Lovelies, I commissioned @smilesrobotlover and she did not disappoint, so have a scene to go with her fantastic art <3

Link had never dreamed of being in a situation like this.

It was difficult really to say what he could and couldn’t imagine being possible anymore, given that a time traveling miniature guardian had helped save Hyrule from destruction, but this was still more than he could have ever thought would happen.

With the castle floating in the sky, the former king frantically taking control of a terrified and fracturing nation while the queen was missing, and Zora’s Domain barely holding together after a phantom version of its own prince tried to kill its king, Link was ready to fall apart at the seams. His fellow champions were in disarray, Zelda was gone, Mipha had to recover and hold the Domain together while her father healed from an attack that was staged to look like Link was the culprit, and—and—

And his son snuck after him when he went to help the rest of the kingdom.

It was honestly… fun. Exciting, even. But also completely terrifying. His little one was too young to be in such dangerous situations, but his magic that he was seemingly cultivating helped shield him from danger.

Link tried to hold on to the comfort of still having support, despite the chaos. Mipha was working to help the Domain realize that Link had not, in fact, attacked King Dorephan (a majority of the Domain already understood this, but it was hard to refute when the imposter looked like Link), and his father was working with the Hyrulian soldiers to reel in monster encampments, allowing Link and Koden to move somewhat unobstructed across the country.

Somewhat unobstructed. As in, there were still monsters for him to fight, and oh how Link worried, but also—

Link snarled as he shoved a bokoblin with his shield. He heard a grunt behind him, a pleading appeal followed by his son’s shy voice, “Papa! Papa!”

Koden didn’t sound distressed, but Link felt his heart skip a beat nonetheless. Turning, he saw his boy standing seemingly calmly as if there weren’t a battle happening right in front of him, and he signed that he had to pee.

Of all the— “NOT NOW!” Link yelled louder than he really wanted to as another bokoblin shoved a sword too close to his face.

Koden whined, starting to do a little dance, and Link finally finished off the last of the horde that the larger ‘blin had been leading around the field. Sighing heavily, he wiped the sweat off his brow as Koden started to hop all around him, only stopping out of curiosity when he saw the monster parts left behind.

Link sighed heavily. “Ok. Now we can go pee.”

He could practically hear his father laughing at him.
