I’m unsure everyone’s thoughts on TotK spoilers at this point, but just to be on the safe side, putting my thoughts Sidon and Link and other under a cut. Just ramblings and some mild cackling.

Okay, so TotK presented a new fun facet for Sidon: they gave him a bride. Obviously, Sidlink fans went completely nuts. Makes sense. This is a big change from the BotW dynamics. So first things first: my thoughts on the betrothal itself.

Some people went batshit and accused Nintendo of queerbaiting. Of all things, they insisted that Nintendo saw people so excited about Sidlink that they inserted Yona to break up the pairing. I have multiple thoughts on that, which will be split up a bit through my flailing meta. Most obvious first, though: Sidon is the Prince of the Zora. He is the only heir left. A betrothal makes sense! Yona was known to him, trusted, and she seems to have a solid head on her shoulders... and is also good for not taking Sidon’s shit. She is a good choice for a Queen, both for the Zora people and for Sidon personally.

I love Sidon to death, but he absolutely needs someone to balance him out. The Zora people are a monarchy. While they lack the divine rule of the Hylian Royal Family, they do have a definite strictness and structure. There is a great deal of respect for the royal family, for the structure that is in place, and the Zora people also rely on the royal family for multiple things. The Zora royal family is clearly not symbolic or there for show: they are the guardians, protectors, and leaders of the Zora people. Whoever would be paired with Sidon would need to fulfill those roles.

From what we’ve seen of Link, he has two sides: feral little warrior or duty-bound Knight. He doesn’t try to take leadership roles: he hears of a problem, sighs a little at how the problem isn’t being solved, and does it by himself. He works with teams, but there’s no indication of him ever leading. He’s the Tony Hawk of Hyrule. He’s the guy who does things so quietly that people are baffled when they’re successfully done.

So where does all of this leave Sidlink? I think there are a couple takes on it.

While Sidon is canonically marrying Yona (and absolutely no Yona bashing on my blog: I adore Yona), I think if Sidon married her and Yona acted as his queen and the Queen of the Zora, and yet he still had a full relationship with Link on the side... he would do so with everyone’s blessing. Dorephan’s, the Zora people’s, Yona’s... Fuck, he literally put a ring on it, and he was congratulated. He has a statue of him and Link, and everyone honors it. He has it literally in writing on the wall how much he adores Link and wants everyone to know how awesome Link is. And fuck, did everyone talk to Yona after Link successfully finds the Zora greaves? Sidlink isn’t even my ship and it seems like she is giving her blessing and sounds thrilled that Sidon found such a great side piece.

Seriously, my favorite pairing is Revalink, and every Zora interaction seemed like Sidon was madly in love with Link, and despite marrying Yona, everyone in the kingdom was cheering Sidon on. Wouldn’t be the craziest thing, really, and would require no effort to make Sidon/Yona a political, if happy and respectful, marriage, with the King (and really, the Queen, providing no children come from it) having concubines/lovers/etc. Which makes the second possibility for this subject even funnier.

This is my go-to, although, again, even for a non-shipper, Sidlink is amazingly easy in TotK: Sidon and Link have nothing going on. It’s completely platonic. It never occurred to either of them that people interpret their interactions and Sidon’s comments as romantic. Everyone -- Dorephan, Bazz, Yona, everyone -- is convinced Sidon and Link have been fucking for months, if not years, and they’re okay with it. Hell, they’re thrilled by it. Yona adores Link and is fine sharing Sidon with him. Hell, she encourages it (with neither Link or Sidon understanding it but happy to have some time to hang out together). Dorephan is convinced that he has a pseudo-son-in-law and couldn’t be prouder. He expected to have Link as an actual son-in-law a century ago, anyway. Everyone thinks they’re screwing, and everyone is happy with it, with Sidon and Link never catching on.

Bonus points if Link is actually in another relationship, and one day, I might write that little bit of crack.

More bonus points if Sidon is actually ace (which is really, really easy to headcanon, honestly) and Yona attributes his struggles with babymaking to his love for Link.

There’s possibly Link struggling to figure out where he fits with Sidon after learning about the engagement, with most of the kingdom (including Yona) taking it for granted that of course Link would stay with Sidon. There’s Sidon struggling with figuring out how to insert Yona in his life and the canon struggling of having someone else to lose. (At least he’s confident that Link can and will survive, even though Link vanishing must have scared the shit out of him.) There’s possibly Link knowing that such things exist due to his travels and his own history with royals but not connecting it to himself, especially when he sees Sidon struggling with his relationship and upcoming marriage to Yona. Multiple opportunities for both fluff and plotty tension.

But yeah... at no point do I see Yona actually being a barrier to Sidlink. It’s amazingly easy to see her as a fucking Sidlink shipper, whether the pair or actually together or not.

(And honestly, I think she did what it wouldn’t have occurred to Link to do: yell at Sidon to put aside his personal feelings and fears and fulfill his damned responsibilities. I think Link would have just accepted Sidon’s actions and tried to solve the problem on his own, as he does. It is Yona who recognizes that it shouldn’t just fall to Link and that Sidon has to take care of his own responsibilities, too, and get out of his head.)

Of course, for the people who want to write Yona and Sidon breaking up the marriage, write Link taking up a leadership role and stepping up as a fellow ruler, whatever... this bit of meta absolutely is not critiquing any of those takes. I’m of the firm mindset that people should write what they want, that fanfiction is amazing for exploring, and if people dislike a certain writer’s takes, they should just leave the fic instead of going “Well, I disagree with what you did here and here’s why.” Hell, even if it’s not with my headcanons or whatever, Sidlink writers are awesome in this fandom and write many solid fics, both with worldbuilding to back up their choice and with fics without the details and background and just happy fluff (and porn). If you like the above takes, awesome! If you prefer for it just to be Sidlink (no Yona bashing, please, though), also awesome. It’s fanfiction. Have fun with it.

Since I'm struggling with drawings/ writing anything (currently working on a fic) I figured I'd give a little more ideas for my sidlink family.

It would not be mpreg, I've read those fics and it doesn't fit with the world of Zelda. Instead, I wanted it to be an amazing life-changing experience where they speak the goddess statues and get blessed with a child. Not right away but they would know when it was time.

I want them to have 3 or 4 kids I honestly don't know. I want them to have each other like Sidon had Mipha and Link just wants a big family.

If they have 4 kids. 2 girls and 2 boys

Names I have no idea I have Kova who is the first born, total badass but a total sweetie who would "never" hurt anyone (unless someone hurts her siblings, her parents, her grandfather,anyone in the domain, Zelda- for the others I was thinking for the other girl either Mipha, Peri or Fi 👀👀 boy names I always struggle so anyone have any ideas for good boy names.

Link at first was nervous to be a parent (due to trauma he found out about his own family) but eventually relaxes and is the chill parent ,still stern will let things slide depending on the situation

Sidon as a parent is a bit more cautious (due to Mipha's passing) and gets super overprotective of Kova (less overprotective of the other siblings but it's still there after he's chilled out) due to his worries that they'll get hurt or worse sometimes they lie about situations to keep Sidon from turning into overprotective shark dad mode lol

Not sure how age works for them I'm sure they get that slow aging like Link;;

I have so many ideas I think my brain would explode lol

But hopfuly you guys like my little ideas

A Service to the King Ch. 21 (A SidLink Omegaverse Story)

Chapter 21: Protective

Link woke with a soft yawn, sitting up slowly with a grunt. Hay was not the best place to fall asleep but at least now he was much more rested. He could see the sun setting nearby and he let out a sigh. He hated that he was changing his sleep schedule but he just couldn't help it.

And honestly he was sure he could sleep again. But this time in a bed or something.

Epona was right near him eating her hay once more. She lifted her head to look at him and let out a soft knicker at him.

“Hey girl,” he said to her, rising up and stretched letting out a grunt at the feel of his sore back and body. He yawned a bit and let out a sigh.

“You've got the right idea. I need some food,” he said, scratching his stomach, heading for the gate to let himself out. Maybe someone was cooking at the fire pit outside.

He heard movement behind him and he turned to see her trying to come with him.

“No, you need to stay here,” Link said. She let out a snort, nudging him and tried again.

Link sighed.

“Alright, fine,” he said with a roll of his eyes.

He attatched a lead to her halter and he then gently guided her out of the stall towards the outside of the stables.

He knew that she was being very protective and wanted to keep an eye on him. Sort of like a mother keeping an eye on her child.

It was cute and it made Link feel a little more comforted after everything going on.

Thankfully there was an older man cooking something in the pot. Seeing Link he smiled, gesturing for him to take a seat. Link moved to sit on the small stool, letting go of Epona's lead.

“Don't wander too far,” Link said to her as he unclipped it. She let out a knicker and nudged him with her nose before going to find some grass to munch.

He payfully rolled his eyes and he turned to the pot of food. He leaned in, inhaling lowly at the smell of it.

“Wow, that smells amazing,” Link said to him. “What are we having?”

“Some beef stew,” the man said. “Simple but filling. I have to say that the champion of hyrule wants to eat my food is such a blessing. And the future prince of the zora domain as well.”

The smile that was on Link's face fell and he paled a bit.

“Whatever do you mean?” he asked, swallowing a bit as he reached for the necklace around his neck. He flicked it open, taking in a small bit of Sidon's scent before closing it again.

He let out a sigh. He had to remain clam.

“It's going all around Hyrule right now that you and the king of the zoras were seen being a little close,” an old woman said as she approached the two of them, taking the other vacant stool. “I for one think it's cute.”

“It's none of our business of who you are with young man,” the man said and looked around. “Though I'm surprised that you are not with him right now.”

“It's...complicated,” Link said with a sigh. He suddenly didn't feel so hungry. He just wanted to curl up in Epona's stall again and just forget about this whole conversation.

The couple stared at one another and then the woman reached over with some warm bread she had in a basket. Link took a piece, thanking her softly.

Despite that he didn't feel like eating just something in him told him that he needed to eat. That he needed to take care of himself.

He wondered what that was about.

“Whatever is going on I'm sure you will figure it out,” the woman urged. “You defeated evil twice for all of us.”

“Relationships are different,” Link said softly.

“Oh young one it's hard I know expericning all these emotions with a little one growing within you. I'm sure whatever it is was a misunderstanding,” said the woman.

“Yeah I suppose...wait....what did you say?” Link said with his eyes widening.

“That it might just be all a misunderstanding,” the woman tried again but Link was shaking his head. There was no way. How was that possible? He hadn't been in heat or anything like that.

Then again when was the last time he had one...

Was Sidon that...potent? He had been the only one he had been with in years.

“No that other thing. That I'm growing....”

“A little one. A small pup. I wonder, do you think that the child will be a zora or a hylian?” the woman asked her husband.

“Probably Zora, tha alpha genes are usually more dominant,” the old man said.

But Link wasn't listening. He was still in shock. His hand shakily rest on his stomach. Pregnant. A baby.

And he hadn't been taking care of himself as always, ready to run, ready to jump into battle if necessary.

And he had done it all the while prgnant and putting his pup in danger.

No. Not just his pup. Sidon's pup. The heir to the zoran throne. By technical terms he was committing treason to the domain.

He had to return.

“Goodness, you had no idea did you,” she said to him. “That scent of yours has a slight scent of milk and honey to it. That's usually a sign.”

“I don't normally pay attentiong to it,” Link said with a small sigh and watched as the old man spooned a bunch of stew into a bowl and passed it to him.

He thanked the old man and tucked into the bowl of soup. Despite that he wasn't feeling hungry with this information he felt the urge to need to protect his child.

He had to do better. He had to take care of them. And he had to go back to the domain. He could figure out his life after the child was born. But so many thoughts went through his head. Had there ever been a hylian and zora offsping before? Zelda would know but she...

No. He had to put his difference aside to protect himself and think for the future of his child. For now he had to return to the domain and talk to the father of his child.

And maybe then once they figured out how to properly take care of himself and the baby would he talk about what he had seen in the hallway.

“Oh my poor boy you have been through so much,” the old woman said, handing him a hankerchief. He thanked her, taking it and was confused at first until he felt the wetness on his cheeks. He had been crying again.

“If you want my advice, being around your alpha does help with the emotion,” she urged. “I think you should find him.”

“I will,” Link said, wiping his eyes and looked over as Epona came to his side again, nudging his head with her own. He pat her snout with one hand and leaned into her.

“Ready for another trip? This time I'll take you with me,” he said. She nudged him again and he smiled softly. He turned back to his food, dipping some bread into the soup. He needed his strength and make sure he made the trip back safely.

He would need to prepared Epona as well as buy some weapons or something to use just in case he ran into any rouge monster or bandits on the road.

“And then we'll talk to the king,” Link said.

Epona's ears lay flat and Link snorted.

Link stopped at the bridge of the Domain.He had traveled first thing in the morning to get back to the Domain. And it was in chaos.

He looked around confused, sliding off the back of his horse and taking her reigns. She was a little apprehensive about stepping on the marble floor but she followed Link regardless.

This was his home after all.

“What in Hylia's name is going on here,” he mumbled to himself, watching as another group of Zora carried baskets of food. He reached out to one, concern on his face.

She let out a gasp, her eyes wide and a smile broke out across her face, but the panic was still in her eyes.

“Link, you've returned!” she said with relief, but one quick glance around him had her not so relaxed any longer. “You are by yourself?”

“Yes....I came back on my own,” Link said. “Where is Si-King Sidon?”

The Zora swallowed. “Out looking for you with the princess of Hyrule. He left shortly after we saw you leave.”

Link paled a bit. Sidon was out looking for him.

“I see...I'll need to do something about that,” Link said and looked around at the panic look. “What's going on? Why is everyone so upset?”

“Haven't you heard? Death Mountain is at a risk of going off and all areas around it are at risk. Even us which means it's going to be bad. We're all getting ready to relocate to a safer location,” she explained. “I suggest you do the same.”

Link paled at that and swallowed. He had to get them out of there. Even Lanayru was in danger if the mountain went off.

And what if Sidon and Zelda came back before it was safe to do so?

“Thank you. Please go and get ready, I will do the same and try to find Sidon,” he said. He had to go get his things and leave. He tied Epona to one of the railings, petting her head.

“You stay here,” he said. “I'll be back. And we're going to have to fast travel. I know you'd hate it but we have to.”

She let out a noise of disapporiving but stayed put as he went to go get his essentials.

Link went to his home he had built once more, panting softly as he set the bags down. He had brought everything of importance to him and even Sidon and Zelda's things as well.

As he had thought Epona had nearly thrown him off of her back when he had fast traveled but a few corrections and gentle pats she had calmed down.

They were much farther now. Who knew if they had to move again but right now they were far away. Most of the Zoras had gone into the caves below the lake. Link hoped they would all be alright. He had heard stories of those getting trapped in places.

There was only one thing left to do now. He had to contact Sidon and Zelda somehow to make sure that they knew he...and the pup were safe.

He guided Epona into her stall, pulling off her saddle and then pulled out the Purah pad. Epona nudged his shoulder and he pet her nose gently.

It was as if asking if this was a good idea. Honestly he had no other ideas.

With a sigh he pushed the button for a homing beacon to be put on where he was. It was a newer set up Purah had put into it that way the two could find one another if seperated.

Hopefully she would find it.

Before it was too late.

In the depths of Faron Zelda jumped when the pad on her hip went off. Sidon glanced at her as she wiped sweat from her forehead and pulled it up, her eyes widening.

“He set off a beacon,” she said. “I know where he is.”

Completely unrelated to my last post (or maybe a little bit related?), it still tickles me that Sidon is chronologically the opposite of Link.

Link started out cheerful, loud, and confident, then grew up to be silent, shy, and (eventually) bratty.

Sidon started out silent, shy, and bratty (according to him, anyway, we never got to see the bratty part), then grew up to be cheerful, loud, and confident.

They are so cute. 😭💖

MY PERSONAL REMARKS:

FIRST: I love seeing my friends in my top reblogs. You guys rule, and your creations inspire me and bring me so much joy. Always, always share your work and your passions with me! Even if you think it isn't in my realm, share it anyway, because it makes you happy and that makes it worthwhile to me, too!

SECOND: A week after writing my longest tag - comparing one of my art styles to being so ill you can't lift yourself from the bathroom floor - I became violently ill, and didn't eat for an entire week. I lost a dangerous amount of weight and contemplated my mortality. I may have a weird and deep and horrifying magic that I can't control. Or it could all just be a disturbing coincidence.

THIRD: Bless the sidlink community! You guys puff up my ego so much and I love you! You give my mindless rambling headcanons more attention than they deserve, and make me excited to share my romantic fanart instead of embarrassed and awkwardly ashamed. No matter what the new game brings next year, let's keep celebrating this lovely ship together!

okay but like the same way artists do zines do fic writers make pretty, impressed versions of their fics? because I swear there are some on Ao3 I would live to have a printed version with a pretty cover art. and I wish writing fan content was more valued.

@mameyes I cannot thank you enough for the message I don’t have time today to sit down properly and doodle much but I wanted at least to put this little ‘thank you’ out. All the love, really, I woke up with your message and even if today was a really long day it kept a smile on my face all the time. I’m glad you enjoy my wild child and how I portray him >.<

1/5 Sidlink Sunday: Depending on luck and the path one takes through the game, Link can have a Very Bad Time. The first living person he encounters after getting off the plateau is the crazy flower lady, who beats him within an inch of his life for accidentally nicking some flowers while fighting ChuChus. Then, what he thinks to be a few friendly travelers turn out to be Yiga assassins in disguise. He finally makes it to Kakariko, where he is reminded of his duty, celebrated for his destiny.

2/5 Tasked with saving a world he does not know, which so far has shown little concern for him. He’s given a list of names and targets, people he must save to aid him in this task. First up is Mipha and Vah Ruta of the Zora. The trek there is grueling, damp and miserable with monsters at every turn. Upon his arrival at Zora’s Domain he’s berated by the elders for deeds he does not remember, and the only topics up for discussion are a friend he does not know, and the duty yet before him.

3/5 “Father… I do not believe discussing my sister is helping matters at the moment. Link seems confused.” Link’s confused. Why would that matter? He’s always confused. Nothing that had happened so far made sense to him, but he still had his duty to fulfill. The meeting proceeds, and the task of boarding the Divine Beast begins. Once victorious the Zora celebrate him as a hero, the long-lost champion fulfilling his duty. All except Sidon, who celebrates him as a friend, truly impressed by his

4/5 accomplishments. It feels different, somehow, knowing this one person does not take his deeds for granted as ordained by fate. It almost feels as if his actions were his own, rather than the culmination of an age-old prophecy. Sidon doesn’t even urge him to move on to the next target, instead invites him to visit. But Link knows he has a duty to fulfill. He moves on. But throughout his journey, whenever the world takes him for granted or makes him feel as if his deeds are not his own,

5/5 he returns to Zora’s Domain. There a bright smile awaits to greet him as a friend, to remind him that he is more than his destiny. (This one got too long and rambly, woops)–

god DAMN what a way to Kick off Sidlink Sunday! As always you blew my socks off my friend WOW im so soft for this

#pittsanswers #sidlink #god this is so good fuck you #sidlink sunday #Gawd Bless Sidlink Sunday!
