What If The Hero Of Hyrule Was A Girl?

Day 48. The Lightning Temple Remains

Well, that source of history’s lost forever, but at least the gibdos are shrivelling in the sun, the ghosts are put to rest, and Riju found a cool rock.

(This totk rewrite au is called Familiar Familiar! It all starts when Zelda doesn’t get sent back in time and the butterfly effect devolved from there.)

Links uses a gun and doesn't know how to swordfight.

Zelda does know how to swordfight, the royal family finds these old traditions important, and is SO annoyed at him.

Hyrule is a constitutional monarchy. Zelda wants to become the president when she grows up and everyone is very 'is that allowed????' about it.

Study of gods, fate, and magic is its own academic field and there's vicious debate about the exact workings of the Master Sword. And the exact relationship between Hylia and the Golden Three.

The idea that the royal family is descended from Hylia is generally considered to be ye olde royal propaganda. That theory has little credibility in academic circles.

That said the unusually strong magics in the royal line have been the subject of much study. The nature of magic and what causes people to be born with strong expressions of it is as nebulous as the nature of autism, but it's generally presumed to be genetic and a popular theory is that the royal variant is an X-chromosome bound gene. Zelda is a trans girl though and refuses to do chromosome testing, which has really thrown academia for a loop.

If Zelda got the Triforce she's wish for some fucking privacy and a sword with RGB lights.

Some of Link's past heroics are relatively well-documented and taught in schools as history. 'Link' is a pretty popular children's name as a result.

That said it's been a few hundred years since the last one so Link claiming to be the Hero of the Sword has the same energy as someone claiming to be Napoleon.

Potions are mass produced and various potion recipes have been patented and are now proprietary. About as many people know how to make their own potions as there are people who know how to spin thread or cook acorns.

Several monsters are protected species and fighting them is a violation of the Magical Creatures Protection Act. Yes even if they are trying to kill you, Link.
