I had the pleasure of participating in the @zelinkcommunity 's Loftwing Letters event (a Valentine's themed gift exchange for The Legend of Zelda). I had a lot of fun creating this piece for @fioreofthemarch, and this piece is actually inspired by some of the elements of their fantastic set of one shots set during and after Tears of the Kingdom. It's called Marble Skies and I implore you to read it :)

I really wanted to include these two lovebirds enjoying the apple pie that they mentioned making at the end, and I also wanted to include Zelda's reconnection with her dragon sisters and the joy she must have felt when they recognized her. After many sketches and concepts, I finally settled on this! I hope you all enjoy, especially you, Rachael!

Here's an alt without the dragon shadow below the cut:

Food for thought but what if the house in Hateno was just Zeldas at first? Link wanted to give Zelda a place to stay where she can rest without being reminded of her duty every 5 seconds (which was why staying in Kakariko didn't work) and he knew he's not the type to sit around and rest. He does want to stay by Zelda's side however, but also felt awkward about living with her. So he does this thing where he just checks in with her every few weeks/months but travels around doing tasks for the people. Whenever Zelda wants to travel he's immediately by her side, but once she's back in Hateno he's just "...okay see you later......" and leaves. Zelda wants to tell him to stay a bit longer, but is too uncertain to break that boundary between them. Also she doesn't really want him to feel like he has to stay by her side. She wants him to have his freedom.

But suddenly him being gone for 2 months becomes 6 weeks...then it becomes 1 month...then 2 weeks....then a week...and one day he walks up to Zelda and just says "...can I stay over for the night?"

And so the house in Hateno starts to feel a little less lonely from then on.

You don’t understand. I have written about you — a dozen times. That funny little curl to your lip I used in a story six years ago; that way your face all changed just when you were going to laugh — I gave that characteristic to one of the first girls I ever wrote about; the way I stayed around trying to say good-night, knowing that you’d rush to the phone as soon as the front door closed behind me — all that was in a book that I wrote once upon a time.

I'm looking at the Zora May prompts and wanna write stuff, and now my brain's just giggling with ideas LOL like--

Imagine, after Age of Calamity, that Link and Mipha get together. That has its whole set of fun and drama - a Hylian/Zora marriage would mean a lot anyway, but particularly when it's the Zora princess and the Hero of Hyrule. Link and Mipha start to have a family, Zelda is settling into being queen, and they all have their own set of stressors and joys and the three are still besties and it would be just so funny to see y'all. Like... Link takes his oath as a knight seriously, so he still assists Hyrule often, and just this scenario in my head came and--

Zelda, sighing: I hardly slept last night. I was up late researching the latest Zonai discoveries and almost forgot I had a meeting with the Rito delegation this morning. I'm so tired.

Link, hair a mess, on his third cup of coffee after dealing with one of his kids having a meltdown while the other kept everyone up crying all night, dealing with Mipha also trying to do royal duties, having just teleported over here via Sheikah towers: .....That sounds rough.
