Link chuckles. “Well, there was someone I care about to save after all.” He said softly.

“Come on, Impa’s gonna want to see you. And you should get a chance to meet her granddaughter Paya.”

She stool with her back to the crumbling castle.

“That’s it then… he’s gone… it’s- done.” Zelda breathes a sigh of relief. Turning back to Link.

“I have to ask… do you really remember me?”

@she-who-rules

“Yes. At least the important parts.” Link admitted thoughtfully. “When I was named champion, your…dislike of me, me saving you from the Yiga, the King scolding you, your frustrations, that final fight…” Link trailed off. “I went to all the places you photographed in the Sheikah Slate. It helped.”

[ask-legendary-hero]

“I am.” He said giving her a gentle smile. “It’s got almost everything we need. Just need to stock up the pantry. And the well has a nice cave at the bottom that’d be perfect for a new laboratory, or just a quiet place to get away.”

He then looks over at their horses. “I know they’d like it. Got plenty of grass for grazing.” He added with a chuckle.

She stool with her back to the crumbling castle.

“That’s it then… he’s gone… it’s- done.” Zelda breathes a sigh of relief. Turning back to Link.

“I know. I can’t take you back to the castle though.” He said sadly. “Maybe after a few years of repairs we can. But not yet.”

“Would…would you be willing to call my house home?” He asked hesitantly.

She stool with her back to the crumbling castle.

“That’s it then… he’s gone… it’s- done.” Zelda breathes a sigh of relief. Turning back to Link.

“He tortured you didn’t he?” Link guessed, reading her expression.

“It’s me Zel.” He said gently taking her hand and putting it on his cheek so she could feel that it’s actually him. “And I promise you. I won’t allow anything to happen to you ever again.”

She stool with her back to the crumbling castle.

“That’s it then… he’s gone… it’s- done.” Zelda breathes a sigh of relief. Turning back to Link.

“Here, eat this.” He said giving her a small loaf of bread that he made just before going to the castle. “It’s got nuts and seeds in it. Should fill you up until we get to Hateno. Then I’ll make you a proper meal.” He offered with a small smile.

She stool with her back to the crumbling castle.

“That’s it then… he’s gone… it’s- done.” Zelda breathes a sigh of relief. Turning back to Link.

“No one’s lived in Central Hyrule for a century.” He began, sounding like he’s giving an official military report. “That’s largely due to the Guardians. The Gerudo, Zora, Rito, and Gorons were mostly unaffected by the Calamity. Until the Divine Beasts returned and rampaged that is. Hateno, Kakriko, and Lurlin villages are flourishing.” He finished.

He then gave an awkward chuckle. “I actually bought a house in Hateno village. And helped build a town in the Akkala region.”

She stool with her back to the crumbling castle.

“That’s it then… he’s gone… it’s- done.” Zelda breathes a sigh of relief. Turning back to Link.

[ask-legendary-hero]

“Hey.” He said gently. “There were times I doubted myself. But the thought of you needing me kept me going.” He said reassuringly as he hugged her back.

“And I couldn’t have done it alone.” He added. “I made so many friends during this adventure. Like Sidon, Mipha’s little brother!”

She stool with her back to the crumbling castle.

“That’s it then… he’s gone… it’s- done.” Zelda breathes a sigh of relief. Turning back to Link.

“Storm, buddy, you alright?” Link asked walking over and started trying to calm down the horse.

“Maybe it saw a predator? Or a monster?” Ganondorf asked, looking around and keeping a hand on his katana.

“Still haven’t seen Storm this spooked ever.” Link muttered walking slowly forward to try to pat the horse.

“Come on, I know a perfect hiding place.” The visiting prince, Ganondorf said laughing lightly as he guided Zelda through some thick trees near the castle. “We found on our way to the castle.”

Meanwhile, Link had snuck away from the stables with a homemade wooden sword, and was practicing some of the moves he saw the knights practicing.

“Perfect for what? Stop moving so quickly I’m not as tall as you!” Zelda pants as she rushes after him.

“Gan! You’re going to pull my arm off!”

[ask-legendary-hero]

“Let me have some mystery Zelda.” Link said dejectedly.

“They study magic and potion brewing.” Ganondorf said thoughtfully. “They know recipes and spells that have been long forgotten.”

“You’ll have to tell me how the visit went later.” Link said sadly. “I…don’t know how to describe it, I feel like I need to go to Kakariko Village.”

“Alright. If you’re sure Link.” Ganondorf said sadly.

“My mothers were always different from other Gerudo. They weren’t warriors, they’re scholars.” Ganondorf admitted. “They’re eccentric, but I think they’ll love you.” He said squeezing her shoulder reassuringly.

As they exited the forest Link is there already. Wearing his new green tunic and is brushing the horses. “Hey guys, you ready to go?”

“How in the name of Hylia did you get here first?!” Ganondorf asked surprised.

“Skill.”

“Come on, I know a perfect hiding place.” The visiting prince, Ganondorf said laughing lightly as he guided Zelda through some thick trees near the castle. “We found on our way to the castle.”

“Once I got over the drooling string bean it was fine.” Ganondorf said with a chuckle. “He muttered a bit in his sleep. At one point he said ‘Demise, I’m your demise.’” Ganondorf said still chuckling, although for some reason he feels almost irrationally angry just thinking of that line.

[ask-legendary-hero]

“Thanks Zelda.” He said putting his arm around her shoulders. He’s trying not to show it, but the woods scare him. “Where’s Link?” He asked looking around.

“Come on, I know a perfect hiding place.” The visiting prince, Ganondorf said laughing lightly as he guided Zelda through some thick trees near the castle. “We found on our way to the castle.”

[ask-legendary-hero]

“Yes. Please, let’s get back to the castle.” Ganondorf said walking straight out of the grove.

“Would you two like to use the secret exit? It’s quicker.” A Korok offered.

“His face would be funny if we got out before him.” Link pointed out with an amused smirk.

“I’ll head to Kakariko.” Link said in agreement. “Make a backup plan with Impa.”

“Very well.” The Deku tree said. “Now, I must rest…” With that the Deku Tree returned to his slumber.

“I swear, you lot are worse than children.” Ganondorf grumbled walking back into the clearing, giggling Koroks following behind him. “There wasn’t one stuck in a tree. They just wanted me to play a game with them.”

[ask-legendary-hero]

“I know. I don’t like it, every bit of me wants to be with you.” He said kissing her forehead. “But I know. And I think the plan might work.”

“It is a risky plan.” The Deku Tree said, causing Link to jump out of his skin in surprise. “However I agree with Link. The plan might work. It will be difficult however, forces conspire to bring out his more demonic side. You must be vigilant Princess.”

“That we have feelings for each other? Yes.” Link said seriously, struggling to not think about Zelda’s lips. “He and I talked about it a year ago, and I said I wouldn’t interfere with your relationship. Now if you’re asking about his past lives…I don’t think he knows about those.”
