All’s fair in love and…Bananas?

Summary:

Meet Tallon, a simple Hylian from the Faron region who bites off more than he can chew after accidentally trying to save/potentially romance a Yiga Clan Blademaster who was disguised as cute and handsome Hylian. Has spring finally sprung for him? Or will he meet a cruel end at the hands of this bear of a man who seems to only have eyes for bananas. Literally.

Notes:

Thank you for checking this out! I will endeavor to make this a good reading experience. Zelda and Link are not mentioned in this story, in my head this is during the time while Link is recovering in the Shrine of Resurrection, so still during/after the Calamity. I just see this as a simple tale of what life could be like during that time in between the start of the Calamity and Links awakening. The Calamity may not be mentioned in much detail because of that. Thank you.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: Not What I Expected

Chapter Text

Just a taste: 



It was a day like any other, a long walk down the side of the road, just hoping to stumble on some long-forgotten treasure and make it big. However, unlike any other day, I did find something. Only that something turned out to be way bigger than I ever imagined. A Yiga.

“Fuck. Fuck. FUCK!”
Crashing through the tall grass, I ran as fast as I could. Why Hylia? What did I do to deserve such a fate!? I screamed inwardly, glancing back at the Blademaster on my tail. And why is he so dead set on pursuing me!? Right when I thought things couldn’t get worse, my foot got caught on a rock and I fell face forward onto my stomach. “Shit…”


Clomp. Clomp. Clomp.


As his heavy steps grew closer, my heart felt like it would burst.
I’m dead, dead I tell you! I just had to come out here, didn’t I!?
In the midst of my thoughts, a dark shadow loomed over me, picking me up by the back of my shirt. I prepared myself for a beating…but nothing happened? Opening my eyes, I saw his face centimeters away from mine. Nothing but a white mask painted with that accursed red symbol stared back at me. A mark of death among us Hylians. Suddenly, the man whispered: “You smell…of bananas…”


Ex-fucking-cuse me!?
