Couldn’t draw so I wrote Linktober, supercut. Also It says mature, I hate writing naughty stuffs, it’s disgusting. So I assure you there is nothing that should be… ehem adult (good news it’s not there anymore)
Authors note: Thank you all for the support, I genuinely enjoyed this so much. This helped me get a creative outlet and it helped so much coping with stress.
Special thanks to @mobgabriel for reading all this shit, thank you :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
13 years old, Link trained since he was 4, when his father saw him swinging a long stick, Link took and interest. The youngest in the trainees, yet the best of the group. Out of all 30 trainees, he was one of of 5 to graduate, the first to go straight to the Royal Guard.
“Link Alerron.” A guard rolls his eyes “youngest member in the Hyrulean Royal Guard, just how did a 13 year old manage to get get all the way here without any combat experience” he points accusingly
“Come now the boy hasn’t even been properly knighted yet give him a break” another defends Link.
During the ceremony, Link kneeled the Princess, Zelda, placed his soon to be sword on his shoulder, reciting the Royal Guards oath. Link tuned out the entire thing, he knew his job, protect, seek, destroy. His job is to protect the Royal Family, the people, and their kingdom with her allies.
“Do you swear to Hylia that you will protect this kingdom?” Zelda lifts the sword “you may stand”
Link stands making eye contact with Zelda, he knew what he had to say, it was so easy ‘on Hylia’ that’s all, but she’s beautiful. Link sucks in a breath “on Hylia” he nods, Zelda hands his the blade, Link carefully takes it and hold it up. His mind is far from the ceremony, more on the feeling of déjà vú, he sheaths the blade and bows, Zelda bows back. They both swiftly turn and walk th opposite directions.
Link and Zelda stare at a book then at a pile of wood. “Okay so if you move your hand forward abruptly it should summon Dins Fire” Zelda said giving a demonstration, Link mimicked is there where small sparks but not enough to blaze.
“How’s the magic meter?” Zelda pat his head.
“Just a little off the top-“ he sighs “are we worthless- sorry, is this worth it? I get it we found and old book of magic and your curious”
“Please Link just bare with me here, one more time”
Link sighs but complies this time when he casts the spell the wood catches fire and burn bright, blinding them, as their vision comes back a silhouette of a small creature shows
“Ya-Ha-Ha! You-“ Link throws the Korok
A Bokoblin camp, Link observes. Now he could be normal, but nay. He turns and climbs up the mountain, the slow process boring him, he jumps to the top. Once he’s rested enough from the climb he jumps off paraglides close to the camp and let’s go, entering his Champions ability and slowing time down he pulls out bomb arrows and blows up the camp, once his bomb barrage is over he pulls out fire arrows and burns the stragglers.
He lands in the burning camp stand there smiling and picking up the guts and bones he can before putting them in the Sheikah Slate.
He heads back to Hateno proud of his arson. As soon as he walks in the door to his house he feels Zelda’s glare.
“Where have yo- why in Hylia’s golden light are you covered in soot?” Zelda grips the railing of the loft.
Link laughs awkwardly “well I was bored-“
“So you burned a camp down again?” Zelda scoff “trigger happy”
“Hey! I like the smell okay!”
Link got back from hunting. Zelda has all her hair in a braided crown, she has a bandana tied around her head, and she’s carrying clean folded clothes. One of the children from the village, Aster, was hanging out with Zelda. Aster ran up to Link “Mr. Hero!” She says “your back!” She hugs him. Link goes stiff…
“Big Brother!” A little girl ran to him “Big Brother… why are you in fancy clothes?” She questions
“Oh Honey…” an older woman “ she puts folded clothes down “my baby” she walks to him cupping his face. She fixes his hair and berie “your named after an ancient Hero from your Fathers side, the Hero of Time, Link” she straightens his back “you’ve made the name your own, I’m so proud of you” kiss
“Mom” Link’s stoic facade falls and he hugs his mother “I’m gonna miss you” he tries to hold himself together.
“It’s okay just let it out. Momma’s here” she coos kissing his forehead.
“I love you, Momma” he hug tighter.
“I love you too, Link. Say bye to your sister” she fixes his hair.
Link kneels to her “hey Kiddo” he ruffles her hair.
“Hi big Brother” she hugs him “your leaving like Daddy did?”
“No I’ll come back this time I promise, I’ll come home again Aryll” he runs his hand through her hair “I’ll come home”
“I love you more lil sis” he backs up a bit rubbing her arms before standing “I love you, both of you, Aryll take care of Momma okay?”
“Okay Linky” Aryll solutes, smiling wide.
Link solutes back a warm smile on his features then turns calling Shadow, hoping on the horse and waving goodbye
Link snaps out of it, met with Zelda holding him and Aster holding his hand.
“I’m home” he says, his voice heavy.
Ever sense Termina… Majora*, the Fierce Deity*, Getting sent back, being forced to be forgotten, Link lived as a wanderer. For awhile people would be concerned for the 9 year old with no parents, aimlessly wandering, some thought he was grieving parents, others who took pity offered food and a bed for him. The Royal Family, who knew him as the boy who forsaw the rise of Ganondorf and stopped it. He came to Castle Town one day, when he was 16, growing tired and looking far beyond his years. Princess Zelda, who was taking a stroll to say hello to the commoners, saw him. “Link?” She says smiling, picking up her skirt and running to him, “how go your travels, anything good?”
“No, just the usual, the people are doing good” Link smiles at his friend.
She smiles “oh that’s wonderful! I’m glad” she puts her hand a top her chest
Link does a small bow of his head and scoffs “how are you, Princess? And your Father?”
“Oh I’m great! I learned the Lon Lon Ranch has some of the best milk ever*” she talks her hands making wild gestures “I had Father approved that we get milk, eggs, and any other farm produce from the ranch, it truly is amazing-“ she gasps softly “have you ever been?”
“Many’a times, Princess. Trust me they’re produce isn’t the only thing that’s great about it” Link says, his face turning a small hue of maroon on his cheeks and ears
“I see you’ve met Malon” she calls him out
“She’s cute! It’s not fair” he pouts
Zelda laughs, clutching her stomach, she fans her hand at him “oh please” which earns an eye roll from the forgotten Hero, “you should go to Lon Lon, last I saw, Talon is trying to set Malon up with a young man who doesn’t quite act his age”
“Who” Link dead pans, he wouldn’t say it but he’s very protective of Malon.
“16 year old who ‘is immature and insufferable’ as she put is” Zelda does air quotes.
Link turns promptly and starts walking
“Go get your girl!” Zelda cheers, only now noticing the commoners who stared at her and the boy, astonished by the human interaction between the two.
Link walks through the gate, not caring to ask Talon if he can go into the fenced field, Link walks to the center of the field and waits.
Malon is washing dishes while Talon dries and puts them away, she gazes out the window seeing the familiar green of the Kokiri Tunic. She abruptly puts the dish down and walks out the house “Link!?” She yells. He laughs and waves. “Fairy Boy!” She picks up her skirt and runs to him, crashing into his arms, they both tumble onto the floor, Link taking the blow so Malon wouldn’t get hurt, “where have you been? It’s been what a year? Even then you barely talked to me last you were here!”
“I was in th Gerudo Region, it’s been a years ‘n’ a half” he helps her up “I’m sorry I didn’t talk last I was here, you’re just beautiful- intimidating*” He fixes her hair, blushing, and twilight sun hiding it.
She hugs him, inhaling his scent of flowers, grass, and something uniquely him* “you can stay over the night” she melts “we can have a picnic in the morning, Daddy can take care of Epona” she twirls her finger on his arm.
“Oh.” He pauses “I left Epona at Castle Town” he stiffens realizing his mare is still in the noble town.
“Oh you airhead!” Malon barks out a laugh “wait you walked all the way here?”
“Yes-“ he answer instantly “actually more like ran”
“I heard you were dating someone, and he wasn’t me, I’m putting a stop to it”
“You charmer” she boops him “take me away then he’s so annoying”
“Is he here, I’ll fight him”
“No-“ she laughs “I forced Daddy to stop”
“I know, come here” she kisses his nose “your the only one I got eyes for”
Link and Zelda vowed to stay on the surface after Demise. Research and Discovery awaiting the near the future, but now they they prepare.
“Link do you think I should wear these?” She twirls, Zelda’s in a knee length dress mirroring she day-to-day dress up in Skyloft, black tights on underneath, a bag strapped around her shoulder “Link? How does it look?”
He admired her for a minute. His name snapped him back “like the goddess herself”
“Then she chose a beautiful woman as her vessel” he flirts effortlessly.
“That Hero’s Spirits made you all confident” she ruffles his hair, he lets out a hum, looking at her smiling cutely “oh don’t be mistaken I like it” she says, he barks a laugh heeling over.
“Oh you Oaf! Let’s go!” She drags him into the unknown by the wrist.
The Sheikah, known for working closely with the Royal Family, some even Training the best of the Royal Guard. That’s why when Link found what was in the Kakariko Well he instantly wanted to question, investigate. He questioned Dorian, he just shook his head sighed “you don’t think you want to know” Dorian pats Link’s shoulder.
“I want to know!” Link pushes him “I’m not 17! You can’t refuse my right to know!”
“Dorian I just want to know why there are blood-“
“Link what are you doing?” Zelda steps down from the chiefs houses steps.
Link looks at her, then at Dorian and smirks “Zelda you like archeology right?”
“Yes? Link you know that” She tilts her head
Dorian tenses up “Link don’t you really don’t want to-“
“Come on Zel” Link starts walking to the well. Trusting Link she fallows.
Once they’re down there Link lights touch, the fire revealing the blood stains on the wall. Zelda’s eyes light up, she instantly understands “the experiment…”
While Zelda talks Link listens he knows he shouldn’t question until she has it all figured out.
“I read about this once, though I didn’t think it to be true” Zelda guides Link further in, they see chains hanging from the ceiling. Her breath shutters, Link puts an arm around her waist, a silent reminder that he’s there an won’t let anything bad happen to her. “Over 10,000 years ago, before the Calamity, the technology, the Sheikah were used as police, the Royal Family… we’d let them do whatever they wanted to Hyrule’s worst prisoners”
Link nods “this was a torture chamber?”
“Yes” Zelda sighs “however from journals that were preserved, I found that a place, probably here, is where they experimented with eternal life…” she pauses thinking “they were cruel and evil experiments on life and as the technology developed they must has delve deeper into the idea-“ she freezes, then turns to Link, looking at his scars, the way his eyes shined differently then 100 years before, she looking at him closely as if he himself was the final piece that got lost in another puzzle box “the Shrine of Resurrection… you are that final result!”
Link, The Hero of Legend, whom started when he was 10, and has been working ever since. He can finally catch a break. He walks through his orchard, the one his uncle gave him in the will. Then right outside his house there is hibiscus bush, he buries the feelings of hurt, until a young man with green eyes an black hair throws the door open and runs up to hug Link, “Mr. Hero you’re back!” Ravio squeezes “I hope you don’t mind but I sold some apples”
“How much did you make?” Link scoffs
“How much do you want?” Ravio smirks. Both boys laugh. Through out the day Link noticed it was getting harder to hide his hurt, Ravio noticed it to but didn’t know how to talk about it. “Do you want to make an apple pie?” Ravio asks, his voice uncharacteristically gentle.
Link knew that making the pie would be difficult, it’s hard as it is to hide, but with the recipe his Uncle used to make with him. He nods anyways, it’s been awhile since Ravio had his pie, and Link knew he loved it, “sure”
“Yiss!” Ravio jumps up walking to the kitchen.
Link follows, as they prepare Link goes quiet.
Ravio clears his throat… “what was he like?” he asks pouring the flower into a bowl.
“He was… great” Link says passing the sugar “he taught me how to use the blade” Link sits up on the counter “mix slowly”
Ravio hums “How did he…?”
Link tenses “Ganon hypnotized the knights and they killed my Uncle” he takes a deep breath.
Ravio hums, there’s a long silence, the only sound being the soft mixing…
“Link are you okay?” Ravio rinses his hands and puts them on Link’s thighs.
“I…” he looks at Ravio, his eyes fearful “I don’t know” his voice cracks, “I’ve been pretending for so long I don’t know if I’m okay Rav”
Link nods, Ravio pulls him close, letting Link cling to him. “Let’s start from the beginning okay?” Ravio backs up and moves Link’s hair “we can continue baking while we do”
By the time the pie was done Link had finished his long story, they sit on the couch, each with their own plate.
“Thank you for telling me” Ravio scoots closer, resting his head on Link’s shoulder.
That was the best apple pie Link ever tasted.
Traveling through Hyrule is a hassle, food, clothing, weapons, arrows. It’s always a pain in the ass. But there Link was doing it like it was just a normal walk in Hateno. Epona at his side and some thing else rubbing on his calf. It’s cold, but also warm, Link looks down, a blupee, how? They hated being anywhere close to… anything. “Hey bud…?” Link kneels and pets the bright blue creature it leans into his hand before it hops once, Link stands up and takes a step. Then it nods and starts hoping away, Link took that as ‘follow me’ it takes him to the Eastern Palace Ruins, into a hidden room, something not even the best of archeologists had seen. There’s a fairy there, Link goes to grab it but the blupee bites him “ah! Ow! Okay I won’t grab her!” The blue bunny points him in the direction of a stained glass mural. Link grabs the Purah pad and snaps a photo, then he notices a plague with words he doesn’t understand. He knows exactly who would understand. He takes a photo of the Plague and the blupee seems to understand him and jumps on his shoulder, the fairy stays aimlessly wondering.
He calls Epona has she runs past him he jumps on and sprints as fast as he could to Lookout Landing. “ZELDA!!” Link yells running into the fort “where is she?” He barks out like an order.
“She’s in Dr. Purah’s office Sir Link-“ the guard on duty looks confused
Link bolts to the lad, the blupee clings to his neck, “ZEL YOURS NOT GONNA BELIEVE THIS!” Link throws the pad on the table
Zelda looks up. “Can’t you see we’re- is that a blupee??” Purah points at it.
“Zelda get your horse I found something”
When they get back Zelda gasps. She analyses, “Link how did you find this?”
Day 11: Dream/Nightmare version one
Twilight was finally given a chance to step down from being night watch. He dreamed of a day in Ordon, ordinary, basic, safe. Flirting with Ilia a bit, getting the cat out of the tree, throwing a goat or two, making pumpkin soup, and making sure the children were safe-
The children? The children weren’t there? Where are the children? Link went manic, flipping the town upside down. This had to be a cruel joke.
He entered Faron, a forest the the kids were forbidden from entering. He called for them, only to find Collin… “in a tree”
“COLLIN!” Twilight reaches forward only to be met with Time’s chest.
Time pulls him in “it’s okay, you’re okay”
Twilight hesitates, holding back tears. Heroes don’t cry, boys don’t cry. Men don’t cry. Link. Doesn’t. Cry. He feels warm smooth down the cold on his back. It’s Wild. Both his predecessor and successor hug him, knowing exactly what is going on. “Twi relax you need this” Wild grip on his brother tightens “please”
Twilight listens, letting it out.
Day 11: Dream/Nightmare ver 2
Memories, like water, fill every part of a persons mind. Almost as if the goddess herself was playing a cruel joke, those memories began to drip away. It started with faces, then names, then bodies, then places, the familiarity of everything gone. Link, if that was even his name, he doesn’t remember, was trapped in his own mind grieving something… someone? He didn’t even know that. He was stuck clutching his hair, not even sure of who he was, what he was. Dripping into insanity until he didn’t even know what that was anymore. He was just a piece of nothing.
Day 12: Obscure Character
Malon, the kind hearted farm girl. Whom managed to catch the eye of the hero with her sweet voice and stubborn words. He had proposed to her, her father had begrudgingly given him his blessing.
Now the two live happily together. She did most of the farm work because Link barely knew what he was doing half th time.
Malon started gaining weight, Link knew that, because she was insecure. No matter how much he tried to make her feel better she’d get defensive, or cry, sometimes both.
So when she found out that she was pregnant it was no surprise to her, when she told Link…
“Dear! Come inside for a minute!” She waves him in, he was trying to figure out how to heard cuccos without touching them.
“Yeah Darling?” He runs up “what do you need? I got it” he hugs her.
“Do you want to be a Dad?” Malon asks casually.
“…what*” he backs up a bit.
“Do you want to be a Dad?” She repeats.
Link gawks at her, after a long pause “I- you’re- we’re-“ his eyes light up “oh thank the goddesses green earth” he swiftly picks her up and spins her in a circle, “yes I want to be a dad”
He kisses her, she giggles into it, he laughs too, his hands on her waist, her hand holding his head, their foreheads pressed together, they laugh like they just met each other again.
“Rusl… do you know how Ordon started?” Link hugged his knees tight.
Rusl hummed looking at the sunset, wrapping an arm around Link’s shoulder, “three generations ago, a man took his wife and daughter here” he started “it was said that Faron Woods once held great magical properties…
Horse hooves clopped on the mud, a man walking next to her, a woman carrying a small baby in her gentle arms road on top of the horse.
Once they got through the dense forest, she dismounted, “oh Link this place is-“
“How did you find this village?”
“I grew up here, I’ve in that house. I figured sense we have Saria, we could start a village” he glides his hand along a tree, “will you do that with me Malon?”
“Yes” Malon kisses his cheek.
… Saria is your grandmother” Rusl sighed “however most of your family died when you were young”
“Ancestor” Link turned to look at Rus.
“The founder died how old?”
Link nods, then he leans into Rusl
Finally after so long Purah had developed a way for Hylians to stay underwater for long periods of time. Meaning Zelda could explore more than just depths, land, and sky. Purah made a tight fitted set suit, with a device that holds air without making it harder to dive deep. Of course Link has one too, Purah wouldn’t allow her to go alone.
They sail to the middle of the Faron Sea, “ready?” Link rubs her back.
“Yeah…!” She takes a deep breath.
“Wanna push me in?” Links head tilts, squeezing her shoulder. She giggles pushing the button on the back and shoves him in “AHH- ZELDA WAIT-“ slap-! Link breaks the surface “fuck my back-“
Zelda’s all out cackling, she pressing the button on her pack and dives in, she drags Link by the ankle, he wiggles out and dives to her level flipping her off, she gives it right back with a cheeky smile. Link rolls his eyes.
The Purah Pad had been tested to see if is working under water, Link pretty much confirmed it did by him and Sidon taking photos of them being men, banging rocks together under water cause it sounds funny.
Zelda and Link dive deeper and deeper until Link sees the top of a castle. He frantically taps Zelda’s shoulder. She turns looks at what Link is pointing at and gasps, instantly taking a photo. They swim to it getting through a window, they explore further. They both run their hands on the walls, Zelda takes photos, awh struck by this hidden beauty.
The boy in th purple robe sells things, that’s how most people knew Ravio. However there’s one who knows him more than that, more then just a coward, more then a merchant. Link did, Link knew him all too well.
He was on an adventure when he sends a letter to Ravio…
I know you’re selling my apples. Stop it.
He signs his name in cursive. Link and Ravio had this strange thing where they knew what they were doing. A week later Link got his response.
P.S. I’m sorry I’ll stop”
Link scoffs then folds it into a heart and sends it back
What did you think I was gunna write about those little shits
Link, the decorated captain who lead the military into the war across Eras. Arguably the most attractive man in Hyrule, which coincidentally lead to many petty battles. Now he was trapped in a ball, wearing far too much badges on his suit. His eyes wonder across the searching for a reason to leave this conversation, he tuned in out when the man said “woman should be obedient” which he knew first hand was wrong. He found his reason, she stood her gown flowing across the ball room. He leaves the other male, flipping her off.
“Her Majesty!” He smiles and bows “how is the dress?”
“Unnecessary tight on the waist” she smiles uncomfortably.
He holds his hand out “care to dance?” Link looks up “I can’t promise the dress will feel better, but I can promise you’ll smile”
She hums and takes his hand, he puts his hand under her shoulder in her gently guides her to the dance floor, he lets her dominate the attention from the nobles. She smiles absorbing the attention. He grabs her waist “breathe in” he instructs lifting her and spinning.
Her hands grip his shoulders, she laughs when she lands he dips her. “Your reckless” Zelda cups his face
“You make me reckless, Zel” he pulls her back up.
Zelda thought her birthday was definitely ruined forever. The Calamity hit on her birthday 100 years prior, there was no way she would ever feel special about it again.
Link thought overwise, be was going to make his best effort to make this happen, she’s going to have the best birthday he could give, the preparations begin 3 days before…
“Purah! You like research and shit, I found these ruins, can you take Zelda to them the day before her birthday, I have a camp ready for her tomorrow” Link smiles, doing finger guns Purah, then shoves the Purah Pad in her hands “great thanks! It’s marked on the map!” Link runs to the stable, getting his horse and dashing out, leaving Zelda in Lookout Landing.
Link races to Hateno, it’s 1AM when he arrives, he makes quick succession of of setting up several donated pots.
“Young man what are you doing?” Clavia knocks her head to the side.
“Ever since I saved Zel from the calamity she’s hated her birthday, so I figured if she breaks pots it will help her” Link turns excited.
Clavia giggles “your adorable, do you want to fill the pots with chalk for some color?”
Link’s eyes light up “fuck yes.”* Clavia takes him to the dye shop. After telling Sayge their plan he happily hands over the supplies, for a discounted fee, then Sayge tells a customer, then that customer tells a villagers and next thing Link knew the whole town was covered in pots filled with pots. Link realizes it’s around 6:30 and he needs to head out in order to pick up Zelda in time. “Thank you for all the help, can ai ask for one more favor?” He turns to the villagers “our house isn’t decorated” within seconds the villagers are off to decorate their house, thank Hylia it’s clean.
Link hops on Epona “okay girl are you ready” he pats her neck “get me to Zelda” he gently kicks her sides, without hesitation Epobe launches into a Gallop, Link doesn’t expect this but he welcomes it’s with open arms, gently guiding Epona “good gurl” he ruffles her mane. She seems to be just as excited as he is.
When he arrives at the spot he sent Purah and Zelda they just got to sleep Link helps Epona get comfortable, and snatches the Purah Pad back from Purah, then makes his way to Zelda. He gently moves hair from her face.
“Hnnn?” Zelda’s eyes open a little “Link?”
“The one and only” he spoons her.
“Purah how the hell are you up?” Link looks up from the fire.
“Says you, scientifically I don’t need sleep” Purah shrugs
“What-* I’m not going to ask. Can you take Epona back to a stable? I’m gonna teleport Zelda to Lynayru”
“Ah yes remind her of the very thing that ruined everything huh?”
“No she’s asleep, I’m carrying her”
“I’m carrying her to Hateno form the top of Mt. lynayru”
“You’re crazy” Purah scoffs
“Crazy, probably” he picks up the Purah Pad, tap something, picking Zelda up “in love, definitely” the two teleport.
“Goddess I owe Urbosa so much money” Purah rolls eyes “hey Epp” she smooths the horses mane.
(Skip I’m write dumping I know)
Surprisingly Zelda slept through the entire walk, they make it to the bottom of the hill “Zel! Zel! Wake up” he shakes her awake.
“Hu? Link??” She rubs her eyes “where am I?”
“Outside Hateno, I need you awake for this” He shakes her head “wakey wakey”
She laugh “okay! I’m up!”
“Good!” He takes her hand and runs up the hill.
The very second they enter Hateno, pots are broken, releasing beautiful bursts of color splash across town “Happy Birthday!!!” They all scream.
Zelda gasps “I’m awake now!” She watches the colors dance across the air.
Link drop kicks a pot, it puffs out green chalk “Try it Zelda!”
She snatches Links bow “throw one up!” Link tosses it she shoots it with pin point accuracy, it explodes into blue chalk.
The rest of the night of the night is filled with song, life, colors, and dancing. When the party is over the Sun had long past gone down. They walk to their home, lanterns make a soft warm glow around the house, Zelda gasps “oh this is amazing” right at the front door she wraps her arms around Link’s neck, he puts one arm around her waist and the other to open the door, inside, flowers decorate the nearly every surface, “did you do this?”
“No they did, I asked them while I was gone to decorate to save some time” Link answers honestly.
Zelda’s melts more, she’s more then mush inside “thank you, Love”
Link smiles kissing her “Happy Birthday, Zelda”
Day 21 - 24: skipped (burn out)
Ever since Midna left Link’s been quieter, ‘less fun’ as the children would say. Of course, it’s hard to explain what happened to him, and have people believe him. So what’s the point of even trying.
Link sits at the spring letting the water soak him, th hour is twilight and it’s getting close to golden then dusk. But right now Link bathes like somehow the fading like could hold him like she did. He falls back in the water, it reminds him of th two separate worlds, one can’t exist without the other but they also cannot cross. He would fight in the greatest calamity to get her back. He looks the his side longing to his shadow, only for it to be merged with another.
“Link, what’re you doin’?” Her voice is soft and sweet, the Ordanian accent adding a nice whiskey burn.
“Nothin, don’t worry about it, Ilia” he sits up, his hair wet and a little tangled.
“You’re a horrible liar, what’s wrong?” She sits next to him.
“You wouldn’t get it” he turns his head away.
“I’d like to” she rests her head on his shoulder “I’ll believe you even if no one else did”
She sits outside, feet dangling in a water. She reads through a historia. The book is titled ’Zelda’ she knew is it was a family name, but all her predecessors, they seem so glorious.
Each chapter starts with an ink drawing of the princess, the one she on depicts the princess wielding a sword tipping it down. It described her as a kind leader, she was Princess Ligent during the Twilight Invasion, she was forced to surrender but aided in the final battle to save her kingdom. Zelda looked at those words, forced to surrender* she knows what that’s like. She gazes back at the drawing of her, she traces her face, “it’s not your fault” a power yet gentle voice rings.
“What?” She looks up and around, not seeing anything or anyone.
Day 27 - 29: (skipped Finals prep fuck school)
Zelda always kept a high standard, getting up early to start her hair, then change, the princess kept a tight schedule while her knight and partner was the complete opposite. Link never has a schedule, sure he has a list of things to do, but he’ll get to it when he does. He’s free spirited, and she ends up having to force him to take care of himself.
“Link, when was the last time you brushed your hair?” Zelda looks at his untamed hair.
“I… uhh… I don’t remember” He flops in the bed next to her.
“Goddess” she snatches her hair “sit on the floor in front of me” she shoves him down.
“Zel- Babe please don’t” Link looks up begging “please no- Ow!” She brushed
By the end of it Link’s hair went down to his mid-back. “It’s this long?” Link runs his hand through it.
“Yes but it’s dirty come on” Zelda drags him outside, filling up a bucket with water “lay here” she point. Link’s at her mercy at this point so he has no choice. She washes his hair, he almost falls asleep to her rubbing the soap in. “Hey” her soapy hand flicks his nose “no sleeping”
“Bless you” she laughs “you have a funny sneeze”
They fall into comfortable silence, when Zelda’s done she dries his hair and brushes it out again, somehow it’s longer. She braids it, Link does some battle poses to make her laugh.
Day 31: FREE FOR ALL FUCK YEAHHHHH
Link has done it again, he’s planning something, that’s never a good sign. Somehow he managed to stay under the princess’s raydar which is even scarier.
“Hey Zelda I’m going out for a bit, I’ll be back in the morning” Link grabs the Purah pad
“Another day with Sidon?”
“Yeah…” he smiles, sneaking a kiss
“Alright have fun, I’ll be at the lab when you come back” she rubs his arms “I love you”
“Love you too” He snatches his bow and leaves waving behind him.
He buys a few things from the general store an fast travels to Zora’s domain
“Sidon! Do you the stuff?”
Zelda walks to the school. She’s wearing a simple dress. “Good morning class”
“Link is busy in Zora’s Domain, he’s with King Sidon”
He fast travels to Gerudo town, he walks through without protest
She walks from the school to the lab.
He watches them make something
She helps solder metals to build a machine.
She sleeps over at the lab
He fast travels back to Hateno, walking home to grab a few things. Then walks to the lab saying hi to the villagers. When he opens the door to the technical laboratory Zelda stops working lifting her glasses up and looks at him.
“Right on time” She sits up taking the goggles off and wiping the sweat off hr brow.
“Damn I wanted to watch to work” Link walks over her “it’s hot”
“Oh-! Oh you flirt!” she playfully pushes him.
“Come on change into your normal clothes” Link smiles “I want to take you somewhere”
With Link guiding her, they both make their way up tuff mountain, both in complete silence. Once at the top, he takes his shirt off and gets in the water, his hand in his pocket. They float there in the heart shape pool. When that got out Link summoned towels, a blanket, and food. They dry off and change, Link throwing on new pants and a Hylian tunic, Zelda putting on a simple sun dress.
“Ah ah, eat the soup first” Link laughs
“You’re evil” She pokes his shoulder.
They eat in silence, Link seemingly anxious. Zelda looks at him “Dear? Your fidgeting” she takes his hand “is everything alright”
Link looks at her standing up “come on” still holding her hand Link takes her further up the peak.
At the top Links arm is wrapped around her waist, he fidgets with her dress. They watch the sunset, Link whispers ‘here goes’ takes a deep breath.
“Zelda, do you remember when I first saved you we went to Zora’s domain, and I got that memory of Mipha?”
“That was the first time I felt safe enough to, you let me. My point is you make me like myself more”
“I know, what are you on about?”
“Or when you dug through historical records to find my birthday, and you couldn’t find it so you forced the librarian to let you see the medical records”
“Yeah I got in trouble for that cause she didn’t let me and I stole. Worth it”
“And when I remember my Mother and Sister, you held me through that grief”
“I love you, Zelda, and I have no right to ask this, seeing as I am just a knight” he hand comes off her waist and he kneels, Zelda turns gasping.
“Please be asking what I think you’re asking”
Link reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small box “Zelda Hyrule, will you marry me?” He opens the box. Silver, luminous stone from the Zora’s Domain, Diamond from Death Mountain, and Gerudo craftsmanship. Zelda cries nodding frantically
“yes!” She gets down and hugs him, he places the box down carefully and hugs her back soothing her tears.
He picks up the box and guides her to her feet then slips the ring on her head, she holds it up and cries more, “this is more then I dreamed of” she holds his face with the other hand, her ringed hand taking his. Link kisses her.
“SIDON SHE SAID YES!!!” Link runs to him
“FUCK YES” Sidon pumps his fist up “TELL EVERYONE”
The information spread like wildfire, Hudson construction started rapid recovery of castle.
