If your battery is bad, then it’s collateral damage. Also if the battery is bad (voltage good but can’t handle a load), someone needs a lesson on how to test batteries at you Toyota Dealership.
The fact that you can start/run the car via a jump almost certainly rules out the alternator.
If your dash lights don’t come on and your vehicle won’t start without a jump AND your battery checks out then it is almost certainly your cables.
It could not hurt to replace you fusible links, but I don’t suspect them being the culprit.
Another thing to note; if your posts/terminals/cables have been compromised for awhile, there is a good chance that your solenoid and starter contacts will need to be addressed. e.g. reduced voltage equals heightened amperage draw, increased resistance yields similar results.
Cheapest and most impactful and necessary items that need attention would be your terminals and battery clamps.

New terminals should be here tomorrow. I work multiple jobs so should be able to source another battery on Sunday.
Don't you dare replace them both at the same time so we don't know which was the culprit.
