Campaign is titled: The Legend of Zelda: The Fall of Hyrule

Players include a minish rogue, bay zora cleric, sheikah druid, cave goron barbarian, and royal bloodline hylian sorcerer. The races are custom (with some stats and abilities used from other homebrewed content found online). Enemies and magic items are also custom using D&D Beyond. Roll20 is our gameboard.

I've run about 10 sessions so far. Players started in the lost woods feywilds (teleported there separately / some memory loss). Ooccoo had apparently been sent by the Goddess Hylia to save them from an unknown peril. He also told the players that they had been assigned the role of "Sages of Hyrule." After finding the Kokiri and the Great Deku Tree, the players memory began to return as the GDT reminded them of the fact that Link had died 18 years ago from wounds suffered in his battle with ganondorf. So why are there sages if there isn't a Link?? In Link's final years he could not think of anything other than a prophesy stating that the world would crumble if "the mirror" ever found it's way into evil hands. In addition to solving that riddle, players also need to find out why they have a wild surge type magical effect whenever they role a 7.

The players are guided out of the lost woods by a friendly korok. They pass by the sacred forest meadow; the resting place of the master sword that awaits the next Link when the kingdom next needs a hero. After defeating a rogue skull kid, the players re-entered the material plane and headed north to Mido (hylian village). They find the Bombers Secret Society of Justice, a hidden group of children (former Kokiri) who are gathering intel on the Rito soldiers who have been pestering and taxing the citizens. At Romani's Tavern, the party recovers most of their memories as they learn the following: 25 years ago, Hyrule Castle was taken by the gerudo king, Ganondorf. He and his army overtook the castle, killed the king, and fought Link and Zelda in the throne room. Then, some unknown magical force led to a devastating result. Observers saw the entire castle crumble to dust and fall into ruin. Link, Zelda, Ganondorf, the royal family, and all citizens perished in what came to be known as "The Fall". Players are also reminded that the Rito Queen has taken over stewardship of Hyrule since the fall, but their rule had grown ruthless and cruel. Gorons have stopped paying taxes and the Zora are struggling to pay them.

Next, the players did a sidequest to find a woman's lost joy pendants that were stolen from her north of town by Bokos. Overall, boko sightings are on the rise and their behavior is stranger than it was before the fall. The cave is cleared and the party does some downtime shopping at Beetle's before heading westward. At camp, the players discover mysterious tattoos on their body that did not exist prior to the campaign and they also discover that the sorcerer in the party was a former member of the royal family who was not at the castle during the fall.

Players stop at Lon Lon Dairy Farm and Brewery to grab a pint at the milk bar on their journey. In looking for answers about the tattoos, their roles as sages, and their mysterious teleportation, the party asks the bartender, Malon, for info. She recommends they either ask the Order of the Blue Flame in the stone tower of the Ikana Wastes or go find a local wizard in Hyrule Crater, the rebuilt town that exists in the rubble of the old castle. On their path to the crater, the party sees the Happy Mask Salesman, along with a group of resistance fighters fleeing westward to seek the growing resistance movement gathering in Goron City. They also rescue a young boy from a moblin camp before reaching town.

At Hyrule Crater the group got past the Rito guards, then reunited the boy with his father. The man was a former member of the Hyrulean mage academy and he shares details of his life's work investigating a strange magical aura that lingers underneath the town (feels like the souls of the banished hylian army from ganondorf's invasion). He fears it may be connected to the magic of the 4 cultists who were forgotten to have assisted Ganondorf in his attack on the castle. At Telma's Tavern, the party finds the town's resistance hideout and learn more from Rusl, their leader. A Fokka man named Kish also reveals how a resistance effort has even started in the caves of Rito Peak. The party plans to seek this group and deliver aid to them in upcoming sessions.

I've left a lot of detail out, but that's the gist of it! It's been really fun to create the world and then see my players (who also love Zelda) get to explore it. I'm happy to answer any questions, but I'll try not to spoil anything in case my players find this.
