{{quote|''But the godesses know that, someday, an evil so powerful, one weilder of the Master Sword would be insufficient, would come. They had an idea of what to do in such a case, should the legendary Four Sword, which has the power to split its weilder into two, three, or even four selves, be inacessible. They just did not know what would happen when their plan was finally forced to be used...''|Intro narration passage}}
 
''[[The Legend of Zelda: Rings of Dualty]]''<ref>"Dualty" is a word the author thought existed and, if it didn't, should exist; means roughly "the state of being two things at once/of two things acting as one". Likely a misspelling of "duality", which may or may not mean what the author intends. Regardless, he's keeping the spelling as-is for the moment due to laziness and plot purposes.</ref> is an in-progress Action-Adventure (with a dose of comedy) [[The Legend of Zelda|Zelda]] [[Fanfic]] for written by [[User:Ferre Trip]] ("FT" for short) started in late November 2007. It is written like a [[Novelization]] of a game that exists entirely within the author's (and reader's) mind...complete with new items and fully-narrated dungeons.<ref>Originally, these were not going to be fully narrated, but positive response from what few readers commented caused FT to cave and do so. [[Didn't Think This Through|This resulted in six chapters of a dungeon set in a relatively plausible working foundry.]]</ref> The main gimmick behind the "game" is that it is an almost entirely co-op 3D game, with two similar yet distinct main characters: The hylian [[The Chosen One|Link]], of course, and the intelligent [[Lizard Folk|lizalfos]] [[Original Character|Samba]]. It can be found [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3913172/1/The_Legend_of_Zelda_Rings_of_Dualty here] on FanFiction.net.
 
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 11:
 
[[Wall of Text|Extremely wordy]] (something the author fights with for everything), chock-full of [[Lampshade Hanging]] and [[Justified Trope|justification]] of different mechanics and aspects of the series, and not lacking of gratuitous effort and attention to detail in certain places, the fic is supposed to make the reader feel like s/he is actually playing a Zelda game, with the two main characters often thinking like players. (The author wants to make a sort of [[Interactive Fiction|interactive version]] on his own [[The Wiki Rule|wiki]]<ref>meant as a guide to his overly-complex stories and other creative works, ''not'' to fluff his ego</ref> someday to make it more like a real game, letting players figure out what to do themselves.) It, like most other fanfics, falls victim to pretty [[Egregious]] [[Schedule Slip]] because of various factors, the biggest being college. (Second-biggest is various other projects, third- being [[Didn't Think This Through|indecision]].)
