S-Verse

S-verse is a fanmade alternate universe based on The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, in which Link is defeated by Demise and becomes a servant to the new demon kingdom.

Summary
Link lay unconscious before Demise during battle. Moments before the demon king ends his life, Ghirahim suddenly tells Demise to stop. He then protests to Demise that he shouldn't kill Link, but instead keep him alive as a "trophy" of sorts to signify his victory against the Goddess Hylia. Demise disagrees at first, but with further pleading from his sword and deeper thought, he complies to his sword's wishes and spares Link's life.

From there, Link serves the new-found demon kingdom under the rule of Demise. For the first few years he struggles with depression, accepting his fate, and mourning the assumed loss of Zelda. Whether or not he escapes or comes to terms with what has become and gradually accepts his new life amongst the demons is left up to each individual fan.

Setting
Most of the AU's stories have taken place within Capital City (the city haboring Demise's castle and many demon shops, markets and homes). Though this is a commonplace for events within the AU, there are plenty of other locations among the surface that have been majorly affected by the demons' reign. Note: The time period for when S-verse takes place is undecided, but it is assumed to take place in the game's present time.

Geography
The majority of the AU takes place on the Surface, where demons have continuously ruptured the grounds and repopulated the land during a thousand year period of Demise being reawakened. The Surface is now covered in demon cities and villages that have been built during that time frame. Many creatures native to certain provinces have been forced out of their homes and into new locations due to demon overpopulation and fear of being cursed or possessed.

Demise's castle was built in the former province of Eldin, just on the border of what used to be called Faron. (Since the names of provinces referenced the Gods of Old, the demons have taken it upon themselves to rename each one and the different locations within them.) A vast city full of demon markets, shops and homes (known simply as Capital City) lies just outside his castle. In the background to the west of his castle, volcanos can be seen, and in the east lush tree tops coat the landscape.

The most notable geographic change that the demons' reign has affected is in former Lanayru province. Many demons in that area have harvested time shift stones in order to preserve the area's vibrant coastline as a prominent source for local food. Because of the limited amount of time shift stones available, the area outside of the coastal area still eventually formed into desert over time.
