“Please don’t come inside. You will live to regret it.”

Pamela peeks her head out from the door of her little music box home, trying not to stare too hard into the eyes of the very scary-looking mask. She already has trouble getting over her fear of Gibdos, the Moon is falling, and now there’s a weird creature with a mask...

“Do not. Come inside.”

headcanon: what are the crests?

Before the War for the Surface, the Golden Goddesses, knowing Hylia alone could not completely protect the Triforce, gifted their power to a few select individuals. This power was absorbed into the blood of its recipients, giving them enhanced physical and magical abilities. The presence of this power was made known by a mark somewhere on the body, referred to as a Crest.

Hylia would receive the power of all three of the Golden Goddesses in her blood, making her a true force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. The Gerudo Chief at the time received the Crest of Din, taking the step into the unknown by accepting a goddess’s power. Hylia’s Chosen Hero received the Crest of Farore, giving him the resilience and unwavering strength needed to defeat Demise. This crest would later become the mark of the Knights of Hyrule and their divine bloodline from which many heroes would emerge.

When Hylia shed her divinity and became mortal, only the Crest of Nayru remained, which would become the mark of the divine blood of the Royal Family of Hyrule. 

This power could be inherited, and the Crests were passed on through the generations. Only one instance is known in which both the Crest of Farore and the Crest of Nayru were present in members of the Royal Family- the few generations following the union of the Hero of Time and Zelda Elizabeth Hyrule.

Because the Crests were initially absorbed into the blood through divine ritual, their power dwindled over time. Desperate situations meant that the Goddesses could no longer require the hero to possess the Crest- such was the case with the Hero of Winds.

(Note that you do not have to adopt this headcanon if you don’t want to- I am flexible with this and can change it so that it only applies to my muses.)

jim stood, staring down at the flyer in his hand after hearing the announcement greeting the guests. “g-grooseland.” he muttered before glancing around. “it’s impressive, though, man, this puts fyre’s cannon to shame.” 

“It’s a bit of a silly name, to be quite honest... but it seems... rather fun.” The sorceress muses aloud, eyes darting around the woods in search of the Statue of the Goddess. The engineers did an awfully good job at obscuring the landscape, much to Cia’s frustration.

“We’ve both... come from a long way.”

“The hatred you hold for me in your hearts... all of it is justified.” Hylia does not often respond to the anger and pain of those below her, for she has long since abdicated her responsibility after placing her divine power in the hands of a mortal. But the cries echo especially loudly today, and from the spirit realm a voice flows into the ears of those in the world of light.

“Nothing I can say or do will fully absolve me of my sins. I hope... you will be able to find peace.”

Here he comes…..

The Goddess knew the source of that voice when the simple prayer reached the heavens- it was the reincarnation of her beloved chosen hero. The poor soul had been through so much, enduring the worst pain and darkness imaginable, and now came a cry for help, a request for a delicious meal. Beef stew, to be exact.

Hylia rarely got involved in the affairs of mortals after she abdicated to Zelda her responsibility as guardian of the Triforce. But the request was something she was uniquely capable of fulfilling, it was a wish she granted to her chosen hero long ago as he healed from the wounds of his imprisonment. Furthermore, Hylia knew Farore would surely not get involved herself to answer this fervent prayer.

And so Hylia descended from the heavens before the Hero of Time, her raiment shimmering with a divine light; in her hands was a bowl of beef stew, just as the hungry hero had requested.

“I am the Goddess Hylia... the guardian of the Spirit Realm,” her voice echoed, a voice gentle and yet powerful enough to stop time itself. “I have been sent by the gods of old to grant this wish to you... please accept this gift.”

The Goddess held out the bowl, the delightful smell overpowering and inviting as it wafted through the open air.

Another skirmish with a demon battalion, perhaps one that Demise had sent as a scout- and Hylia had managed to dispatch it quickly without needing to send the knights. It bought her valuable time, but some of her wounds risked becoming infected with malice. To purify herself, she decided to bathe under the waterfalls of the Skyview Spring, the divine waters healing her wounds and making her stronger.

As the water washed over her body, soaking her dress, her scales began to show underneath her skin, glowing with a radiant light. Her ears transformed into wing shapes; her nails formed into claws. A tail faded into view from her back, curling around her body; horns appeared from her head, pointed and regal. And most impressive of them all, grand, sturdy wings emerged from her shoulders, sparkling from the droplets of water. Her body was very much still human-like, but the healing process revealed the draconic power that rested within her, in the form of the Crest of Nayru.

Footsteps echoed behind her, and although Hylia did hear them, she did not attempt to hide her form from the visitor. For she knew that this was Link, her Chosen Hero, the one mortal she trusted most in all the world. Surely, he would understand the power required of a Goddess to protect her people.

So she turned to face Link, a relaxed expression on her face atop faded scaly skin. “It’s alright, Link... you may come closer,” her voice echoed, sweet and inviting. “I promise you are not interrupting anything. In truth... I have wanted you to see me like this for quite some time.”

redvirtue:

Though he lays in comfort of a bed that he has so long yearned for, his mind does not feel at ease, eyes glossy as he is deep in thought. It is almost a relief to have been pulled away from that, as he turns to the unexpected, but welcomed visitor. “Ah, no need to apologize, your grace. I quite prefer the company.” Just the gentle heaving of her breath felt comforting as opposed to the suffocating silence just moments ago. 

Feeling the heat of the soup as it placed besides him, he returns the gratitude with a weak, yet sincere smile. “Thank you.” A pause. 

“Please, take a seat if you wish. After all, you’ve come all this way.” He gestures to a seat beside him. It wouldn’t feel right to send her off. Though if she did not wish to stay, he would not force her either, regardless of how he felt. 

With hands so slender and delicate, he then slides the tray over to his lap. The intense fragrance hits him in seconds, causing his stomach to coil inward. However, he pushes through the initial nausea, having slowly gotten back into the habit of eating properly.

“You are very kind, Link... I shall accept the invitation to stay.”

A gentle smile forms, and Hylia’s worried expression softens- it will be a difficult road to recovery, but it is during this precious time together that Hylia can forget about her duty, at least for a little while. Link’s kindness, his adoration for his home and the people of the land- these admirable qualities have not been undone by his imprisonment. All seems to be going well, and the power Link needs to fight against the demon king will soon be gifted to him.

So perhaps, in this moment of respite, the goddesses can allow her this brief moment in time to grow closer with her Chosen Hero, and give him someone else to fight for. With that in mind, she sits at Link’s side, warm light radiating from her form. Hylia stays quiet for a while, preparing her thoughts, her heart pounding from nervousness. She refuses to burden Link with the question too soon- but eventually, her curiosity can no longer wait.

“If I may ask... what compelled you to bid me stay?” she asks, with an almost childlike inquisitiveness in her voice, while at the same time carrying a bit of uncertainty; is this an appropriate question? she thinks to herself. “To explain... I have an unsteady feeling in my heart when you enter my thoughts, though it is pleasant rather than distressing.” She hopes this explanation is enough, for the nuances of human emotions do not come naturally to her, much to her frustration.

“I wish to understand more about this feeling,” she requests, her voice gentle, not insisting, but still pleading all the same. “You must understand... my heart longs for answers, and you, Link, are the source of its questions.”
