This Legend of Zelda AU fanfiction set in the child timeline centuries after the event of Twilight Princess is for @loz-untold-myths and @expanding-hyrule event Untold Myths Light & Time event day 1 Light: Glow and Time: Memories.

The seven years old strawberry blond hair Princess Zelda, wearing a white gown, is nervous as she enter the scared pool deep inside Hyrule Castle with her mother Queen Zelda holding her hand. Watching the princess attempt to awaken her scared power is a brown hair girl wearing green whose is one year older than Zelda named Link and Link's father, the captain of the guards, as well priests and the King of Hyrule and his brother, which Zelda's uncle said, "I cannot believe you invite me to see this event, brother. I have a kingdom to rule and I have hear tales that the past queen your daughter is named after has surrender in battle, and that cause those common folks to talk some bad things about the royal family. You need to keep them in check so they will followed you." The King said to his brother, "Don't said sure things, brother. My Zelda will rule the people the best of her abilities and she will make sure that the people will remain loyal to the royal family as they such be."

Princess Zelda was hearing what her father and uncle were saying before her mother to her, "Zelda, listen to me. There is nothing to be afraid, Zelda. Just take a deep breath and let Hylia flow her power within you." and the strawberry blond hair princess follow her mother's directions and close her eyes as she goes under the water, which a bright light glow around her body, which the priests said to the guests, "It is done, family and loved ones of Princess Zelda. She has awaken the scared power of Hylia."

I got my (now 18-year-old) daughter into Ao3 back in 2021. I taught her she should always comment - even if the fic looks old or abandoned or whatever. She did.

Well - she got this email this morning:

The fic was written in 2014 and essentially abandoned.

Bethy read and reviewed in 2021 (and was actually the only person who had commented at all).

Today in 2025 - the final chapter was posted by the author and this was her reply to Bethy’s comment.

Crappy Botw AU where, instead of waking up alone, you wake up to a skull kid trying to rob you then get to meet up with old companions of heroes you once idolized. While you work to regain your memories you also learn from them that those heroes were FAR from perfect and its okay to be a person first hero second. Or in less sophisticated words, an AU where botw Link becomes and STAYS an absolute menace to society. Because lets be real Totk seemed to have him go right back to knight mentality and thats not what I want for him.
