    Summary


     
    Ok, so maybe, Link is a workaholic. Who wouldn't with a job like his? Retrieving artifacts of the old Heroes for the National Museum is fun. He can solve old puzzles in abandoned dungeons or shrines and if he is lucky, he can even snowboard in his working hours!
    When his HR-manager Urbosa forces him to take two weeks off, an unexpected discovery comes about to change his life forever. He has to go on a journey he has never meant to make and sometimes, it needs someone with a smile like the sun to realize what the important things in life are.

    A story about setting priorities, old and new family issues, and a tricky little thing called love.
    Loosely botw-inspired. Zelink

    ch 20 - teasing about making another baby

    ch 25 - lick maple syrup off body,,, imagine idea zelink

     

    . “Uh, but Zelda? Since it’s a company event and I know what happened the last time… please consider using protection this time.” He grinned broadly, the bastard. “Just in case,” he said and coughed laughing, “Revali gets what he wants.”

    Zelda decided to ignore his tease and raised her eyebrows. “Revali?”

    “Yeah. He is crazy about you. Don’t tell me, you didn’t notice.” He laughed.

    “Eh, no. Thank you for the warning.”

    “Ah, totally egoistic reasons on my side. I have absolutely no desire to add Revali to our little patchwork family.” His grin turned even more smug when he leaned in and whispered in her ear, “If you want a second child, just ask me. I handle Tetra just fine; I can handle two. Just say a word and I’ll make you another one.” Then, he gave her a demonstrative innocent peck on the cheek and shoved her out of her apartment.

    Behind the door, Zelda had to catch her breath. Nope, not bastard. Evil bastard. Definitely an evil bastard. He was joking, of course , was he joking. She brushed her fingers over the skin, where his hot breath had just grazed her neck. He was doing that on purpose, she was sure of it. He must know that she still thought about his palms sliding up her thighs, his fingertips pressing into her back, his hands pulling her down in a kiss, every time he teased her like this

     

    He had hardly been able to speak to her because he was so broken, he had forgotten about Tetra’s party and he had fled to Zora’s Domain, his – at least emotional – home. Something was wrong. Horribly wrong. She had never heard him so crushed. Whatever stupidity he had done, he had to overcome it, and she would be forced to wait for him to come around. That was... if he would come.

    But i loved this story. It was fluffy, romantic, with a confused royal princess and her shy knight. Its cute that the phropecied hero and goddess are so shy with each other love

    Summary

    A hero is someone courageous and empathetic. A hero is someone who will bear their duty to those in need with a smile. A hero is someone who will do what must be done, even if it's painful. A hero is someone who knows the true meaning of sacrifice. By this definition, Link was a hero to a fault.

    Summary

    Link is not alone in the Chamber when he wakes. A trio of eggs lie within the water beside him.

    With no memory, but a nagging voice that is telling him that this is important, don't leave it behind, Link has a mystery to solve. All this in addition to saving a dead kingdom.

    Hopefully, they're not just luminous rocks.

    Summary

    They lay side-by-side on the floor of the Forgotten Temple for some amount of time, lost in regret and devastation and heartache, before Impa wiped her cheeks with a sniffle and pushed herself up from the ground. “We’ll need to start our work immediately if we’re to get her back, then,” she said. “Go wash your face, and I’ll put the kettle on.”

    He blinked. “Impa, the glyphs say it’s not possible.”

    “Oh, Link, old friend, I don’t care what the Zonai thought was possible. Perhaps they didn’t know of a way to reverse the draconification process, but that was so, so very long ago. Think of the legends we’ve recorded over the centuries since, all the many ways that Hyrule has been saved from ruin by unimaginable power — do you think the Zonai really knew everything that would ever come to be?

    “It will be hard to find, certainly, but I believe wholeheartedly that there is something in this land that can bring her back. So unless you don’t think we owe it to our Princess to try, I suggest you get up off the floor, wipe the tears off your face, and get to work.”

    A lore-adjacent explanation for how Zelda might have been restored at the end of Tears of the Kingdom.
