    Summary

    The rain showered down on him endlessly, the night sky making the surroundings dark and impenetrable. The only lights were coming from his Sheikah slate and the figure in front of him, and Link knew he had found who he had been looking. This was the man mentioned within the legend, the man who seemed to be a mask salesman that has been preserved through time.

    The masks adorning his clothes and bag rattled as if trying to escape the confines of their ties to the man. Link could feel the unease and thick air, almost as if it were palpable and restricting his breathing. He hadn’t even seen the man and he knew that this man was not what he looked to be.

    However, just as he thought to approach, the man turned around slowly to gaze upon him. His eyes were upturned, and his grin was anything but happy, looking to be more like a grim snarl. They locked eyes at once and Link could feel his skin crawl as his body instinctually started on edge, watching the mans every movement.

    “Care for a mask, young Link?”

     

    Or a story in which Link, fed up with the life he is living without his control, leaves the castle to find the joy of freedom once more.

    Summary

    “Link, you- you don’t remember?”

    The empathy that Link had sworn had died along with the man who used to inhabit his body sprung free from a place in his heart that he forgot he had. Something, he could not place what, made him feel horrible for not remembering the Zoran King. He remembered no one and nothing. Why was this man so different?

    -----

    Or, where Link awakes after a century having forgotten how to speak sign language. A lonely King Sidon, eager to spend time with his dearest companion, teaches him.

    Summary

    Link couldn't be sure if he was always this way; was he even remotely the same person he was 100 years ago? He was quite sure the boy he'd been had died and come back a monster, a hollow shell of bitterness and rage, blunt in every aspect but the ones that made him a perfect killer. Who remained that could offer him the truth? It felt as though everyone that had truly known him took those answers with them, leaving his life a tattered patchwork of various endings. He saw no reason not to simply allow Hyrule to come to an end as well. There was only one person in his life that offered kindness and comfort, asking nothing in return, one person that could make him feel something, rather than nothing, one person who seemed to represent a beginning, rather than an ending.

    Summary

    Link froze, instinct prickling at the back of his neck and making his damp hair stand on end. At first, he couldn't determine what had caught his attention, listening intently for the sounds of scuffling feet, the hiss of wings, or a malicious cry in the absence of his sight. But there was nothing but the burbling of dark water and the persistent thrum heavy on the air.

    Link blinked and realized abruptly what he had been missing when two faint glowing pinpricks, nearly hidden beneath the flickering reflection of the master sword against the water, blinked back.

    “Sidon?” Link stuttered in disbelief as it surfaced, almost unintelligible in his shock. Had the prince somehow fallen down here with him? Had he been a part of a search party?

    But before Link could relax, a massive clawed hand latched upon the shore, close enough for him to realize that its skin was far from the familiar red and it was rising, rising, rising above him, stealing his breath with a fresh wash of alarm. That. Was not Sidon.
