Summary
The Hyrulean royal family was in quite the predicament.
By tradition, the first born daughter of the royal family shall carry the family name Zelda and unlock the powers used to seal Calamity Ganon. Traditions were broken when the Queen of Hyrule gave birth to twinsーtwo healthy, beautiful baby girls. They named the first daughter Zelda, hoping the Goddess Hylia would answer their prayers and keep tradition. The second daughter, named (Y/n), was hidden from the public eye at the request of the King.
Zelda spent her whole life with government studies and prayer being stuffed into her face, with almost no room for her own personal passions. (Y/n), on the other hand, had no royal duties to fulfill and instead learned alongside her sister, became a knight, and made a certain special friend. Despite having a place among those she's closest to, she still felt confused, as if something in her life quite hadn't clicked into place yet...
That is, until her entire world crumbles whenever she realizes that her true purpose is that of which her sister had been promised her entire life.

Summary
There’s no such thing as a female soldier.
Link knows this—it’s been ingrained into her for years. Yet, she still practices her swings out in the forest, away from her family’s eyes, in hopes that one day, she’ll get her chance. She can’t live like this forever, after all.
Hylia answers her in the form of an exchange. Her current life, for her chance at a life worth living. Except that Link has no choice—her heart is ripped out of her chest without a moment of reprieve, and she is tossed by her grief into an entirely unstable unknown. However, it is now all that she has.
As a soldier, Link is revered. She progresses quickly under the pretense that she is a man, and her disguise is good enough to fool even the king, so long as she dare not speak. Eventually, she is assigned to protect Princess Zelda as her personal knight, who is also fooled (as far as she can tell).
Link would like to keep it that way, as well, if only she could stop the ache in her heart. The one that asks for more, more, more. The one that screams yes, yes, yes whenever she gets close to the princess. The one that’s going to get her killed. All for love, though she thought she'd never love again.

Summary
The last thing he saw was the princesses face. A hand on the middle of his back, squeezing so tightly he couldn't even open his mouth - his teeth clenched in pain, nostrils flared in desperation for every breath. It would be okay, right? It wasn't supposed to hurt, was it? But his answers were given when the call of sleep fell over him. Just for a while. It would be okay. Sleep would be alright.

Summary
All things considered, Zelda's pregnancy has been going pretty well. She barely had any morning sickness, and her mood swings have been pretty mild, if she says so herself. In her second trimester now, she's showing, but not yet so big as for it to be unmanageable, and she's full of energy. But, maybe, she thinks, not nearly enough energy to deal with whatever is happening in her and Link's house in the new Castle Town right this moment. And she is not sure what exactly is happening: an entirely too elaborate Yiga assassination attempt complete with disguises of people long dead, or time travel. Knowing her life, either of these options is likely, as well as a hundred more she hasn't yet thought of.
“What the fuck,” she thinks.
“What the FUCK,” she says.
