Fics like The Shadows of Hyrule

A collection of short meta essays about some of the darker and more mysterious elements in the lore of the Legend of Zelda series. Many of these essays use Ganondorf as a key to understanding the deeper themes of the games and the underlying forces that have shaped the history and metaphysics of Hyrule, but there are also discussions of Princess Zelda, Link, Midna, the Sheikah, and the Gerudo. The first chapter contains a table of contents and a brief summary of each essay.
