El oh el guys I’m so excited to spend 500+ dollars on a console and 80 dollars on a download code game so I can finally play a Hyrule warriors game as my favourite character from totk: nameless faceless sage number three!!!!!

Fic Prompts: Free Day Thursday

As mentioned before, I spun a wheel with many options and what we landed on was:

Zelda: BOTW

Link liked Daruk.

He appreciated all the Champions -- yes, even Revali.

Sometimes.

Occasionally.

And Mipha had been his friend since, well, since about as far back as he could remember.

Aren't kids supposed to have memories outside of a career? Did Father have to present me to the king so young?

But there was something about Daruk that was different. He didn't look at Link with the childhood nostalgia of Mipha. He wasn't the King of Hyrule, always watching, always measuring, sifting him to see whether he was truly worth anything. And Daruk was not one of the Hylian soldiers. He didn't have the first clue about what rank Link's father held, and he had absolutely no opinions regarding how well Link was measuring up to Arn's legacy.

Daruk expected nothing of him save for courage in battle and a hearty appetite afterward.

Rock Roast isn't that bad, Impa is just being mean-

Why did Daruk care so much about whether or not Link was eating well, or had adequate protection from the deadly heat? Did he fuss over his subordinate Gorons like that?

In Hyrule, everyone had always left him to figure everything out on his own. First aid, starting a fire, shaving, communicating, even. It was like...like they thought he had come into this world already bearing the knowledge and experience of every Chosen Hero who had lived before him.

He was supposed to know these things! He was supposed to excel at everything!

...and Father wonders why we never talk...

But Daruk never demanded excellence. He didn't frown in disapproval if Link didn't balance just right, and he wouldn't make Link drill for hours if he performed a classic attack incorrectly, like the Knight Captains used to.

like they still would if I weren't so much stronger than them, now-

It was strange. Sometimes Link caught a glimpse of Daruk out of the corner of his eye; he saw the barrel chest and sideburns and sometimes almost mistook him for Arn.

But it's been a long, long, time since Father had the chance or inclination to ask me what I thought...

"You okay, little guy?" Daruk jostled him amiably. "You look like you got some pebbles not sittin' right in your gut."

"Just...thinking." Link responded, then blinked. Usually he answered with facial expressions or sounds. Did Daruk know Hyrule Sign?

Daruk's eyes crinkled at the corners. "Hoo! That Hylian accent is thick, boy! Those hands are dripping with fancy manners. You know any miners' jargon? It'll make talkin' to the brothers around here a lot easier."

The smile was out and about before Link had time to even process the question. Daruk understood! It had taken weeks for Mipha to learn how to talk to Link. He'd expected Eldin to be much like Lanayru.

"I only know Hyrule Sign, and some words in Zora," Link answered, "Will you teach me?"

"Is Death Mountain hot?" Daruk retorted, "Of course I will! Come on, little guy, let's see if we can find you a teacher!"

...maybe...maybe it's okay to not know everything. At least, it's okay with the Gorons.

I love when a fandom has a nickname for a parental figure character and they just make a pun based off of mom or dad and their name.

Never thought I’d see the day where the Hyrule warriors spin-off would handle botw’s characters better than the sequel did.
