Summary
1500 years ago, Ganon won. Unbeknownst to most of the population of Hyrule, the Demon still rules.
Now completed! Part 16 is bonus material.Quick FYI on this story: it was written in 2006-2007, well before the release of Skyward Sword and Hyrule Historia, and therefore well before the canon timeline was released, or most of the official lore. I made up my own timeline for it, which incorporated pretty much all the games.
The whole Demise’s curse on the Spirit of the Hero and Hylia’s bloodline was also not a thing yet. Link was newly said to be reincarnating, that’s all we got. I assumed both Link and Zelda were reincarnating.
Thank you for reading this antique. I hope you enjoy it even if a lot of it doesn’t match the now available lore.

Summary
Link knows he will eventually have to face Demise's Curse, and has been training obsessively for 11 years in preparation. Even armies of monsters aren't much of a threat anymore.
But when the Master Sword is cursed so badly it can't even be put to rest, and people are being attacked by monsters all over Hyrule, despite the fact there doesn't seem to be any monsters roaming around for the Hero to fight, and with part of the population being more hindrance than help because they don't believe in either the Hero nor the Princess, Link and Zelda find themselves faced with nothing but unsolvable problems and very little to go on. And the Enemy has more unpleasant surprises in store yet...

Summary
The planet of Hyrule has known peace for decades. Princess Zelda has watched Link, her best friend and general of the Hylian army, explore neighboring planets, lead diplomatic missions, and defend their planet against possible attacks for years.
But when a strange moon appears in the Hylian skies, shining with hostile light, Zelda is the first to volunteer to investigate. Link and his right hand man, Ganondorf, enlist their services alongside her. As the team begins to study the strange moon, they soon discover that it is filled not only with fearsome monsters, but an ancient evil that seems to call to the spirits of each one of them. Will they be able to neutralize the threat to protect Hyrule, or will the presence of the moon unleash a curse that has lain in wait for generations?

A cycle unbroken. A trio bound by fate. Destiny calling once again. Surely this will be a simple repeat of the same old story of eons ago. Why then can none of the trio hear their respective goddesses calling? Why has the Triforce not been broken and the parts bestowed upon their bearers? There is something severely wrong in Hyrule.

Untold Myths Event: Light & Time, Day 2. Prompt: Lie
Love can be scary. In Link and Zelda's case, things are further complicated by everyone around them having a strong opinion on whether or not they should be a couple, from strangers convinced that they simply must be to fit in with historical patterns and legends about the heroes and the princesses, to friends and acquaintances strongly advising against it due to their differences.
Link thought he had the perfect solution in simply shutting down his every thoughts and feelings on the matter, but when Zelda herself starts bringing up the subject, the time for avoidance quickly runs out. Perhaps it's time to face yet another fear...Series
