(inspired by Ganon's Requiem by ROZEN)

The castle cut into the sky, a testament to all that Hyrule had built, a reminder of all it had lost.

Link swallowed, feeling the hair on the back of his neck stand up. This was it. When he had left his village a year ago, when he had waved goodbye to his sister and brother-in-law, he'd only had an inkling of what his journey would entail. When he'd left his village a year ago, he'd been a fisherman, a kid who was going on an adventure with the hopes that he could help rebuild a world that had been destroyed, a child of the Calamity.

He'd grown so much since then. Seen so much since then. Met so many new people, watched the hurts and healings of so many. He'd honed his skill as a fighter, he'd made new family, and...

He'd always known this day would come, but it had always seemed so far away.

All of Hyrule had fallen to the Calamity. Villages and town had been razed to the ground, all the champions had been murdered. Hyrule's greatest warriors had been unable to prevail over the beast, the princess had sacrificed herself just to hold it at bay.

His grandparents had died in the Calamity. His parents had died due to the lack of resources that had come in its wake.

His friend had suffered so much because of it. His new family had lost everything because of it.

"The Champions are with you, Link," his spirit companion said, eyes determined. "We'll defeat him together. You have the sword that seals the darkness, the abilities of the best warriors in Hyrule."

Link nodded, closing his eyes and shutting out the view of the foreboding castle. This was it.

It was time.

Marching ahead, Link opened his eyes, drawing the Master Sword and feeling it hum in his hand, warmth and light surrounding and filling him.

I can do this.

"Where do you think you're going? This field and the city will be covered in guardians."

Link paused, turning back to see the knight who had taught him and guided him since he'd acquired the blade. Abel watched him with a stern demeanor, but the worry in his eyes was evident.

"It's time," Link said solemnly. "The Divine Beasts are free. All that's left is Ganon."

"What was your plan, just going in alone, walking all dramatic while we stand here and watch you with awe?" Lyra asked, crossing her arms and furrowing her brow.

"We're going with you," Abel immediately confirmed.

"But--"

"Don't even try it," Lyra cut in, walking up to him. "I want that beast's blood on my sword. I want to hear it scream."

"Besides," Abel added as he also approached. "I can guide you to him."

Link looked at them uncertainly. "I don't want you to get hurt."

"That's cute," Lyra quipped, walking beyond him. "I was going to say the same thing. Now let's go kick his ass."

Link turned to watch her go, anxiety eating away at him. He was already scared, he--

A hand settled on his shoulder, warm, heavy, and comforting. He looked back and saw Abel watching him.

"I wasn't there to protect my son," Abel said quietly. "I will not make that mistake again. You fight for all of Hyrule, Link. Let Hyrule fight with you."

Link watched him a moment, his eyes stinging, heart swelling with emotion, throat tightening in response. He couldn't adequately express how terrifying this was, nor how relieved he was at hearing Abel's words. He leapt forward, slamming into the knight's chest and wrapping his arms around him. Abel stood there for a moment, stunned, before gently returning the hug.

Reading loz/lu fics and it's just so interesting how wide the spectrum is of their personalities.

Sometimes it's got an in universe reason (different past (usually gender or species change), recent or ongoing traumatic events, a spectacularly bad first meeting), but sometimes (often) the characters are just... Weirdly angsty or peppy, there's no in between!

And I'm beginning to think less people have played more than one game than I thought XD.

Not that it's anyone's fault! One game is more than enough to be part of it all, and loz is exclusive to Nintendo consoles - and all the older stuff is frustratingly hard to get hold of. Heck, I'm still looking for wind waker, and that was really popular! And then you have to play it! They're not small games!!

But could people writing wild please ease off just a tiiiiiny bit so he can be a semi functional member of society pretty please XD? He's just as much a polite boy as any other member of the chain! He won't even run in shops! He can't attack npcs! He talks to every single person he's ever seen and remembers every single name. Yes, he's three quarters woodland creature with a hefty amount of trauma but he's also a fashionista who managed to avoid accidentally taking sides in a mayoral election and that's not easy!

Link sneezed as he exited the shrine. Man that place was dusty.

The Fallen Hero stood in front of him, waiting for him.

"Hey!" Link greeted. "Got the spirit orb."

"Catch any good fish?" his friend asked.

Smiling wide, Link pulled out his adventure pouch to show him. "All the best ones in the area! There weren't too many so I left a few in the water, but I can't wait to roast them for dinner."

His companion nodded, his smile fading. Link felt the mood somber quickly, and he recognized that they'd come to the issue he'd been avoiding all day.

"So," he said slowly, kicking a stone away. "Sir Abel. Figure anything out about how I should talk to him?"

The Fallen Hero sighed, looking down for a moment as if he were steeling himself. Then he looked Link dead in the eye, face neutral. That was never a good sign.

"I have information I need to tell you," he said. "I... should have mentioned it sooner. I just..."

Link watched him struggle for the right words, and he immediately knew what was wrong. His friend had never been good at expressing himself, though he was extremely sensitive. This cut far deeper than just failing a captain of the guard. He supposed it had to do with that guilt of his again. He'd tried to address it yesterday, but, well... his friend had died fifteen years ago. This was the first time they were talking about it. He guessed these things took time.

"It wasn't your fault," Link reiterated.

The Fallen Hero was silent a moment longer and then said, "He's my father."

Link felt the entire world spin. Okay. Okay, he hadn't seen that one coming. But he guessed he should have, because the more he thought about it the more it made sense.

"O-oh." he said lamely. He couldn't really think of what else to say.

"Now that you know that," the Fallen Hero continued as neutrally as possible, "There are some things I need to tell you. And something I... a favor I would like to ask."

Link took a shaky breath, swallowing. He was eager to help his friend, and so he nodded.

XXX

It was getting late. He began to head back to his house, but someone stood between him and the bridge.

It was that kid. The swordsman.

Abel stared at him a moment, sizing him up. When nothing happened, he said, "You're in my way."

The kid flinched, letting out a nervous chuckle. "Uh, y-yeah. I..."

The air filled with the sound of crickets and trickling water as the swordsman fumbled to find the right words. Then he waved his hands anxiously, stepping aside. "You're right, I am! Sorry."

Abel stared at the boy a moment longer before walking by him, too annoyed to bother trying to figure out what that was all about.

As he passed, Link could practically feel the icy wind slam into him. He was usually really good about talking to anyone, but this guy was beyond intimidating. He had to do this for so many reasons, but good grief. He turned away, his heart fluttering with fear, and he caught sight of his spiritual guide staring at him exasperation.

"What?" Link hissed. "He's terrifying!"

The Hylian Champion sighed heavily. His frustration latched on to the Lurelin native's heart, and Link took a steadying breath, turning towards the house just as the knight closed the door behind him.

I can do this. I can do this.

Slowly, Link walked across the bridge. The house he approached looked a little dilapidated, with overgrown flora and a few shingles missing from the roof. It looked like there used to be a stable to the right of the house, but the wood was half rotted.

The place spoke of stories and love and loss. Link could feel the sadness hanging heavily in the air like humidity.

Link's resolve overcame his fear, and he finally made it all the way to the front door, pulling out a small cloth that wrapped his gift and knocking on the wood.

When the door opened a few moments later to reveal the knight once more, Link's fear returned.

Clearing his throat nervously, he said, "Um, hi again."

Sir Abel's dull eyes grew narrower as his brow furrowed. "What do you want, child?"

Link swallowed, holding the cloth forward with both hands. "I made you something."

The knight raised an eyebrow, hesitantly reaching for the item. "Why?"

"It's from Link!" the swordsman said cheerily before realizing his mistake.

"He can't see me!" his friend hissed frantically.

Sir Abel's face drained of blood for just a moment before it became flush with anger. "You came all this way to mock me? Don't you dare even say his name."

He slammed the door at that, with Link's gift left on the floor. The former fisherman stared at the wood helplessly, his heart hurting and racing at the same time, and he slowly picked up the discarded item, bits of rice falling out of the cloth. When he glanced hesitantly at his predecessor, he saw the champion looking like he was on the verge of tears as he stared at the door.

Fear was quenched by indignant, protective anger, and Link knocked on the door more forcefully. He was going to get this right. When it swung open hastily, the knight's ire evident, he couldn't help the nervous step back that he took.

But he didn't back down.

"Lyra," he said shakily, watching the man's face twist in suspicion. "When she was two, she climbed the roof of the stable because she saw her brother climbing the roof of the house. She wanted to climb as high as him. He jumped from the house to the stable to make sure she didn't fall. Nearly broke his ankle in the process."

Sir Abel stared, his fury slowly fading, face draining of color.

"Link met Princess Mipha while you two were wrestling in the plaza of Zora's Domain," Link continued, gaining some confidence. "You were tickling him and you saw a little Zora. Link said she looked weird.

"When Link found the Master Sword his mother cried. He didn't know why, but it stuck with him for the rest of his life. Lyra lost her first tooth in the middle of the night and woke Link up to show him before he ran to you because random teeth sitting around creep him out. Link used to make a special meal for you when you both had enough time to stay together and your wife Tilieth wasn't cooking."

The haunted look on the man's face seemed to say enough, and Link paused. Eventually, Sir Abel whispered shakily, "Who the hell are you?"

The Hero of Hyrule stood straighter after he picked up the discarded gift, unfolding it to reveal the hearty rice balls that his guide had taught him how to cook. Then he held it out to him. "I'm Link. I'm your son's successor."

outfits that i wish were in totk

[hylianchampion17]

Bolson totk headcannon

i think the reason Bolson doesn’t remember Link is because they probably see each other every other day. Since the events of BOTW, Bolson (along with Hudson, Rhodson, and Karson) were probably connected closely with Zelda when she started the Hyrule restoration project.

seeing a co-worker/friend every day for indefinite periods of time wouldn’t warrant a big greeting. they both know what the situation is, and probably don’t have time for small talk. imagine seeing your close co-worker everyday and saying “oh i remember you!”. it just isn’t necessary. either way, love you Bolson. never stop slaying ❤️

edit: this still doesn’t explain why Bolson never said hi after Link’s disappearance in the upheaval. i think that’s just for game reasons tho
