Note: The following spoiler is the Adult Timeline that Ganondorf saw. Just like the Child Timeline, you do not have to read the spoiler to understand the RolePlay.

Spoiler: Adult Timeline

Decades later, Ganondorf escaped from the Sacred Realm. Knowing he could be defeated by the Master Sword, he hunted down and murdered the Sages who prayed that the gods bless the Master Sword with its great power. Now undefeatable, Ganondorf turned the land of Hyrule into a world of shadows. The people hoped that Hero of Time would appear again to save them, but he did not. Hearing the people’s pleas and seeing the absence of a hero, the gods caused a rain that flooded the world in order to stop Ganondorf. However, the prince of darkness escaped and rebuilt his army. He set out in search of Princess Zelda, wanting the Triforce once again, and kidnapped a young girl. The young girl’s older brother, who bares a striking resemblance to the Hero of Time and the same name, embarked on a journey to rescue his sister with the help of the pirate Tetra and the King of Red Lions, a talking boat. It was revealed that Tetra was in fact Princess Zelda and the King of Red Lions was the King of Hyrule. This new Link acquired the Master Sword, passed on the power of Sages down to two of his friends to repower the Master Sword, and defeated Ganandorf with the power of Zelda and Arrows of Light. Leaving his sister behind at home, Link and Tetra decided to travel the world. (WindWaker)
Searching for a mysterious ghost ship, Tetra disappears and Link awakens on an island to a fairy named Ciela and Ciela’s grandfather, an old man named Oshus. Oshus tells Link he must find the Spirits of Courage, Wisdom, and Power to locate the ghost ship and Terra. To do this, he must use the Phantom Hourglass. The Spirit of Courage is revealed to be half a spirit with Ciela being the other half. United with her other half, Ciela becomes the Spirit of Courage. Oshus reveals himself as the Ocean King and tells Link that he and Ciela were weakened from the life-eating monster Bellum, source of the ghost ship. Link forges the Phantom Sword and takes off after Bellum and defeats the evil deity, restoring Oshus’ power in the process. With Tetra now free and the Hourglass empty, Link embarks on the sea once again, this adventure behind him. (Phantom Hourglass)

Over a hundred years after Link and Tetra come across a land now called New Hyrule, a new Princess Zelda loses her body to an evil spirit named Malladus. Malladus had been sealed into the land by magical train tracks, but a man named Bryne helped him escape. However, Zelda continued to live as a spirit and aided a young engineer named Link stop Malladus. Along the way, Zelda learned she could take control of Phantoms, strong suits of armor. They managed to stop and defeat Malladus, who killed Bryne for turning on him. Zelda got her body back and had the land entrusted to her with Link helping her watch over it. (Spirit Tracks)


Years and years later, a new Link is beckoned by the Triforce. After touching it, he was sent to Labrynna with the power of the Triforce of Courage. There, he sees the Oracle of Ages, Nayru, possessed by the evil sorceress Veran. Link went on a time-spanning journey in Labrynna to stop Veran's scheme, which he succeeded in doing. Unfortunately, Veran had succeeded in lighting the Flame of Sorrow. (Oracle of Ages)
Upon returning to Hyrule, the Triforce sent Link to Holodrum where he sees Din, the Oracle of Seasons, being kidnapped by the evil general Onox. Traveling back and forth from the underground land of Subrosia, Link finally defeated Onox in his true form, a dragon, and rescued the second Oracle. However, the Flame of Destruction was already lit. (Oracle of Seasons)
When Link returned to Hyrule, he found Princess Zelda kidnapped by the Twinrova sisters, who had sent Onox and Veran to Holodrum and Labrynna. Zelda's kidnapping lit the Flame of Despair. With all three Flames of Dark Rites lit, the Twinrova sisters were ready to resurrect Ganon after sacrificing Zelda. Fortunately, Link saved Zelda. Unfortunately, the witch sisters sacrificed themselves. Because of the foiled ritual, Ganon was resurrected as a mindless beast for Link to slay once again. (Oracles Linked Game)

Back in Hyrule, a few generations later, a young Link and his , he wachildhood friend, Princess Zelda, attended a festival. The festival held a tournament whose winner would earn the right to touch the sacred Picori Blade. The new winner, Vaati, revealed himself to be a sorcerer and destroyed the blade, releasing evil monsters the blade had kept sealed. He turned Princess Zelda to stone and took over the royal guards as he searched for the mystical Light Force. Link was asked to search out the Picori, tiny beings that had originally made the Picori Blade, and asked them forge a new sword. Link met Ezlo, a hat-shaped bird who, while worn, could shrink Link down to the size of the Picori, who called themselves the Minish. The Minish helped Link take the Picori Blade and imbued it with the four elements of earth, fire, water, and wind to turn it into the sacred and powerful Four Sword. Link used the Four Sword to split himself into four copies of himself and defeated Vaati, sealing him into the sword. (The Minish Cap)

Years later, a new Princess Zelda asked her childhood friend Link to check on the seal that held Vaati. The seal was broken and Vaati escaped, knocking out Link and kidnapping Princess Zelda to make her his bride. Upon awakening, Link takes the Four Sword and shatters into four colorful copies of himself. Using the Four Swords, the four Links succeed in defeating Vaati and seal him once again into the blade. (Four Swords)
Some time later, Zelda asks six maidens to accompany her to the Four Sword’s resting place, along with Link, to find the cause of dark storm clouds appearing over Hyrule. She is surprised to find a “Shadow Link†who kidnaps Zelda and the maidens. Following the Shadow Link into the sanctuary, the real Link is forced to use the Four Sword to fight his evil doppelganger. Unfortunately, this releases Vaati once again. Once again separated into four, the Links travel across Hyrule to free the maidens and restore the full power of the Four Sword. The Links defeat Vaati and destroy him for good. However, the entire plan was revealed to be a ruse, releasing Ganon from the Dark World. Before Ganon could take over Hyrule, Link fired a Light Arrow and sealed him into the Four Sword. (Four Swords Adventure)

Centuries, if not thousands of years, later, Hyrule’s king’s advisor, Agahnim, starts to secretly kidnap young maidens descended from the seven sages who once sealed Ganan into the Dark World with Princess Zelda being the last one. Sending a telepathic message to a young warrior, Zelda asks for help. Link rescues the Princess and goes to find the Master Sword, the only sword capable of defeating Agahnim. During his journey, Zelda is taken once again. With the Master Sword in tow, Link confronts Agahnim, but is too late. Link and Zelda were sent to the Dark World separately. In the Dark World, in reality a corrupted Sacred Realm, Link searches and frees the maidens. He then defeats Agahnim. With Ganon as the final enemy, Link uses the power of Silver Arrows and the Master Sword to vanquish Ganon and return the Sacred Realm to normal. (A Link to the Past)
After restoring peace to Hyrule, Link decides to sail off after becoming restless. During a storm, he crashes and awakes on an island. He is told he can’t leave the island without waking the Wind Fish. During his journey to do so, he realizes that the entire island and all its citizens are simply a dream of the Wind Fish and he was brought into the dream. If he awakens the Wind Fish, the entire island will fade away. Regardless, he does so by defeating the evil being Nightmare and awakens on a single board of wood on the sea with the Wind Fish flying over him. He also sees a single seagull, in reality one of the girls from the Wind Fishes dreams, flying and smiles. (Link's Awakening)

Years upon years later, Ganon returns once again, utilizing the Triforce of Power kidnaps the Princess of Hyrule, Zelda. To keep the Triforce of Wisdom away from him, the princess shattered it into eight pieces and directed her nurse to find someone with enough courage to defeat Ganon. The person Impa found was a young boy by the name of Link. After rescuing Impa from Ganon’s army, Link recovered the Triforce of Wisdom and defeated Ganon, saving both Hyrule and Princess Zelda. (The Legend of Zelda)
Some time after, the King of Hyrule passed away and left his son, Zelda’s brother, the throne. The Prince of Hyrule wished for the other piece of the Triforce, Courage, but only Zelda knew the location. The Princess was given the location by their father, who asked her not to tell anybody. Angered, the prince’s magician tried to force the information out of her, but when she refused, he cast a spell on her out of spite, dying soon after. The spell put the Princess in an unending sleep. The prince, horrified at what had happened locked her in a secret chamber and ordered all females born into the royal family would be named “Zelda†so the tragedy would never be forgotten. Impa asked for Link’s help once again, telling him to travel to the Great Palace and find the Triforce of Wisdom, unite it with its counterparts, and use the power of the complete Triforce to awaken the Princess. Link did not only this, but also fought off the followers of Ganon who wanted to use Link’s blood to revive their master. Link saved the Princess and stopped Ganon’s followers. (Link's Awakening)

ΔRulesΔ

1. Basic rule: My word is law. Obey each and every rule.
2. More basic rules: No powerplaying or godmodding (even if it's hard in this RP), no obsessive swearing, romance is PG-13, be nice to others, etc.
3. This RP is a lot more character-based than the story based games. So every character who doesn't talk in video games (as in LINK and Bellum) will be allowed to talk here.
4. Rule #3 means you're allowed to give your Link any personality you want as long as it fits the kind-hearted, courageous hero type.
5. You must name your Link something other than "Link," though your Link won't start the RP with that name.
6. You can have ONE Link (even if I have two and Garxena has 4[Four Swords Links count as 1]) and one Zelda unless you control White Queen Zelda, then you're allowed one other Zelda.
7. You can have TWO bad guys in the Royal Family.
8. You can have any number of other bad guys.
9. You can have any number of other characters in the Resistance.
10. Any deity/god/spirit except for Valoo is unusable for a reason you'll learn soon, but they will be usable after awhile.
11. No Original Characters.
12. Links are the only ones whose names can be changed (and they have to be changed).
13. A couple of the Zeldas, Black King Ganon, Legend of Zelda/Adventure of Link Link, and Twilight Princess Link need preview posts to be used. Preview Posts don't have to be any special. Just a paragraph or so.
14. Besides Ghirahim, there will be nothing else from Skyward Sword yet.
15. Nobody starts with their Master Weapon (more on this later).
16. Your Link's 'Basic Weapon' is a specific weapon from any game, but it cannot be the same as another Link (Legend of Zelda/Adventure of Link's Link and the Four Swords Links don't count for this. So you can pick the same basic weapon that one of them have).
17. Don't complain about your Link's Master Weapon or Special Ability. Unfortunately, I worked with what the games gave me and it seems really unfair but I can't help that :/
18. Your Link only gets a Basic Weapon, Master Weapon, and a Special Ability. Unlike the games, you won't be obtaining every single item (LoZ/AoL Link is the only exception). Every Link except Hero of Time starts with a Hero's Sword and Hero's Shield. Hero of Time starts with a depowered Master Sword and a Hylian Shield.
19. All Links except Hero of Time and Shadow Link start in a dungeon in Black King Ganon's castle.
20. If your Link has a 'companion,' you are allowed to play as that companion as well as your Link. Spirit Zelda and Midna can be either companions or characters in their own rights.
21. You do not have to use your Link's companions at all.
22. You don't have had to play the game to play as that game's character.
23. Finally, if you want a character, all you have to do is claim him/her. For the Links, simply say which game you want, their new name and reasoning for the name, the basic weapon (unless that slot is already filled), and whether or not you want to use the companion. If your character needs a preview post, you can reserve your character before giving me the post.

Spoiler: Preview Post

Sitting on top of a huge boulder with eyes closed, the green clad hero was enjoying the nice cool breeze that blew by. His journey was quite the difficult one filled with monsters roaming around for his blood. Despite all the danger he was still able to find a good place and rest, after all even a hero deserved a good rest from time to time.

Of course this moment of relaxation was only a short one. Opening his eyes Link’s eyes witnessed a group of Moblins heading towards him with ill intent. Fearlessly, Link drew out the sword and shield resting on his back. Hopping off the boulder, Link gripped his sword and shield as he prepared himself for the onslaught.

Blocking with his shield and slashing with his sword, Link began to cut through the opposing Moblins out for his blood. Paralyzing his opponents, bombing a group of enemies, and even shooting faraway enemies, all the useful items he has gained from his journey were put to use effectively. With the help of his many useful items he was able to clear out the group of Moblins and continue on with his quest.

Spoiler: preview post

Sapphire-hued irises gazed up into a bright sky, the emerald blades of grass pricking at his skin, yet providing a cushioned surface for him to lie back on. His breathing was steady, chest slowly falling and rising as he lay there enchanted by his own daydreams. Memories drifted lazily in and out of his head, lacing with fantasy to weave an overall ethereal experience. The warmth of sunshine embraced him, his senses at calm for the first time in weeks. Truth be told, it was all so unreal that he nearly felt uncomfortable. There was only one word that could describe the rare filter of awareness he had successfully obtained; peace. He felt no more and no less than at peace.

The world around him was slowed, his body warm, and though he was lying there sprawled out on the grass in nothing more than his green tunic, he felt safe. The heaviness of his sword was lifted, his heart beating calmly. As he closed his eyes and embraced this consciousness, he suddenly felt something. A raindrop. He couldn't bother to be surprised. The sky darkened, thick clouds covering up the sunshine that brought him warmth. His arms dropped to his sides, his fingertips brushing up against the hilt of his sword. That's right.

That world was nothing but a fantasy. It was a dream.

1. Legend of Zelda/Adventure of Link - Link to the Past/Link's Awakening - Ocarina of Time Child Timeline/Majora's Mask - Oracle of Ages/Oracle of Seasons - Four Swords/Four Swords Adventure - The Minish Cap (White Queen Zelda)

Spoiler

A merger of several Zeldas, White Queen Zelda has the strongest part of the Triforce of Wisdom. When Black King Ganon was unable to extract it from her, he cast a spell that forbid her from leaving his castle or directly attacking any member of the new Royal Family.

This Zelda needs a Preview Post if you want her.

2. Spirit Tracks (Spirit Zelda)

Spoiler

A bodiless soul, Princess Zelda found herself without her body once again when Ganondorf merged the Hyrules. Unlike her respective Link, she is stuck as a ghost, though it gives her the ability to possess weaker monsters and Phantoms.

3. Twilight Princess (Dark Zelda)

Spoiler

This Zelda found herself filled with Ganon's energy from her time possessed as him, but this time she could control it. In a strange twist of fate, she wields a shard of the Triforce of Power along with the Triforce of Wisdom.
She is greatly skilled with her sword. When she's in her Dark form, she gets the abilities to hover and shoot energy spheres, as well as a general increase in her strength and speed. Unfortunately, this change her personality and makes her more aggressive.

Spoiler: Preview Post

The wind blew through Zelda's blond hair. Her sword was placed point against the Octorok's flesh, the beast trembling with fear on the grass of Hyrule Plains. She slashed through its body and spun around, frowning at the rise of monsters approaching from the west. She took a tentative step forward, then bit her lip and stopped. As the wave of deadly creatures grew closer to her location, she looked into the night sky and closed her eyes. It was time. As the familiar feeling washed over her body, she felt everything about her start to change.

The energy began to prickle over her palms, and then her previous mind was gone. She did not speak to the beasts, she simply stepped forward. An orb of energy flew out of her hand and smashed through one of the monsters. She jumped into the air and began to float, firing more energy into the crowd. A chuchu threw itself onto her leg, its expressionless face looking into her eyes. It slashed into her leg, and she tumbled to the ground. She stabbed the beast in the eye, getting to her feet. The wound on her leg was painful, but she ignored it. She looked into the approaching monster's eyes and laughed. She was powerful.

(Britishism)

4. WindWaker/Phantom Hourglass (Tetra)

Spoiler

Tetra is an alter ego created by the Triforce of Wisdom to hide her identity as Princess Zelda. She regains the ability to switch back and forth between her Tetra form and her Princess Zelda form.

(Webhead)

5. Ocarina of Time Adult Timeline (Sheik)

Spoiler

A male alter ego Zelda created, this Princess Zelda also faded back to existence with Hylia, like the Hero of Time. Sheik has great speed, strength, and agility, typical of a ninja. He's able to disappear in a flash by using Deku Nuts and is skilled with a small sword. Strangely, just like Shadow Link, Sheik has the middle Mark on his hand filled in, signifying another side of the Triforce that he wields along with Wisdom.

Spoiler: Preview Post

The blue and white of the man's outfit did nothing to help hide him in the bright greens and browns of the forest. But he was not concerned with concealing him at this point; he just needed to get through the cursed terrain. His breathing was barely noticeable through the mask that covered the lower half of his face, along with the light breeze that was rustling the leaves.
"Hmm," he sighed, rubbing his covered head with a hand that was smaller than the average man's. Below his hiding spot in the trees, there were three purple, club-wielding monsters. The trouble wasn't in taking them out -- that would be easy -- no, it was in what would happen afterwards. If he sneaked past the creatures, everything would most likely be fine, though he'd run into them again on his way back. If he killed them here and now, it could attract attention to his path. Another minute of thought and the man had come to his decision: kill them now and let happen what will.
One of the bokoblins was pacing right under the man's branch. A smirk spread beneath his mask as he drew three senbon. Aimed properly and thrown with enough force, the needles could easily kill their target. And they did. Not a second later, the first bokoblin was on the ground, its killer leaping to the forest floor and rushing the last two bokoblins. One swung its club at the assailant's lowered head, but he vanished mid-swing. The bokoblin didn't even have time to look for its target before it was struck down from behind. The final bokoblin stumbled backward until it hit a tree.
"Tell your master," the man growled. In his pause, a needle lodged into the tree on both sides of the bokoblin's head. "We're taking back Hylia." In a flash of light and smoke from deku nuts, t he man was gone. The bokoblin knew exactly what name to give his master: Sheik.

(Garxena)

Royal Family of Evil
Each member of the Royal Family has a title. Except for Agahnim, Nightmare, and Twinrova sisters, each Royal Family member rules over a part of Hylia (though some of them rule over armies).

Spoiler: Royal Family of Evil

1. Black King Ganon

Spoiler

Black King Ganon rules over the entirety of Hylia from the center in Hyrule Castle. He is the leader of the Royal Family. To stop the selfish leaders from bickering and wanting power, he gave them each a region to rule over, though his word is above theirs.

Spoiler: Preview Post

The heavy, curve-edged blade cleaved through the soldiers armour as though it were made of grass, with the form of the man inside it being slammed brutally against the floor by the sheer strength behind the blow. Still alive, though struggling for breath, he tried to crawl away, hardly getting more than an inch before being rendered unconcious by the heavy boot slammed down on his back.
Without a trace of visible emotion on his face, the clear victor of the skirmish stepped smoothly onward, approaching the now-empty throne that stood before him. At last, a glimmer of something appeared; his stoic expression turning up at the edges into a somehow-fearsome smirk of amusement.
"This is all the resistance that the fabled Hylian Guard has to offer?" he questioned, his loud, deep voice resounding off of the walls and only sounding all the more terrifying to those that remained concious enough to hear it. "And how did the so-called King hope to be protected by such a pitiful force? Or was he simply so vain as to believe nobody would dare oppose his reign?"
The speech was entirely for show; he knew for a fact that these soldiers were not weak. In fact, they were quite possibly the most worthy a foe that one could be without weilding a piece of the Triforce themselves, it was simply that Ganondorf's own power surpassed all of them absolutely. Dark magic, substantial size, and titanic strength were far more than any mere human could hope to defeat, and yet still they had stood against him. Perhaps, if they could be twisted to his own side, these loyal guards of the Princess and King could become far more useful to his efforts than the Garudo leader had anticipated...

(DarkTraitor)

2. Dark Wizard Agahnim (A Link to the Past)

Spoiler

A dark wizard that Ganon corrupted. Agahnim once helped his Hyrule’s king save the land from pestilence and drought using magic. He was rewarded by given the positions that of the King’s chief advisor and heir to the Seven Sages (who sealed Ganon long ago). With his new authority, Agahnim disposed of the King and sent seven Maidens (descendants of the Sages) to the Dark World, including Zelda. After being defeated by Link, Agahnim allows for Ganon to escape the Dark World.
In Black King Ganon’s new Hylia, Agahnim serves as the Royal Family’s adviser, magician, and liaison to each other. He’s able to teleport from each castle to talk to each “King.†He has vast magical abilities that make him a formidable opponent, but his evilness and power pale in comparison to the ‘Kings.’ Because of this, he is instead a loyal servant of the Black King. However, he made his home in the Temple of Time in Hyrule Castle Town

3. Evil Shadow Nightmare (Link's Awakening)

Spoiler

An ancient evil that wishes for its imaginary world to exist forever so it could rule it forever. Now, in the real world, Nightmare is simply an evil force that the Royal Family uses as a 'guard dog.' Like Agahnim, Nightmare can travel freely between the castles. Nightmare has the ability to shapeshift. He can often be found on Koholint Island, terrorizing the residents.

4. Skull Kid Majora (Majora's Mask)

Spoiler

Majora’s Mask was once used in hexing rituals until it caused troubles so great that the mysterious tribe who used it sealed the mask. The mask was found by a Happy Mask Salesman until he was attacked and robbed by the Skull Kid, a young imp who resorted to trickery after being heartbroken and abandoned by his four Giant friends. The mask possessed the Skull Kid and tried to summon the Moon to fall and destroy the land of Termina. He would have succeeded if not for the interference of Link.
Majora has great magical skill, his abilities taking the form of pranks filled with great malice. He has the ability to transform into three alternate forms: Majora’s Mask, Majora’s Incarnation, and Majora’s Wrath. Taking on ‘Skull Kid’ as a title, Skull Kid Majora isn’t technically part of the Royal Family. He’s more of a tolerated nuisance that aids them in evil, but also plagues them at times. Because of this, Ganon left the Kingdom of Termina to Majora, not interfering with anything Majora does as long as he keeps himself there. However, Wind Mage Vaati is given some authority in Termina so he can keep an eye on Majora. Skull Kid Majora can often be found in the kingdom of Termina or in the Lost Woods.

(Britishism)

5. General of Darkness Onox (Oracle of Seasons)

Spoiler

Though he looks like an armored Hylian, Onox is in fact a Dark Dragon taking the form of a Hylian. Onox was summoned to Holodrum by Twinrova to capture the Oracle of Seasons, Din, which he successfully did. He caused utter chaos in Holodrum by throwing the seasons into disorder. He was defeated by Link, who rescued Din, but it was too late as his purpose was served: He lit the Flame of Destruction that led the way to Ganon’s unsuccessful resurrection.
In Black King Ganon’s new Hylia, Onox keeps his title as “General of Darkness†and is the head of Ganon’s army of monsters. He often takes his army to Death Mountain and the Desert Colossus.

6. Sorceress of Shadows Veran (Oracle of Ages)

Spoiler

Though her true form is not the Twili-like form she takes, Veran appears to be a Twili sorceress. She used her ability to possess people to obsess Nayru, the Oracle of Ages, in Labrynna. Her plan was to travel back in time and ‘advise’ the Queen to build a tower for good reasons…but she instead used the tower for evil. After being confronted by Link, she then possessed the queen. Confronted again, she changed forms and fought Link, though she lost. However, she lit the Flame of Sorrow, paving the way for Ganon’s resurrection.
In the Black King’s new Hylia, she keeps her title as Sorceress of Shadows and leads Ganon’s army of Dark Links.
She often bases her army of Dark Links on Tal Tal Mountain Range where she can terrorize Koholint Island and stop its citizens from escaping or help from arriving.

7. Sorceress Sisters Twinrova

Spoiler

Like Ganon, these witch sisters transcend a single timeline. In Ganon’s original Hyrule, they were his surrogate mothers until Link defeated them in the Spirit Temple. They returned hundreds of years later to revive the dead Ganon after he was killed. They used Veran and Onox to light two flames in a dark ritual, finally kidnapping Princess Zelda to light the Flame of Despair. Intending to use her as a sacrifice to resurrect Ganon, they were foiled by Link. Instead, they sacrificed themselves. The foiled ritual revived Ganon as a mindless beast to be defeated by Link once again.
In the Black King’s new Hylia, they are his most loyal servants, often making sure the other ‘Kings’ don’t ruin Ganon’s plans.
Ghirahim often has them watch over his "area" of Eldin Volcano, Lake Floria, and the Great Ice Field.

Must be controlled by one person. Considered as one character.


8. Wind Mage Vaati (The Minish Cap/Four Swords/FSAdventure)

Spoiler

Originally the Minish apprentice to Ezlo, Vaati stole a wish-granting cap and used it to become a powerful sorcerer so he could obtain god-like powers. He turned a Zelda to stone and set off to search for the mystical Light Force. Minish Cap Link defeats and seals Vaati into his sword. Years later, a new Zelda traveled with Four Swords Link to confirm Vaati was still sealed. Vaati escaped and kidnapped her. She was rescued and Vaati was defeated by Link, who sealed him once again. Ganon then orchestrated Vaati’s second escape as a way to use him to escape his own seal, but both were defeated by Link.
In the New Hylia, He is given authority over another kingdom, Kingdom of the Ocean King. This is due to the primary force of power there, Bellum, being more of an evil force than an intelligent ruler. Vaati is tasked with keeping tabs on Bellum and his reward for this rule over the Kingdom of the Ocean King. He is also asked to look over Termina and to keep tabs on Skull Kid Majora. Vaati has access to all five of his forms. As a reward for his loyalty, his palace floats over the Lost Woods (where he can watch over Majora), directly over Minish Village, put there for his personal amusement.

9. Evil Phantom Bellum (Phantom Hourglass)

Spoiler

Like Nightmare, Bellum is an ancient malevolent force. He originally drained the Ocean King Oshus’ life force until Oshus was forced to split himself and hide. He was defeated by Link using the Phantom Sword.
In the New Hyrule, Bellum rules over the Kingdom of the Ocean King with no relation to Ganon. To keep him from causing too much destruction to his world, Ganon assigns one of his Princes, the Wind Mage Vaati, to rule over the Kingdom of the Ocean King alongside Bellum. Vaati captured Oshus, the true Ocean King, and keeps him locked up where Bellum can continuously drain Oshus’ life force. Bellum can change into his "BellumBeck" form when strong enough. Bellum is somewhere beneath the Isle of Ember, draining the Ocean King of his life force.

10. Demon King Malladus (Spirit Tracks)

Spoiler

Malladus is an ancient demon that ruled over New Hyrule until a rebellion broke out and trapped him underground, using his shackles to become Spirit Tracks, train tracks that reached across Hyrule. He was freed by Chancellor Cole and Bryne and used Princess Zelda’s body as his vessel. He proceeded to kill Bryne. Before he could regain rule over Hyrule, Link and Zelda forced him out of Zelda’s body. He possessed Chancellor Cole and became a giant beast, but his incompatibility with Cole’s body allowed Link to destroy him.
In Ganon’s new Hylia, the Tower of Spirits is fragmented and floats over the ocean, near the Desert of Doubt. Malladus can be found near these areas and rules Isle of Ember and Koholint Island above Veran, Bellum, and Nightmare. Malladus is able to possess people and shift into his "Cole" form.

11. Usurper King Zant (Twilight Princess)

Spoiler

: In his realm in his respective timeline, Zant was passed over for throne of the Twili in favor of Midna. He was contacted by Ganon who offered him power. Zant took the power, cursed Midna, and usurped the throne. Building an army of Shadow Beasts, he opened a portal to Hyrule and cast the Twilight Realm over the land to conquer it. He was eventually defeated by Midna and Link.
In Hylia, Zant is still known as the Usurper King, but he was given his own kingdom to rule over, which is the largest kingdom of the entire Royal Family's (next to Ganon who rules over all of it, collectively). He rules over the entire east side of New Hylia, composed of Death Mountain, Desert Colossus, Dragon Roost Island, the Great Bay, Zora Cape, Snowpeak Province, and Snowhead Island. This gives him reign over the Rito, Zora, and Goron races. However, his "home base" is a hidden castle inside Lake Hylia. He is a loyal follower of Ganon, believing him to be a God.

(DarkTraitor)

12. Demon Lord Ghirahim (Skyward Sword)

Spoiler

Ghirahim is shrouded in mystery. Ganon has no knowledge of Ghirahim, despite having seen what he thought were all timelines and versions of Hyrule. Ghirahim keeps his past a secret, but told Ganon it’s because his Hyrule was the first and it all comes back to him. His intentions are also a mystery and he has no corresponding Link. He has immense magical power, enough to rivals Ganondorf, though he’ll easily admit that Ganon’s power surpasses his own with the Triforce of Power. He was given the title of Prince, though he refers to himself as Demon Lord Ghirahim, and rules over Hylia beneath Ganon. He knows he was given this position so Ganon could keep a close eye on him, but he doesn’t mind it. He rules over the Forsaken Fortress with the Helmaroc King. He also rules over the Great Ice Field, Eldin Volcano, and Lake Floria, but he leaves these in the care of Twinrova when he's at his fortress.

The Resistance
The Resistance was formed by Prince Komali and is composed of non-Link and non-Zelda good characters from the games. They oppose the new Royal Family and seek a way to restore their respective Hyrules. Resistance members are allowed any weapon as long it's from their game and has some connection to them. The Zeldas can be part of them (and if we can't find a good place for them to start, then they will be a part of them).

Spoiler: The Resistance

1. Prince Komali (Wind Waker)

Spoiler

Prince Komali shut himself from the world after his grandmother died. If it wasn't for Link saving Valoo from a torturous monster and giving Komali the self-confidence he needed, the Ruto Prince would never have earned his wings.
After the merging of Hyrules, he was the first to fight against the Royal Family, but he was deemed a non-threat. Since then, he started the Resistance, hoping to build a group large enough to fight back.
He wields a grappling hook and can (obviously) fly. He has regained Din's Pearl.

(Webhead)

2. Princess Ruto (Ocarina of Time)

Spoiler

Princess Ruto was once the Sage of Water. In her native time, she ended up engaged by Zora custom to Link. In that time's future, she was the Sage of Water and aided Link in activating the Temple of Water. She told the Hero of Time that she remembers their engagement but they can't be together due to her duties as Sage.
She is part of the resistance and has the general Zora abilities.

(Garxena)

3. Ashei (Twilight Princess)

Spoiler

In her own Hyrule, Ashei was part of a resistance, having been raised by her father who was a knight.
She is most likely the most combat-able member of the Resistance. She is very skilled in swordplay, rivaling any of the Shards of Courage

(Garxena)

4. Valoo (Wind Waker)

Spoiler

The Sky Spirit of Dragon Roost Island, and the god of the Ruto tribe of flying mailmen, Valoo holds a great grudge against Ganondorf for torturing him with Gohma in his own time. Similarly, he holds Link in great reverence for freeing him from Gohma. Unlike the other deities, Valoo is awake and free. At Prince Komali's wish, he guards over the Resistance.

(Webhead)

I know the pictures are ugly. I'll fix them later lol
​

 

Reserving Twilight Princess Link, with Midna. I'll name him later and post my preview post as well at that time. Also, cross bow for a basic weapon, please. c:

His name is Akarian.

Preview post;

Spoiler

Sapphire-hued irises gazed up into a bright sky, the emerald blades of grass pricking at his skin, yet providing a cushioned surface for him to lie back on. His breathing was steady, chest slowly falling and rising as he lay there enchanted by his own daydreams. Memories drifted lazily in and out of his head, lacing with fantasy to weave an overall ethereal experience. The warmth of sunshine embraced him, his senses at calm for the first time in weeks. Truth be told, it was all so unreal that he nearly felt uncomfortable. There was only one word that could describe the rare filter of awareness he had successfully obtained; peace. He felt no more and no less than at peace.

The world around him was slowed, his body warm, and though he was lying there sprawled out on the grass in nothing more than his green tunic, he felt safe. The heaviness of his sword was lifted, his heart beating calmly. As he closed his eyes and embraced this consciousness, he suddenly felt something. A raindrop. He couldn't bother to be surprised. The sky darkened, thick clouds covering up the sunshine that brought him warmth. His arms dropped to his sides, his fingertips brushing up against the hilt of his sword. That's right.

That world was nothing but a fantasy. It was a dream.

​

 

Wind Waker/Phantom Of The Hourglass Link. No companion. Plus bombs as my basic weapon.

His name?: Ulan

 

Minish Cap Link, companion Ezlo, Boomerang for basic weapon, name: Aaron.

Also, Twilight Princess dark Zelda.

Spoiler: preview post

The wind blew through Zelda's blond hair. Her sword was placed point against the Octorok's flesh, the beast trembling with fear on the grass of Hyrule Plains. She slashed through its body and spun around, frowning at the rise of monsters approaching from the west. She took a tentative step forward, then bit her lip and stopped. As the wave of deadly creatures grew closer to her location, she looked into the night sky and closed her eyes. It was time. As the familiar feeling washed over her body, she felt everything about her start to change.

The energy began to prickle over her palms, and then her previous mind was gone. She did not speak to the beasts, she simply stepped forward. An orb of energy flew out of her hand and smashed through one of the monsters. She jumped into the air and began to float, firing more energy into the crowd. A chuchu threw itself onto her leg, its expressionless face looking into her eyes. It slashed into her leg, and she tumbled to the ground. She stabbed the beast in the eye, getting to her feet. The wound on her leg was painful, but she ignored it. She looked into the approaching monster's eyes and laughed. She was powerful.

 

Spirit Tracks Link, without his Zelda. Clawshot(s) as basic weapon. New name: Aether (because Phantoms come from beyond it).
For villains; Usurper King Zant, possibly also Black King Ganon though I think I may need to discuss it before settling on anything. Preview post will come later.

 

Edited my post with preview for Zelda, and I would like to claim Skull Kid Majora as well, if at all possible.

 

Claiming the Link to the Past Link. His name will be Guardian (Because they Refer to him as the Hero and he kinda guards the pendants at the end)

2. Link to the Past/Link's Awakening

Hookshot for basic weapon
Bomb arrows as Master Weapon.
I'd Also like White queen Zelda. Will preview post for her later.

For Vllian I'd Like Vaati please.

 

Been told to claim the bow and shizzle for my Hero of Time.
Yup... lol

*claimed*

 

I would like to claim the LOZ/AOL Link and also Onox. Link's name will be Silver

Preview post:

Spoiler

Sitting on top of a huge boulder with eyes closed, the green clad hero was enjoying the nice cool breeze that blew by. His journey was quite the difficult one filled with monsters roaming around for his blood. Despite all the danger he was still able to find a good place and rest, after all even a hero deserved a good rest from time to time.

Of course this moment of relaxation was only a short one. Opening his eyes Link’s eyes witnessed a group of Moblins heading towards him with ill intent. Fearlessly, Link drew out the sword and shield resting on his back. Hopping off the boulder, Link gripped his sword and shield as he prepared himself for the onslaught.

Blocking with his shield and slashing with his sword, Link began to cut through the opposing Moblins out for his blood. Paralyzing his opponents, bombing a group of enemies, and even shooting faraway enemies, all the useful items he has gained from his journey were put to use effectively. With the help of his many useful items he was able to clear out the group of Moblins and continue on with his quest.

 

I'm debating on Sheik. If I decide to take her/him, I'll have a preview post up tomorrow or the day after (since I'm busy with school, job hunting, and then going to see The Lion King 3D!).

((I'm so fluffing excited for this! 8D))

EDIT:

Spoiler: non-formatted preview post for Sheik

The blue and white of the man's outfit did nothing to help hide him in the bright greens and browns of the forest. But he was not concerned with concealing him at this point; he just needed to get through the cursed terrain. His breathing was barely noticeable through the mask that covered the lower half of his face, along with the light breeze that was rustling the leaves.
"Hmm," he sighed, rubbing his covered head with a hand that was smaller than the average man's. Below his hiding spot in the trees, there were three purple, club-wielding monsters. The trouble wasn't in taking them out -- that would be easy -- no, it was in what would happen afterwards. If he sneaked past the creatures, everything would most likely be fine, though he'd run into them again on his way back. If he killed them here and now, it could attract attention to his path. Another minute of thought and the man had come to his decision: kill them now and let happen what will.
One of the bokoblins was pacing right under the man's branch. A smirk spread beneath his mask as he drew three senbon. Aimed properly and thrown with enough force, the needles could easily kill their target. And they did. Not a second later, the first bokoblin was on the ground, its killer leaping to the forest floor and rushing the last two bokoblins. One swung its club at the assailant's lowered head, but he vanished mid-swing. The bokoblin didn't even have time to look for its target before it was struck down from behind. The final bokoblin stumbled backward until it hit a tree.
"Tell your master," the man growled. In his pause, a needle lodged into the tree on both sides of the bokoblin's head. "We're taking back Hylia." In a flash of light and smoke from deku nuts, t he man was gone. The bokoblin knew exactly what name to give his master: Sheik.

 

EDIT: Nevermind. Looks like all the Links are taken.

 

Definitely wanting to take Black King Ganon now, so here be the preview post of doom!

Spoiler: Unformated Post

The heavy, curve-edged blade cleaved through the soldiers armour as though it were made of grass, with the form of the man inside it being slammed brutally against the floor by the sheer strength behind the blow. Still alive, though struggling for breath, he tried to crawl away, hardly getting more than an inch before being rendered unconcious by the heavy boot slammed down on his back.
Without a trace of visible emotion on his face, the clear victor of the skirmish stepped smoothly onward, approaching the now-empty throne that stood before him. At last, a glimmer of something appeared; his stoic expression turning up at the edges into a somehow-fearsome smirk of amusement.
"This is all the resistance that the fabled Hylian Guard has to offer?" he questioned, his loud, deep voice resounding off of the walls and only sounding all the more terrifying to those that remained concious enough to hear it. "And how did the so-called King hope to be protected by such a pitiful force? Or was he simply so vain as to believe nobody would dare oppose his reign?"
The speech was entirely for show; he knew for a fact that these soldiers were not weak. In fact, they were quite possibly the most worthy a foe that one could be without weilding a piece of the Triforce themselves, it was simply that Ganondorf's own power surpassed all of them absolutely. Dark magic, substantial size, and titanic strength were far more than any mere human could hope to defeat, and yet still they had stood against him. Perhaps, if they could be twisted to his own side, these loyal guards of the Princess and King could become far more useful to his efforts than the Garudo leader had anticipated...

 

Haven't edited the first post, but just letting everyone know that SparksOfLogic has dropped out of the RP and HeartlessOfLight will be taking over as Oracle of Seasons/Oracle of Ages Link.

As for Preview Posts:
Britishism, Dark Zelda is good~
TwilighterBlader, Silver's alright~
Garxena, I'm sorry, but that was the worst preview post ever!...just kidding, Sheik's awesome~
Darktraitor, good as always!

So everything's fine. Guys, I appreciate the patience and I swear, this will be started this week! (I'm looking for tomorrow night or Wednesday~)
There won't be a map, though, which is the biggest thing I'm concerned about, tbh. I want a visual of Hylia. But we'll start without it~

 

Sorry to mention this now but can I change Silver's name to Kasuto (reference to the village in Zelda II)

Silver was in reference of the "silver" arrows but decided it didn't fit

 

You sure can~

 

... I quit. T^T

NAH NAH! XD I can't wait for this to start~

 

@Jayn, FuzzyBlueLights, Ventus108, and DarkTraitor: I hate to do this but I changed my mind. Unless you can give me a good reason for it, you must change your Links' names. The names have to be from their specific games but you can be creative for it.

@Ventus108, I'm still waiting for a preview post if you want White Queen Zelda. Also, I didn't realize this before but FuzzyBlueLights chose bombs before you. You need a different basic weapon. Sorry :/

Once we get those figured it out, we'll be one step away from starting~
Oh, and I claimed Tetra for myself and edited most of the pictures. I also updated the first post with all of the valid information of the characters.

 

I'm throwing in a claim for Impa. Since she is actually as you will learn, the same Impa in both Skyward Sword and the other games... yeah.
http://www.zeldawiki.org/Impa

Spoiler: very large picture of appearance

She'll obviously be a resistance character.


Also, I have a claim for a secret bad-guy that Bueno is aware of.

~

Anyway, yeah.
Quick update for you guys. Apparantly, Bueno is waiting for a secure internet connection before we start this properly, but he believes it will be very soon now. Any day in fact. Hopefully, today if possible.

 

wat. Why did you change it? They're all named Link.
I genuinely don't understand what to name him then, if not something original. ;__;
​

 

Your Link is the Twilight Princess one right?
...Um... think back over everything from Twilight Princess, maybe a word that had relevance or the name for something else perhaps? Something that Link would find personal and would want to name himself, since in the RP, I believe it's a case that they realise they can't all call themselves Link or it will become confusing, so they give themselves unique names.
Essentially, try to think of what your Link would think of. XD
Or maybe Midna herself would come up with his name, that sounds like something she would do. :P
