Omg, okayokay, aaaaah-

Thank you for this ask! He does have a backstory! I created him ages ago, and I’ll share the piece I had commissioned for him! This is gonna be a really long reply so please bear with me!

This is my baby boy, Fate. Art is done by @/emily-e-draws! I didn’t commission his Zelda (I call her Karma), so unfortunately I don’t have anything for her. BUT!

Fate actually comes directly after Twilight, however he is NOT a descendant of him. Karma is Dusk's (Twilight's Zelda) great-great granddaughter. Fate is a young boy who was born to a Hylian couple that lived in Kakariko Village. They ran a small potions shop and worked alongside the village shaman Renado until he passed away, and his daughter Luda became shaman.

He was born without his sight, so that’s why his eyes are a milky blue. This makes doing things on his own incredibly difficult, so he spends most of his time traveling with a friend or with his mother and father. He found the Master Sword when he was fourteen during a walk in the woods by Ordon Village. He had hit it with his walking cane and was stunned by the sheer force of the magic that radiated from it. He touched the hilt of the sword and was absolutely aghast when he was able to see the traces of magic in everything around him. When he returned home with it in his hand, his mother and father were terrified. They had told him of the valiant Hero of Twilight growing up, the man who was very close to Renado, and depicted his journey in greater detail. Despite their pleas to put the sword back and never return to the place where he'd gotten it, Fate refused and kept the Master Sword. He began to learn the art of swordsmanship using a book he'd been given by Luda that was written by the Hero of Twilight himself. The book depicted all of his skills and everything he'd learned from his own mentor, and it took a bit of time, patience from Luda, and a *lot* of bloody bandages before he was able to learn every single skill.

Fate met Karma when he was 16, and they immediately became friends, but a friendship between the princess and the son of a potions master was frowned upon, so their friendship was shrouded in secrecy.

During their leisure walk in the gardens where he explained how he found the Master Sword, he was ambushed and killed right in front of her by a swarm of monsters. Those same monsters kidnapped Karma, leaving the boy's body in the garden. He found himself in a white expanse, and held his hand before his eyes as the four Spirits of Light- Ordona, Eldin, Faron, and Lanayru- took form in front of him. *Child of Light, have courage. We have deemed you worthy of a second chance. Look, you have been blessed by the Spirit of the Hero. Zelda needs your aid. Now, rise, for the evils of Ganondorf return to this land. Go, and save Hyrule from this blight.* He awoke in the Garden, took the Master Sword in hand, and went to say goodbye to his family before setting on his journey to find Zelda and defeat Ganondorf.

The Master Sword gives him the ability to “see” when he’s actively holding it, but when he joins the Chain, Sky is the only one who has the Master Sword, so he comes up with a spell that gives him the ability to “see” for a short period of time, and he can only use it a few times a day.

Since he’s blind, when he’s not using the Master Sword, Fate fights with his walking cane (it doubles as a staff) and a combat style called Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu, which is a grappling style of combat made to neutralize an enemy attack using their own force and energy against them. There are some videos on YouTube detailing how this technique is employed, and I actually had started writing how he meets the Chain, but I haven’t touched it in a while 😅

This is my problem.

Twilight as a MMA champion or something.

Hear me out under the cut.
