LU Zelink marriages head canons, go!

Alright, let’s see...

Time and Twilight are excluded here because Time has Malon, and Twilight is heavily implied to be interested in Ilia (plus the whole Midna mess) so he’s not here either.

...And before anybody gets on my case, Legend and Fable aren’t siblings here! Them being siblings is just a headcanon! They’re not related here!

We good? Good.

Anyways, this got long so I’m putting it under the cut.

For Sky and Sun... I think Skyloft has a lot of traditions and things, so their wedding would have a lot of that. Everybody on Skyloft attends I’m sure, plus the handful of friends Sky and Sun made on the surface, the kikwi’s and mole guys (who’s names I’m not remembering at the moment) and all. They probably have the wedding somewhere in Faron, as the first wedding on the Surface Grooseland and it’s a very happy affair :)

Once Four is old enough to get married, I think his and Dot’s wedding is a lot like Sky’s: lots of tradition, but not too big of an event, lots of family and friends (and people they have to invite because it’s technically a royal wedding 🙄). The minish probably help in all sorts of little ways, with any food and little details on Dot’s dress. Her and Four probably aren’t nearly serious enough during the ceremony, and a couple of people are scandalized. They don’t care a bit.

Wind has a while to go before he’s old enough to really get married, but I think him and Tetra make it a pretty small deal. Tetra suggested eloping but she was mostly kidding. Mostly. They probably have the ceremony on the ship, but dock it at Outset so they can have the party afterwards there without running out of room. It takes them a while to find someone to officiate (you can’t officiate your own wedding, Tetra) Makar and Medli do the music, and Tingle probably invites himself.

Legend, after he accepts that Marin is gone and lets himself love again (...it probably takes a while), would probably prefer a pretty small wedding. Fable is all for it (I’m sure she’d hate a fuss), so they have a quiet wedding in the apple orchard by Legend’s house. Ravio somehow ends up making money off of it, and probably gives Legend one of his own items as a wedding gift.

Hyrule, no matter which Zelda it is that he’s in love with (I certainly don’t have any clue XD) does not want a big wedding. Of course, he somehow ends up with one anyways because he’s marrying a princess and especially if you add in the whole “destined to be king” thing he possibly has it’s probably a wedding and a coronation, so it’s a Big Deal. Poor Hyrule is an absolute mess of nerves.

Warriors and Artemis almost elope. They very much consider just booking it from the castle for a week or two to get married then come back, so they can skip the whole fuss and political nonsense that comes with a royal wedding, but Impa keeps giving them glares so she’d probably stop them. So they put up with the whole spectacle of everything, then very much enjoy a quiet honeymoon.

Wild... I’m a little hesitant to say much about since I haven’t played totk yet (no spoilers!!!) and am not quite sure how things have changed between him and Flora (if at all). But either way, I think they probably try to have a nice quiet wedding, then have a bigger party afterwards. Probably a little like Rhondson and Hudson’s wedding, it’s just a small affair. Then a big party and everything afterwards where they invite everyone they can, everybody Wild’s met and helped over the years.

Heard you wanted Zelink

I offer you this

Feel free to ignore if you want this kinda got long lol

Hope you have a good day 😊

~~~~

“Hey. ‘S been a while since you passed out after a portal.” He says upon noticing Four’s eyes open.

“Has it now?” Four mutters, rubbing his eyes.

Standing, he offers the smith a hand. But Four’s not even paying attention, looking at the snowy dusting on the ground, the flakes falling gently from the sky.

Four smiles.

Not just a smile, it’s a giddy grin showing his teeth, eyes brighter than the snow around them.

Then he’s on his feet, sprinting through the gates even as he slips on ice and bursts through the castle doors.

“Uh…”

Time smiles, heading after him.

They all follow, making hushed bets under their breaths.

Then Four tears past them in the opposite direction, screaming, a young woman chasing behind him and shouting threats even as she laughs. Snow drips off of her face.

Time laughs, shaking his head. They follow again, now blatantly making bets.

“She’s gonna kick his ass. Fifty rupees.”

“No way am I taking that bet-”

“I’ll take it!”

“Don’t, he doesn’t have the money.”

Laughter.

“A yellow rupee says that she kicks his ass then they have a make out session.”

A scoff.

“The Smith? No way.”

“He’s like, sixteen! Hormonal teenager!”

“As far as we know he’s twenty!”

“No way in hell is he twenty!”

“He’s gone to a bar and got alcohol, he can’t be under twenty.”

“Oh, like anyone waits until they’re actually twenty to drink.”

“Boys, boys. Enough.” Time says, then grins mischievously. “That yellow rupee plus a purple one that that make out session is how they get together.”

They watch Four burst out the castle doors, laughing in a way that they’ve never heard from him before, pleading for mercy as a girl who has to be Zelda follows him out and screams for him to get back here.

~~~~

On the castle grounds, Dot continues her chase of him. A laugh tears from his throat as he slips on a patch of ice, and she makes a lunging tackle that sends them both to the ground.

Him on his back in the snow, still laughing as snow falls on his face, her landing painfully on his stomach.

He swears he’s never felt more alive.

“Sorry!” She laughs, moving to look at him.

Not climbing off of him.

“Are you ok?”

He nods, still laughing too hard to reply properly. He didn’t even realize how much he missed her.

She laughs again then, neither of them moving at all.

Snow dusts her hair, little drops of water clinging to her eyelashes. Her cheeks are bright red from the cold, or possibly the snow he threw in her face. Definitely not from their rather awkward position. Nope. Definitely not. It’s because her face is cold.

Her blue eyes find his hazel ones, and everything else disappears. It all seems natural in a way that nothing else does.

He leans up on an elbow as she leans down. They both pause. “I missed you.” She whispers.

“I missed you more.”

“Nuh uh.”

“Yeah huh.”

It’s not so much a kiss as they’re both laughing still, but they make it work.

And then they make it work better when she climbs off of him and he sits up.

For a second, she is the only real thing in this world. The only relevant thing in life.

Then one of his friends whistles loudly, and they spring apart. He feels his ears flushing as he lays back on the ground, tugging his mitten off to give them a middle finger. Dot’s laughter makes it worth the merciless teasing he’s going to get for this.

~~~~

“I could be beheaded for this.” He laughs, knowing it would never happen. From the look Dot shoots him, she knows it’d never happen too.

“If you don’t want to-”

“It’s fine, it’s fine.”

And he tugs his boots and over tunic off, sitting next to her on the bed.

“Somehow, I thought this would be less awkward,” she says finally, laying down.

He laughs. “Thought about this a lot?”

“Link!”

But she’s laughing, throwing an arm around him when he lays down too.

He wraps an arm around her, too, pulling her closer when she nestles up to his chest.

For- for warmth. Of course.

“Relax, Link, we’re fine.” She says softly.

Right. They’re fine. She’s fine, he’s fine, that’s all that matters right now.

So he nods, pressing his lips to the top of her head.

“Yeah. Good night.”

He feels her smile. “G’night.”

~~~~

“Good morning.” He says softly, pausing the little braid he’s been making in her hair.

Dot’s green eyes look up at him, blearily and half asleep. He smiles.

She manages a sleepy grin.

“Don’t stop.” She says softly, closing her eyes again and shifting closer to him.

So he resumes the tiny braid, then starts another one.

She’s got seventeen and a half tiny braids in her hair by the time a guard knocks on her door and wakes her up for a meeting at court.

“I have to go.” She mumbles, making no move whatsoever to get up.

“I know.” He says softly, finishing the tiny braid. Eighteen. His fingers itch to start another one.

“Maybe the princess has taken ill today.”

Screw it. He starts braid number nineteen.

“With a terrible headache, right?”

“And horrible stomach pain.” She smiles.

“That would look horribly suspicious.” He muses. “She spends the night with her friend and then she’s mysteriously taken ill the next day.”

With a long sigh, she shifts slightly. He lets her go reluctantly.

“A maid will be here soon. I don’t know if you want to leave or not, but it’s up to you.”

He sighs, sitting up too and climbing off the bed. “I’ll go.” He sighs. He really doesn’t need any more rumors about him going around.

“How long will court take?”

She pauses, thinking. “It’s a simple petition case, someone who’s jailed is asking for another look at his case. It should be rather short.”

“Alright.” He yawns, pulling his boots on and then his tunic. She sits next to him, gently nudging his face so he looks at her.

Her hands cup his cheeks, thumbs brushing the dark circles under his eyes.

“I’m fine.” He says softly. “I know they look bad but-”

“What happened?” She asks quietly, fingers now tracing down his cheek.

“Just… long nights.” He shrugs. “On the ground, early mornings, hard fights… it’s… exhausting.”

“Did you sleep last night?”

He shrugs awkwardly. “Yeah, a little.”

She offers him a small smile.

“It’s not even the worst part of this… adventure.” He mutters.

“Don’t tell me that.” Dot says, eyes snapping open to look at him again.

He forces a laugh, and she relaxes.

“The worst part is being away from you, of course.” He says, smiling.

She smiles back, shaking her head.

Then it fades, and she’s leaning towards him and he’s leaning towards her and their foreheads touch briefly.

“I wish…”

She’s so close to him that her lips gently brush his with the words he really can’t focus on.

The door bursts open without warning, and they spring apart with a jolt. But not before the suddenly very sheepish maid saw them.

Dot laughs nervously, covering her face with her hands. He groans, half laughing too.

So much for no rumors.

~~~~

He makes it about halfway through the day solely off of caffeine. Not sleeping is much easier when you’re moving all day.

But when he’s laying around, reading or talking to people? Yeah, they notice quickly when he starts dozing off doing random things.

“Four.” Legend says after he jolts himself awake for the fifth time and rubs his eyes. “Go to sleep.”

“ ‘m fine.” He mumbles, eyes drooping again.

“Didn’t sleep well? Figured you would, you’re home after all.”

“Yeah… guess that’s the problem.” He mutters, leaning his head on Legend’s shoulder.

The vet frowns at him.

He shrugs awkwardly, eyes closing. “It sucks being here knowing I’ll just have to leave again.”

“Oh.” Leg says understandingly, nodding.

But before he can respond, someone comes in and says the king’s summoning him.

And the king asks him to do a few things before he leaves.

And despite how he really doesn’t want to… he agrees.

Because he’s the hero, dammit, he does whatever is asked of him. Despite quitting being a knight years ago, he still does whatever his king pleases.

With a long sigh, he goes to try to find Dot, but she’s not in the library or her room.

And then he’s exhausted.

He doesn’t bother with the other things he was going to do, just flops down on Dot’s bed even though she isn’t in here and lets his eyes drift closed.

Five minutes, he tells himself. Five minutes he’ll let himself rest and then he’ll get up and go deal with whatever it was the king told him to do.

Next thing he knows, a door clicks quietly and he’s groggily forced into awareness.

“Shh, sorry, go back to sleep.” Someone says softly.

Gentle hands rub his back lightly, a blanket being placed over him.

He can't even protest, body pulling him back into sleep as whoever sits next to him on the bed.

Next time, it’s with gentle fingers ruffling his hair, soft humming coming from the person next to him.

Dot.

He shifts slightly to look up at her, smiling sleepily when she looks at him. She smiles back.

He shifts closer to her, blinking groggily as she wraps an arm around him and pulls him closer.

“Hey, sleepyhead.” She whispers.

“Mhm.” He mumbles, eyes closing again. “How was court?”

“Oh, it was terrible. The criminal was accused of stealing from a shop, several witnesses saw him and the shop owner- all of them testified. And the man still pleads innocent. An absolute mess.” She sighs.

“Sounds awful.”

She laughs. “I can’t complain. You’re out there traveling through time and risking your life, and here I am complaining about having to sit in court.”

“No, no. Court is awful. I’d rather go on seven more adventures than sit through court. You have to do it once a week. I think you’re the true hero of this era.”

She laughs. “Maybe you’re right. I should go on your quest for you, you can stay here and go to court.”

“Hylia above, I’d rather die.”

She laughs suddenly, uncontrollably.

And Hylia above he’s in love with her.

The realization snaps through him like electricity, making him jolt and look up at her.

She pauses, too, smile fading. “You ok?”

He blinks. Nods, shaking himself out of it. “Yeah, of course.” He smiles again.

Takes a slow breath when she smiles, too. He can’t tell her now, now when he’s about to leave again.

But he will, someday.

When he’s back for good.

~~~~

“Let’s go outside!” She whispers excitedly, poking him.

“”It’s like… three in the morning.” He mumbles groggily, sitting up even as he says it.

She could ask him to lasso the moon for her and he’d find a way to do it.

“It snowed.”

That gets him up.

Grinning, pulling a warm cloak on over his pajamas, shoving boots onto his feet, following her outside.

It’s tradition for them to have a snowball fight the first time there’s enough snow on the ground.

Ever since they were… six, maybe seven.

So that’s exactly what they do- hurl snowballs at each other until the sun is rising and they’re both breathless and laughing in the light of the morning.

She beams, cheeks flushed with the cold and snow in her hair and she’s never looked more beautiful.

I’m in love with you, he wants to say.

Almost says it, when she meets his eyes and smiles. For a second, he’s brave enough to do it.

And then the moment passes, he takes too long and he just flicks a bit of snow in her face as if that was his plan. She throws her head back and laughs, scooping up a handful of snow.

“Hey!” He protests quickly, backing away.

She throws it at him.

He ducks away from it, sticking his tongue out at her when it misses.

Makes one of his own when she throws another at him, missing by a large margin but they’re both laughing too hard to care.

Laughing too hard to talk, just throwing snow at each other frantically.

Oh well.

He has all the time in the world to tell her.

~~~~
