The premise is this: Some [[Big Bad]] is threatening Hyrule, and all the people who have a clue what it is know is that one person holding the [[Infinity+1 Sword|Master Sword]] ain't gonna [[Incredibly Lame Pun|cut]] it...and [[The Legend of Zelda Four Swords|the]] [[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four]] [[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|Sword]] is unavailable. The goddesses had the feeling this would happen, and thus engineered a way to get past the Master Sword's [[Only the Chosen May Wield|One Hero Limit]] and have its power shared between two wielders, via three rings called the [[Title Drop|Rings of Dualty]]. The basic way it works is simple: Whichever one wears the most Rings at the time has the Master Sword while some of the sword's power is granted to the other one. Of course, [[Only the Chosen May Wield|only the chosen may wield them]], and they're scattered about the land, [[Baleful Polymorph|punishing]] anyone unfit who tries wearing one.
Line 26:
* [[Expy]]: A few. Some include Darcia as [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Malon]], Betta as [[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Rusl]], and Daigorno as [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Darunia]]. Places, too, such as Korken Woods for [[The Lost Woods]].
* [[Foot Focus]]: Samba, frequently, with his unusually large feet. While probably partially [[Author Appeal]], it's always to either point out the consequences of having such feet (better balance and kicking power, but no ability to sidle along narrow ledges due to size) or [[Played for Laughs|to be silly]]. Even used for characterization; naturally, Samba was and is teased for them.
* [[Furry Fandom]]: [[Word of God|The author is a furry]], which is pretty obvious if you look at his [http://b.fanfiction.net/imageu/786539/125/ avatar.]{{Dead link}} The influence is fairly apparent in the fic, though it doesn't hamper things. (It helps that there are already a number of non-human races in the [[The Verse|Zeldaverse]].) The most egregious example is probably {{spoiler|Krungratrg when they meet him again at Here; he's a giant, muscular, overweight armadillo who loves how big he is}}...however, {{spoiler|his}} [[Large Ham|pers]][[Cloudcuckoolander|ona]][[Crazy Awesome|lity]] makes up for this.
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: Given it's trying to be a Zelda game, it's almost to be expected.
* [[The Lost Woods]]: Korken Woods, as well as the first dungeon, the Forest of Peril.
