I just finished Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. I have the distinct need to write LoZ FanFiction blending both the AOC and BoTW timelines together, heavily focusing on Zelink 👀

This would be a canon divergent story.

[probably-need-sleep27]

So my problem with age of calamity is you can't jump on walls or other stuff, I also wanted master sword to be glowing constantly is that too much to ask

[silvereyedboy]

Okay, I can explain... actually I can't.

Did I spend about 2 hours on this? Yes. Yes I did. I just had to do this so now my mind can rest.

[beedle-boy]

What your main in Age Of Calamity says about you (part 1)

i'm doing multiple parts to help avoid spoilers so this is just the starter trio! also i am legally obligated to say this is a joke

Link

a classic sword and shield type, why stop playing as link when that's what you're used to? you might be scared of change

you are a bit wild, and i mean that in the sense that link eating rocks is wild. i am slightly afraid of you.

do you use the spoon? i bet you use the spoon you funky breath of the wild player

Impa

you are a simp and/or a weeb. you have to accept that

you like getting all the symbols and absolutely destroying enemies, you probably find it satisfying. are you ok?

also you appreciate strong women and i respect you for that

Zelda

you probably need therapy if you relate to her, she is sad and you probably are too

some people don't like her moveset because it's "hard to get used to" but those people aren't masters of the sheikah slate like you are, sucks to be them

you just want to see zelda kick ass and really, who doesn't?

that's all for now, i'm making multiple parts so keep an eye out for your main!

Desired Fate

Read on AO3

The goddess Hylia watched from the edge of time. She knew every soul that would ever come to be in the land of Hyrule, throughout every era and branching path of time. All the days of their lives were known to her. She knew their fears and desires. She heard the prayers of her people when they cried out to her. She could even see every tear held back.

She had once given up her divinity to become mortal. She was born into the era of the sky to the headmaster of the Knight Academy, back when her people lived high above the clouds. She had done this to set in motion a plan to seal away her mortal enemy, the Demon King. She established the Kingdom of Hyrule and bore children that would carry on her bloodline, yet the Demon King had sworn that an incarnation of his hatred would forever follow her descendants. She had loved and been loved in return. And when she breathed her last breath she opened her eyes and she was Hylia again.

She watched over her descendants, especially the ones that bore her namesake, and manifested her power, whispering into their ears prophecies as they slept to warn them when Hyrule was to be threatened. Each one of them was much like her. But there was one that bore her blood that could not seem to manifest the sacred power or prophetic abilities. The girl would cry out to her day and night. The goddess's heart ached, knowing how the princess would struggle for so long to unlock her power and believe her prayers were going unheard. But Hylia knew, in time the princess's power would indeed appear and not a moment too late.

Hylia appraised every soul that the princess would meet. The princess was cared for by many, however, there was a certain man that would someday try to take her life to prevent her from sealing away his master, the Calamity. And Hylia laughed, for she knew the princess had a long and happy life ahead of her.

The man had the gift of prophecy, which should have been the Princess's birthright, but compared to the goddess, he was blind, not knowing that he was always destined to fail.

The various incarnations of the Demon King's hatred had various servants and revivers throughout the ages; wayward souls that the demon king used and abused for his purposes, but when she acknowledged this one she felt something else… She supposed she pitied him. His life was empty and he had no one as he had spent many years believing he had been chosen by the Calamity. And Hylia knew his ending was a truly terrible one. In his final moments he was humiliated, in pain from the spreading black malice that consumed his body, afraid, and in all-encompassing despair at a fate he hadn't forseen. And for the first time since he was a young child, he cried out to her.

A single tear fell from the goddess's cheek. It grieved Hylia that the Calamity had twisted someone's entire existence to the point of such a cruel demise.

 I will not allow this… Even if I have to move the Sacred Realm and Hyrule itself, I will not allow this to come to pass…

 But, what could be done?

And then a thought occurred to the goddess. Having an eternity to spectate the lives and destinies of the ones that bore her namesake and blood, it would be amusing to shake things up a bit, and a creative way to spite the Calamity that had ruined so many lives.

And so Hylia set a new plan in motion without a second thought that she would upend so much just to save this man…The goddess gave her final thoughts to the princess that carried her blood, who would be the one to carry out her plan if she were willing. How fitting that the Prophet of Doom's fate would be in her hands.

And so the Goddess spoke her wishes into existence, and it fell to Hyrule in the form of a shooting star.

So, I think I’m deep enough into Age of Calamity to see why people are fuckin grumpy about the story...but like, they threw a time travel element in the first 90 seconds of the game, soooooo.

Anyway. I’m personally amused by the whole Zelda-Link-Impa traveling roadshow element for personal reasons.

[queenzeldie]

that trailer AWAKENED ME

[cerezaxiii]

I'm so hyped for Hyrule Warriors:Age of calamity you guys have no idea. They will hopefully answer a lot of questions about what happend 100 ago.

How many Gerudo knew about Ganondorf or the tales about him, since Urbosa mentioned him in-game once. Did the other tribes/races have preconceived notions about them because of this? Did they think of them as traitors or a potential weak spot?

Was the whole thing with acquiring the guardian's and using old technology a trap. Did the Yiga and Ganondorf plan this all along? And did the Yiga have a more competent leader at the time?

How did Impa, Purah and Robelo look like 100 years ago? The funny thing is Robelo and Impa will look younger than Purah X'D

Also is the house Link buys in BOTW his old family house?!

Will we see Links little sister and his father? Since they were depicted in the concept art.

And most importantly will we see more of baby Sidon??? Please let there be more screen time for this little motivational shark.

Desired Fate, Chapter 6

Read on AO3

Master Kohga, Sooga, and the Harbinger were waiting as Astor emerged from the Lost Woods.

“Well? Don’t keep us in suspense, three eyes. Did you manage to kill the princess?”

Astor ignored Kohga, staying silent. Astor’s attention was drawn to the Harbinger. It was emitting malice like a smokestack. The little black Guardian gave an ear-piercing shriek that made all three men cover their ears. It scuttled over to Astor, giving him a swift and stinging slap to the knee with its mechanical leg.

“Oh!” The prophet recoiled more in surprise than in pain.

“Ha! Now I HAVE to hear what happened!” The Yiga leader crowed.

“Fate intervened and saved the girl,” Astor stated, in a matter of fact way. He wasn’t even disappointed he had failed to end her life. Not even a little… And that’s what really scared him.

The Harbinger gave a series of enraged distorted beeps at the prophet.

Sooga gave a small laugh. “Ah, yes… Fate is fickle…”

“Well... there will be more opportunities... As long as the deed is done before she can unlock her power,” said the prophet, trying to sound as convincing as possible, although he wasn’t sure who he was trying to convince.

“We’re never going to let you live this down. Not after the way you spoke to us before. And it looks like your Harbinger sees likewise. Lord Ganon’s chosen or not, you are not one of us. The Yiga Clan is not to be trifled with or strung along with your delusions of grandeur. Do I make myself clear, seer?”

“You tell him, Sooga!” Kohga chimed in.

Astor was growing exasperated. He couldn’t believe he was going to have to beg and manipulate these two degenerates to continue to ally with him. The prophet bit his tongue. “We are bound in the name of Calamity Ganon and by fate. We will need each other’s help if we are to achieve Lord Ganon’s grand purpose.”

The Yiga Leaders seemed uninspired by the prophet’s words.

“Alright. Let’s call it even then! You sure are terrible at prophesying your failures, little lord malice.” Kohga chuckled.

The three began to walk. The Harbinger continued to smack at the backs of Astor’s knees with its mechanical legs. Astor tried to stay a few steps ahead of its reach. As they walked, he explained at length what happened, embellishing the fight, and leaving out the part where the princess had asked her knight to spare his life. He couldn’t make sense of it. He never would have foreseen she would do something like that, nor could he understand why. He had nearly killed her after all. Young and full of sweetness and Hylia’s light she may be, no one was that forgiving. And then he thought about what he’d do if she and the knight had succeeded in capturing him.

So she thinks she can stop me from carrying out my destiny and convince me to turn against the Calamity? There is nothing that foolish girl can do to stop the Calamity, apart from finding her power...

And there it was... Deep down inside he knew the truth. The Calamity would still happen with or without him, and that was such a crippling thought.

“Good job, Three-Eyes! You may not have killed the princess, but at least you broke her widdle toy.” Kohga clapped his hands in a slow sarcastic manner. “I bet that took the wind out of her sails.”

“It did actually... Although I barely got to savor the look on her face. That Guardian was capable of a great deal. And now, thanks to my efforts it won’t cause further interference.”

“Like what? Playing a tune when she’s feeling sad?” Sooga challenged.

Kohga laughed. “A banana peel could do a better job of killing her than prophecy man here! I could throw it at her feet and she’d fall and crack her skull! Boom! Done! Game Over!”

Astor gave a sardonic scoff. “And yet, you already had your chance and you didn’t.  Nice try… Trust me when I say that now that the Guardian is no more, the future will proceed as it must, according to fate’s design.”

oOo

Impa and Princess Zelda closed in on the Royal Tech Lab, an imposing stone structure with an oversized Sheikah telescope on the roof. The Royal Tech Lab had only come to be in the recent past, having been built specifically for research of Guardians and other ancient Sheikah technology to oppose the resurrection of Calamity Ganon.

Impa looked down at the box she carried with a somber expression. “I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but I miss the Guardian already.” 

Zelda acknowledged this with a nod of her head. “All isn’t lost yet.”

The two entered the Royal Tech Lab, transitioning from being in brilliant sunlight into the more subdued dimness of the laboratory. 

Purah and Robbie surveyed the wreckage that was the mysterious Guardian, it’s parts grimly but neatly arranged to make sure it was all there.

Robbie shook his head. “Oh, the one of a kind Guardian model…” He said in a rather dramatic fashion.

Zelda hesitated. “A-are you saying it can’t be repaired?”

“Oh, no,” Purah corrected. “I think it can be done. But it’s going to take some time.”

“I see…” Zelda gave a relieved sigh. “Then I have an additional favor to ask..”

“What’s that, Princess?” Purah blinked. The older sister of Impa was more worldly than other more traditional Sheikah women, having painted fingernails and a red streak through her naturally snow-white hair.

“If you find any additional data within the Guardian, please let me know right away, no matter how insignificant it may seem.”

“Will do, Your Highness. Not a problem.” Purah reassured. “I’ll just need the Sheikah Slate so I can transfer any potential remaining data.”

“Oh...” Zelda hesitated. “Alright. Um...” Zelda pushed back a lock of hair behind her ear. “The images that you initially extracted from the Guardian’s memory…” Zelda reached into her pouch for the Sheikah Slate. It was a longshot of an inquiry, but Robbie and Purah were researchers. Maybe they might know something after all. “Do you… know anything of this man? Perhaps, any accompanying data about him from the Guardian?” Zelda handed Purah the Sheikah Slate. 

Robbie and Purah took a long hard look at the man Zelda had come to know as Astor. Even Impa was craning her neck over Purah to try to see. Zelda stood by anxiously as they scrutinized the image.

Purah grinned slyly, studying Zelda’s expression.

“What….?” Zelda asked. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Can’t say I know anything, but it seems to me like you know more about this mystery man than you’re letting on. Am I correct?” Purah asked playfully.

“Well…”

“Your Highness…?” Impa took on a serious expression upon hearing her elder sister’s tone. “Why is this the first I’m hearing about this? This sounds like most crucial information.” Impa half-joked, although she sounded slightly cross.

“Well… his image was on the Sheikah Slate and I had a run-in with him yesterday… His name is Astor. And well, he is our enemy… He said he was chosen by Calamity Ganon and  from what I can tell, he can harness the Calamity’s power with an orb he carries.”

Impa rubbed her chin, seemingly confused by Zelda’s tone and demeanor. “I can’t help but worry for your safety, Your Highness… I’m just relieved you lived to tell. But you seem... excited to learn more about him…. Which is… bizarre, but I guess that’s the scholar in you.”

Zelda blushed. It wasn’t a completely inaccurate assessment. “Well… If I can manage to stop Astor, maybe the Calamity can be averted.”

“Hmm, I could easily believe he is some sort of fanatical follower of Calamity Ganon... He certainly gives off that vibe,” Robbie observed. “So, was it this... Astor who broke the Guardian?” Robbie enunciated the name oddly. Making a sort of double entendre. 

“Yes…” Zelda confirmed.

Robbie shook his head and grabbed a nearby box, beginning to scrape the pieces of the Guardian into it. “ALL HAIL CALAMITY GANON! HE SHALL PROVIDE!” Robbie said, doing his best Astor impersonation given what little information he had.

Zelda couldn’t help but giggle. It wasn’t that far off the mark.

“And I’m sure we can provide a repaired Guardian and perhaps even the information you seek… Just give us some time.” Robbie said, in a normal tone of voice.

“Thank you, Robbie. I appreciate it. “There’s also a strong possibility that this Guardian is… not one of a kind. There have been at least a few incidents of a Guardian like this one leading an attack on Rito Village.”

“Interesting…” Robbie remarked.

Purah was still watching Zelda’s reactions and smiling at her incredulously.

“Wipe that smirk off your face, Purah, or I’ll do it for you.” Impa hissed. “The Princess could have been killed!”

“Woah, calm down, sis. I was just trying to humor the Princess.”

“It’s alright, Impa, really....” Zelda offered nervously. 

“But, Your Highness…”

“I guess we should head back now. The Champion’s garments aren’t going to sew themselves.” Zelda sighed and headed for the door.

“Take care, Your Highness. Hope you get your man!” she called in a sing-song intonation, giving a brief wave goodbye, before being cut off by Impa’s stern voice.

“Ok, that's it!” Impa charged at Purah. Soon Impa was chasing Purah around the lab, using the main work table to keep distance between them.

“You WILL show respect to Her Highness!”

“‘I only meant it as ‘hope she can bring him to justice.’” Purah placated, innocently.

Robbie and Zelda shared a disconcerted look between them.

“Sisters...” Robbie crossed his arms, leaning back slightly against a wall to spectate. “Do you think they’ll still be fighting like this when they’re old and grey?”
