It is a time of turmoil in Hyrule. One by one the neighboring kindoms have been swallowed by an unidentifiable darkness. Now there are no safe havens but Castle Town. Refugees pouring in every day, dwindling resources, and the constant reports from all corners of the land of ancient evils reawakening, Queen Zelda can no longer wait for the fabled Hero of the old stories. It is clear he is not coming... And even stranger... among the many incoming refugees are Gerudo's, including their current king, a kind-hearted man who couldn't be anything like Ganondorf's incarnation... It would seem just as her world had learned to plan for and understand the cycle, the Goddesses have taken it away. Now... Something else is rising... Now being truly unable to rely upon the cycle of the Goddesses, Zelda uses her own power to call upon the identities of those known as sage. And using the very last of her magic and the legendary four-sword, creates into being a fairy unlike any of her kind. One whose soul can split into many. And so the fairy flew off in many different directions to find the new saviors of the land and bring them to the castle... We can only hope they will make it in time... --- Throughout the History of our noble land of Hyrule, there have been hundred's of years during which one of the Hero's incarnations do not arise to meet the challenges presented by the Evil in our land. And this is a story of one of those times. Villains once deep in slumber are being awoken by some dark force, and the only ones capable of stopping it are those bearing the title of "Sage" This doesnt just mean the famous Sage's of time, though! Oh no! The Sage's could spring from anyone, anywhere, at any time. So who are you, great Sage? Where did you come from? What is your name? And do you possess the wisdom, courage, and strength, to work with the many lesser powers of the world and defeat whatever darkness holds its grip over us? This story will represent a convergence point after all of the LOZ timelines, meaning that all LOZ characters are possible and permitted, as well as opening the gate for OC's. I will represent the villains and the world around you, and whoever and whatever you are, whether it is hero, antihero, etc. Is completely up to you. I am introducing a new idea as well. I will be using hiders to give you options in a way. For instance, If you go into a town, you can see the status of the town and the individuals by means of several hiders, which will be updated as the town changes, Allowing you to simply go to the first page and see the differences in whatever town you are currently in, and write your next post based on what you decided to do. This will allow for a more open-world rp and one that does not necessarily require linear progression. While I am not opposed to a Link-like character, Link himself cannot be a character. He has a tendency to become the main focus of LOZ rp's and this is more going to be an exploration of the rest of Hyrule's spectaculars instead. If I get enough buzz on this interest check in the next two days, I will spend the next five days writing the first section of the world into existence, allowing you guys to play through that while I write the next few sections. Welcome to Hyrule. This is your home. Shouldnt you be able to live in it? --- Quick note. The NPC's are allowed to be controlled by the players using your best judgement and the following set of rules... 1.The NPC always says what it has to say first. 2. You cannot befriend, trick, or threaten an NPC into giving you a purchasable item. 3. The NPC cannot leave the spot it was found in. 4. You cannot affect the NPC in a way that would change its interactions with another player. You may post an intention to, which I will confirm or deny depending on if you've given them the right item etc. etc. and will update the changes as they happen. Basically after the NPC's scripted message you may converse with it, within reason, as much as you wish! Solve challenges in creative ways if you like too! Even if its not the answer I was looking for, If it fits, I will award you the success! The idea I'm trying to get across is, you can basically do as you please. Everything you wanted to do in this world but couldn't before is now possible! Have fun with it! Enjoy all your different options! And of course I don't expect you to do everything and write a book on it for every post! You can pick and choose what you do, and read all the options as you see fit! But remember that only interactions you write about will have an effect on the world! feel free to meet up with and talk to the other sages too before your meeting! They should be easy to spot since they will have the blue fairy floating around them! Have fun! I will add more locations as I go!

I know not every thing is aligned with the new formatting, but I will fix that in the OOC&IC

Here I am, to continue this RP!

Good to hear from you Zarkun! Now we just have to keep this bumping til the loz fans swing across it.

I'm a little confused about how this will run, do you mind if I lurk for a few posts once it starts? That way I can understand it a little better and it should help me form my decision on whether or not I should join.

I think I might actually be able to start this RP, again! Also, Kin, there's a link to the previous RP in my sig if you want to check it out.

Oh! I like how it flowed. I would like to join please ^_^

I am also interested in continuing this.

Wasn't involved in the last one, but I'm interested!

That's five! awesome! If another wants to join I think we can make room for it. Now the only thing I need to know from the old crew is... Do you guys want to continue from where you were, or do you want to start over. Some of the recently established storyline (Such as the Race of the Constellations) will have to be altered to fit, as the sages may or may not any longer fit the sage identity they previously had. For my newcomers, I urge you to take a look at the Original OOC and IC. They are in Thanatos Signature above.

Alright, read up on the previous thread and have a feel for how things are going to go. I'd be fine if it picked up where it last left off as long as it wouldn't be too awkward to introduce a new character/retcon old ones. Though, wouldn't you have more success posting this in the relevant IC board (Which I assume is casual, right?)?

I might be interested in joining.

Could I play as a female wizzrobe?

Well damn, I was planning on making a wizzrobe character when the OOC went up. The toucan kind or the black mage kind?

Black mage, although she'd look more human-looking.

Would look like this:

[@Set it]@Red Helix The wizrobe is fine and I don't bother with classifying it. It's pretty advanced as far as a roleplay goes, but one liners are likely going to be a necessity for this and I don't like having people freak over it. (It's happened.) Imma link the OOC and we will discuss what we want to do from there. http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/71539-legend-of-zelda-links-slumber/ic

Ah, wanted to use the toucan people from WW. What do you say, Noire?
