and then Rito Village, my best bet is reviving Revali, since he's not a leader we should be able to fight him off without risking a war...well Rito Village isn't exactly a superpower anyway." Explained Link.

"So Rito Village next then ?" Asked Zelda.

"No, were going to Goron City first, let's head back to the shrine so I can get changed first." Link and Zelda left Gerudo Town and head to Daqo Chisay Shrine.

With the two Hylians reached the shrine Link went inside to changed his clothes. "Alright I'm going to go and get changed, no peeking okay Zel." Once again Link is teasing Zelda.

"I won't Link...I already savor the moment." Zelda mumbled the last sentence.

After a few minutes Link came out from the shrine, this time wearing a flamebreaker armor.

"Okay I'm ready, let's go." Said Link.

However before they leave they saw a Gerudo child riding a sand seal and headed their way. "Link, Zelda it's nice to see you again !"

"Hello Riju, it's good to see you again." Replied Link.

"You won't believe what just happened to me I..." Link interjected the Gerudo child.

"We know, you travel back in time and saved Urbosa right ?" Answered Link.

"Oh you knew ? Well not long when I'm back to this time Urbosa went to the palace and asked if she could reclaim her position for the time being." Said Riju.

"And you just give your position away to her ?" Asked Zelda.

"Yes, Urbosa have more experience in being a chieftain more than I do, but that doesn't mean all I do is slacking off, later this afternoon I'm going to study." Said Riju.

"I see, well anyway Riju I have something for you." Zelda gave Riju a golden plate.

"What's this ? A gold bar ? Not to brag, but I already have a lot of these at the palace." Riju examining the golden plate.

"It's not a gold bar, it's a communication device, it's so we can contact each other even if we're far apart." Explained Zelda.

"Really ? That's amazing." Riju seems awed at such device.

"Yeah, but please keep it a secret from Urbosa." Warned Zelda.

"Why should I keep it a secret ?" Riju is confused by Zelda's statement.

"Because Urbosa is still traumatized by technology, she tried to put on a brave face, but after seeing the guardians and divine beasts corrupted, she became distrustful of technology." This is the answer Zelda come up with.

"Okay, I'll make sure Urbosa doesn't know, thanks for this." Riju thanked the two Hylians as she returned to the town.

"That was quite a lie you come up with." Link commented on Zelda's 'silver tongue.'

"Sorry I just can't tell her Urbosa is our enemy for now." Answered Zelda.

"By the way where did you get those golden plates ? Were the gods making more of those ?" Asked Link.

"Not really, that other business I said earlier was me visiting Malanya and the four great fairies, they agreed to help us by creating more golden plates." Answered Zelda. "Anyway enough talk, let's go to Goron City."

"Wait Zel, that place is burning hot, you need to have something that protects you from heat."

"Oh right." Zelda then used her magic on herself. "Now with this magic spell I'll be protected from extreme heat." With preparations complete Link used the Sheikah Slate to teleport to Goron City.

Goron City

Link and Zelda arrived at Shae Mo'sah Shrine which is located in the cliff northeast of Goron City, Goron City located at Death Mountain which is a volano, the temperature is incredibly high, making it a dangerous place to go, however there are ways to counter the brutal heat such as using the Flamebreaker equipment or consuming Fireproof Elixir, or using magic as it's what Zelda does.

the two Hylians make their way to Goron City in order to meet Daruk, as they entered the city Yunobo saw them and greeted them. "Link ! Zelda ! HEEEY !" He waved his hand and approached the two Hylians.

"Yunobo ? It's good to see you again." Replied Link.

"This is great timing, you won't believe what happens to me, see..." And of course Link and Zelda interjected.

"Let us guess, you went to the past and saved Daruk right ?" Questioned Zelda.

"Uhh.. yes that's right, how do you know ?" Asked Yunobo.

"We sorta went to Zora Domain and Gerudo Town already, Sidon and Riju said the same thing to us." Answered Link.

"Oh I see, well anyway I'm just glad I'm able to save Daruk." Yunobo expressed his happiness.

"Speaking of which where is Daruk ?" Asked Zelda.

"If you're looking for him he's at Bludo's House, thanks to his age and back pain Bludo willingly hand over leadership to Daruk until a young successor can be found." Explained Yunobo.

Link and Zelda glanced at each other before turning their attention back to Yunobo. "Can you take us there ?" Asked Link.

"Sure follow me." Yunobo then takes the two Hylians to Bludo's House.

Goron City - Bludo's House

"Here we are, Sir Daruk, you have a visitor." Yunobo called out to Daruk who is inside the house.

Daruk hear Yunobo's voice and stepped out. "Visitor ? Who could that be ?" Daruk then saw Link and Zelda, he can't contain his excitement and proceed to hug the two Hylians. "Link ! Zelda ! It's great to see you again !"

"It's good to see you too Daruk, we heard you're back to life." Commented Zelda as Daruk put them down.

"Yep, Yunobo saved me and now here we are fellow champions in the flesh !" Exclaimed Daruk.

"We know, we've met Mipha and Urbosa already." Said Zelda.

"Mmm you know Yunobo do you mind leave us alone, we would like to talk to Daruk in private, politics are more likely involved." Said Zelda.

"Okay, I wouldn't understand such heavy topic anyway." Yunobo then left the house leaving only Link, Zelda, and Daruk.

"I think Yunobo is no longer within earshot, I guess just like Urbosa you don't need to put on a show like Mipha did." Stated Link. "Is Bludo here by the way ?"

"He's asleep, so he won't be able to hear our conversation, and yes it is as you say, because Bludo is getting too old he just offered me the patriarch position, so as of now I'm the Gordon Patriarch, and a puppet patriarch to be honest." Lamented Daruk.

"We wish we can resurrect you right here and now, but Urbosa said.." Daruk then interjects Zelda.

"Yeah, we have to fight, and a brawl in public like this would make the Gorons felt betrayed by the Hylians, seeing the Hylian princess attacking the Goron Patriarch would strain our relations with another." Explained Daruk.

"What if we do it in an isolated place ?" Asked Link.

"That would mean I'm going to let myself be resurrected on purpose, and I can't do that." Explained Daruk.

"The higher ups really giving you airtight orders do they ? Their commands seems not to have any loopholes to exploit." Complained Link.

"Even if there is I'm not allowed to say it, you're right they're really good as wording their commands." Lamented Daruk.

"And I'm guessing we're not allowed to know who gave you the orders ?" Asked Zelda. "Is it...Astor ?"

"How did you ...? No never mind, Astor is our direct superior, but above him even we don't know who it is." Answered Daruk.

"We sorta caught a glimpse of Astor, alright the last thing we need is to cause commotion, we'll take our leave now." Zelda says her goodbye to Daruk as the two Hylians make their way out.

But then a figure called out to Link and Zelda, he's an elderly Goron with white beard and eye patch on his left eye. "Link ! Zelda ! What a surprise ! You didn't tell me you were coming !"

"Oh hello Bludo, I see you just woke up ?" Link greeted the former patriarch.

"Yep, oh and I see you've met Daruk, see Yunobo told me about his time travel and I didn't believe him, but then Daruk himself showed up and..."

"We know Bludo, Yunobo already told us, we're glad the past is changed and the champions survived, well we're off to Rito Village now, and uuhhh congrats on retiring ?" Said Link awkwardly as he scratches his head.

"I hate to say it, but I'm not as young as I used to, and since I haven't decided on a successor the great Daruk can fill the position until the next patriarch can be found." Answered Bludo.

"Hopefully you'll find someone, alright Zelda let us go." Link and Zelda waved goodbye to Daruk and Bludo as they head to the shrine, and on their way they come across Yunobo again.

"Leaving already ? I kinda wish you'd stay a while longer." Yunobo saddened to see Link and Zelda left to soon.

"Yeah, sorry but we're going to Rito Village, we need to see Revali." Said Link.

"Oh yeah we managed to save Revali too, if Daruk is here then Revali should be at the village too." Said Yunobo.

"Before we leave, here Yunobo this is for you." Zelda gave him a golden plate.

"A gold plate ?" Yunobo looked confused.

"It's a communication device, it will let us keep in touch despite our distance, but keep it a secret from Daruk, he's still traumatized with technology." Zelda then insteuct Yunobo in how to use the golden plate. "And this is how you use it."

"Thanks princess Zelda, and okay I'll keep it a secret from Daruk, hopefully he's able to overcome his trauma of technology soon."

And with that Link and Zelda is done with Goron City and headed to Rito Village. Link used his Sheikah Slate to teleport to Akh Va'quot shrine in Rito Village.

Rito Village

Link and Zelda arrived at Akh Va'quot Shrine which is located in a cliff north of Rito Village connected by a bridge. Through this way Link and Zelda make their way to Rito Village.

"We should go and see chief Kaneli first, if anyone's informed about Revali's return he should be the first." Suggested Link.

"Okay, then let's head there." Agreed Zelda as the two of them went to Kaneli's house.

Rito Village - Kaneli's House

Link and Zelda arrived at Kaneli's house and greeted the owl like chief. "Good afternoon Chief Kaneli."

"Link and Zelda, what a pleasant surprise, to what do I owe this pleasure ?" Asked Kaneli. "Well I can guess at least why you're here."

"If we're talking about Revali then yes, that's why we're here." Answered Zelda.

"I knew it, you see Teba went back to the past and..." Link then interjected the Rito chief.

"He managed to rescue Revali ? We've been to Zora's Domain, Gerudo Town, and Goron City, it seems the same thing happened to Sidon, Yunobo, and Riju, so Teba got sent back to the past as well ?" Answered Link.

"Yes, he and Tulin got sent as well, but Teba said on Tulin's case it's an accident, we're just glad the poor boy is saved." Said Kaneli who is relieved.

"Well we're glad Tulin is fine as well, so where is Revali ?" Asked Link.

"He's at the Flight Range, mentoring the men in archery, this current time may be peaceful now, but there's nothing wrong with being prepared as well." Explained Kaneli. "If you wished to see him, he should be there."

"I see, thank you chief, we'll be in our way then." Link and Zelda left Kaneli's house and return back to Akh Va'quot Shrine.

Akh Va'quot Shrine

"Revali is training the Ritos, I have a bad feeling about this, do you think this is what Neo Subspace Army has in store for Revali ?" Questioned Link.

"It's possible, archers makes fine long range fighter, and the Rito's can technically fly." Replied Zelda.

"So let's pool together what we learned so far, during our absence Sidon, Riju, Yunobo, and Teba got sent to the past and able to save the champions from their demise." Said Link.

"And based on what Sidon said, Terrako the little robot resembling the guardian I have is the reason they're able to go to the past, honestly I didn't expect Terrako had that kind of power." Added Zelda.

Link continued, "They think by altering the past they saved the champions, but..."

"That's not what actually happened, their actions created a new timeline, not changing this one, because the champions looks exactly as they were 100 years ago, and during my visit to Malanya and the great fairies, Lon Lon Ranch and Akala Lab is still in ruins." Added Zelda. "When you told me about Mipha's return I ended up teleporting to those places to found there aren't any changes happened there."

"And what they didn't know the champions are a part of Neo Subspace Army, unable to defy their superior's orders." Added Link.

"To make things complicated they were ordered to fight in case we're trying to resurrect them, and lie to the people to either frame us as the bad guy or to remain as Neo Subspace Army puppet rulers. And since the champions were beloved it would make things difficult for us to expose them, looking at Sidon's reaction either the Hylians will be their enemy if we attack them, or they feel betrayed by the champions they revere so much." Added Zelda.

"If we're doing it in towns like this, the champions can lie and frame us due to their orders." Continued Link.

"But if we do it in private and isolation, there's no witness to lie to, and should we win we can resurrect them and free them from Neo Subspace Army control." Realized Zelda.

"But we must win if we're going to fight, if they're able to get away they could return and tell the people Princess Zelda is attacking the champions." Warned Link.

"But what I don't get is how the enemy know they time travelled to the past ?" Pondered Link.

"Well we're not the only ones that had a deities on our side, the enemy had deities on their side too." Replied Zelda.

"So what ? You think the enemy deities observing Hyrule and exploit the event to suit their plans ?" Asked Link.

"That's a huge possibility Link, which is why we're going to assess the situation first, we need to see Revali, let's go to Flight Range." Said Zelda.

"Yes, we'll go there, though Revali isn't exactly someone I'm thrilled to see." Groaned Link.

"Well you told me he mellowed out after you save him right ? Maybe this time he could be more civil to you ?" Guessed Zelda.

"It's possible, but I'm not getting my hopes up, anyway let's go to Sha Warvo Shrine, we can get to the Flight Range from there, but I warned you that place is cold and snowy,.it's located in Hebra Mountain after all" Warned Link.

"It's okay, just like at Goron City I'll just use my magic to protect me from the cold, would you like me to cast a spell on you too Link ?" Offered Zelda.

"Yes please, it would be faster that way." Link then used his Sheikah Slate and teleported to Sha Warvo Shrine.

Sha Warvo Shrine

Link and Zelda teleported to Sha Warvo Shrine, and just like Link said the place is cold and snow can be seen everywhere, luckily there aren't any snowstorms at the moment, with the magic cast on Link and Zelda the two of them protected from the cold of Hebra Mountain.

As Link been here before he led the way until they saw what's it like a hut near a large chasm.

"That's the place, let's go Zel." Link and Zelda approached the hut located on top of the rock pillar as the two Hylians climbed the ladder.

Flight Range

As they arrived they saw many Rito males here practicing their archery by jumping towards the chasm, since the chasm produced extreme updrafts no one have to worry about falling as the air just push them upwards anyway.

"Alright Tulin is your turn, there's no need to feel ashamed if you make a mistake, everyone started out by making lots of mistakes at their first time, once you keep practicing and not giving up you will sooner or later get it right." Revali is seen mentoring a young Rito boy, as Tulin jumped towards the chasm and begin shooting his arrows.

"Thank you for the encouragement Master Revali, I do hope Tulin can learn from the master himself." Thanked Teba.

"Your skills are excellent yourself, the boy could learn from the father himself, but I suppose to gather knowledge you need to learn from many people as possible." Replied Revali as he watched Tulin shooting his arrows, several arrows miss the target, but several more also hits the targets. "The boy seems to do it nicely, I'm sure it's due to your teaching as well."

"Alright ! Listen up !" Revali gather everyone's attention. "Just because Calamity Ganon is gone, that's never an excuse to be complacent, danger can appear when we least expect them, so should the time come we'll be ready for it !" The Rito's shouted in unison as they agreed with Revali's words.

Revali then noticed Link and Zelda as they stand in the back of the hut. "Well now if it isn't my favourite Hylian...and Link."

Link respond sarcastically. "Wow it's good to see you too, still the same as always."

"Calm down I only jest, I have to admit your skills are the real deal." Revali then bowed his head to Link. "Link, I wanted to say I'm sorry for my previous hostility, it was foolish of me to be too quick to judge, I realize there's got to be a reason why you were selected for such important position."

Link is taken aback by Revali sudden humility, but he accepts the apology either way. "Yes, so I'm sorry too if I acted indifferent to anything myself, I suppose there should be a better way to cope with the pressure of being a knight." Link also apologized to Revali.

"Link ? Zelda ? What brings you here ?" Asked Teba. "Wait, let me guess, did you possibly heard of Master Revali's revival ?"

"Umm...yes, that is the case, we've been to Zora's Domain, Gerudo Town, and Goron City as well to see if the stories are true, and with Revali's here all the champions survived their demise." Answered Zelda.

"That's to be expected, I was there after all, I witness everything." Confirmed Teba.

A black Rito them speak up. "Yeah, see none of us believe Teba when he said those tall tales, but then Master Revali appeared and we'll imagine my shock."

"Harth ? You're here too ?" Link surprised to see Harth here.

"Yes, when master Revali shows up we all asked to be trained, so I close the store for the time being, you can't imagine my daughter kept nagging at me not to go." Sighed Harth.

"Well you were hurt when you decided to face Vah Medoh before, no wonder she tried to stop you." Replied Link.

As Tulin is done with his training he returned to the hut and expressed his excitement when he saw Link. "Link ! You're here !"

"Hey Tulin, I see you begin your training to be a warrior like your father too."

"Yep, when I grow up in going to be a strong Rito like my dad and Master Revali here, and to be as strong as you one day." Said the excited Rito boy.

"Well you got the enthusiasm, make sure you don't neglect your training okay, don't give up when things gets tough, take your time and no need to rush." Link give Tulin a piece of advice.

"Well training is over for today, let us head back to the village for today, we will continue our lesson tomorrow." With that Revali declared today's training is over and the Rito's fly back to the village, leaving Revali alone with Link and Zelda.

"So I'm guessing you know some of my words is an act right ?" Asked Revali. "Although to clarified I'm being honest about me apologizing, and acknowledging you Link, after all I'm the enemies pawn here, not you."

"So the training of Rito's, does it have anything to do with Neo Subspace Army's missions ?" Asked Link.

"You know I'm ordered to not reveal anything, I can't say it." Said Revali.

Zelda tried to read Revali's mind, but to her surprise she can't find anything. " Weird, I can't hear anything."

"We have psychics on our side too you know, they placed psychic blockade on us to prevent mind reading." Explained Revali.

"Revali we heard from the others that you were ordered to fight in case anyone tried to resurrect you, and they explained the implications what would happened if we duke it out in towns and cities where there are witnesses, but there's no one here, it's just us three, and I believe the two of us can take you down." Stated Link.

"Yes, I won't deny that, however this place is full of open space, escape is still possible for me, and once I reached the village I'm going have to lie and frame you for attacking me, maybe not everyone will believe me, but I was revered just like the other champions, it would be difficult to have them turned against me, and the Ritos who took my side may going to show disdain toward Hylians in the end." Explained Revali. "Besides they already come up with a plan in case something like this happened after all."

"What do you mean by that ?" Asked Link.

"They're everywhere, next time you should be extra prepared if you're going to take us down, no matter where you are." Revali then fly back to the village.

"Zelda do you know what he meant by that ?" Asked Link.

"It's only a guess, but they may come up with a countermeasure in case we decided to resurrect them by isolating them." Answered Zelda. "Like tasking some of their members to rescue the champions in case we tried to resurrect them, because I doubt they're going to use the divine beast on us, that would prove they're the guilty ones."

"You think that's the case ? Kind of overkill if you think about it ?" Questioned Link.

"Think about it Link, by resurrecting them we save them from the enemy control, that would deprive them of manpower, while at the same time increasing ours, and if we can do that to every revenant we found they will lose a lot of their manpower, the revenants may be treated like pawns, but their very crucial to the enemy success, they're not someone they can just let go like that." Explained Zelda.

"Alright I see your point, but now what ? We visited every major locations in Hyrule, are we going to head back ?" Asked Link.

"Not just yet, there's one more place I'd like to take a look before we leave, but first let's give this golden plate to Teba before we leave." Zelda then used her magic to teleport back to Rito Village.

Rito Village

Link and Zelda return to Rito Village and head to Teba's hut.

"Teba we'd like to give this to you." Zelda hand over the golden plate.

"Is this a gold bar, thank you princess, but isn't this too much ?" Asked a hesitant Teba.

"It's a communication device, you can use it to contact us if there's any problem, us Hylians would love to lend our hand to solve any problems plaguing the land, I already give one to Sidon, Riju, and Yunobo as well, but don't tell Revali, despite his brave face he's still traumatized with technology." Said Zelda.

"I'll be sure to do that then, anyway we're about to have lunch, would you like to join us ?" Offered Teba.

"Oh yeah you should join us !" Tulin insisting the Hylians to join.

"We don't mind a few more guests." Said Saki.

"Sorry, but maybe next time, we have someplace to go, it's nice to see all of you again." Link and Zelda left Teba's hut, and head towards Akh Va'quot Shrine, luckily there's no sign of Revali anywhere.

"Okay so where do you want to go ?" Asked Link.

"Korok Forest, according to Skull Kid the orphanage build to kidnap the children is around there." Answered Zelda.

"Alright Korok Forest it is then." Zelda teleported the two of them to Korok Forest.

Korok Forest

In Hyrule there is a forest rumored to make anyone that set foot lost and never be able to return, this place is called the Lost Woods, however if you're able to find your way, there's another forest deep inside called the Korok Forest, which is where the Korok race lived, and where Zelda hid the Master Sword so no one is able to find it and waited until Link regained his strength and memories to reclaim the sword.

By using Zelda's magic they're able to teleport directly to Korok Forest without needing to get through the Lost Woods.

And as they arrived they waste no time looking for the Great Deku Tree and spoke to him.

"Well if it isn't Link and Zelda, I suppose I should've expect your visit sooner or later." The talking tree greeted the two Hylians.

"It's been a while Great Deku Tree, we came here seeking an answer." Zelda slowly approached the tree.

"It's about a manmade building, we heard from one of our friends it's around here ?" Questioned Link.

"The building you speak of, yes it was here, I can sense it's unusual presence as such a thing didn't exist here before, but now I no longer sense the building, it's as if it's vanished out of thin air, as for how it's even get here in the first place even I don't know." Answered Great Deku Tree. "Two of the Koroks went to investigate that building, but since that building disappears we lost contact with Maca and Damia."

"You're saying the entire building disappear ? Is that possible ?" Questioned Link.

"According to Marth the matron of the orphanage Eremiya possess strong magic, she could teleport the building away, Link have you noticed that the other races kids aren't abducted." Stated Zelda.

"Now that you think about it, Riju, Tulin, Finley I saw them all." Stated Link.

"It would be inconvenient for them to abduct all the children in Hyrule because of distance problem, the solution is to move the building away using magic." Added Zelda.

"Or could there be a portal here ?" Asked Link.

"That's also a possibility." Zelda then turned to the Great Deku Tree. "Great Deku Tree, are there any anomalies around here, like space or time being distorted ?"

"Apart from that building you mentioned I don't sense anything near here, however I did sense anomalies in places far from here, as for the exact locations I couldn't tell, there seems to be something blocking my power from detecting it completely." Answered Great Deku Tree. "Link, Zelda I can tell you two involved in something big again aren't you ? I wished to hear the details if you don't mind."

Link and Zelda nodded to each other, as a help from Great Deku Tree will be immense on their quest. Link and Zelda explain everything to Great Deku Tree.

"Unfortunately we can't be here all the time, the rest of our allies also have their own problems in their own world's, and also because they're from other world's they're unfamiliar even with mere common knowledge of this world." Added Zelda.

"I see, I understand your predicament, you will need all the help you can get from Hyrule, allow me to contact those who would be of help." Great Deku Tree begin telepathically broadcasting messages to the supernatural beings of Hyrule.

And soon after there are four holographic images of four large women appearing next to Deku Tree, next there's a holographic image of aasked being with disbembodied hands, the three spirit dragons of Hyrule left their respective springs to also appear here, and a horse like being with blue light, four eyes, and moth like antenna appeared as well, surrounded by smaller creatures enveloped with similar blue light.

"Oh if it isn't Link, hi Link miss me ?" One of the women winked at Link much to his horror.

"Of course he don't, if anything I'm sure he misses me, not you." Said the other woman with purple hair.

"Cotera, Tera stop it !" Yelled Great Deku Tree. "Better stop them before Kaysa and Mija gets involved."

"Princess Zelda I know you told us some things, but to think the scale is that large" Stated Malanya.

"Even Dinraal, Naydra, and Farosh, Blupees, and Satori are here." Commented Link.

"All of us are with you, we won't let Galeem destroy anyone's world." All the supernatural beings of Hyrule vowed to lend their help to fight Neo Subspace Army which Zelda is very grateful about.

And then two Koroks appeared in front of them, one is little, and the other is quite large.

"Chio, Hestu ? It's good to see you again." Said Link.

"Link, Zelda we heard everything, let us help, if it's lurking from the shadows then the Koroks are the right person for the job, no one can see us, and we can just use our magic to relay any info we found." Said Chio. "I'll have my subordinates to spread across Hyrule and gather any info they can find, and I also try to locate Maca and Damia."

"I also like to help you too Link, I owe you for restoring my maracas." Offered Hestu.

"Hestu, Chio thank you, we really appreciate your help." Link also grateful for the Koroks help.

"Right I ran out of the golden plates, Malanya could you..."

"Say no more princess, I'll make another one, and Chio can just picked it up in my flower bud." The Horse God then dissipates his projection.

"Thank you so much for your help everyone, our mission here is done for now, we await news from all of you." Said Zelda as Link used his golden plate and teleported him and Zelda back to World of Trophy.
