"Starlight get back in here!" Trixie called out. This room held within it Heart, Trixie, and Starlight, the trio was an oddball, and made up three of the twenty pieces of Kingdom Hearts. Trixie and Heart were well accustomed to one another having shared a body long before the fusion and later marriage fusion allowing them individual bodies thanks to Starfish Clones. Starlight however was always rather distant, the fusion revealed many truths to her, and even before, hardships befell her. Hence her ever persistent need to stand on the balcony while it rained.

"Fine…" Starlight huffed as she walked back in.

"Seriously Starlight, you'll catch a cold or something doing that."

"We're Admins, we don't catch colds unless we want to." Starlight countered.

"Yeah well, first time for everything."

"I will swallow the both of you, again, if you don't stop bickering." Heart huffed from the bed, a switch in their hands and the sounds of Breath of the Wild coming from the device speakers.

"Swallow her, not me!" Trixie barked.

"I wouldn't care or mind." Starlight sighed.

"Trixie if you really wanna keep Starlight close and not always in the rain, or shower, or just moping around then you swallow her." Heart argued.

"I'm not a Naga!"

"That has stopped literally no one else in this family, lest you forget we all share abilities we just have to unlock them."

"How come you just don't call it Vore?" Starlight asked.

"This isn't a majority porn story. Majority lewd yes but not all porn. Things like Swallowing or us all being herms and such is just to show how things seen as fetish or erotic basically become normal when in daily life." Heart said.

"... Since when did you start breaking the fourth wall?" Trixie asked.

"Since I started actually liking myself and my life." Heart said, pausing their game. "Okay, game groove is ruined so, Starlight, wanna tell us how those Therapy sessions are going? Cause from where Trixie and I stand it's looking kinda… not good."

Starlight sighed, jumping into the couch and laying on it. "I mean, compared to before at least I talk now."

"Sometimes." Trixie grumbled.

"But I still know all those deaths that day are my fault. And in so many other versions of what I was doing it was all so… so bad. So horrible."

"Hm. So for all the bad you and the other versions of you did, you feel like you shouldn't try to be happy or find enjoyment?" Heart asked.

"Well, yeah that sounds about right."

"Then why don't you go out there and help someone or something?" Trixie asked.

"Like?" Starlight asked.

"Helping the front lines is one. Fixing issues with other worlds not yet a part of this world are one, or even just public appearances. You'd be surprised how just seeing one of us royals out on the streets makes people happy." Heart said.

"But that doesn't really help people. At least the appearance of one anyway."

"Helps morale among the citizens and keeps peace of mind." Trixie countered. "Look, how about to get you more out of this funk we go traveling. See this world and why we are Fighting for it, the people we are Fighting for."

“Alright, so that gives me way too many places to look.” Starlight frowned.

"Arguably yes… so, where do we start is the real question." Heart asked.

"You both know the place more than me, where do you think I should start?"

"Hmm…" Heart pondered, then looked at their Switch. "I think I have an idea." They said, smiling now.

"What's the place?" She inquired.

"Hyrule, Breath of the Wild version."

In a flash of brights lights, a dark and humid tomb was shown light as a DTL opened within it. Out came Heart, Trixie and following behind was Starlight. "Isn't this the starting place?" Trixie asked.

"Yup." Heart said with a nod.

“Starting off at square one huh?” Starlight asked. “But what are we doing here?”

"Well, this is one of many versions of this world that is different. And the difference here is…" Heart slammed the large pod nearby, the device opening up, revealing a Hylian skeleton in the liquid. "Yeah this thing didn't work…"

"Gross…" Trixie said.

“So this world is fucked if my knowledge of Legend of Zelda is anything to go by.” She said honestly. “Or has the hero been reincarnated yet?”

"No, but that is where you come in." Heart said, pointing to Starlight. "You are gonna resurrect them, and then help them on their journey."

"Wait, so what are we gonna do?" Trixie asked.

"Watch and give support." Heart said.

“Alrighty then.” She nodded while starting to use her magic. “Hopefully I can do this correctly.” She said while her horn glowed with Nothingness and Kingdom Hearts light to try and resurrect the Hero.

The skeleton was wrapped in Nothingness, flesh and life returning to the bones as it's soup did as well, and in a flash of blue light so did their heart. Link was alive again, still sleeping and would awaken soon. "Perfect. Now remember, we are gonna be watching Starlight, and if you need help just call." Heart said.

Starlight turned to where they and Trixie were, and they were gone.

“And then they leave without telling me what I’m supposed to do…” Starlight grumbled. “Yeah, put the world back in order by bringing the hero back, job well done…now what?”

"Ugh." Turning back, Starlight saw Link begin to stir and wake up. Link spotted Her, surprised. "Who… where are we?" They asked.

Amnesia, that's consistent at least. Starlight thought.

“Uh, hi.” She started. “Welcome to the waking world. What do you remember?”

"Uhhm… Not much. My name is… Link, I think… but… I can't recall much else." Link said, climbing out of the pod chamber. "Who are you?"

“I’m Starlight Glimmer.” She introduced herself. “So, you’ve been asleep for...a while now.”

"How long? And where are we?" Link asked, looking around.

“No idea and no idea.” Starlight sighed out. ”Maybe a super convenient plot voice will give us some advice.” Starlight thought to herself.

As Link looked around, they spotted the small pedestal, atop it a device. Walking over, he saw as a rune covered stone above it began to glow, a liquid of some sort formed a single stop at the bottom, falling and splashing onto the device, which lit up with a glow of it's own. The door before them opened and the device flipped around and lifted upward, letting Link take it.

"Well, I suppose it's that way to leave." Starlight said simply.

"Looks like." Link said, taking the device aa they Starlight walked out of the damp cave like area.

When the two emerged, sunlight was peaking over the horizon, light filling the sky all around as the dawn emerged. It was a lovely sight. "Woah." Link said, looking around.

“It is pretty.” She said honestly.

As the two looked around, down the hill they emerged from was a small camp of sorts, a large elderly man sat next to a campfire. "Who's that?" Link wondered as he and Starlight walked down the hill.

“No idea, let’s ask.” Starlight said while walking over to the elder. “Hello?”

"Ho. Hello there. My two strangers walk to this old man's camp, and out of a sealed cave that's been locked for years. The things you see when you get to live old. I imagine you must be hungry. Please, take a roasted apple." The old man said, motioning to the several apples roared a golden brown on sticks.

“Thank you.” Starlight nodded as she picked up one of the apples with her magic, just to make sure it wasn’t anything but a roasted apple.

Once she did, she took a bite, the Apple's natural sugars and flavors roasted in this way reminded her a lot of apple pie. "Pardon me, but is that a sheikah slate you have there?" The old man asked.

Link looked to the device strapped to his pants loop. "I guess. I don't know what it's called. I just woke up and this thing, and Starlight here were with me in this sealed room."

"I see, and you, Starlight. In all my years I've never seen a creature quite like you. How did you get inside this sealed chamber?"

“Um...magic?” Starlight asked nervously.

"Magic eh? Heh, not many can use magic so free and wildly these days. In any case, so, do you know what a sheikah slate does my boy?"

"No." Link said with a sight, then remembered. "It uh, opens doors?"

Psst, I can do that just by touching them. Anything with a lock, magic or physical. Starlight thought to Herself.

"Yes, and much more. There is an old ruin nearby that I think your sheikah slate can wake up from it's one hundred year slumber. You can't miss it, just right around here."

“So we’re going treasure hunting now?” Starlight inquired.

The old man laughed. "I'd like to go myself but at my age these old bones can barely take the cold, let alone a climb and a long walk."

“So where are we?” Starlight asked curiously.

"This land is known as Hyrule. The area we are in is known as the Hyrule Ridge."

“Cool.” Starlight nodded. “Everything looks so nice and peaceful.” She said, even though her new instincts told her that massive things were going horribly wrong.

"In the daylight hours, yes, mostly. Night brings it's own terrors and monsters roam the lands guarding roads and many things of the like. Travel is a dangerous thing, but necessary if one is to live."

“Is there anyone else out here?” Starlight asked curiously. “This seems like a lot of open land not taken by anyone...I don’t see a town at all.”

"It's just me up here on the ridge. Myself, the ruins, and the monsters and wildlife up here. Not many can climb the ridge side and those who can are far off with their own problems."

“That’s...not good.” Starlight said nervously.

"No, it's not." Link said, eating their roasted apple, listening more than talking.

"No, but this ridge hasn't been home to anyone long before the great calamity one hundred years ago, so it's not so tragic." The old man said.

"Land sure heals quick for a ‘Great Calamity’, even if it was a hundred years.” She said honestly.

"It was not the land that was harmed, more, it was it's people." The old man said, now looking into the fire. "Thousands of years ago, a great demon rose from the depths of the darkness, Calamity Gannon. Our ancestors created machines and weapons to fend the demon off. Of these, four great, Divine beasts were crafted, and with them, four champions and a hero wielding a sword that can deal away darkness, Gannon was defeated. One hundred years ago, the Princess of Hyrule, Zelda, discovered a prophecy that told of Gammon's return. The first sign had already appeared, the Divine beasts were unearthed from their thousand year slumber. She found four new champions to stop the calamity, and a hero to wield the sword that seals the darkness."

"They lost." Link said absentmindedly.

The old man nodded. "They lost, one thing was missing. Princess Zelda held within her bloodline the power of the TriForce, the final piece needed to slay or seal Gannon for good. She did not unlock this power, until it was almost too late." The old man looked to the horizon. The others did too, in the distance, a massive castle swirling with darkness and evil stood. "That is Hyrule Castle, in all it's ruined glory, and prison to Calamity Gannon, and, the Princess."

”So that’s why…” She thought to herself. “So what? To save the world just kill the massive thing?”

"Only the champion can slay Gannon, and they have likely left this world. This is why I ask you to test your sheikah slate, if it awakens the ruins nearby, then it is the same as that Hylian champion. If you are up for it, then maybe you can pick up that mantle."

"I will." Link said, no thought or questions in mind.

“Alright.” Starlight nodded. “So, where are these ruins you talked about?”

"Follow the road down that way and look for a structure half buried in rocks and inside is a pedestal with a rune covered stone hanging above it. It's got a perfect fitting for a sheikah slate to be inserted."

“Alright.” She nodded. “Thank you...uh, I’m sorry, what’s your name?”

"Oh, just call me Gramps. It would be nice to hear that from someone. I'm certainly old enough for it." With that, he gave a hearty, yet sad laugh.

“Alright Gramps.” Starlight nodded. “Come on Link, let’s get going to the Ruins.”

Once the two finished eating they made their way down the road and over to the ruins. Along the way two red creatures, Moblins, the two learned, attacked them. Using a wood cutters axe borrowed from the elderly man, Link swung. The creature was not sliced in half, rather knocked aside as Starlight used her magic to levitate the other, keeping it harmlessly at Bay.

“Jeez, this is almost too easy.” She chuckled as the thing kept trying to reach her but couldn’t.

She watched as Link delivered another hit to the still moving Moblin. She was surprised, seeing it's body fall limp, become covered in this dark ooze, not quite darkness but close. In a poof of smoke, the body was gone, leaving a small pile of various body parts. Mostly bones. "So, you gonna…?" Link asked, motioning to floating Moblin.

“Oh, sorry.” She said while using a bit of her magic as Link saw the aura around it glow a little brighter around its head as she broke its neck. “And done.”

Like the one Link killed, it too poofed into a small pile of bones and this time no guts.

The two continued on, finding the ruins. Climbing inside the rocky ruins they were met with a podium and hanging rune covered rock much like from within the chamber, and Link placed the sheikah slate onto it. There was a rumble. "Uhh…" Link questioned.

“I hope that means it worked.” She said nervously while looking towards the rune covered rock.

Suddenly, the rocks around them broke, the rubble flying off, revealing a covered stage where two long large arms raised from the sides to the head, and suddenly, the whole stage raised up high into the sky. The tower glowed to life with blue energy, and soon the rune stone above the podium glowed, dropping a glow of blue liquid data as it fell into sheikah slate. The screen glowed, showing a new area, a map of sorts appearing as a new area lit up from the largely black. It showed the landscapes, rivers, Forrest, everything from the general area.

“Huh...that’s interesting.” She said honestly.

The sheikah slate popped open, ready for Link to take it. He did. "Ho. Impressive." Turning, the two saw the elderly man atop the sudden tower nearby them. "So it is the same sheikah slate."

“You know, for an old man you certainly got here quick.” Starlight pointed out.

"I haven't lived as long as I have without learning a trick or two." He said with pride. "In any case, I was right. This was a region tower, a relic well before the great calamity. A relic from our ancestors."

“Fascinating.” Starlight said while looking over the watch tower carefully to see all it’s inner workings.

"There is a task I have for you." The elder asked.

"What?" Link asked.

"There are more ruins around, shrines, locked and the key to opening them is a sheikah slate, I've heard legends say they hold treasures. Mind fetching them for me?"

“Sure, seems simple enough.” She said honestly.

"What kind of treasures are there?" Link asked.

"No idea." The elderly man said.

“Well, looks like we’ll have to find out for ourselves.” Starlight said simply.

"Where are these shrines?" Link asked.

"Hm." The old man said, looking around. "Your sheikah slate, it has its map feature. And a camera. From here you should be able to see the shrines, stone glowing with an orange light. If you wait til night they will be far easier to find. Or, look for them now. There are four in the general area here but they dot all of Hyrule all from shore to shore."

“Oh boy, that sounds like a lot of searching for stuff.” The unicorn said honestly.

"Sounds like fun." Link said with a smile.

“I’m sure it will.” Starlight said simply. “So, where’s the closest shrine?” She wondered while looking at the map that was still displayed.

Four shrines, each set along very different areas from each other, a long distance from one another. The higher up mountain area was freezing cold. While Starlight felt no cold due to her newfound resistance, Link could not say the same. Thankfully a quicky chopped tree, a touch and a few pieces of flint got Link to and from that shrine high up in the cold. They each had trials. Puzzles, combat, often a mix of both. Weapons Link found either from the various Moblins roaming about or within the shrines themselves. These shrines also gave upgrades into Links sheikah slate. A magnet, bombs, square and round oddly, make small ice pillars on anybody if water, no matter how small or thin, and a sorta time freeze that locks a large object In place so Link can hit it so many times, and therefore send it flying.

“Looks like these shrines are a lot more useful than I first thought.” Starlight hummed. “New abilities and let’s you get stronger...wonder if these will help you remember as well…” The unicorn hummed to herself curiously.

"Maybe." Link said in wonder. He also had clothes, a simple shirt and shorts but it was better than just their under shorts.

“Have you remembered anything yet if I may ask?” She brought up.

"Nope." Link said with a sigh.

“Alright.” Starlight nodded. “Well, I’m sure you’ll figure out your past...hopefully.” She said nervously, having a bad feeling that he won’t ever remember given he stayed dead for god knows how long.

"Well, what are these then?" Link asked, holding four small black grey orbs that had a symbol of wings spread out. The orbs, as far as Starlight could tell, were pure life energy. Uncommon as this energy would normally be collected through Necromantic means yet these orbs held or showed no signs of having been harvested with dark magic. Rather it was more likely gifted by a god of some kind.

“Well we got them from those ancient people…” She hummed. “I suppose they would be...whatever life essence they had left to make you stronger...either that or a god is helping you.” She shrugged.

"Goddess." Link said, blinking at the surprise knowledge. "Hyrule… has a Goddess. Heh, well that's something I remember at least. Aside from fighting, Don't remember learning where to fight though."

“Well you were in a tomb of some sort, so you must have been highly regarded with the ruling people.” Starlight pointed out.

"Maybe… where is that old guy?" Link asked, looking around the old church where he said to meet them. There in the back stood a weathered yet standing statue of Hyrule's goddess. There were no fine details, and the statue glowed with a holy light. "Oh… don't think I've ever seen that before."

“Well it’s certainly glowing like someone’s there.” Starlight brought up. “Hello?”

There was no audible voice, but one echoed inside Starlight and Link's head. And Starlight nearly face hoofed at hearing the ever familiar voice of Trixie speak.

Keeping her internal groaning internal, Link gave the statue the four orbs, and was rewarded with four gold and red heart containers he absorbed. "Normally it's four orbs for one heart or stamina container. Yeah I hated that so one for one." Heart's voice said to her through their link.

”Why am I not surprised you two are the goddess here?” Starlight mentally asked Heart.

"Well, not originally. There was a different Goddess here but she's actually already a part of the family so when Trixie and I found out we asked her to step in the sorta role here for it and she agreed. Trixie does the voice when turning in spirit orbs and such and I will basically help in other ways." Heart replied.

”Well that’s not going to get awkward when I figure out the religion here.” Starlight mentally told him.

When the light faded, "Ho!" Looking up, Link and Starlight saw the old man, standing above high on the still standing bell tower of the church. "Up here you two." He called down to them.

"How did you get up there?" Link asked in surprise.

"I made an updraft. Set a small patch of tall grass ablaze and the heat makes up updraft strong enough you can ride it with a glider. It's how I get around so fast."

Link and Starlight exchanged a look. "Huh. Old and smart. Guess those do go hand in hand." Link said with a shrug.

“You’d be surprised how true certain sayings are.” Starlight said honestly. “So how have you been Gramps?”

"Well. Better than I have in years. Get on up here, I have a reward for ya both."

The climb up was simple, and once there Link and Starlight saw the old man looking out the bell tower window. The twisted black prison of Hyrule Castle in the distance. "Starlight, Link, you two have arrived at grand time. Though, Starlight, your arrival has been unexpected, but very much welcome all the same. I can tell you have a power within you, much like, or even stronger than Link here."

“I’m not that strong.” Starlight said humbly, needing to thank King for teaching her how to hide her powers which could involve bench pressing planets.

"In any case, I feel I must tell you both something you two should know, but Link especially." The elderly man said, removing his cloak. There was a blinding white light and when Starlight and Link blinked, the elderly man looked larger, adorned with royal attire and a crown atop his head, befitting a king. His body glowed with ethereal blue light and Starlight realized she was looking at a ghost, a soul keeping itself within the land of the living, but this specter held no anger. "I am, no, I was King Rhoam. Link, you were once the personal guard and champion of Hyrule who wielded the sword that seals away darkness. A hundred years ago, we failed, despite the preparation and effort Gannon won and to this day my daughter, using the power of her bloodline to keep the full force of Gannon at Bay. Link, you must regain your strength, free the Divine beasts and save princess Zelda, my daughter, and your charge. And save all of Hyrule and the world."

“No wonder why you knew so much...you're a Lingering Will” Starlight said honestly. “Is there anyone else out there who can help us?”

"Me? The…" Link pondered, looking around in worry. "I… I don't remember any of this… but I will try." Link said.

"Thank you, Link." Rhoam said with a nod. "As for your question Starlight, the only ones who can are the four champions, but like me, they have all died at Gannon's hand. Free their Divine beasts, and their wills can help you land a devastating blow to Gannon when the time comes to face them."

An idea formed in Starlight's head. The soul is here. He just needs the body, and his heart. Both easily available to her. She would be damned if this old man could not hug his daughter when she was saved.

“Alright King, now don’t panic.” Starlight said as her horn started to light up. “I’ve done this before once.” She said while starting to bring the king back to life with her powers like she did with Link.

Starlight sent a blast of Balance and Nothingness at the ghost. There was a surge of light as the form of the old king became a light silhouette and then faded. Much as he appeared as a ghost was back as living. "Woah…" Link said.

"By the… goddess." The king said, looking at himself then to Starlight. He was plain, then smiled. "Seems there is always something new to discover no matter how old you get."

“Yeah, there’s no way I’m going to just let you not be able to hug your daughter after we kick Gannon’s ass.” Starlight stated.

"I thank you kindly Starlight. As old as I may be I believe I can give something to these efforts."

“I mean, besides having the ruler of an entire Kingdom come back to life, spurring his people to start fighting against the darkness plaguing their land and bringing other kingdom’s into an open revolt against those that would see this beautiful land destroyed?” Starlight asked.

"Hyrule is one land yes but aside from Hyrulians are just one race, one of five. Each their own kingdom. Maybe some of the old rulers there were still alive, if so odds are good. Meaning only the Gerudo would be an issue."

“Gerudo?” Starlight asked curiously. “Who are they?”

"Race of desert dwelling warriors. All female, mostly. Once or twice a generation one will be born male, but that's rare. No males are allowed in their city walls, once any male children born to the tribe are adults they must leave. Hardly they ever locate far from their home, or even the desert. It's nothing personal, they are strong with tradition and pride."

“They should probably change that…” She said nervously. “Especially given the current circumstances.”

"That's doubtful to change. You can't undo a traditional lifestyle as there's with just words. But, we'll cross that bridge when we get there." The king said with a sigh. "Come now, we must prepare."

"For?" Link asked.

"I'll need to make two more gliders, plus gather weapons and food for the trip."

Starlight thought for a moment. Keyblade them now or later? That was her question.

“You don’t need to make me a glider.” She said while her hooves softly glowed as she started to levitate. “Also uh...do you want to have something important now or later? Like...really important?”

The two looked at one another. "What is it?" Link asked.

“It would be...this.” She sighed out while a Keyblade, Diamond Dust, started to float near her. “Have either of you heard of a ‘Keyblade’?”

"Key...blade?" Link asked.

"Hmm. I am unsure. Sadly all and any records of mystical weapons and such were in the castle and, well, it's unlikely anything in there aside from my daughter and Gannon is in there." The king said.

“Alright.” She nodded. “So I can give you these weapons, they are magical weapons that can lock or unlock anything, it’s magic so you can use spells with it, and it’s unbreakable.” She said honestly.

“Really?” The king asked in surprise.

”Well, they can break but it takes a lot to break a Keyblade.”

“Pretty much yeah.” Starlight said honestly. “But these can break actually, just under such asinine circumstances that it might as well be unbreakable.” She said simply. “So you two want one?”

“Sure. Would be better than Moblin weapons.” Link said.

Over the next few days Starlight began teaching the old king and young knight about keyblades. Link learned quickly. The king was good at spell casting but had a low mana reserve. As such Link received Kingdom Key, and the king received, fitting enough, Royal Radiance.

“Alright you two, how do you feel with your new companions?” Starlight asked the four of them, given that she’s part Kingdom Hearts, she can understand Keyblades.

“It feels… natural.” Link said.

“I can tell there are still so many secrets and abilities it holds. I doubt one can unlock them all in a single lifetime.” The king said. Starlight nodded, taking note how the king's keyblade was larger than it’s default size. She always thought that was a neat ability the keyblades did to be perfect size for their wielders.

“Alright, so where to first?” Starlight asked curiously.

"The nearest village is Kakariko Village. It's mountain location left it largely untouched by the calamity. The road there won't be easy though." The king said.

"Gliders." Link reminded.

That made the king give a laugh. "I can hear Revali turning in his grave."

“So start flying off to Kakariko Village?” She asked curiously.

"Yes. Hmm… hopefully there is someone still there who can help us. I doubt even after all these years she's dead." The king muttered in thought.

“Who’s dead?” Starlight asked nervously.

"Not dead. Preferably. Impa. A friend of Link's from before. She was young back then so odds are if she is alive still she's over a hundred years old and knows exactly what must be done."

"You don't know what to do?" Link asked.

"I lived shortly after the calamity began then roamed the ridge til you emerged to aid you. Only maybe… three people ever explored the ridge in those hundred years and they just hunted and gathered." The king replied.

“Hmm…” Starlight hummed while summoning her Glider. “Well, we won’t get answers just by sitting around now will we?”

With gliders out the trio flew overhead. Stopping only when Link's sheikah slate lit up, detecting a new shrine and letting Link enter to clear it. On the way Link found two and arrived in Kakariko village. There was also a shrine there which Link cleared. Looking around Link pondered. "Do we have any money?" Link asked.

This is cheating and I don't care. Starlight thought with a smile, pondering if this world still uses Rupees or Rem. “Question, what currency do people use?” Starlight asked curiously.

"Don't know. Before the calamity it was Rupees, not sure if that changed." The king wondered.

It's Rem. Cript did a thing for me to shift that… among other things. Heart said.

”And what are those ‘among other things’?” Starlight mentally asked Heart while using her magic to bring out a humble looking coin bag. “So how much money do you want?”

Shadow Creatures, more mini bosses. Apparently he wants to test you as well as this world and such. There are some fights he said only you can do so, careful. Also Dungeons… like, Dungeons we deal with dungeons all themed like, well, Zelda stuff. They are obsessed with dungeons. Heart replied.

"How much can you spare? Or have?" Link asked.

“Now that is...a difficult thing to answer, but what I can tell you.” She said while opening the back and turning it upside down to start a cascade of Rem to dump out of it. “Is Yes.”

The town was happy, beyond happy for the flux in business. Shortly after buying everything in the stores, Link got a proper set of armor. A good with cloak, traveling vest and leggings with boots. Then they met with Impa. The elderly woman was thin as bones, but clearly still living on and likely had a fair amount of years left in her. "Link? Is that you?" She asked, looking at him, then turning to the king. "My word… my king… how? Link I can see but… my king, I saw you die in the castle that day. I saw your corpse." She said shakily.

“Sup.” Starlight said while trotting up. “My name is Starlight Glimmer Elder.” She said with a polite bow to her elder.

"My word… a unicorn before my eyes. Heh, either I've died or I've lost my mind finally." Impa said.

"This is not the afterlife, nor an illusion of your mind Impa." The king said, walking up to and kneeling down to her. "This is life. Starlight here is a gift from the goddess to aid us in Calamity Gannon's defeat."

That's actually a pretty good cover story. Heart said with surprise.

“And right now, we need all hands on deck.” Starlight said honestly. “I’m here to bring back the heroes of old to fight back against the growing threat to this world, either from the Afterlife, or from the ravages of Time.” Starlight said simply. “Gramps here talked quite a bit about you and your past exploits Elder Impa.”

"Oh, heh. Back then I was in training still. Sadly after the calamity I spent many years fending off the Yiga Clan…" Tone in her voice at this clan was like venom, and the King himself looked enraged by the name.

"Those snakes still slither." He said with anger.

“Who are the Yiga? And I suppose they aren’t willing to talk?” Starlight asked curiously, Impa getting a feeling that from the unicorns' more colorful looks that peaceful solutions were more applicable where she came from.

Impa sighed. Clearly the topic pained her. "Once, this village was twice its size. Then, there was a… differing of opinion. The discovery of the prophecy split the people. Many wanted to arm against it, others wanted to embrace it. They took the skills and style of combat this village had taught for untold years and turned them into a means to kill and slay. The result was the Yiga clan, a clan of assassins that don't just kill, but kill in the name of Calamity Gannon. They are, or at least have a strong hand in his resurrection. The night of the calamity, they killed along with Gannon. Set the land itself on fire across all of Hyrule in one night they killed thousands, and for ten long years would terrorize and kill as they wanted. These days they still kill but only when targeting caravans along the roads."

“So how much do you want to kill them for helping cause all of this?” Starlight asked curiously.

"Once, I would have said such deaths were deserved. But, many of its current members were born into their way of life, they know nothing else but kill and worship Gannon. Death is more of a mercy for them knowing that."

“That’s...terrible.” The unicorn sighed out sadly. “So...how about my offer?”

"In my old age, I have hatred from memories and experiences but I know better than to act on them. All I can say is that who you come across, a Yiga, deal with them as you see fit."

“And if I can give you back your youth to fight once again?” Starlight asked curiously.

"I'd deny." She said. "I've lived, I've loved, I've had my life. I have no desire to extend it. Besides, I can't leave to fight. As an elder, I am in charge of the village, and I will spend my last years here." She said with a content smile. "Now, it looks like you three have work ahead of you."

“We have a whole lot of work to do.” Starlight said honestly. “Like getting the Four Guardians back under control.”

"Yes." Impa said with a nod.

The rest of the day was spent talking strategy and where to go first.

“Alright, so we have four giant robots, each being a bird, horse, lizard and elephant at practically the four corners of this place…” Starlight said while looking over the Map.

"Camel and yes." The king said. "None will be very easy, however with your resources I believe you can easily enter and complete their puzzle locks to regain control."

"The question is, where to start? We have just the one Sheikah slate." Impa said.

Starlight pondered for a moment. "Say, is there another shrine nearby?" She asked.

"Yes. It's a walk but not too far. Why?"

"I wanna test something." Starlight said, heading out, Link following behind.

It was a walk and a glide to the nearby shrine. Once there Starlight tapped the pedistol. To her own and Link's surprise, it flashed blue, the door opening as Link saw the shrine appear within his Sheikah slate. "So it is just a lock." Starlight said with a smile.

"And this means… what?" Link asked.

"Hopefully, you can be in at least two places at once."
