The Legend of Zelda- Avenged Threefold

The Legend of Zelda- Avenged Threefold is a Zelda game for the Sony Playstation 6, developed by Italian company Bushido Games. 
It's set years after Hyrule's fall and it stars a protagonist with three personalities who is in contact with the whole Triforce, which makes her able to transform between three personalities with different skillsets and abilities, similar to Link in Majora's Mask: the blade-focused "Ling-Kai" (this game's incarnation of Link), the psychic powers and magic-focused personality "Elise" (the incarnation of Zelda) and the powerful dark-based personality named "Harunori" (the reincarnation of Ganondorf). The dungeons are based on alternating between those personalities and using their skillset to the fullest. 
The game has three endings, which lead to one of the three personalities taking over.
== Setting ==
Unlike many Zelda games, this one has a more technological setting, as it's set a thousand years into the future. Hyrule castle is now buried under the Sands of Annihilation, and ancient Hyrule is now completely lost. As such, Link is not the protagonist, but rather a posthumous character featured in memory fragments, as he had given up his life to create the Sands of Annihilation. 
What remains of Hyrule is now part of the Shan-Raznik Empire, inhabited by Sheikah. For a thousand years, the empire has been constantly expanding, until recently, when the Crimson Mist started appearing: it's a blood-red mist which turns areas where it appears into a deserted state with silver ash-like sand. 
== Gameplay ==
The gameplay is based on switching forms, like Link in Majora's Mask: the hero is a reincarnation of all three heroes of the Triforce at the same time and can switch between their powers.
The hero has three forms: the Personality of Light, named "Elise", represents the Triforce of Wisdom, has psychic powers that are similar to BOTW's runes and self-healing abilities, and can take control of various machines and vehicles with her mind. The Personality of Twilight, "Ling-Kai", is based on Link and the Triforce of Courage, and is a skilled assassin and swordmaster. "Harunori", the Personality of Darkness, based on Ganondorf, has a claw coated in dark energy which allows him to cast strong dark magic but also powerful direct combat arts.
Unlike BOTW, the dungeons are bigger, more important and feature more complex puzzles, however instead of relying only on the dungeon item, they require switching between all three forms.
== Characters ==
The Incarnation: a combination of three personalities, created when Link, Zelda and Ganondorf's bodies merged to annihilate each other, creating the Sands. The personalities of the three beings still live inside them, contaminated by the presence of each other. They have the power to purify the zones affected by the Crimson Mist. The Shadows refer to them as "Indra". 
The Shadows (Nikolai, Himiko and Orochi): three humanlike creatures that have been corrupted and brought into the world by the darkness in the Three Ancient Heroes' minds, and separated from the hero after the merging, who have the power to create and spread the Crimson Mist. They're the Shadow of Courage "Nikolai", the Shadow of Wisdom "Himiko" and the Shadow of Power "Orochi". They wield weapons that house the power of annihilation: the Gem of Yasakani, the Mirror of Yata and the Blade of Kusanagi. They're immune to anything except their opposite personality. They come from the Soul World (Twilight Realm) and are the three personalities associated with the Anima Triforce, a second Triforce equal and opposite to the Materia Triforce of the Physical World (Human Realm). The Shadows can be considered the Twili counterparts of Link, Zelda and Ganondorf: Midna from TP was in fact a past incarnation of Himiko (her true Twili name was in fact "Himiko"), while Nikolai is the Link of the Soul World and Zant was a past incarnation of him (the name "Zant" is a title that means "Usurper"). Nikolai has been corrupted by Link's emotional scars, PTSD, self-loathing and desire for freedom, hence his Link-like human form. Himiko has been corrupted by Zelda's feeling of weakness and her deep inferiority complex, hence her human form that looks like Zelda. Orochi has been corrupted by Ganondorf's deep hatred and desire of revenge, hence his Ganondorf-like human form. 
The Spirit: The consciousness of Zelda, now separate from her body and surviving in ancient Hyrule to guide the Incarnation in their quest. She's now part of the Spirit World (Sacred Realm), a metaphysical link between the Physical World and the Soul World, and is now at one with Hylia.
Asura: an amalgamation of the three Shadows controlled by Malice, and the natural opposite of The Incarnation. Its form "Amalgamation of Shadows Asura" and the final form "Incarnation of Nothingness Asura Indrajit" are the first two phases of the final boss (the third is a fight between the personality chosen by the hero and the other two personalities).
The Soulborn (Twili) and the Sand Angels: Soldiers that obey the Shadows. They replace the demons usually seen in the series. The Sand Angels are the guardians of the Sands, and only thrive in the Crimson Mist.

== Plot ==
The game starts inside the heroine's mind, where the player plays as Ling-Kai, the Twilight Personality, traversing through a trippy sequence where Ling-Kai hears a voice calling them (later revealed to be Zelda), and mentioning weird stuff like "Return from the Sands", "Purify the world", "Saving the world from itself", etc. Ling-Kai explores the first dungeon, the Depths of the Mind, and reaches the Light Altar and the Dark Altar, where they fight the other personalities, Elise and Harunori, and awaken them. Then, after both are defeated, Ling-Kai puts their blade into the Twilight Altar and the hero's body is awakened.
The hero awakens in the Cave of Awakening, in Hyrule, under the Sands of Annihilation, and follows Zelda until they exit. They attempt to purify the Crimson Mist but they can't due to them being in proximity of its source (the ruins of ancient Hyrule). Zelda explains the Incarnation that they have to purify the land.
Zelda tells them that Crimson Mist has appeared in Death Mountain, where the Gorons live, so the Incarnation is sent there to purify it.

== Trivia ==
The game's title is a reference to the band "Avenged Sevenfold". Some Sheikah Discs collected in the game contain songs by A7X that are never heard at any other point in the game.
This game is the only one where Link talks: all three personalities of the hero are talking characters, including Ling-Kai. The past Link seen in several flashbacks, however, does not.
This game's hero does not wear Link's iconic green tunic. Instead, Ling-Kai has a red samurai armor, while Elise has a white kimono with a pink hood and Harunori has a heavy black mongol-style armor. The reason for this is that red is the color that represents the Spirit (courage), white is the color of the Soul (wisdom) and black represents the Body (power). 
A main theme is the triad of Body/Physical, Soul/Mental and Spirit, called in the game the "Triforce of Triforces": the Physical and the Soul worlds have their own triforces, while the Spirit World is one and infinite things at the same time (making the number seven a plot-relevant number instead of nine and making an A7X reference).
