PRELUDE TO A KISS PREORDERS ( @preludekisszine ) ARE OPEN! Here's a little preview to my piece! :) We love Adventure of Link Zelink!

Prompt: Presence

The Light Dragon's mane was both a cloud and sea of gold. It shimmered in the sun and bent to the wind much like straw, but it was silk against his palms and between his fingers. In spite of this— in spite of the bottled sun that must have created its body— the soft glow that danced against the scales was all but ethereal. Its gorgeous eyes of green gathered tears Link recognized: the tired eyes at the end of a day's travels, the gathered dewdrops of a morning begun early by nightmares. He hadn't been able to explain it before. But now he was burdened with the consequences that rippled backward, as one lost grip suddenly meant forever. Why was fate so cruel? How could it strip Zelda of everything that she knew was herself, but leave just enough pieces for him to see her there? Was she really nestled deep within that dragon's soul? Or were the echoes of his own memories painting her upon it?

Prompt: Blade

“Your heart rate has accelerated. Master, I advise you to reach a stopping point and rest.” Fi hovered just a little closer, as if to scan for any other potential health concerns. Link awkwardly shuffled to the side, the sword's true body still pointed ahead. “I'm not sick. I'm… just excited?” “Your reaction is quite strong. Did learning the dowsing ability cause a fear response? Learning should not be frightening.” “Not a fear response.” Link pursed his lips. He gazed ahead, where through the trees his sword whispered of a trace— a mere echo of his closest friend. “It's just… It's… Zelda.”

The Mage's Lantern: Chapter 9

✻ ⊰ The Lady of Kakariko ⊱ ✻

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Link and Zelda follow Arn's instruction and find Kakariko Village, where they are instructed to meet with the town's mysterious Lady Impa.

Forget Me Not

Even when adventure and war comes to an end, some are unable to find peace. Link sets out on the sea in hopes of grasping it; but the fleeting dreams of a life he never lived only served as a vibrantly-colored mirror.

Chapter 6: Dreams Will Fade

Link and Zelda share a melody of awakening.

Hey everyone! Serenade of Time starts in a few days, and while I'm still on hiatus on my other blogs, I'll be posting SoT stuff throughout the next week!

On another note, I finished Age of Imprisonment! I loved the characters and gameplay a whole lot, but not so much some of the narrative directions. ^^" So, after SoT week is over, I'm gonna be rewriting some of the cutscenes as a writing warmup. Thaaaat being said...

Drop which AoI cutscenes I should rewrite in my ask box! Or maybe just simple prompts for what other storybeats you don't think got enough time! (Pretty loose on this, it just has to be AoI!)

I'll be posting them every so often as little drabbles here on Tumblr. ^^ Fire away!

#i got so many ideas but no idea what order to write them in #not writing #nocturne's yapping #not art #update #age of imprisonment #hw age of imprisonment #writing requests #rewrite #the legend of zelda #legend of zelda
