Nothing was the same after the Great War. Link slowly became everything he despised, and the massacre of the Sheikah tribe forces him to rediscover the secrets of his past that he would sooner forget. The resurgence of the Gerudo king can wait; a more sinister force sweeps the land, driving innocents to radicalization, to murder, and it yearns for the blood of the dark hero.

Vindictive darkness encroaches the land. At its darkest hour, the country needs a symbol of hope, but the boy is merely an imitation. Fate becomes a lie as Hyrule plunges into a devastating war beyond what is good and evil. The story of a hero that cannot fulfill his duty, and a villain who fights for what is just.
