v; we’ve long believed that the hero would appear as a divine beast (zelda au)

It is an age of upheaval. Rival clans have begun to form within Hyrule, splitting the once united kingdom into separate territories, each ruled by fierce shogun-like fighters. The strange period had been formed thanks to the strange occurrence...

The Hero of Legend was not born. For the first time in ages, the Princess of Hyrule has little power, their rule puppeted by a demonic Shogun who bares resemblance to the old prophesized King of Evil.

Deep within a territory unclaimed by the ruling clans of Hyrule, a forest brimming with spirits protects a young girl named Robin. A strange mark appears upon her hand one day, followed by the sudden voice of the gods...

"Restore peace and unity to Hyrule... Bless it with your light, as the SUN must do."

In this timeline, Link was never born. Zelda is a princess in the court of Hyrule, with very little power. She remains but a priestess inside the court, searching for visions to try and unite the warring factions of the kingdom together again. All at the same time, strange demons and yokai have begun terrorizing the country.

Robin is the protagonist of this story. Her brother is taken away by demons, which leads to her chasing after him and slaying the demonic forces puppeted by that universe's Ganondorf, who resembles an old samurai warlord.

Fighting as both wolf and swordsman, Robin goes around Hyrule purifying nature and the hearts of those swallowed by the dark hatred the Demon Lord has spread.

This iteration of the story was inspired greatly by shows such as Shōgun (2024), games like Ōkami (2006) and movies like The Tale of the Princess Kaguya (2013) and Princess Mononoke (1997).
