The licanius trilogy explores this really nicely. If you're a sci-fi or fantasy fan I really do highly recommend them.
Hopefully without spoiling too much, the future being predetermined doesn't necessarily prohibit free will. In the same way we can't travel backwards in time we can't travel forwards faster. Everything has happened, both in the past present and future, but it's still the decisions of the people that led to and lead to the outcomes that exist. The past is just as postdetermined as the future is predetermined, if that makes any sense.
It's weird but I liked it.
Zelda is awesome.
Lotr and brando are awesome.
Arsenal are awesome.
Guitars are awesome.
Sounds good to me.
