Hyrule: Total War Apocalypse

'Goddesses DAMN Ganondorf, Zant too for that matter!' Link thought as he massaged his leg trying to banish the pain of his old wounds.

After his fight against Ganondorf ended with failure he was forced to flee the castle with Zelda to avoid the wrath of the goddesses. However the two of them split up in the castle town to gather as many citizens as possible to flee with them and ensure their survival. During this the goddesses started to display their wrath and the two of them ended up being forced to flee in different directions with Zelda taking most of the refugees with her.

'If only that idiotic puppet Zant wasn't able to wound me as he did, I would have been able to beat Ganondorf and none of this would have happened.' Link continued his train of thought as he finished massaging his leg and went back to working on all the paperwork he had piled up around him.

After getting out of castle town Link led the survivors with him south towards Ordona Province though they stopped off along the way at a small town in the Hyrule Fields called Malonville. There they were able to reprovision and gather many more refugees as the Wrath of the goddesses continued to chase after them and refurbish the landscape behind them.

'uggg, to be doing anything other than this blasted paperwork I am stuck with now that I am forced into a leadership position.' Link thought as he signed off on another document approving the allocation of more resources to aid the refugees.

After getting out of the Malonville Link was able to lead them to Ordona in time, which thankfully was spared from the goddesses punishment. After arriving Link found himself forced into a leadership position as he swiftly realized none of the Hylians he led here would ever respect the leadership of the likes of Mayor Bo, Russell, or any of the 'lords' of the province. After all to the Hylians this province was a province of peasants and farmers and therefore had no right leading true Hylians in any way. Only Link was respected by them because of his heroism and his own Hylian heritage despite being born and raised in Ordona.

'Damn the stubbornness of the Hylian lords and merchants too for refusing to acknowledge the leadership capabilities of Mayor Bo and the others. I am the LEAST qualified person for this position, I should be training the militia or an army, not sitting here doing paperwork!' Link thought as he looked out the window seeing the ongoing activities of the farming town and the tent city that sprung up beside it.

After it was made clear that the Hylians would only respect Link Mayor Bo also decided this was the perfect chance to retire and put Link in charge of the province with his daughter Ilia leading the native Ordonian's with some advice and aid from him. Shortly thereafter Link was forced into his new position as the Lord of Ordona Province by the will of the people. After coming into power despite all his protests he swiftly proved an able leader organizing the construction of a tent city for the Hylians and ensured they had enough food and other resources.

'Nothing for it now, all I can do is ensure this province services one way or the other. Which that alone is going to be a task to do given the nearby presence of the Moblin lands to the southwest and our complete lack of a military.' Link continued thinking in resignation as he knew there was no way out of his position and that he now had to fix up the province and keep everyone safe. 'The question is, where the hell do I begin?'

Metal has never been something Ordonians have had in abundance. They certainly have never had a mine in the province either. With the lack of a supply from Eldin province and the need to outfit your own army to defend yourselves, you had best change that soon.
