The Royal Zora Family That could fit in the picture
Wanted to do proper(?) height between them all. Mipha is 8ft, Layria is 6ft, and Link is a crippling 5'4ft, truly a short king.
Mipha & Link have had an unspoken intense relationship. But speaking it out would make it real, it was a risk. Both are very private people; their actions spoke in a way only they could understand. Secrets that only the wild could bear witness, songs only they could sing.
The approaching Calamity hung over Hyrule and its Champions like a heavy sick veil. The fear of losing everything made every waking day feel a march to their deaths.
Mipha had rushed to Links aid, together they fought in sync. Complimenting each other with grace and courage, it's the middle of the night by the time Mipha, Link and the wounded soldiers return to Zoras Domain. She asks him to come with her, wishing to speak with him, she's hiding something from him and Link is left confused.
They reach the biggest waterfall, it's nightfall and Farores winds gently pass by. The sky is glittered with stars and a full moon, this is perfect there is no way Mipha could mess this up. She steals herself, takes a breath, and utters a silent prayer for a piece of courage.
"Link, we've...we've known each other for the better part of lives. And every day I wake, I thank the spirits for all the time I spend with."
"While I was inside Vah Ruta, I had truly believed I would not survive." She pauses, taking a shaky breath before she continues. "But after the Calamity, I realized that I could not die with the weight that sits in my heart, my heart that you, and you alone hold Link."
She walks to him, revealing what she had been hiding from him. Her head is down looking at the armor she crafted. The hylian gasps, his eyes widening, ears perking upward, he knows what this is. His childhood was spent in Lanayru among the Zora, their customs are his own, but the shock still hits like an arrow.
"You know what this is, what I intend with this, but before you answer-"
"Yes."
There's a pause, Mipha lifts her head up to see an expression she'd never thought would be on Links' face. She lacks visible ears, but she knows what she heard. Yet she still can't believe it.
"...What?"
"I do." he says this with every ounce of confidence in his body. His words leaving no room for argument.
He walks forward, closing the small gap between them and gently cups her face, her scales smooth and beautiful under moons light. He strokes he thumbs across her cheeks. He smiles at her with such softness that she's only seen in their most passionate moments hidden away from the world.
"Do you think I would say no?" he asks with a hint of humor.
Miphas' cheeks burn and she knows Link can see and feel it. She huffs out her gills in disbelief.
"Will you at least grant me the right to ask you Link?" Golden meets bright blue, gods she could swim in his eyes for the rest of her days.
"Only if I get to brag that you asked me, especially to Revali." his smile grows wide at the idea of it all, he briefly lets his imagination run wild.
Mipha puffs out her cheeks, then deflates. She takes a knee and presents the armor as intended, as her mother did for her father.
"Link La-ref Ragnar, first of your name and first born of your family. My friend, my fellow Champion, my dearest and only love, will you grant me the honor of your hand, your heart, your soul, your spirit, and the right to call mine in the eyes of our people, our gods, in this life and in death? Where the only thing who could take you from me is your own two feet."
Link smiles, bright and contagious with tears ready to fall. He bends to Miphas' level, placing his hands atop the armor she made for him.
"Mipha De Bon, first of your name, first-born of your family and heiress to Lanayrus' throne and the Zora crown. I grant onto you, the right to call me yours in the eyes of our people and our gods in this life and in death. So long as you grant me the right to do the same, where the only being who could take you from me is your own two feet."
The tears finally fall and they embrace. Mipha, now overflooded with joy, picks Link up and spins him around, their joy and laughter aloud for all to hear. She stops eventually, the two look at each other, by the years end they will Husband and Wife. By the years end they will truly be each others' in the eyes of those who matter to them.
Link is eager to try on the armor and Mipha helps him into it. By the golden three he looks perfect in it, the blue she picked compliments his natural colors. Amidst her own thoughts, she pulled out of them by an assault of kisses by Link, he covers every surface of her face.
He stops only to breathe, his arms hooked around her neck whilst hers find their place around his waist. She pulls him close, foreheads touching, slowly leading him into a silent sway as she hums, he joins her.
They will share the joy at a later date, but for now, it is theirs to savor. This is their song to sing, with the symphony of the wilds dancing around them.
...
This is the story they tell their daughter the most. The story that ends with their song that carries her to sleep in her pool, only now it is joined by their creation.
Their Rantipole Princess, their little Layria. She will grow as all children do. But she will always be their song no matter how old she grows. The winds will carry it no matter how far she goes...

[-.-.-] Profile
The Silent Hero of Calamities Age. Champion of Hyrule, harbinger of late King Rauru, the Light of the Kingdom. Husband to Lanayrus' Queen Mipha and father to Princess Layria.
Link, from the age of 4 has only ever known a life dedicated to duty. The wild reckless boy he used to be was left to die the moment he pulled the Master Sword from that dam pedestal. All the agony and spine shattering weight of the kingdom, but he wouldn't dare vocalize it.
He truly believed that reckless little forest child was gone, he was proven wrong when his daughter was born as he watched her grow. Much to his dismay as she proved to be just as reckless as him. The family gets a laugh out of the ordeal, now knowing what his own parents went through with him.
Even if he wasn't the reincarnation of Hylias' hero, his bloodline doomed him at birth. From his father, coming from a line of imperial knights; has the strange ability to slow time itself, and his mother? A deadly Sheikah woman with the innate ability to see the truth in a person in horrid detail. His sister was seemingly spared of this life, something he's both envious and relieved of.
Link never truly knew fear, or the courage to keep going in spite of it until the Calamity and 6 years after that the Upheaval. The trauma of what happened to him keeps him up most nights, the fear of losing everything he's fought, bled and almost died for is his driving force to keep training despite the decades of peace....
[-.-.-] Abilities
Sacred Stone - Given to him by Mineru, the stone allowed Link to stop time altogether whenever he desires. It feels familiar to him.
Healing Via eating - Can heal most if not all injuries through eating even the most dubious of foods. He can also heal others with his cooking depending on what he makes.
Malice Manipulation - This ability was temporary but had it's uses no matter how disturbing they were. Majority of what Ganon could do so could Link, and he hated it. It hurt to wield the Master Sword for a while...
