There are only a few Slates like the Shiekah slate in Lorule and all of them are closely watched by the royal family. The only guardians outside of the labyrinth are the turret-like ones, so they are not able to move around if they happen to malfunction. The hero and the princess did not have guardians or divine beasts to help weaken the Calamity, which is what ultimately led to their Pyrrhic victory, but they were invented later in order to protect cities and to roam the Labyrinth of the Sword. Where Hyrule’s technology was built by the Shiekah, Lorule’s technology was built by many parties out of necessity. Second, the places of technology and magic in Lorule.īecause the princess’ sacred magic was lost, magic is a far less prevalent force in Lorule. By the time of the events in my story, Lorule is falling apart more rapidly and would not last much longer - thus Hilda’s desperation for truly lasting solutions. Over time, Lorule began crumbling because the Calamity was slowly spreading through the earth itself and gaining strength that would eventually overpower the Master Sword, and the only thing connecting the various regions are mechanical bridges that would slowly extend as the gaps grew larger and larger. They built a huge labyrinth around the sword - kinda like the labyrinths in Hyrule except its where the Lost Woods is in Hyrule - in order to dissuade anyone from trying to draw it again. So after that, Lorule had to turn to developing their technology as a defense. They effectively lost both sacred powers in Lorule because the sword could not be drawn again without releasing the Calamity again, and then they would be fully unable to defeat it. The risk of that happening came when the hero was near-fatally wounded and unable to defend her, and once she had given up her sacred power, the hero took advantage of the Calamity’s enraged confusion to drive the Master Sword through its back and drive it into the earth, effectively trapping it on the battlefield, before succumbing to his injuries and dying.īecause the princess didn’t have the power that would allow it to be fully banished from Lorule, they neither succeeded nor truly failed. Since the whole point of A Link between Worlds is that Lorule’s triforce was destroyed but in Breath of the Wild, it only really manifests in the princess’ sacred power, I made it so the princess decided to give up that power rather than allow Lorule’s Calamity to claim it from her.

So I’ve recently written a fanfic titled “Wait for Me,” and I wasn’t able to find a place to include all of the ideas that I have for the AU in the fic, so I figured that I should make a post that includes all of the little things that I couldn’t fully explain.įirst, the background of Lorule’s heroic legend.
