Okay, okay. I know what you’re thinking. “Ruth, this is a fanfiction. You don’t put an acknowledgments at the end of a fanfiction.” To which I have to say, one, I always wanted to write an acknowledgments so yeah, and two, I can do what I want.
So!
A big, BIG thank you to my bestie Caitlin, for giving me feedback and hyping me up throughout not just this story, but basically every story I’ve ever written. I see you, girl. Thank you so much. Especially because I know I can be a handful.
Thank you thank you to my sister Janet, my partner-in-crime, my ride-or-die. Your deadpan criticism was often ignored but you shed a lot of logic into this story and have been proofreading it since page 1. Thanks for the inside jokes and the Depends.
Thank you to Hoopla. You were helpful for providing the Goddess Trilogy and Creating a Champion for free so I could keep things in the realm of canon until my library deactivated you due to budget cuts. May you rest in peace until you are reactivated.
Thank you so much to Eiji Aunoma. Ain’t no way you ever seeing this but I wanted to add you because you care so much for this series and have put so much time and effort into it. Thank you for keeping Zelda truly a legend.
And finally, thank you to anyone who read this! It’s crazy, corny, and confusing, but it’s mine, and I’m glad to share it and my precious versions of Link and Zelda with you.
All in all, thank you!
