About the adventure
The Hero is dead. The Princess is forgotten. Across a thousand timelines, stories fray like old thread—unfinished, abandoned, or never told at all. You are not the Hero of Time. You are not the Princess of Hyrule. You are a might-have-been—a Rito swordsman who died mid-flight, a Zora queen who drowned her gods, a Gerudo rebel who lost her war before it began. From every corner of the multiverse, the Temple of Time has called you together: not to fulfill prophecy, but to decide whether it still matters. The Triforce is shattered. The gods are silent. The land does not cry for a savior—it no longer believes one will come. But something ancient still stirs beneath Hyrule’s bones. A final echo. A last chance. Will you redeem your lost legend? Or become something new? 🎯 What This Campaign Is 🔸 A level 1–10 Zelda-inspired adventure set after the collapse of time itself 🔸 A mythic, character-driven campaign where each PC is a failed or forgotten alternate-universe Link or Zelda 🔸 A story about second chances, fractured prophecy, and rewriting the meaning of courage and wisdom 🔸 A blend of dark fantasy, mythic exploration, and emotional storytelling 🧭 What You’ll Do 🔹 Awaken in a broken Temple of Time with only echoes of your past and a whisper of purpose 🔹 Travel across a fragmented Hyrule stitched from dying timelines 🔹 Face monsters born from failed stories, challenge the structure of legend, and discover what role you play in a tale with no center 🕯️ What Makes It Special ✴️ You’ll play as a unique version of Link or Zelda—from a timeline where the cycle failed ✴️ Your character’s “death” or erasure is part of your backstory—and part of what drives the journey ✴️ The campaign explores themes of legacy, choice, and the freedom to define your own myth ✴️ Every dungeon, artifact, and region draws from twisted memories of Zelda lore—familiar yet hauntingly altered 🧝 Character Creation 🪶 Use standard D&D 5E ancestries, reflavored to represent Zelda universe races (e.g., Elves as Rito, Tritons as Zora, Tieflings as Sheikah-cursed, etc.) 🪶 Create an alternate-universe Link or Zelda—a version from a timeline where things went wrong 🪶 Your character is not “the chosen one”—you are an echo, a remnant, a final chance 🪶 No Zelda knowledge required—your version of the legend is yours to invent This is a campaign about fractured destinies, the ghosts of unfinished stories, and the power of chosen identity. Will you reclaim your legend? Or will Hyrule forget you again?

Creating your character
🔸 Each player will start by creating a Level 1 character—an alternate-universe incarnation of Link or Zelda. 🔹 It’s optional to prepare characters beforehand; guidance and support will be available on our Discord channel. 🔸 Players will choose races, classes, and backgrounds that reflect their version’s lost timeline, unique fate, and heroic flaws. 🔹 Special attention will be given to each character’s origin, appearance, and tragic or forgotten legacy, which we’ll explore before and during Session 1.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
🔊 Microphone and Headphones Players should use a microphone and headphones in a quiet environment to ensure clear and effective communication during sessions. 📚 Rule Familiarity Players are expected to review the basic Dungeons & Dragons 5e rules before the campaign begins. Additional rules and guidance will be provided as needed throughout the campaign. 🛡️ Character Creation Characters can be created in advance or collaboratively with the party during the first session. 🖥️ Required Software Players must install the Beyond20 extension, available at: beyond20.here-for-more.info. This tool integrates D&D Beyond with Roll20 for a seamless gameplay experience. 💬 Discord Access Players should have access to Discord for communication and coordination outside of game sessions.

Let’s make it work.

How Moses creates a safe table
Themes such as violence, psychological elements, and mature content may be present but will be tailored to your comfort levels. Certain subjects like sexual assault, harm to children, and harm to domestic animals will never be explicitly described in our games. During our first session, we'll discuss safety tools and content preferences. I adhere to a strict policy against discrimination (sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc.) and aim to create a respectful and safe environment for all players. Feel free to reach out with any concerns or requests!
