The Legend of Zelda: Hylian Nights

I found this fanart on Twitter and it really got me thinking.

So, Hyrule in a modern setting.
Link is a provincial from a farming town, come to Hyrule City to make his fortune at the urging of one of his childhood friends. After being the victim of a crime and having the police take a statement and then do nothing, he becomes a private detective, determined to work outside the system and right as many wrongs as he can. He teams up with
"Princess" Zelda is the daughter of the chancellor of Hyrule, who defied her father and went into law enforcement rather than politics or philanthropy. She worked her way up through the ranks to sergeant, but she's getting tired of the bureaucracy and yearns to return to solving crimes herself. Hyrule City needs someone to clean it up who cares, who won't be corrupted by all the dirty money flowing through the streets.
Link and Zelda meet at a (milk) bar and strike up a friendship over drinks. When Link finds a trail that runs all the way to the very top, he tells his friend "Princess" about it, and she immediately sees a chance to make a difference. With Link working outside the system and Zelda working inside it, they follow the trail until it implicates
"Demon King" Ganondorf, the President of the Black Desert Group, Hyrule's largest corporation. He gives generously to charity and supports dozens of initiatives designed to improve the lives of the citizens, but there are persistent rumors about him. That he's a terrible man to cross, that those who too-vocally oppose him suffer mysterious accidents or personal misfortune. Ganondorf smiles when asked and says that the Goddesses must favor him, and then changes the subject to his latest corporate philanthropic venture.
Link and Zelda know he's dirty, but they have to find some way to prove it. The game would be gathering evidence, dealing with Black Desert Group thugs sent to stop them, and meeting the quirky characters of Hyrule City. Of course at some point, they learn that the legends about the "Master Sword" are real, and that they need it to stop the Demon King from getting his hands on the legendary Triforce. End with Link, gun in his right hand and Master Sword in his left, side by side with Zelda, fighting their way up the Black Desert Group skyscraper headquarters in downtown Hyrule City on their way to the president's room on the top floor.
Here's the themesong.
...you know, maybe I should write a fanfic of this.
