Fandom Legend of Zelda: The Old Ways

[Flame Demon]

The hero succeeded, Ganon is sealed away forever, or so everyone thinks. Now on top of being in the modern age Hyrule, where things that were once normal are seen as weird, there is no Link or Zelda in sight. Ganon returns and takes over the kingdom of Hyrule, ruling it as a dictator, bringing back the old ways.

A group of people(humans, Hyrulians or Garudo), not quite normal, not quite weird, find some ruins after wandering through the Lost Woods, inside that ruin are several items once used by past heroes, the Deku tree tells them that they need to use those items to save their world from Ganon, though they need to learn how to use the items effectively, to do that they need to travel to the past.

It's a normal day in the kingdom of Hyrule, it's a sunny and warm day and the school, which was rumored to be the castle once, is having a school festival, so it's bustling with activities.

Rosalyn is at one of the food stalls, having her hair in a braid so it doesn't get in the way of helping make the food, she's supposed to be at the dance performance later that day though. She has her bag with the cloak close by just in case, she woke up feeling awfully uneasy that day and her grandparents told her she was just nervous to be dancing in front of so many people even though she has done that since she was a kid, which is the only reason why she's joining the performance in the first place.

When she has her break she goes to leans against a tree in the shade "Should've brought my sunglasses with me." she mumbles while looking at the sky, she also doesn't get why her grandfather insisted she's take those weapons with her that morning, not that anyone else would grab or see it, bags worked very weird and fascinating in Hyrule she noticed, everything fit in it and everyone always grabbed what they needed instead of first grabbing every unneccesary item they may need later.

"Haa!" Sara sent her hawk to attack a designated target, demonstrating Ordon falconry for the people and just how effective the bird could be.
"I can't wait til I'm finished." Sara thought to herself as the bird returned to her gloved hand. While she may have appeared confident on the outside, she felt like a nervous wreck around all of these people. "Why did I have to mention that I was a falconer?"
Sara mentally kicked herself for bringing it up while the school festival was being planned. Apparently, falconry was not a common practice in Castle Town so her teacher got permission from the headmaster to have Sara demonstrate at the festival... On stage... In front of hundreds of people.
"Quit that Sara! This is not the time to be thinking about that!" Sara eventually finished her performance, allowing the strong bird to fly away with a chunk of meat in its talons. As soon as Sara was off the stage and out of sight, she breathed a sigh of relief. "I don't think I ever want to do that again."

Seeing the falcon why off in the distance makes Rosalyn realize that she's probably up soon with the others, they had somehow made a dance routine that mixed most traditional dances together without looking too weird or out of place, but they hadn't decided who'd go in front yet with the different parts, so they'd do that, go back to the stalls since they had guests performing and then they'd be up. However when she enters the building she suddenly stops as the restless feeling grows worse, like they absolutely shouldn't be in the old castle, but she shrugs it off and heads to the meeting room.

Dia

“Hmm….”

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the school festival, a pink haired girl sat in the gymnasium, nestled between dance mats and a textbook clutched in her hand. As she squinted at the pages she could hear her fellow first year students move in and out the building as they transferred the various supplies needed to for the upcoming dance performance, a task that she too had been assigned. Yet, whatever content held in the book seemed to capture her interest far more, as she quietly murmured to her self, delicately tracking a finger along the sentences. It was only when one of the dance mats was suddenly lifted that the pink haired girl was reminded of the pressing task at hand. Holding up the mate in question was a bespeckled Sheikah girl, one of her classmates.

“Dia! Seriously, this is like the third time you’ve snuck off! C’mon help me carry this to the stage. I swear you were so eager to join the dance routine but oh ho ho once it’s time to put the effort in you go ahead and dip…”


She hurriedly slid the book away as she scrambled from out the crevice, “Ah! I’m Sorry! I promise I won’t do it again. It’s just…“

For a brief moment she glanced back to the textbook, a contemplative expression stretched upon her face. But, she shook her head.

“N-never mind. You said to the stage, right?”

The pink haired girl lifted the other end of the dance mat, and without another word the two girls left the gymnasium, crossing past the festival.

This was Dia. She’d only transferred to the school a few months ago and was still having a bit of a struggle getting used to….well, everything. Going from her small town home in Holodrum to the chaotic environment of Castle Town would leave anyone with at least some culture shock, and Dia was no exception. Still, she had been doing her best to immerse herself within the school environment, joining the dance club and even signing up for the performance this festival. But, even her love for the art of dance wasn’t enough to save her from her worries.

After all, being tasked with finding an ancient relic of your people would leave anyone at least a little stressed out. Not to mention, said relic could have very well been a myth for all she knew, and traveling to Hyrule in search might very well amount to nothing more but a goose chase. But, she couldn’t just give up now. Not when there was so much on the line. So, between the careful balance of school life and dancing, Dia had taken every chance she could to study any possible leads, even if it meant sneaking away just to read a few more pages of the history textbook she’d borrowed. But caught in the act, now all Dia could do was help with the dance performance, even if her thoughts remained elsewhere.

The two girls walked through the festival, as Dia glanced at the various stalls and activities set up. Off in the distance she could spot the stage, where a student seemed to be aim the midst of their performance, the falcon flying about likely apart of it. Dia and the other girl would eventually make their way back stage, dropping off the dance mat with a huff. Her task done, Dia had just been about to slip off for the umpteenth time when the bespectacled girl addressed her once more

“You should probably head over to the meeting room. They’re still trying to figure out something about what parts to give to who for the dance”

“Still!? I thought we had that planned out weeks ago!”

The Sheikah’s response was nothing more than a shrug as she shooed Dia off, clearly uninterested in whatever else Dia might have wanted to say.

So, with her shoulders slupped, Dia trudged her way towards the old castle, adding this whole situation onto one of the many other worries occupying her mind.

Unfortunately Dia had forgotten to ask which room they’d actually be meeting in, and by the time she realized this error she was already more than halfway to the building. Maybe she could ask someone there? After all, most students were likely at the festival, leaving those currently occupying the building to most likely be apart of planning…at least that was her thought process.

Speaking of, she spotted a white haired girl by the school’s entrance, seemingly stood frozen like a deer in headlights as she looked upon the building. Yet, before Dia could catch up whatever has caused the girl to freeze up seemingly passed, as she disappeared inside.

She’d tilt her head in mild confusion, mumbling,

“…What was that about?”


But she didn’t have much time to dwell on that now as…she didn’t exactly know which room in the castle was their meeting point, and if Dia wanted any luck in locating it, catching up with the white haired girl was probably her best bet. So, she shook away her confusion and rushed to meet up with her, slipping into the castle’s open doors as she called out,

“W-wait! Are you apart of the dance performance!?”

*Crunch*
Sara, bit into the apple she plucked from the tree acting as her perch. The fruit was not just crunchy, but a good balance of sweet and sour. Granted, the first bite is always the messiest, with the sudden release of the juices contained her hand was going to be feeling sticky very soon. Not that she really cared, Sara's stomach had a tendency to override other feelings whenever it was empty. Finishing the apple, Sara picked another one from a nearby branch and made her way back down the trunk. Having descended safely, she quickly made a beeline for the stables, ducking and dodging people as she ran. She had a good friend that was staying there.
"Hey Onyx!" Sara called over to the black horse in his stall, neighing back in greeting as he lowered his head for his rider. Sara smiled and scratched his jaw before offering the apple she brought with her. Needless to say, Onyx was more than happy to accept the fruit. While she pet the large horse, Sara suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, instinctively turning towards the old castle turned school. "What was that about?"

Rosalyn pauses when she hears the question, wasn't everyone else aware who else was performing during the dance? She does wait until the girl catches up.

"I though we all knew who was part of the performance?"

She decides to push the bad feeling to the side for the moment, though she has her hand close to the opening of her shoulder bag. She just wanted the meeting to be over so she could go back outside and be out of the building.

She does wonder why she's feeling like that, she's been living in Castle Town a long time, but never had this feeling before, maybe she could blame her grandparent's books on myhts and legends for this, but she's also been reading them for as long as she can read and it's never happened before, outside she can hear the announcement for the guest dancers, a group of Garudo.

"Let's just get this meeting over with so we can go back outside.".

Wulf polished his lyre as he sat down in the seat pointed out by his large furry companion. It was tough not being able to see anything... Then again, this was his life since day one.
"Thanks Shadow." Wulf reached out and rubbed his dog's head before plucking the strings on his instrument, making sure it was properly tuned before the upcoming dance performance. As a member of the band, the blind musician had to be ready to play at a moment's notice, especially if he had to change instruments mid-song. Shadow on the other hand, laid down next to Wulf's chair, legs beneath him as they waited to start.
Wulf was lucky to be placed in a more open section as Shadow was possibly the biggest seeing eye dog ever seen. Big enough, and possibly strong enough to ride like a horse.
Just as the duo settled down, both of their ears twitched in response to something neither of them understood. Shadow gave a low growl as Wulf tried to calm him, despite feeling an unnatural chill for that split second. He then whispered. "What was that?"
