    Summary

    Gannon died, but the monsters he summoned didn’t die with him, and a gold-manned lynel decided that he would like to rule over the Sacred Land, gathering an army of monsters and Gannon cultists to his banner. After the devastation of the Calamity and the Upheaval, the remnants of Hyrule were – despite Link’s best efforts – not able to survive this new threat, and the last embers of the Queendom of Hylia were snuffed out.

    In a timeline not yet doomed, King Rhoam decides to take the Royal family to the Temple of Time to pray to Hylia for guidance. He wasn’t expecting Her to respond, much less send a Hero.

    Link, still adjusting to a body that isn’t ruined by guardian blasts and Malice submersion, is determined that this time, Hyrule will stand.
