Summary
There’s no such thing as a female soldier.
Link knows this—it’s been ingrained into her for years. Yet, she still practices her swings out in the forest, away from her family’s eyes, in hopes that one day, she’ll get her chance. She can’t live like this forever, after all.
Hylia answers her in the form of an exchange. Her current life, for her chance at a life worth living. Except that Link has no choice—her heart is ripped out of her chest without a moment of reprieve, and she is tossed by her grief into an entirely unstable unknown. However, it is now all that she has.
As a soldier, Link is revered. She progresses quickly under the pretense that she is a man, and her disguise is good enough to fool even the king, so long as she dare not speak. Eventually, she is assigned to protect Princess Zelda as her personal knight, who is also fooled.
Link would like to keep it that way, as well, if only she could stop the ache in her heart. The one that asks for more, more, more. The one that screams yes, yes, yes whenever she gets close to the princess. The one that’s going to get her killed. All for love, though she thought she'd never love again.

Summary
Zelda me mira con asombro. Yo imagino la forma concreta de la información que acabo de darle: Una escultura de metal puntiaguda y abstracta que, se mire por donde se mire, no entra en su cabeza.
—¿No sabes escribir?
Pienso en mi mamá sacando cada grano de arroz de una espiga, y en qué tan posible es que Zelda se haya alimentado de uno de esos granos. Y niego con la cabeza.

Summary
Link was never a man of indulgence. He spent his life in armor, serving a kingdom, a princess, a cause greater than himself. But before the Calamity, he belonged to them—to Rynard’s steady hands, to Levan’s quiet devotion, to the small home they built beyond the castle walls. Now, a hundred years later, he has returned. Scarred. Changed. The world has moved on without him. Will the gods grant him back the men he once loved? Can he reclaim what was lost? Or is the past meant to stay buried beneath the ruins of Hyrule?

Summary
Link survived by the skin of his teeth. He clawed his way out of the Shrine just three days after he’d been placed there, too broken and mangled to fight, but determined enough to survive. It was only thanks to the Triforce of Courage—something he’d gained the same moment Zelda gained her Triforce of Wisdom—that he was even breathing. It was there, on the Great Plateau, that he got his first view of the ruined world—a fallen kingdom.
