Summary
The Shrine of Resurrection is Sheikah Tech, like every other great tool they had dug up before Ganon's return. Really, it shouldn't have been a surprise to find it completely nonfunctional, the Calamity's touch evident.
Through every possible scenario and situation, there was one remaining option that the Spirit of the Master Sword estimated could work. Truthfully, it'd be more accurate to say that just made it the only course of action that wasn't calculated to be a guaranteed failure. That didn't mean it was likely. It was just possible.
The Master Sword and the Hero were two halves of the same whole. Partners throughout time, even across different timelines entirely. A duo that was able to persevere together for tens of thousands of years. Through time immemorial. Thus, Fi mused, that would make this a historical event like no other compared to the prior stories of the Heroes of Courage. He, and she too, would be forever changed.

Summary
To say Ganondorf had been 'defeated' would be conceited and stupid. The Demon King had not been defeated. Only stalled.
Wild no longer possessed the Triforce. He was nowhere near as strong as he used to be.
Sky was only able to watch that ethereal child, so vocal in their glee, with a solemn acceptance. Wild had to get stronger. No more timelines or heroes would be destroyed because of his hesitance against Demise. He would ensure it.
By any means necessary.
EDIT (4/28/25): This fic is now discontinued. The prior fic is being rewritten, and will be posted separately.
