Skyward Sword Zelda

Design

Now for something completely different since Zelda is a commoner this time! I think the outfit works well, it’s not too busy but it also has plenty of memorable details (I especially like the sailcloth around her shoulders) and the green and pink ribbons in her hair. And while the overall design is very different from the usual Zelda looks, the blue cloth on her waist at least reminds me of the “aprons” a little.

Mixed feelings about the white dress, the Hyrule crest collar is great, but everything else in the dress is really simple and basic so it feels a little out of place. However I like the white dress when she’s depicted with botw Zelda in her white dress, it’s a nice contrast how one has long flowy sleeves and the other has no sleeves at all.

Character

Skyward Sword Zelda has a charming and playful personality, making her super likable, and overall she really feels like an ideal girl-next-door type. As Link's childhood friend she's incredibly supportive of him, but also not above calling him out for being lazy or lightly teasing him. And she can be quite stern and gutsy when needed, as seen when she puts Groose and his cronies in place when she finds them bullying Link.

To some extent Zelda does feel a bit too much of idealised manic pixie dream girl to the more down-to-earth MC-kun that is Link. A considerable amount of her lines are spent on speaking positively of Link too, and we don't get to know much about what else she has going on in her life besides Link and the Plot.

A notable example of this is her status as a student of the knight academy, why is that not touched at all? Why was her role to give a trophy to the flight competition winner and not take part in it herself? Even if she's at a different stage from Link in her studies, shouldn't she still have something to say about their shared goal? I've seen some fans attribute the fact that she made it through a dungeon on her own to being a knight student, but I'm not giving the game credit for that.

We do get to know that she was interested in the surface even before the events of the story, and apparently has a knitting hobby judging by the items in her room. Which... okay I've been a bit too hard on her, as it's incredibly rare for any of the Zeldas to have a hobby at all and I do give SS Link points for his wood carving hobby too. It's just that so many of her lines are spent on gushing over Link so I guess I would have needed more stuff that's specific to her alone to balance that out.

Once she finds out about her role as the reborn goddess she becomes more serious and gloomy, but is still very much recognisable as the same character. Which has not been a given in the history of Zeldas with multiple personas, so good for her.

We don't get to know a lot about how regaining an unspecified amount of memories of her previous life has affected her sense of self, but I figure it has had at least some effect since she sometimes switches to first person, notably when apologising to Link about involving him in the grand anti-demise plan (which at least to me clearly isn't SS Zelda's fault). Though there's not any question if the goddess persona had somehow taken over, since the greatest line of the game "I'm still your Zelda" exists.

Ultimately while I think SS Zelda gets close to the line of being too much of a perfect fantasy waifu, she doesn't cross it and remains incredibly charming.

Role in the story

The game has a very slow beginning, where a lot of time is spent setting up Link and Zelda's relationship and ordinary life. And while the characters are the biggest draw for me in these games, I think there would have been room to condense the story a bit. Even if you really like the characters, in a video game you can reach a point where you're just hoping them to get on with it so you can actually play the game, which isn't exactly helpful if you're supposed to like the characters. But if you don't get frustrated with the slow start, Zelda is set up extremely well as someone you'd want to save.

After the setup she falls into a tornado, and the first part of the game is spent chasing after her and trying to figure out what's going on with her. You get more information about her bit by bit, so she clearly remains as the goal. Once you do catch up with her, it's after she was just rescued by Impa, who chides Link for having been too late to do anything himself. For me this worked just fine because I was really bad at the game, so her criticism was perfectly fair, but I wonder how better players felt about when the plot mandates that their perfect performance is judged to be a failure?

Eventually both Zelda and Link travel to the past, where Zelda explains herself as the reborn goddess and commits to her duty to seal Demise's curse for thousands of years, which changes the game's objective from trying to solve the mystery around her to a more clear rescue mission. Sealing herself to magic sleep is Zelda's big moment and the the game really plays it up, and to great success because that scene is beautiful. After that she doesn't really do much though, like because her darkness-sealing moment happens in the middle of the game (and chronologically before the main part of the gameplay since we're in the past here) and the grand finale darkness sealing is done by the Master Sword, there's not a lot of room for Zelda and she ends up with more of a victim role.

It is also kind of disappointing how Zelda gets damseled twice in the same game. I guess I can kind of see that since Link and Zelda's relationship is such a big part of the story, it makes sense that her life would be at risk when the stakes need to be at their stakiest, but I really wish they could have thought of something else than have her be woken up from her magical coma for five minutes before getting immediately kidnapped for the bad guys' evil resurrection ritual.

The end credits show snippets of Zelda's life after she fell to the surface, met Impa and started following her duty. Which was of course great but also a somewhat odd place to put it, and made me wonder if it was originally supposed to be shown somewhere during the story but got cut. And then they just put it in the credits since the scenes were already animated. But in any case it's nice to see more of Zelda's journey, even if strictly didn't offer any new information.

Relationships

As usual Zelda's most important relationship is with Link, and this time there even is more to it than a single line that they're childhood friends. Or they are childhood friends, and while in general I'm a big hater of this trope being so common in Japanese media, at least here it's used with a purpose, as the Goddess' master plan involved specifically preparing a hero who'd go to the ends of earth for her reborn form.

I said about Link and Zelda in Spirit Tracks that their relationship doesn't get any specific development and is more just about that they went on an adventure together and you have to imagine that they grew closer during that. Meanwhile in Skyward Sword they clearly know and care about each other as people and it's not just about like, general human empathy towards someone in trouble, which certainly makes their relationship more interesting.

So as I complained earlier, a lot of Zelda's lines are about Link. She gently teases him for being a sleepyhead, goes out of her way to arrange him time to practice for the flying competition and knows to send her loftwing to wake him up, asks his opinion on her ceremonial costume, asks him out to fly together which is totally written to look like a date, and so on. Some of her behaviour comes out as so flirty that it makes me think if she's all astonished at Link for being so oblivious. And she states multiple times that she wishes that Link will be the one to win the flying competition, so she can do the celebration ceremony with him, or how amazing he was when he managed to do that. The last point was brought up so many times that it just got really heavy handed, and I do think that some of it should have been cut, but just as it was entering actual cringe territory, an alternate explanation emerged that she actually wanted to talk about these ominous premonitions she's had, but had trouble bringing it up and was stalling for time.

Also it's just beautiful how the whole sleeping thing goes full circle, with Link being the notorious sleepyhead in the beginning, but Zelda requesting that it's Link's turn to wake her up as she's about to enter her magic sleep. Really shows that she has a lot of trust in him.

Meanwhile Link doesn't talk outside dialogue options as usual, so you don't get as much from his side, but his expressions when he looks at Zelda in many scenes tell a lot about how he cares about her.

In general their relationship skirts around being a romance but doesn't fully confirm anything (or at least that I can remember). After Link wins the flying contest, a scene where it looks like Zelda is about to kiss him is set up, but instead she pushes him off the ledge to complete the ceremony. And maybe she was just so coy about the "date" in the clouds because it was all about trying to gather courage and find a good moment to bring up a difficult topic, and Link's determined responses how he'll certainly save Zelda are totally platonic? But like, obviously a scene that teases a possible kiss is put in for a reason and the game ends with a shot of their loftwings flying together after Zelda tells about her future plans to live on the surface and asks what Link wants to do, so I'd say you need some serious anti-shipping goggles to ignore what's being implied.

Also since I brought it up for Spirit Tracks, Link and Zelda hold hands in this game too.

Impa is in the game as well in the role of Zelda's bodyguard, guide and friend, and this time offers a more meaningful relationship with her than her previous incarnations. Impa is fulfilling her job at assisting Zelda do hers, but they also clearly care about each other. We don't get to see them that much though, so their personal relationship isn't defined too well. Like Impa acts as a servant and refers to Zelda with "your grace", and Zelda just goes along with it and we don't know if she tried to establish a more equal relationship. In one of the end credits snippets we see Zelda doing this cute happy skip when she's walking with Impa and it looks like she's having fun, and these four seconds are probably their most casual scene together.

It's also really sweet when it's revealed that the old woman who helps the cast in the present timeline is actually Impa, so Zelda gets one more chance to meet her. Or it's kind of funny how they saying their goodbyes in the past but Impa reassures that they'll meet again, and after some time travel from Zelda's perspective the reunion in present time is literally just a few minutes later, and then Impa actually dies and they're separated for a second time. But obviously it was about how Impa had been hanging in there for thousands of years so she could still help Zelda and Link with their duty.

In any case Zelda and Impa's bond is clearly strong, even if we don't see the details. It also makes me think of how different this is from BotW Zelda's situation, and how things might have turned out for her if she had a mentor how knows what to do and also is emotionally supportive.

Groose primarily acts as a rival to Link, which includes being a romantic rival for Zelda's affections. He's not any threatening at it at all though since his feelings are clearly one sided, but it's not exactly clear what Zelda thinks about him. He is introduced when he has hidden Link's loftwing so that Link couldn't take part in the flying competition, and Zelda immediately jumps in to take Link's side. After that Groose's character development happens while Zelda is away, and next time they meet Groose behaves in a more respectable manner and Zelda appears to be happy to see him.

Like everyone else in Skyloft, she also has her own loftwing buddy, and much fuss is made about how everyone is soul-bonded to their bird. None of this really shows up about Zelda's relationship to her loftwing, who doesn't even get a name, though to be fair neither does Link's. In general I think the loftwings were hugely underdeveloped considering how much time you have to spend on one flying around.

Zelda also has a father with whom she actually gets to interact with, but I don't get much anything out of that except that they have a normal/good relationship.

Which zelda's hairstyle is your most favorite?

oooo thats tough! If we are going by iterations I think Skyward Sword Zelda is my favourite!

when i first saw her I was in love. The straight bangs were so different to most of her designs. and having the wraps on her hair be colored instead of just white. If we are talking about the TOTK concepts I love the pixie cut and the far right on the top <3

thank you for the ask!

The Great Fairy Zarina

Based on @flammelikeshookdust's art. Find it here. It was so cute I got inspired and wanted to write a little bit of what happens in the drawings.

Rated: T (no warnings)

Tags: Fluff, romance, humor, first kiss, surprise kissing, Hookdust, Crossover between The Pirate Fairy and Legend of Zelda: BoTW/TotK

Summary:

James Hook has found his way out of Neverland and into an entirely new land: Hyrule. As he acclimates to this new land he hears about the Great Fairies and sets out to meet one. Out of her flower bud emerges the beautiful and charismatic Zarina, who takes quite a liking to James.

Read below or on AO3

“There’s a Great Fairy near Kakariko Village. Legend says if you offer the right price to her, she will upgrade your clothes for better defense.”

That’s what James heard since he found himself in Hyrule. It was a strange place, that was for sure. It wasn’t a tropical paradise like Neverland was, well, there was Faron but it was a small area. Most of Hyrule was rolling plains surrounded by mountains, deserts, and lakes.

Other differences of note: There were a lot more monsters in Hyrule. In fact, it was quite an epidemic of Moblins, Bokoblins, Lizalfos, and other strange creatures. However, James was intelligent, and he was nothing if not adaptable. He didn’t have his crew here, but soon he established himself as the captain of a small crew of Bokoblins. They were primitive, territorial creatures, but easily bribable by food and treasure, both of which he promised they would receive in abundance if they adventured with him. Also, Hyrule had fairies but they were tiny things, little pink fuzzy dots with wings. They were nothing like the pixies of the hollow. He was fairly certain they weren’t sapient, they mostly floated around like butterflies until he got too close, then they’d fly off.

So when he heard there was a Great Fairy, he was curious. Was it Great as in huge? Like a giant fairy? Or was it a title of some sort?

He wanted to visit this Great Fairy, both out of curiosity for how she compares to Pixie Hollow pixies, and so he could receive this boon to his equipment. Hyrule was much more dangerous than Neverland and he needed the upgrade.

He saved up his rupees, even some gemstones in case that was more her fancy. (What kind of price did she require anyway? It was left quite vague.) And with his flying ship, he sailed toward Kakariko Village.

The denizens of Hyrule told him to look for a giant, green flower bud with red thorns on top; it was the Great Fairy’s home. Sure enough, from the skies it was visible from a mile away.

After finding a place to land, James placed the rupees and gems into a pack and slung it over his shoulder. He also made sure to explain in careful detail to his crew to not follow him under any circumstances. The Great Fairy surely wouldn’t appreciate the creatures in her domain. He parked the ship far enough that it was a half-mile’s walk, and emerging through the trees he saw it ahead, the flower bud.

It towered over James. Giant flower petals acted as stair steps up to the ‘entrance’ of the bud. Hesitantly, he took a step, testing the integrity of the petal. He expected it to crunch under his foot, but it barely even bent under his weight.

“Okay…” he said, taking the next one.

He climbed the 5 large petals and looked at the bud in front of him.

“Erm, hello?” He asked, addressing the giant plant.

James reached out his hand but before he could try to part the leaves, the flower bloomed.

“Hello!” A feminine voice shouted.

Out of the center of the flower a giant, winged woman emerged, her arms to the sky and a grin on her face. The bloom threw pollen to the sky and the enormous petals folded open to reveal a deep red and pink flower. In the very center was a glittering pool of water, which the Great Fairy was submerged in from the waist up.

And the fairy herself, while she was giant she had the face and body of a young woman. Her auburn hair cascaded down her shoulders in rich rivulets. Under one eye was a dotted beauty mark. Adorned on her wrists were gold bangles and covering her upper body was a white and gold halter top that ended just above her stomach. It was much like Gerudo wear.

She put a hand under her chin and took in the sight of the man before her. His expression was a mix of fear and awe. He took half a step back as she studied him. She knew that look, she’d seen it a hundred times. He thought she might squish him. Adorable little humans, so very frightened of everything.

“I haven’t had a visitor in quite a while,” the Great Fairy said. “You’re a cute little thing.”

James blinked and his cheeks turned red.

“Great Fairy, uh…”

“You can call me Zarina,” she said, smiling.

“Great Fairy Zarina,” James continued, bowing his head. “I’ve come for your gift. What is your price?”

“So forward,” the Great Fairy teased. “You have my name, but I don’t even get to know yours?”

James stuttered. “I am – I am very sorry. James Hook. You can call me James.”

“James, what an odd name for a Hylian,” Zarina said, rubbing her chin. “In fact, you’re quite out of place for a Hylian; your clothes, your accent. Where are you really from, Mr. James?”

“I hail from a place called England,” he said.

“Never heard of it! Such strange names.”

“But before I came here, I was in Neverland.”

“Neverland!” Zarina exclaimed, her eyes shining. “How are my pixie cousins there doing?”

“C – cousins?”

“Yes! We are distant relatives, but they are so teeny-tiny over there. It’s adorable. I have to make myself small when I visit.”

For the first time, James gave a little laugh. Great Fairy Zarina was quite a peculiar thing.

Zarina’s heart melted a little, hearing the young man’s laugh. His shoulders loosened up a little, too. She smiled seeing him come out of his shell.

“Anyway,” she said. “Yes, your boon. I imagine you came a great distance to get here, James Hook from England.”

James nodded, unslinging the pack from his shoulder. He rummaged inside it. The gems and rupees inside clinked against each other. He pulled out a bright blue sapphire, deep as the sea, and raised it to Zarina.

“I – I don’t know what kind of price you require, Lady Zarina, but I think this sapphire quite suits your eyes…”

He found himself blushing again. Did he sound absolutely ridiculous? He hoped not, he just found it quite difficult to act himself around this beautiful woman. Her eyes glittered blue as she took in the sight of the sapphire, oohing and aahing.

It was quite a large gem for him, one hand barely big enough to hold it on its own. For Zarina however, she pinched it like a pebble between her fingers and held it close to her face to examine it further. Her rosy lips pursed together and eyelashes fluttered. James wasn’t sure if he should stare but found it quite difficult to look away.

Zarina had seen many gems but few of this quality. She looked back down at the Englishman, beaming at him for his flattery and kindness. He was so cute, she wanted to squeeze him like a kitten. And so well-mannered!

“You’re so kind, Mr. James, but I won’t require a price from you today.”

“You – you won’t?” James asked.

Zarina shook her head. Her curls flowed and the gold beads on her top glittered with the movement.

He bowed his head to her again. “Thank you.”

“Alright, James of England. Close your eyes and don’t peek!”

James straightened his posture, rolling his shoulders and standing straight as a pole, and closed his eyes, ready to receive Zarina’s blessing.

Zarina leaned forward, placing one hand on either side of her flower home, and pursing her lips, prepared to kiss James on his tiny ones.

She warned him not to peek, but it was hard not to when he noticed the change in light as she loomed over him. It’s probably just a cloud passing over, he thought. And just when he shrugged it off he felt a pair of large, lush lips on his own.

Oh!

He almost shied away. Not out of disgust or disinterest, but from the shock that this large woman was suddenly kissing him! James willed himself to stay still but what he couldn’t do was resist the urge to peek. He cracked one eye open, and just as he did so Zarina pulled away. Her eyelashes rested against her cheeks, which were a faint cherry red. And her lips were pulled up in a small smile. When she pulled back completely she opened her eyes, those long eyelashes fluttering open.

Zarina’s smile widened seeing James’ expression. His face was colored like a beet and a dazed look was in his eyes. He rubbed the back of his hand nervously.

“You look like you��ve never kissed a Great Fairy before!” she said, giggling.

“I, well, haven’t,” he said.

“I’m teasing, silly.”

Then, without warning, she scooped the little human up in her hands.

“Aah!” James screamed, his voice pitched as high as a little girl’s.

He squirmed underneath her fingers, his legs flailing in the air out of instinct. But once Zarina brought him to eye level he had a chance to process what happened and stopped. His chest rose and fell rapidly as he tried to steady his breathing and the minor panic attack.

“You are just too cute! So shy, but not a bad kisser! I could just squish you.”

James gave another nervous laugh. Then he looked over the edge of her palms at the ground that was now twenty feet below. A feeling of vertigo washed over him and he turned away, looking back up at Zarina.

“Yes, please don’t fall. Anyway,” she cupped him in her right hand. Then she raised her left and sprinkled magic dust over his head.

Great Fairy Zarina’s dust was just like pixie dust in Neverland. It fell slowly, like pollen fuzz, but glittered like starlight. Zarina’s fingers waggled until the last of it fell and all the dust settled on James, then she blew it all away!

“And there you go!” Zarina exclaimed. “Same clothes, but completely new functionality. How does it feel?”

James pinched his shirt, looking down at himself. It was the same outfit he always wore, the white shirt, the purple vest, the blue-gray pants, and the buckled shoes, but it all felt different. It felt softer, lighter, and yet more durable somehow.

“Thank you, Zarina!”

“You’re very welcome, James,” she beamed.

Zarina closed in for another kiss, smooching him a bit harder this time, and then set him back down. He wobbled a bit off her hand, and then fell face-first onto the flower. The Great Fairy covered her mouth and giggled. She’d seen this reaction plenty of times.

James brushed himself off and got back to his feet. He glanced up at Zarina like nothing happened.

“I won’t forget what you did for me today, Zarina. Thank you again.”

“Please come back any time. It gets lonely here, you know.”

James nodded. He slung his pack of rupees and gems back over his shoulder. “I will.”

And he did many more times. Even though his base was set up much closer to one of the other fairies, James usually made the trip for Zarina. She was the most beautiful fairy by far and he found himself enjoying her company the most. It came to a point where he didn’t even need his clothes reinforced anymore. Sometimes he just felt… lonely.

So it came as a surprise to him one day when he visited Zarina and she emerged from the pool in her flower the size of a normal human.

“Zarina?” James said, eyes wide.

It was the same Zarina he knew. She was just, well, him-sized! In fact, she was a little bit shorter. She had her signature white and gold halter top that she always did, but this time he was able to see the rest of her. She wore a matching skirt with the hem ending at her upper thighs. Standing there, she had slender legs and small bare feet. And poor James was thrown for a complete loop.

“Zarina. I – hi. You look… different,” he stuttered, blushing like mad.

Her bangles jangled as she threw her arms out. “I’m human sized!”

The fairy beamed, her eyes closed as she presented herself to him. She opened her eyes, expecting him to be smiling too, but instead he barely met her gaze and his cheeks were scarlet.

“I didn’t change for you to look away. Come on, James! We can dance together!”

Zarina reached out and yanked James toward her. With a yelp he lurched forward and caught his footing awkwardly. They both giggled.

“Sorry, I just feel… Erm, I don’t want to stare.”

“Why? I stare at you all the time!”

James let out a nervous laugh. Did she think he was handsome? She did call him cute a lot, but he assumed in a cuddly teddy bear kind of way. But with the affirmation she gave him, he decided to swallow his nerves and looked Zarina in the eye. With their hands clasped together, her hands the size of his, her eyes looking up at him instead of the other way around, her body pressed against his… all of it felt right.

“You’re beautiful,” he said, gazing into her eyes with his half-lidded ones. His voice was low as he said it.

Zarina’s eyelashes fluttered as she looked up at him. Her eyebrows turned upward and she smiled. The fairy’s lips pursed. For the first time she really got to see him. When she was large, she always saw her visitors just fine, but this time all the details made themselves known. The little imperfections – like a faded scar on his cheek, little hairs out of place, how James’ smile was a little lopsided at one end. But these imperfections weren’t bad, they were James. It was like she was seeing him for the first time; up close and personal, not like a woman and her pet mouse. But he was still just as cute as one.

Zarina was always the one to kiss James. This time, however, James kissed her. Tilting his head he greeted his lips and hers. James always appreciated her kisses, they were sweet and they filled his stomach with butterflies, but the drastic size difference made them kind of awkward. Maybe it didn’t feel that way to her. But for him it was a little daunting having a giant woman’s face right in his with her lips big enough to swallow him whole. So this was nice. Their lips slotted perfectly together and something within him ignited.

Zarina’s feelings were the same. The kisses were always nice but she had to make sure not to knock him over or smooch James’ entire head. It was nice kissing him at his size level. No, it was more than nice. It was magical.

James hooked one hand around Zarina’s waist. He was unsure where to place his palm, since Zarina was more skin than clothes. He felt very inappropriate assuming he should touch her bare skin, but he didn’t want to dirty her pristine white skirt either. Guiding his hand, Zarina placed it on her hip, silently letting him know it was okay to touch her. His other hand cupped her face; Zarina’s auburn hair tickled his fingers. His thumb swept over her cheekbone.

As she said before, James wasn’t a bad kisser. But with the height difference and the fact that he never initiated, she didn’t know he wasn’t just not bad, he was quite good! His lips were soft, warm, pressed against her own just the right amount. Zarina melted into him and gave a pleasured hum.

After what could have been seconds or minutes – neither were sure, James pulled away. When he did, Zarina had the dazed look he so often did. There were stars in her eyes and she blinked a few times.

“Sorry. Too much?”

Zarina’s shoulders hunched a bit and she laughed. “No, it was fantastic.” Her cheeks were beet red. Her dainty hands rested against his chest, and in each other’s arms they got lost in the other’s eyes.

“So, you mentioned a dance?” James said, brushing his thumb over cheek again, grazing her beauty mark.

“Yes!” Zarina said with a little jump. Her wings flitted behind her.

“Then may I have this dance?” James asked with a slight bow, offering his hand.

Zarina took it, yanking him again. The two giggled and danced until the sun disappeared over the horizon.

Wilds hair is the same. Like, the exact same. Rats nest, just more fine and a little longer.

Twi seems like a pixie cut or short undercut gal, anything to long blocks her vision and she hates that. Her hair is thick and a little wavy too.

Wind has a pixie cut too, but wears cute scarves or bandanas in her hair all the time.

Sky has medium length hair, and keeps it in loose braids when on the surface, or some other hairstyle gentle on her scalp. Air pressure differences and tight hairstyles do not mix well, that just screams headaches.

SKY HAS A SIMLIAR HAIR STYLE TO HER ZELDA??!?!?! JUST SHORTER!?!? Zelda even gives Sky one of her personal ribbons, and so they match T_T

Wind with a pixie is so cute!! Her grandma even knits her the bandanas as well as making a matching pair for her younger sister!! She totally tried to grow out her hair, but the windy surrounding does NOT work well with her hair!

TWILIGHT AND A PIXIE OMFHDJKFJFDS IMMA START BARKING!!! Her hair gets EVEN THICKER after she turned into a wolf. It grows really REALLY quick too!

Wild has multiple little braids, she's adds little flowers to her braids but they get so hidden by their tangled mess! She loves having it gently brushed, her relaxed as she lays down and lets someone she trusts just detangle it all.

Motivation

A little LoZ Animated Series fic for Linktober 2023 Day 14 and 15 prompts: Ganon and Favorite Character. 630 words. Also on ao3.

“Alright, Princess,” Link said with his hands on his hips and a sideways pull to his lips which might have been a smirk (or a grimace, or a smirk in attempt to conceal a grimace, or the other way around). “Be realistic. If you were reading a book about all the things that’ve been going on in Hyrule, who would be your favorite character?” He leaned back, chin up as though considering her, but with a quick squint and an uptick in his breath which would have revealed him had Zelda been looking.

She wasn’t looking.

She had her arms crossed, her head held high, and her eyes shut, facing away from him. A puff of air and an indignant sound in her throat may or may not have been genuine—but her heartbeat would have given her away had Link felt her skin, or had her hair not covered her neck’s leaping pulse.

“Ganon,” she said.

A sound of such disgust burst from Link’s mouth that a colorful variety of finches twittered their way with fearful feather-loss from a nearby tree. “Ganon?!” he said. “You can’t be serious!”

“I’m always serious.”

“But- Ganon?! Come on!”

“Why so surprised, Link?”

“He’s the bad guy!”

“He’s shockingly honest.”

“SO?! He’s honest about wanting to take your triforce and rule all of Hyrule!”

A bright red and gray feather fluttered to and fro, then struck the grass on Link’s right. A tiny fairy left a trail of sparkles as it zipped from the tree. It hovered at Link’s ear and drew a tiny little breath to speak.

“Not now, Spryte,” Link hissed.

Zelda opened her eyes a sliver and gave Link an exceptionally spiteful side-eye.

“And what exactly is it you want to do, Link?”

Link stopped breathing for about three seconds. He crossed his arms, his eyes dancing over her face and then over the curtain walls far enough from them none of the guards could hear. “I don’t know.”

(Spryte bobbed in the air with a half-panicked jangle. Link waved a hand in her general direction).

Zelda’s slivered eyes narrowed as she faced Link. “Is that so? Maybe you want to take my triforce and rule all of Hyrule.”

“No!”

“Are you sure? It seems like you might.”

“Why would you say that? Do you not trust me?”

“That’s not what I meant.”

“It seems like it was.”

Zelda breathed a long, heated breath out her nose. “You repel him and his forces again and again, and you’ve never slipped once.”

“….Yeah. You’d think if I wanted the triforce I’d’ve taken it by now.”

(Spryte’s tiny face fell into her tiny hands as she shook her head).

“So why do you do it?” Zelda asked.

Link’s face fell into a hush of soft lines, eyes a hint wide, lips a hint parted, eyebrows up in the middle, words he hadn’t said caught in his throat.

Zelda waited a long moment.

Then she scoffed. “No reason, Link?”

Link swallowed as Spryte vibrated a cloud of pixie-dust into the air. It irritated his right eye, and he shooed her, his hand insistent this time. She hovered out of reach for a moment, then zipped elsewhere with a high-pitched mutter.

“Hmm. A character with no motivation, who does things for no reason? That doesn’t sound interesting. Not a character I’d keep opening a book to read about.”

He scratched the back of his neck.

Zelda tamped rolled eyes behind her eyelids. “What did you want me to say, Link?” Her eyes opened with a marked prominence of dark circles under them.

Link opened his mouth.

He closed it.

Zelda shook her head, turned on her heel, and stalked off. She disappeared into the far side of the curtain wall.

“It’s for you,” Link said, his lone voice low.
