Legend of Zelda really heard the "what sort of being chooses an orphaned child/teenager as their chosen one?!?" moral quandary and answered repeatedly with "another orphaned child/teenager" and/or "his best friend who doesn't know who else to ask" and "his soulmate, who is in danger, again, and who's heart breaks every time she has to ask him to fight" and you know what? Those are the only valid answers ever.

MUWAHAHAHH ive kidnapped link and he’s being held hostage at lovers pond, please arrive ASAP with a box of chocolates and dress up nicely OR ELSEEEE

Rats.

The things I have to do to rescue this useless fool. Of course the pathetic little runt would get himself kidnapped. I am not paid enough for this nonsense.

I like the Zelda franchise and ship zelink a normal amount. Obviously.

While I am definitely a supporter of “they shared the bed” in the Hateno house

I just know for a fact it didn’t happen instantly… instead Link would take power naps whenever Zelda worked with the kids or in her study. He can go a long time without sleeping and is more than willing to sacrifice the bed so Zelda can actually get rest. She protests at first but admittedly does understand she just fought Ganon back for a century. She needs actual sleep.

Instead, it gradually became evident that the longer Zelda was back, the more and more the trauma from the Great Calamity and the fight with Ganon presented itself. It was a slow overtake of her mind, the exhaustion and shock from it all numbing her until she began to accept the reality that she was safe. Link was safe. Hyrule was saved.

And with her guard lowered, the fear, sadness, and anger came back in the forms of internal warfare. Her rest was disturbed by nightmares, her magic completely sapped from her being. She had nothing to defend herself from it.

Well… not nothing. She had Link.

And in these weeks of getting to know each other again, of finding the Link post-Shrine of Resurrection much more open with his emotions, she knows her faith in him has never faltered. And that is how she knows she is still safe.

And it takes time to come to that level of comfort and genuine vulnerability, more because of their own individual traumas than their relationship. And that’s when they realize everything is a little bit easier when they’re in each other’s arms. The nightmares become blissful sleep, fragments of dreams comforting them, but not as much as the serenity being so close with the other brings.

It was a tentative, shy question at first. “Will you come to bed with me?” “I just can’t seem to sleep very well and I know if I’m with you, I’m safe.”

And the answer was always going to be yes. It didn’t make sense not to. Link would do anything and everything to keep Zelda safe and happy, so peaceful sleep was definitely included.

And that’s how they found themselves healing together. And it was ridiculously easy to share a bed and just sleep. To rest. To know they were doing good work all over Hyrule and still finding the time to make a home for themselves. To be that home for each other. That peace.

Linktober day 6: Fear/Terror

The guardians in botw have always struck a deep and genuine fear within me. This is why even though I think botw is a better game I do enjoy exploring more in totk because the guardians are gone. I enjoy being able to hang out in the forgotten temple without fear

Which Link is most likely to get banned from Olive Garden

And if you feel like it, tell me who you picked and why!! (And what they did to get banned)

If you’d like to do something similar for the Zeldas, here you go:

[lunacias]

it’s dangerous to go alone! 

finished the rito village quest recently! travelling with tulin was everything to me 

[gensnix]

So apparently totk isn’t getting a dlc here’s some botw->totk things that make me go mmmmh 

[nightyraven-art]

This will be one of my forever favorite art piece I drew awhile ago

I love how soft the colors are here, I want to go back to this artstyle

[blueskittlesart]

me, thinking that i have at least a base level understanding of botw: :)

blue, about to write a 1,000+ word essay that is going to completely revamp my understanding of the game and interpretation of its events: bada bing bada boom

i dont know how you do it. i am incredibly impressed and using all of this for fic inspiration. keep writing

every time someone asks me how i do this shit i have to regrettably inform them that the real genuine answer is that i am fucking insane. my 2 passions in life are writing and video games and the place where the 2 converge fascinates me to no end and i am that special kind of crazy that is capable of latching onto something and not thinking about anything else for 10 years. so. the only thing i have cared about deeply for the last several years of my life has been the way video games are written and constructed. and zelda is one of the most interestingly constructed franchises i have found to date. these games are just like. the absolute perfect story for my brain to work with and i truly do not know who i would be without them. and i am genuinely incredibly grateful that ive been able to build a platform where people like. CARE about what i have to say and take the time to ask me to think about the games because like. i would be doing it ANYWAY but knowing that there are people who actually read my analysis and appreciate the amount of thought i put into this stuff makes me really happy lol

[airoarts]

Finished the video game

[Image description: A short two-panel comic based on the ending of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. In the first panel, Zelda looks up, smiling slightly, and says "I was sleeping all this time... but you woke me up, Link." In the second panel, Link is shown giving a thumbs up and thinking to himself, "I'm not telling her that I farmed her for dragon parts." End ID]

Below is an image that will spoil the geoglyph/master sword plotting and quest so if you haven’t done that yet I would avoid the image.

Image ID: [It is a text post in the style of the avatar the last airbender meme which originally had Sokla sayin ‘my first girlfriend turned into the moon’ and Zuko responding ‘that’s rough, buddy’. The image now reads ‘my first girlfriend turned into a dragon’ with Link’s face pasted over Sokka’s and Sidon’s face pasted over Zuko’s with him saying ‘that’s rough buddy’.]

[merriclo]

bro just beat totk. goddamn.

[comixandco]

tfw you come home from an involuntary two-month holiday featuring emergency surgery and a prosthetic arm and you walk through the door

and a neighbour you barely know is sweeping your floor and says how much she loves your gf and if you’re tired just go sleep in the bed since your gf is away and she’ll let anybody sleep in there
