This post is going to be long. But I just want to make this.

DEAR ROYAL FAMILY:

Zelda, my queen, my wife: I'd fight all the evil in the world to see your smile again. You are incredibly smart and beautiful. I miss when we braided each other's hair. I miss brushing your scales that glowed in the night.

King Rhoam: I hope you are proud of me for saving and protecting your daughter. I know I failed a few times, just I always tried, even if it would take months. Thank you for helping me when I had no memory to my name.

King Rauru: Thank you for making the months I spent looking for Zelda less lonely. It was a bit jarring that only I could see you for a while until Mineru joined the party. Thank you for all your help when I couldn't figure out some things.

Queen Sonia: I never got to meet you. But you were one of my wife's mother figures. So, thank you for taking care of her and training her while she was in the past.

DEAR SAGES:

Mineru: you are both a Sage and Royal Family, so I need to mention you first. You were always vague, but you were incredibly smart and knowledgeable. Thank you for giving us so much information about the Zonai back in their hayday. I know Zelda, Purah, and Robbie were ecstatic about it. 

Sidon, my almost brother-in-law: I'm so proud of you. I know that when you saved Mipha in a timeline that was not ours, you became depressed and protective of everyone else, especially of Yona. I know out of everyone, you were the most affected by the realization that nothing changed in our reality. But even so, I must thank you for helping me save our Hyrule twice and an alternative Hyrule.

Yunobo: The fact you grew so tremendously thanks to the timeline jump astonished me. Originally, you were so cowardly, which of course was understandable. I'm glad that meeting your grandfather and training with him taught you a lot.

Tulin: I'm so happy that I got to meet you. Over the 7 years between the Calamity and the Upheaval, you became such a fine archer like your father and Revali. I'm so glad I got to be like the cool aunt to you.

Riju: Thank you for upkeeping the laws your great-grandmother put in place. Thank you for all your help regarding Vah Naboris. And most importantly, thank you for saving two different versions of Hyrule. 

DEAR CHAMPIONS:

Mipha, my almost fiancee: I miss you. You are so kind and beautiful, like the sunset over the ocean. Losing you was... a lot. I'm so sorry that had to happen. If you're out there, I'm thankful for all your help.

Daruk: I'm going to say this again; don't apologize for dying. It was out of your control. You were a great friend. Thank you for, y'know, trying to get me, Mipha, and Zelda into a relationship. I mean, you already knew Mipha and I were dating, but you also very much knew about our ambiamorous, open relationship. So like, it sorta worked. Um, it's just it took over a century and a death of one of said partners. I do wonder what happened in the alternate timeline your grandson helped in. I hope that Linkle had a good life.

Revali: Thank you. Thank you for all your help. I know you probably never considered me a friend and more of a rival. But, I always saw you as a friend. I'm sorry that you weren't the chosen hero. I know you wanted to be, and trust me, I didn't want to be the chosen heroine, if it was possible, I would've traded places with you.

Urbosa: You saw right through everyone's masks, that's what made you a great chief and friend. I'll always cherish you seeing through my boymoding. You saw I wasn't happy with being a man and you saw what I truly was. Thank you, Urbosa. Thank you for making it legal for trans woman to be welcome to Gerudo Town. Thank you for taking me out to get women's clothes. 

DEAR FRIENDS: 

Teba: What can I say outside of "thank you"? You saved a version of Hyrule that was not ours. You helped me board Vah Medoh. You let me be the cool aunt figure to your son. You were the one who told me and Zelda about the alternate timeline. It was painful to hear, but I'm so glad you did.

Kass: You're my first friend that I made after waking up from cryosleep. Your music soothed my soul and I did your Shrine Quests and that one rupee quest as fast as I could across all of Hyrule so you could return to your wife and children. When I saw all of you together, singing and playing music, it made life feel better.

Yona: You and Sidon are really cute together. Thank you for fixing my Zora Armor Mipha made for her planned engagement. Your and Sidon's wedding was absolutely beautiful. Your white dress matched your complexion. I'm glad that your and Sidon's daughter and my and Zelda's son got along. It was sweet of you to suggest naming your daughter "Mipha" to Sidon. 

Impa: You were so talented. I learned so much from you both pre-Calamity and post-Calamity. I do wonder if I had woken up before the century if you would've taught me your Sheikah Ninja techniques and spells. Those were... really cool.

Purah: Oh goddesses... You were a force to be reconned with. The amount of hours you and Zelda would ramble to each other about ancient technology was in the thousands. I of course was always caught in the middle, always ending up being your test subject or ending up fetching something you needed. Sometimes I'd wonder if you ever thought of anything outside science and technology. 

Robbie: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You invented a robotic organ that turned testosterone into estrogen and estrogen into testosterone for all of us who were trans in Hyrule. You were able to do the surgery on me and give me a huge boost in my transition. Thank you. 

Paya: Your crush on me was really cute. I didn't have the same feelings, but I'm really glad you and Tauro got together. I remember the times we'd chat while our children played together. It was really great. You were a really great friend.

DEAR FAMILY: 

Medilia: I know that this probably wasn't your name. But, it was at least a different Link's mother's name, and following the naming convention of everything, I wouldn't be surprised. But, anyway, Mother, I'm sorry that you were alone when the Calamity struck... Me, your only child, and Father off fighting while you were alone. I know you made it to safety. I do remember King Dorephan telling me that you made it to the safety of Zora's Domain and lived the rest of your life there. And thank you, Mother. Thank you accepting me as your daughter and not a son. 

Arn: I know that this probably wasn't your name. But, it was at least a different Link's father's name, and following the naming convention of everything, I wouldn't be surprised. But anyway, Father, thank you. Thank you for providing for me. Thank you for teaching me everything I know about the sword, bow, spear, axe, shield, claymore, and club. I... I'm so sorry that I let you die. I'm so sorry that I listened to King Rhoam's order to take Zelda and run. I'm so sorry that I ran without saying a word and listened to that Guardian laser as it pierced through you and blew up the king and all of the other Royal Guards.

Link: Who knew I'd name you after my deadname. I certainly didn't. But, I gave it to you because my father gave it to me, so I wanted to honor his memory. You were my amazing son. When Zelda realized she was pregnant... I will say I was anxious. I'm happy that we got to be mothers to you. Watching you grow was absolutely beautiful.

DEAR ALLIES: 

King Dorephan: Sir, I'm grateful for how understanding you were and how much you would trust me, even though I failed your daughter by not being by her side and saving her. Thank you for taking care of my mother until she passed away while I was in the Shrine of Resurrection.

Deku Tree: You were wise. So very wise and you overlooked all of Korok Forrest and the Lost Woods, making sure only those with a pure heart would be able to find the center. 

Hetsu: A formidable ally. I know of what you did in Age of Calamity's timeline, or at least, what that version of you did. I know that only in our timeline, you helped me get to the center of the Lost Woods to pull the Master Sword. I loved how you'd play your maracas 

Fi, the Master Sword: It took me a hundred years. It took until I beat the Master Trials, but I finally heard you. And I'll always remember the first thing you said to me: "Congratulations, Master." I went on two adventures with you, so if course I miss you. I have a replica of the sword you inhabited, just holding it gives me the feeling you're there.

Maz Koshia: Thank you for all your training. It really was useful, especially 7 years later when Ganondorf was my enemy. Though, I'm assuming you already knew that, didn't you? You Sheikah had clairvoyant visions after all.

DEAR ENEMIES:

Ganondorf: What do you expect me to say? You killed my father, my girlfriend, my friends, all of my comrades, 90% of my kingdom, and you even killed me. No, you are not forgiven. I don't even know why you wanted the world to be destroyed. If you got your way... what then? What was your grand scheme? Rule over what people?

Kohga: At a certain point, you just needed to retire. You were 127 years old, slightly older than Impa, and even she retired. You and your husband should've just moved to Kakariko Village and let the next generation of Yiga take over. I'm not sure why you were so hell-bent on trying to assassinate me and my wife.

Sooga: I'll never forgive you for almost successeding in killing my wife multiple times, just as you probably won't ever forgive me for almost successeding in killing your husband multiple times. But, we're essentially the same person, aren't we? Two sides of the same coin. Honestly, I just wish you convinced your husband to retire from the Yiga Clan. You were about two years younger than Kohga, right? Still a year older than Impa and again, she had retired.

Last night, I had a dream. Or... well, it was technically a memory but with dream aspects to it. I'll tell it, replacing/removing my dream aspects from the memory.

Princess Zelda was walking in front of me, the cool wind from Hebra Mountain rolled onto our faces while walking to Rito Village. Zelda was wearing her travel outfit: her light blue shirt tucked into her black pants and brown boots that went a few inches just below her knees. Her hair was blowing in the wind from north to south, as was mine, just not as much since I had mine in a ponytail. I wore my green tunic that I had gotten in the Forgotten Temple just east of here.

We didn't say much, which was fine with me. I liked staying quiet. As we walked, we got ambushed by blue Bokoblins. In one spin attack with my Royal Knight's Broadsword, I slashed off all 5 of their heads before the princess I was guarding could react. Their purple blood splattered all over us. Then, after a few seconds of the dead bodies laying on the ground, they turned to smoke and blew away, from north to south as well. The blood dissipated, and behind were their fangs, horns, and stomach, which pulsated as if it was still digesting something they ate. I silently cursed them out, How could the Goddesses make the monsters turn to smoke while the humans, elementals, and anthros had bodies they needed to bury.

Then, I heard a screech of another Bokoblin, I turned to see a club inches from my face as a black Bokoblin leapt up in the air like a frog and was coming down at me. I had no time to react, but an arrow pierced the cheek of this monster with just enough force to make the thing miss.

A white feathered Rito flew above us with his bow drawn. The Bokoblin realizing that it was going to die, fled. The Rito landed next to us, on his back was a child that looked like him. I realized who these two were instantly.

"Teba." I said, sheathing my sword. "Ah, Linkle, it's good to see you." the adult Rito smiled at me and turned to Zelda, bowing. "And it seems you got my letter, Princess." Zelda gave a kind, simple nod. "Yes, you requested to see myself and Linkle." "I have... news. I'm unsure of whether to call it good or bittersweet." Teba answered. Zelda and I glanced at each other.

Teba led us back to Rito Village and when we got to his nest, he presented us with tea. We kindly accepted and he began his explanation of how after Calamity Ganon was defeated, he heard a beep of some kind of Guardian, and a portal opened before him, to which he saw the late Rito Champion about to die to Windblight Ganon.

Over the coarse of an hour or two, he explained in great detail about how he, Yunobo, Riju, Sidon, his son "Tulin", and Riju's sandseal "Patricia" all were sent back in time and helped defeat the Calamity and how things changed.

It... was very emotional. The Princess and I listened to how an alternate timeline now existed. All our pain and suffering in this timeline still existed. We lost everyone we cared about, but in that time? People were lost, but it was not a mass genocide like it was for us.

After a lot of processing, we thanked Teba for telling us and traveled back home, it took us days to get back, but once we got to my house in Hateno, Zelda and I collapsed into each other in front of the picture of the Champions and sobbed, holding each other and thinking about what Teba had described. It was just as Teba said it was: bittersweet.

After a week of discussing and grieving, we decided to host a ceremony for the heroes of that timeline. We declared Teba, Sidon, Yunobo, and Riju as "the new Champions" and after the ceremony, over the course of 2 years, we destroyed as much of the Sheikah technology as we could. Or reusing things that we knew that if Calamity Ganon ever returned, he wouldn't be able to use against us like he did before.

Hello. Sooga kin here. My source is Legends of Zelda : Age of Calamity. I'm primarily in search of Master Kohga but any Yiga clan member can contact me through messages. I'll also attempt to check back for reblogs as well if you'd prefer I contact you first. I'm not sure how I feel about doubles just yet but I've never been against them before so I'm sure it'll be fine if you contact me. I remember being in a relationship with Master Kohga, not particularly looking for a relationship in this life but you never know which is why I'll state that I'm a minor.

🌷

[obscurekin]

Interview with the Writer

Thanks for the tag @intangiblyyourswrites

Name: DeiliaMedlini (Ao3/Tumblr) & Della Ithilien (FFN)

Fandoms: Legend of Zelda as a writer, but a reader of many

Where you post: Mostly Ao3 & FFN, and now Tumblr!

Most popular oneshot: I only have a couple and two are duds, so it’s got to be “For Zelda” which I actually really enjoyed writing

Most popular multichapter: On Ao3 it’s Alone With You but it’s Spirit of the Goddess on FFN

Favorite story you’ve written so far: Easily Unbroken!! I am so proud that I kept up with daily updates that whole time, and that Zelink is still my baby, and I miss writing that fic so much

Fic you were nervous to post: Legitimately, I have a mini panic attack every time I am about to post anything at all, even just a new chapter.

How you choose your titles: When I’m about to post, I wallow until something magically comes to me, or write lyrics on a whiteboard and hope I’m inspired

Do you outline: Never. I literally just can’t do it. I jot possible future ideas down, if that counts

Complete: 6 multichapters and 3 oneshots so far this year

In progress: *cough* I’m being called out! I have 9 in-progress, but only 4 that I’m actively posting right now: Alone with You, Spirit of the Goddess (the sorta rewrite version), Written in the Stars, and Of Kith and Kin, and then one more on a long-term hiatus hiding in shame: On a Cloud and a Dream

Coming Soon:  Hopefully, the other 5 in-progress fics lol: A ‘rewrite’ of On A Wing and a Prayer, an AoC oneshot, a modern fantasy pre-calamity retelling, a short Loz/Among Us sorta crossover, and a modern AU involving portal travel 

Prompts: What does this mean?? Hrmmm, I’ve only ever written using prompts for Into the Dark (Whumptober 2020), but turned that into a multichapter fic instead of individual oneshot prompts, so maybe that answers this?

Upcoming work you’re most excited about: This changes depending on the day. Right now, I’m having the most fun writing the portal travel AU!

Tagging: I think everyone who wouldn’t be confused by a random tag by me has already done this 😬 but if you’re reading this and want to do it, definitely consider yourself tagged!

[linklethehylian]

Currently working on a master post for canonmates- or sourcemates in general, but I reference things that happened in my canon that probably never happened in other canons. But it's also enough to be for all sourcemates. (Except doubles. Errr... Sorry Links and Linkles)

Anyway, it might take a while as I need to sort everything out and my ADHD sucks.

[linklethehylian]

Important memories:

Urbosa helped me start transitioning (MtF)

Zelda was turned into an anthropomorphic dragon instead of back to her Hylian form

I kept Rauru's arm.

Sooga played a role in trying to assassinate me during BotW and TotK.

My father was a Royal Guard to King Rhoam

I was semi-mute. Only talking when I felt like I needed to.

I loved to cook, shield surf, and ride my Master Cycle Zero

I was dating Mipha pre-Calamity.

I think those are the big ones.

[linklethehylian]

I'm literally crying right now. I downloaded the Breath of the Wild Minecraft map and.... I'm so happy.

It's so surreal. I'm actually seeing Hyrule from 1st person POV again. I'm going to go and try to fix up as much of Hyrule as I can, rebuild the ruins. And yeah, I'm going to be selfish and build Goponga Village first. That was my home and I need to rebuild it

[linklethehylian]

As I write my message to my canonmates, I'm having to take a step back and think about how I can't write a message to EVERYONE across Hyrule, meaning I'm basically putting the "playable characters" of AoC and the "Key Characters" of TotK lists on my list, subtracting and also adding a few just based on my memories of how close I was to them. If I could, I'd have a note for everyone, but alas... I cannot do that

Also, another thing I'm realizing as write, I'm mentioning things that happened in my canon. Which, yeah, obviously I'd talk about that, considering I'm titling the post "Dear Canonmates". But in a way, isn't it kind of alienating to those that aren't my canonmates? Especially when I bring up something that most likely didn't happen in anyone else's canon?

*shrug* I'll just continue writing it as is.

[linklethehylian]

Update: the post has been added to.

I'm separating the messages into sections (ie: "Dear Royal Family", "Dear Sages", etc.) that way people can go to their section and read theirs in case they don't want to read everyone else's.

[linklethehylian]

Hylia guide me. I can't do any of this by myself.

Din give me power. I'm not strong enough on my own

Nayru give me wisdom. I cannot see the outcomes of my actions.

Farore give me courage. I need it for when I'm cowardly.

[ashley-kins]

Linkle (AoC/BotW/TotK Link) here.

Made how I remember myself on Picrew.

Btw, if anyone from any of those games remember a transfem Link... We're probably canonmates. Feel free to say hi if you want.

[ashley-kins]

I'm kicking and squealing remembering all my friends. Like I had 15 friends across the span of 125 years. (Okay, technically 25 since I was dead and reviving for 100 of those years)

Zelda, Mipha, Daruk, Urbosa, Revali, Teba, Sidon, Tulin, Yunobo, Riju, Mineru, Purah, Impa, Robbie, and especially Fi: I love and miss you all so much.
