Chapter 6: The Story of 100 Years Ago
Once on the ground, the large group immediately head towards the ruined temple. They fought off Keeses and a Bokoblin before entering what was left of the sacred temple. Both Mask and Time blinked, then blinked again.
"This can't be?!"
"But I think it is."
"This is the Temple of Time!" the two of them spoke in unison. The Links that had heard about this temple, or has seen it, were in disbelief. How could a temple, which was a historic part of Hyrule's history, succumb to what it is now?
The Heroes walked up to the statue of Hylia prayed, light shined upon the statue. The statue, itself, began to speak.
"You who have conquered the shrines and claimed their Spirit Orbs. I can offer you great power. It appears that you have claimed four Spirit Orbs. In exchange for the four Spirit Orbs, I will amplify your being. So tell me, what is it that you desire."
The group debated on whether to increase and restore their health, or increase their stamina. In the end they chose that their health was more important at the moment, to which the statue fulfilled their wish.
"Go, and bring peace to Hyrule…," the statue said as the light that was shining on it vanished.
There was a booming shout, which could only mean that it was the old man that they keep encountering. They all looked up to find him on top of the remains of the roof.
He shouted to them, "The blessing of the Goddess has made you all that much more resilient, I see…"
This statement riled up the Links who were quick to recover from conditions. The man told them to make their way up to the roof, and five minutes later, they stood before the cloaked man, who was emitting a faint blue light.
"Well done there, young ones! Now, then… The time has come to show you who I truly am. I was King Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule. I was… the last leader of Hyrule. A kingdom which longer exists." The light began to transform the man into his true self.
He was garbed in a royal sea colored robe which was decorated with beautiful designs of gold embroidery. A gold crown was upon his head indicating his status. The King's feet was no longer touching the ground.
The former King of Hyrule began his story, "The Great Calamity was merciless… It devastated everything in its path, lo, a century ago." The King's face had a forlorn expression, one of great sadness and pain.
"It was then that my life was taken away from me. And since that time, here I have remained, in spirit form."
"Your a spirit?!" The Four shouted.
"Okay, here comes the depression sinking in," Myth said as tears were heavily pouring out from his eyes. Twilight, Mask, Wind, Spirit, and Sky silently kneeled down on one knee as their utmost respect to the last reigning King of Hyrule. King Rhoam ignored the sudden outbursts and continued on with the story as he looked out to Hyrule Castle.
"I did not think it was wise to overwhelm you while your memory was still fragile. So rather than that, I thought it was best to assume a temporary form.
"Forgive me," the King apologized to them, mainly Wild who was confused by all of this.
"I think you are now ready. Ready to hear what happened 100 years ago.
"To know of Calamity Ganon's true form, one must know the story from an age long past. The demon king was born into this kingdom, but his transformation into Malice created the horror you see now. Stories of Ganon were passed from generation to generation in the form of legends and fairy tales. But there was also… a prophecy.
""The signs of the resurrection of Calamity Ganon are clear and the power to oppose lies dormant beneath the ground."
"We decided to heed the prophecy and began excavating large areas of land. It wasn't long before we discovered several ancient relics made by the hands of our distant ancestors. These relics, the Divine Beasts, were giant machines piloted by warriors. We also found the Guardians, an army of mechanical soldiers who fought autonomously.
"This coincided with ancient legends, oft repeated throughout our land. We also learned of a princess with sacred power and her appointed knight, chosen by the sword that seals the darkness. It was they who sealed Ganon away using the power of these ancient relics.
"One hundred years ago, there was a princess set to inherit a sacred power and a skilled knight at her side. It was clear that we must follow our ancestors' path. We selected four skilled individuals from across Hyrule and tasked them with the duty of piloting the Divine Beasts. With the princess as their commander, we dubbed these pilots Champions—a name that would solidify their unique bond…"
From the stars above, the Goddesses watched with interest as the former ruling King of Hyrule told them the story from one hundred years ago, from his perspective. The two of the three Goddesses gaged their reactions.
"Um, Farore?" Din looked a bit nervous.
"Hmm?"
"I don't think your…. um… chosen aspect is taking all of this… very well," Din chuckled nervously.
"Oh, the worst he could do is hit or des… Oh Goddess Hylia, I am so dead. I'm gonna go kill myself before Naryu kills me." Farore slowly walked out with a pale colored skin tone. Din was left alone with a sleeping Nayru on the soft cushioned sofa.
"Link… You are our final hope. The fate of Hyrule rests with you."
There was a momentary pause from the king as he turned towards the multiple Links on the rooftop: "The princess was my own daughter… My dear Zelda. And the courageous knight who protected her right up to the very end… That knight was none other than you, Link. The one now called Wild." Wild, who couldn't remember who he was, had failed to save Hyrule. Bitterness was beginning to form from within him, hate and self doubts mocking him of his failure before he was put to sleep. His head faced the ground in shame, even though he could not remember anything. The other Links took notice of this and tried to comfort him to the best of their abilities, "You fought valiantly when your fate took an unfortunate turn. And then, you were taken to the Shrine of Resurrection. Here you now stand revitalized, 100 years later. The words of guidance you have been hearing since your awakening are from Princess Zelda herself. Even now, as she works to restrain Ganon from within Hyrule Castle, she calls out for your help.
"However, my daughter's power will soon be exhausted. Once that happens, Ganon will freely regenerate himself and nothing will stop him from consuming our land. Considering that I could not save my own kingdom, I have no right to ask this of you, Link…," The king clenched his fists: "But I am powerless here… All of you must save her… my daughter. And do whatever it takes to annihilate Ganon.
"Somehow, Ganon has maintained control over all four Divine Beasts, as well as those Guardians swarming around Hyrule Castle. I believe it would be quite reckless for all of you to head directly to the castle at this point. I suggest… that you make your way east, out to one of the villages in the wilderness." At this point all of the Links, including a crestfallen Wild, watched as he pointed to a road leading somewhere.
"Follow the road out to Kakariko Village. There you all will find the elder, Impa. She will tell you more about the path that lies ahead. Consult the map on your Sheikah Slate for the precise location of Kakariko Village. Make your way past the twin summits of the Dueling Peaks. From there, follow the road as it proceeds north…"
After hearing the history that occurred one hundred years ago, as promised, the king gave out paragliders to those who didn't have any.
"Link… All of you must save… Hyrule…," And with King Rhoam's last words to them, his spirit left the mortal realm. Once he was gone, Wild let out an anguish cry as he grabbed the Boko club, and with all of his strength bashed it against the remains of the Temple of Time, scaring the living daylights out of the other, until the weapon, itself, was in pieces.
Nayru woke up to see the Chosen hero, of this time period, in time to repeatedly smash his club into the remains of the Temple of Time. The blue haired Goddess yelled, "FARORE!"
The Goddess of Wisdom ran with all of her might to chase down the Goddess of Courage leaving the Goddess of Power alone in the room. However, Din just shrugged it off.
"Their problem, not mine."
The Links, who were familiar with the Temple of Time, gaped at the scenery played out before him.
Time sputtered, "Did he just–"
Twilight, who was calm on the outside but was deeply panicking on the inside, confirmed it to the others, "He did."
"It's official. Nayru is going to kill us all," Sky didn't want to think of what might happen to them if said Goddess punished them.
Mask shook his head, "I'm not worried about her. I'm more worried about Zelda's reaction if she finds out about this."
Those who were familiar with the Temple of Time shuttered at what her reaction would be like.
"Goodness gracious, young man. Didn't your mother ever teach you not to hit things that belong to the Goddesses? You should be down right ashamed of yourself. On the other hand, teach me your ways of relieving stress cuz that was beautiful," Myth's scolding suddenly turned to him being on both knees and pleading to Wild. There was a sudden stillness in the air. It was then, Paint noticed that one of them was missing.
"Guys, where's Realm?" The remaining Links groaned out loud.
"Seriously?!"

Here is the preview to the next chapter:
Once they registered the horse, the shorter versions began to board with the others, Sky rode with Myth for obvious reasons, to keep him in check, and Wind, however, used the Wind Waker seeing as the Four can't separate from each other. Twilight did something unexpected startling the others. His Hylian body was transformed into a black wolf with the Curse Stone hanging around his neck.
