The Descendants of the Hero
What once was a blossoming kingdom ruled by the princess is now a lost world. All that remained of her castle is the ruins holding the spirits of the dead. The influence and power of the royal family was destroyed by the incursion of dark forces. They ravaged Hyrule for many years after their first attack upon the princess's castle. They were relentless until the darkness was pulled back by the master of the shadows. What is left of the world is consumed by nature, returning to the natural before the kingdom's time. Now Hyrule is no more a kingdom than a land of scattered villages across the vast expanse of forests, deserts, islands, and mountains.
But that makes it no less dangerous to fish in the rivers, stroll in the forests, or swim in the lakes of Hyrule. In broad day light monsters and the creatures of shadows appear in great number, hungry for the flesh of people. However, those with courage know that fear is your greatest enemy in this world. The brave are the links connecting the survivors together. This mighty band of young men are the descendants of that man, the Hero of Old.
Who are these descendants?
Each of them has a claim of heritage proven by their inheritance. But, one must wonder why each descendant is different as they are neither sibling or cousins. One must consider who the Hero of Old wed. Many consider the princess was his bride while others say he returned home to marry a life long friend. But the exotic claims of the Zora, Goron, and Twili prove that this can't quiet be proven since both the records and the people of old were lost to the darkness.
However, as much as these descendants squabble about the proper family tree, they share the hero's unyielding courage as well as one of his items. Some carry a mask or weapon while others know a magic spell. In every case the Hero had once used this item to combat the evil of the shadows.
Each of them has vowed to protect the people of this world from the darkness that still swings in the trees of the forest, swims in the lakes and rivers, flies in the mountains, and burrows in the desert sands. They are the Heroes of Hyrule.
A Link to all People.
These descendants travel across the world, going from village to village in order to slay the monsters and cure the sickness from the shadows. Their sworn duty is to protect these places and to purge evil from the land. They dream of rebuilding Hyrule and restoring the world to its former glory as a kingdom.. empire.. civilization!
That's why they people trust you and ask you for your help. Right now they are all in need and you've decided you will slay the shadow monsters and prove to the world that you are the true descendant of the Hero of Old.

Stats
There are three stats in this rp used by the GM for framing powers.
- The first is Hearts. You have 3 free points. Each Point is a Heart and a heart allows you to take damage. When they are depleted you'll faint.
- The second is Strength. You have 2 free points. Each Point is used to reduce a foe's Hearts when you attack them with a weapon or an ability. You'll never have to worry about rolling dice but each of your strikes is based on your description so the better you write easier it is to win a battle.
- The last is Magic. You have 1 free point. Each Point is expendable for the use of a single spell. The damage of your spell is equal to your current Magic so spamming it will only weaken the harm. But the best part about Magic is that it can do one of three things depending on the spell.
- Freeze. A foe that is fully frozen cannot move or attack.
- Burn. A foe that is burning will lose 1 heart for 3 turns.
- Confuse. A foe that is confused will harm himself or an ally.
In addition to the 3, 2, and 1 points you also get
2 extra to use! Choose wisely!
Inheritance
The items of the Hero of Old are passed down to you. But what of the item did you obtain?
- Mask. Giving the power of Transformation to the wearer, a mask also gives +2 points to a character.
- Tool. Having various Ranges, weapons give +1 strength when used in the appropriate range. A Bow is Far, A Ball and Chain is Medium, and a Sword is Close.
- Spell. Spells do damage based on your current Magic points but apply an effect: Freeze, Burning or Confuse.
Advancement
Your stats will get better over time through the collection of such things as Heart Containers, Strength Bracelets, and Magical Potions. They are hard to find but using them will make you better than before. But other than stats you may find additional items left behind by the Hero of Old. Techniques taught by various masters of the arts may show you better ways of using your inherited item. In any case advancement is the best way to defeat the monsters.
