What Makes A Hero?

@bloodofthehero starter for Link and Vair!

The days after Ganondorf’s demise were busy. Vair scarcely had a day off despite Zelda’s attempts to keep him rested and able. Every day he was off-duty, he spent doing the same thing: looking for the hero and trying to catch a moment with him. Eventually, he managed the feat.

Vair caught a glimpse of the hero working with a group of cats in the streets of Castle Town, and he managed to cross the tides of passersby to catch his attention, scattering the cats in doing so.

“Excuse me. You are Link, yes?” As if anyone else who wore that tunic would be, according to Vair’s wife.

The hero of legend... Vair didn’t doubt he had to be worthy of that title somehow. The royal guards to Zelda were plenty strong, each bearing the virtues of the golden goddesses in spades. No offense meant, but Vair had trouble comprehending exactly what made it so a farm boy from Ordon could defeat Ganondorf and restore peace to Hyrule when the royal guards could not.

And he wanted to know.

{Omg. I hate her face. I hate it. I'm so sorry. But! I hope you still like it! ^^ Aku offers the hero some treats to enjoy after a sale~}

❛  yer actin' like my mom.  ❜

Aku cocked her head to the side, almost as if she'd been asked something in a language she didn't understand. She tried to consider whether this was a good thing or if she was making him uncomfortable. Personally, she would have enjoyed if someone reminded her of one of her guardians, but the fact of the matter was that not everyone believed the same way she did. And since she wasn't as familiar with her new friend as she'd liked to be, she couldn't go off making any assumptions.

She shook her head a bit and beamed at Link instead, deciding the best way to get to the bottom of it would simply be to ask. "Is that a bad thing? Is there something you'd like me to stop doing? Or was this a compliment?"

She didn't seem at all offended herself, in any case.

“Twi... We really don’t need more meat. I’ll be up all night trying to cure what we got.” Wild looks down at the raw meat.

"...You remind me of someone. Nobody extraordinary, don't preen yourself." Revali narrows his gaze, scrutinizing the boy in front of him. The light hair, blue eyes, typical Hylian-pointed ears...

And the sword he carries on his back...

"Who are you?" He demands, putting a lot of force behind his voice. This isn't the little Knight of the Royal Guard, that much is certain. The resemblance, however, is uncanny.

It stirs something strange in Revali's chest.

"Can't sleep?"

Scarlett had been looking up at the stars when she heard Link approach. Scarlett looked over and nodded, letting out a sigh. "Yeah." she replied softly. "What about you?" Scarlett pulled her knees up to her chest.

@bloodofthehero​ weeps with the Mourning Princess!

While many would think that Princess Zelda Nohansen Hyrule lived out the rest of her days in happiness and joy, especially once the threat of Ganondorf was revealed and he was executed, she actually came to live with immense guilt for the fate of the Gerudo people. She was an active opponent of her father in their persecution, but by the time she ascended to the throne the damage was done. She attempted to rescind as much as she could, but the nobles in court fought her every step of the way. She soon took to wearing all black, a sign of mourning for the people of the desert.

Perhaps that was why her spirit still lingered, long after death. Tonight she again wandered the world, a large and powerful ghost. She had become something of an urban legend in Castle Town; a boogeyman to scare bad children. She almost felt the warmth of laughter come to her at the thought of it. She was once such a child, though that was many years ago.

Perhaps it was inevitable that she would run into the reincarnation of the Hero. Link. She felt a strange stirring of emotions within her as she observed him.

How different he was from his predecessor. At least, what she remembered of him.

“Will you be the one to lay me to my final rest...?” she asked, remaining hidden from sight.

Aku clasped her hands together, holding them up beside her head, "Yes! I made too many again, so please have some as a complimentary gift~ Oh, and if you ever come across extra ingredients, I'll be happy to trade for those, too."

She was pretty bubbly, all things considered, but she was absolutely serious about her offer. Since she was making things like this all the time anyway, she was happy to present some to the traveller. Sweets could be difficult to make out on the road, so she prided herself in her creation of them.
