About this mod

Adds a CM Partner master swordsman named Link to the Abandoned House in Cheydinhal.

NOTE: This REQUIRES that you install theRoadstrokers The Legend of Zelda Remake first. As long as you have that mods resources, this mod will work. It doesn't require his plugin, but I recommend using it as it is a VERY good mod.

Description
===========
Adds a CM Partner master swordsman named Link to the Abandoned House in Cheydinhal. He came from a faraway land called Hyrule searching for answers regarding previous incarnations of himself. He is looking for someone to travel with, someone who Link hopes is a righteous being like himself, and not corrupted like the Ayleids who are now extinct. He meditates on these thoughts so that he may be able to resist the corrupting aura emanating from the former Ayleid City Capital. This is evident not only in some of the guards, like Audens Avidius of the Imperial City or Ulrich Leland of Cheydinhal, but in weak-willed citizens like Maglir of the Fighters Guild and Glarthir the crazy wood elf of Skingrad. Link also wants his companion to be able to resist this dark magic. That way, the ability to resist such dark magic will come easier to him, and will possibly enable him to connect with his earlier incarnations.

NOTE: This REQUIRES that you install theRoadstrokers The Legend of Zelda Remake first. As long as you have that mods resources, this mod will work. It doesn't require his plugin, but I recommend using it as it is a VERY good mod.

NOTE #2: This also requires Blackie's CM Partner Basic mod. Without it, a CTD will occur.
