Duet of Time: Chapter 1

“I don’t follow.” Her voice was strong, but he could hear a small quiver. She was afraid, but why? Link tilted his head in confusion to her statement, though she had called him by his title before she had never done so when they were alone. “You are Princess Zelda, aren’t you?” ---- OoT/TP Zelink Au that was inspired by Corpse Bride (it does not follow the plot of the film, just vibes).

Ah yes, my favorite day of the week for @zelinkcommunity 's Zelink Week 2023. @linktheacehero and I were ridiculously excited to post these pieces, and they're finally here! Check his half out HERE, as well as the fic above!

like the whole warriors concept album does things to me but like I can't aptly describe the extreme chills felt in a light or something's "The light at the end of the tunnel's got nothing on you!"

Let everyone hear about GRANDMA 😈 (dot)

And also Zelink Villain arc I too am very excited for this one

HJDFKSHJDKS

Grandma is def gonna be a running joke sdkfs.

So Duet of Time (Dot) is a roleplay with me and heaven (number 3 out of four?? how many do we have lmao) and its basically a corpse bride au where-

Tp Zelda wanders upon Hero Shade's (Oot Linkor as we call him bone grandpa) grave a few days before she marries tp Link and practices her vows. Shade wakes up believing its his Zelda because the vows she said were a promise he and his Zelda did before he died (he also needs glasses cause he's 8ft tall and tp zelda is 6ft and Spirit(oot zelda/ spirit grandma) was also 8ft and how he confused them idk)

ANYWAY, he and Zelda go to a in between realm that he thinks is the Spirit Realm but its not where Zelda is like "im not your Zelda, Hero of Time" and he's like "wdym of course you are" (he just wants his zelda back okay, its been 300 years since he's seen her). In the meantime Spirit wakes up and discovers that Shade has pulled a grave mistake(pun intended) and goes to tp Link for help. And to explain the grandma joke its that Link believes he's the descnedant of oot zelink because he's heard as a kid all these stories of how they were so in love, etc.. so when he sees Spirit he's like "Grandma!" but she's like "oh sweet summer child" and learns that he's just Shade's desendant which means his ship never got married and decides to pull an irl fix it fic lmao.

The Hero of Time found himself circling in his his grave for the umpteenth time since his supposed regrets had eased. Although he was able to live in the Spirit Realm, his soul could not simply just leave the mortal plane, not until she came.

Zelda. His dearest princess who he vowed to forever stand by, even after death claimed him. He could remember the agony and sorrow that wore on her soul when she buried him beneath the tree of his former guardian, the regrets that weighed heavy upon them. They both had yearned for a happy life, a life to spend together until death came and they could be spirits living in the afterlife for eternity. But destiny seemed to be cruel to those who are goddess blessed.

Since that day he uttered a promise for her, that he would not leave until she came for him. That he was forever bound to her, that his devotion and love was stronger than death and their cursed destiny itself. Then, the ancient hero felt a presence come closer to his resting place. A very familiar presence. Could it be? Was it possible that his waiting was finally over?

May I always be by your side to alleviate your burdens.

If he had lungs, Link's breath would have hitched. It was her promise, the very same she had whispered when he returned from Termina and wept in her arms. It was her.

Our love is stronger than death itself.

With the ring falling perfectly onto his finger, Link tethered his spirit to his old body. He arose from the earth, leaves, dirt and plants wrapped around his golden armor. The cool crisp night air blew through his bones, the moonlight hit the back of helmet shadowing the person before him. He looked down to her, his glowing eye softening at who he saw.

"Dearest."

AS FOR VILLIAN ARC

i answered one here! But i will add more hehehe

brainrot ideas for it

Link decides to defy the King's orders about something war related which marks him as like traitor but Zelda will still stay by her beloved's side even as the kingdom turns on him

The King forcing Zelda to marry Tyrsus (aka arrogant prince) and is also preassured by her aunt, Lady Selin (the bitch)

Link and Zelda day by day having to struggle with controlling their emotions (which means also a struggle for Link to keep down Fierce Deity's power and Zelda Hylia's power) and just decide to snap

Pushing Daisies would make for a killer stage musical, by the way.

Holy mother of Chilchuck and Marcille and marchil-

I don't wanna think about my father dyin' I don't wanna hear my mother cryin' I don't wanna look into the mirror tryin' not to lose my shit Flowin' like lava down the side of a mountain Man in the jungle lookin' for a fountain of youth But he knows that fountain won't appear... fear If it all ends tomorrow I had a blast It looked so beautiful And it hurt so bad What a real good time What a heartfelt world What a fucked up place Searchin' for knowledge Walkin' through fire Man in a garden filled with desire I know my name ain't written in your book... look If it all ends tomorrow I had a blast It looked so beautiful And it hurt so bad What a real good time What a heartfelt world What a fucked up place What a real good time What a heartfelt world What a fucked up place

It’s literally got everything it’s just marchil at the end my god. Death, fear of death & aging, resignation, cheery "whatever, as long as I had a good time!", looking at the world both with romantic glasses and harsh realistic cynicism.……….. The way the first verse can apply to both of them��� I am deceased
