Priorities are definitely in order here

Because who loves Feral? I do that's who

Summary: A certain hero finally sets out to get something actually done about that big bad thing over by the castle. Of course his shadow follows him for the ride.

Disclaimer: As unlikely and seemingly impossible as it seems, yes Link decided to do 40 shrines and get those 10 extra heart containers before even bothering with the Divine Beasts quests. He's just a frustratingly distracted person, doing glowy dungeons instead of actually trying to save the world.

Link hummed as he scanned the landscape before him. An inactivated tower stood in the distance, orange light becoming less obvious as the sun began to shine over the horizon.

Hearing grumbling behind him, he turned to face his shadow. Feral was squinting at the east, looking disgusted and uncomfortable. "What's up?" Link asked.

Feral grunted. "Bright," was all he said.

Link turned back to the breaking dawn. That made sense, he guessed. Feral was basically made of darkness. Of course he wouldn't like the big shining orb that was the sun. "Are you going to be alright?"

"Probably, other than being in a constant state of discomfort."

Thoughts swirled in his head for a moment. Then he pulled out his bag and began shuffling around in it. A moment later, looking triumphant, he pulled out what he was looking for. A black hooded cloak. He held it out to Feral. "Here."

Feral, in turn, looked mildly surprised. He accepted the cloak. "Thanks," he said, pulling the hood over his head. "I am now somewhat less uncomfortable."

Link shrugged, then turned back towards the tower in the distance. He pointed to it. "That's where I want to go next." Feral squinted, then nodded.

They started down towards the wetlands below. As they tromped ahead, Feral spoke up. "What even is your overall goal here? Don't you have some sort of like, heroic quest you're supposed to be doing?"

Link frowned slightly. "Uh... yeah? I mean, I'm supposed to be working on defeating Calamity Ganon. Something about the, uh, what do you call them... I don't remember, the big machines."

"So let me get this straight," Feral began. "You're supposed to be doing something to defeat a giant demon cloud... and you just haven't done anything yet?"

"Sure I've done something! I've been doing shrines, and I got the Master Sword."

"Alright, but what about the whole... big machine thing you just mentioned?"

Link shrugged. "I haven't gotten there yet. Actually..." He pulled out his Sheikah Slate, poking it a few times. "We're sort of headed in the general direction of one of them I think?"

Feral peered over his shoulder at the golden dot that marked a location. "If we're in the area we could go and check that out."

Link nodded. "First the tower though. I need to see where I'm going."

"Nah. Just launch yourself into the unknown."

"If there's a big robot I want to know where it is."

"What, don't want to get jumped by lasers?"

"Not if it's ten times as big as a Guardian."

They continued forwards as they quipped back at one another. Water sloshed around their feet, and the sun reflected off the ripples they created. Link hadn't been in an area quite like this yet, but he didn't mind it. Link didn't mind a lot of things, therefore neither did Feral. With the exception of the infernal source of light otherwise known as the sun. Feral definitely minded that.

In the middle of making a comment about how maps were overrated, Feral was interrupted by someone calling out. Surprised, the two looked up. A figure was waving to them from a pool of water. They exchanged a glance, then walked forward to the pool.

"Hello!" The person greeted. They weren't Hylian, that was for sure. They had fins and a long tail coming out of their head, and were red in coloration. Link didn't know what they were, but a prickle of familiarity echoed in the back of his mind. "Are you both Hylians?"

They looked at each other again. "Er... yes." Link wasn't entirely sure if Feral qualified as Hylian, but it was probably the best explanation since 'no he's a shadowy demon thing that looks like me' was likely not going to go over well.

"Wonderful! Our prince has been looking for a Hylian!" The person smiled, then pointed off to a spot near the tower where they were headed. "Won't you please go talk to him?"

Link nodded in response, then set off towards the tower once more, waving goodbye to the swimming person. Feral followed, sparing only a glance backwards before turning back forward. "Prince?"

Link shrugged. "Guess we'll find out what that's all about."

The tower ended up taking longer than they thought to reach. After punting around some bokoblins that were milling about the area, Link climbed up the large structure. Feral followed behind, making comments on how overly ridiculous the design was. After all, if only the Hero could activate them, why make them so ridiculously tall? Link said it may have something to do with the scanning aspect. Feral said it had something to do with trying to acheive an aesthetic.

After activating the tower, they examined the new portion of the map they had gained. "Looks like the dot wants us to go there." Link gestured in the general direction without looking up.

Feral, on the other hand, did look up. "Wow, you mean Rain Town?"

"Huh?" Link looked up to see what he was talking about. "Oh, wow." There was a dark cloud hovering over that area of land, sheets of rain pouring out of it. "Yeah, looks like that's where we're headed."

"Sweet, no sunlight."

Link stepped to the edge of the tower before pausing. "Hang on. Do you have a paraglider?"

"I... actually, I don't know." Feral frowned.

Link pulled his out of his bag. Feral examined it, then mimed a similar movement. A shadowy copy of the item was now in his hands. "I guess I do."

"Interesting." They pondered it for a moment before deciding there were much more interesting things to be doing. "Race you to that rock over there?"

"You're on."

With that, the two launched themselves off of the structure. After an eventful flight that consisted mostly of narrowly missing each other, they both landed at the afformentioned rock. This was immediately followed up with an argument as to who had gotten there first. As they walked they bickered over whether or not Link's toe had brushed the ground first.

"Hello!" The two were startled out of their debate. They hadn't been paying attention to where they'd been walking, and had come across a bridge. It was unlike the wooden bridges that were all across Hyrule, made of glimmering blue tiles and white stone. Two pillars towered above it at the entrance. They looked around for the source of the voice that had interrupted their very important conversation.

"Up here!" Looking up, they saw a figure waving from the top of one of the pillars. It jumped, flipped through the air, and landed directly in front of them. Standing, they towered over the two. "I am Sidon, the Zora prince!" He grinned at them. "Are you both Hylians?"

It took them a moment to recover from their shock. "Yes?" Link said, looking dazed.

"Wonderful! I have been looking for a Hylian! Two is even better! Although," he leaned down slightly, looking at Feral. "I waz unaware they came in such colors!"

"I'm special."

"Special! That's incredible! And would you say you're both great warriors among the Hylians?" Sidon, as he said he was called, seemed very excited.

"Er... yes?" Link glanced at Feral, who shrugged slightly.

"I knew it! After all, I am the Prince of the Zoras. I have an eye for these things. I've been watching you both, and you hold yourselves like no ordinary man. Please, I implore, will you lend your aid?"

"Aid? Aid in what?" Feral eyed the Zora with mild suspicion.

"The Divine Beast Vah Ruta," the prince explained. "It has been agitated of late, and poses a threat to our realm. I've been looking for a Hylian to help us appease it."

Link and Feral exchanged a look. "We can help."

"Wonderful!" He clapped his hands together. "Oh! I nearly forgot. What are your names?"

"I'm Link. This is Feral."

"Wonderful names! Although I feel like I've heard that first one somewhere before..." Sidon murmured to himself. "In any case! Please make your way to the Zora Domain. The rain from Vah Ruta makes the cliffs impossible to scale. You will have to make the journey by the road. Monsters patrol the way, many with electrical powers. However! I think you will be able to make it with your expertise! I believe in you!" His grin seemed to sparkle with absolute belief and joy. It was hard not to feel confident with that kind of support.

"Here, take these as tokens of my support." He handed them each a yellow vial. "It doesn't work on Zora's, but should be able to provide you with electrical resistance. I will follow your progress from the waters. Good luck." He waved, and dove into the river nearby. He was out of sight before long.

"Well, that was interesting." Feral turned to Link. "You okay there?"

Link still seemed rather dazed. "Really big." He muttered. "Very energetic. Big smile." He shook his head. "Divine Beast. Right. That's what they were called."

"Are you still in shock from Mr. Fish Prince there?"

"Aren't you? He's a big muscley shark dude who was extremely friendly."

"Yes. Definitely muscley." Feral hummed. "Anyway, this is part of your quest to save Hyrule from utter destruction?"

"Looks that way. Guess we head up this path?"

"Seems that way. At least there's no sun over here. I will be far more comfortable."

"Good for you. Can't wait to get sopping wet."

"Oh, shut it."

"You shut it first."

The two resumed bickering. This time, however, they were walking with a destination in mind. The dirt below their feet turned to mud as they trekked towards the Zora Domain.

"Bet you I'll get there first."

"Not if I have anything to say about it."

Title: A Topaz in the Rough

Rating: Everyone

Pairing: Prince Sidon / Link, Sidlink

Tags: Established Relationship, Fluff, Kissing, Domestic Fluff, Gift Giving

Summary: Link rushes into the Domain with a special gift in hand, created with the thought that elixirs don’t work on Zora but perhaps topaz might provide a similar effect...

A/N: Written for @sidlinkweek for the second day prompt, Jewelry (and yes, I know, yet again, that I am very late!)

Cross posted on my AO3!, Prompt requests are still open so if you have an idea you’d like to read, send it my way! Kudos, reblogs and comments are very much appreciated! Thank you!

Standing in his usual spot, quietly surveying the goings-on in the Domain with a thoughtful expression on his handsome face, was the exact person he had been looking for. Clasping the parcel to his chest, excitement fluttering his chest like a startled bird, Link carefully raced up the stairs, forcing himself to be mindful of each step as the Domain was always usually a bit slippery. He had learned that the hard way and had no intention of repeating that lesson.

As he reached the top of the stairs, Sidon caught sight of him. The distant, introspective expression on his face was quickly replaced by one of naked delight. Letting out a joyful laugh, a huge, toothy grin spread across his face. Turning towards him, he threw his arms open wide, holding out his hands towards Link. Closing the distance between them, Link jumped into Sidon’s arms, sighing contentedly when they closed around him.

Squeezing him tightly, Sidon declared loudly, “It is good to see you, my pearl!”

“I’m glad to see you too.” Link replied, his voice much quieter. Snuggling close to Sidon’s chest, he breathed in deeply, pulling in the Zora Prince’s scent, and felt all the tension in his body bleed away. He felt like a man who had just gotten a drink of cool, fresh water after a long period of dehydration.

“What brings you to the Domain?” Sidon asked, leaning back slightly so they could look each other in the eye. His lips quirked into a playful smile. Reaching up, he tucked a tendril of yellow air behind Link’s ear, “Other than just to see me.”

“Only you.”

“You’re only here to see me? Well, I am honored, my lovely pearl.” As though to emphasize that statement, Sidon leaned down to place a small kiss on the tip of his nose, then seemed to decide that wasn’t enough as he quickly kissed his cheeks, forehead and lips as well.

Scrunching up his cheeks, Link laughed softly, “I have a gift for you.”

Sidon’s eyes widened slightly in surprise before his expression slipped back to careful thoughtfulness. Cocking his head, the Zora Prince responded with, “My pearl, you being here is the greatest gift I could ever ask for.”

A startled jolt ran through Link’s body. Heat flooded into his cheeks, surely turning them a bright shade of red, and he dropped his eyes to the silver, luminous floor. Nervously playing with the parcel in his hands, fuzzy happiness making an absolute idiot of itself inside his mind, Link didn’t trust himself to say anything so he just thrust the parcel forward. He heard Sidon chuckle from somewhere above him, then broad fingers were gently playing with the tip of one of his ears.

“I never would have expected you to be so incapable of handling simple statements of adoration.” Sidon teased, taking the parcel from Link with his other hand.

“Sorry.” Link mumbled, unconsciously leaning into Sidon’s touch. Normally, he didn’t like people touching his ears - they were a sensitive area of his body - but the Zora Prince was the only exception. In fact, he couldn’t get enough of it.

“No need for that.” Sidon placed a kiss against his temple, “One day, you’ll be able to handle it and deliver them back, but until then, I will simply enjoy how adorable you are.”

“You mean you won’t after I manage to bowl you over with my superior declarations of love?” Link replied, forcing himself to raise his head so his gaze met Sidon’s, straightened his back and hoped his voice properly conveyed a sense of confidence.

Sidon appeared to think about it for a moment before he favored Link with a wide, dazzling smile, “You’re right, that was an incorrect statement. I do believe I shall always find you adorable, my pearl but I shall eagerly await those superior declarations of love nonetheless.”

Deflating a little, knowing that this was a battle that he was not capable of winning as Sidon was always going to be ahead of him in this particular area, Link tugged on a lock of hair, resisting the urge to just turn and walk away, and said, “Just open it.”

The Zora Prince proceeded to do so, after ruffling Link’s hair gently. With careful, precise movements, Sidon pulled apart the rather sloppily wrapped parcel. Link watched anxiously, fidgeting from one foot to the other. In no time at all, Sidon had revealed the item within. Cocking his head in confusion once again, he squinted slightly, “I will be honest, Link - this was not what I was expecting.”

Out of the parcel paper, Sidon pulled out a length of a looped chain. Hanging from it was a yellow stone, wrapped in an intricate casing of silver strands. It had been specially made by a Isha, a jeweler in Gerudo Town. Link was rather proud of it, though he hadn’t had a single hand in making it, other than finding the topaz (which, granted, hadn’t been easy). He had thought it would make the perfect gift for Sidon but now, seeing the look of confusion on his face, worry began to rear its ugly head. Had he picked the wrong thing? Was it considered an offensive to give jewelry to a Zora? Did topaz have some kind of unpleasant meaning that he hadn’t been aware of?

“It’s beautiful, Link. Thank you!” Sidon said, his eyes glued to the stone, the tone of his voice, full of delight, completely wiping away all of Link’s worries. In an abrupt movement, Sidon suddenly swooped down and placed a quick, sweet kiss against his lips.

Smiling bashfully, resisting the urge to giggle like an idiot, he scratched the back of his head, immensely grateful that his worries had been unfounded and hoping there were more kisses to come, “You’re welcome.”

“Why jewelry, though? As I said, I would not have expected that.”

“It’s special.” Link explained, “It gives the wearer shock resistance.”

Sidon’s head jerked up in surprise, eyes widening, “That’s incredible! How is it able to do that?”

Link shrugged, “I’m not really sure. The stone, Topaz, has something to do with it but that’s all I know. Well, that and I know it works because I made use of one when I was taking on Naboris.”

Dropping his gaze once more, he played with the hem of his shirt and continued on quietly, “I know elixirs don’t work for Zora so I thought that something like this probably would. So now, electricity won’t be able to affect you as much.”

There was a moment of silence then Sidon laughed, a bubbly, exuberant sound that made the center of Link’s chest feel all fuzzy. Raising his head, he tucked a loose strand of hair behind his ear, the corners of his lips turning up into a soft, somewhat confused smile. Holding the necklace in the palm of his hand, Sidon lightly rubbed the pad of his thumb against the stone, and said, “Jewelry is unexpected but your reasoning is not. Thank you, Link. I cannot accurately describe to you how happy this gift makes me.”

Feeling as though his smile must have morphed into bit of a stupid grin, Link shyly asked, “Can I put it on you?”

“Of course!” Sidon declared happily.

He handed Link the necklace then took a step back so he could bend down to Link’s level. Holding the chain in both hands, he went to slip it over Sidon’s head but quickly realized that it was impossible for him to do so. Blinking rapidly, it occurred to him that he had never told Isha that the necklace was for a Zora so the size of the chain was appropriate for a Hylian or Gerudo but it was far too small for a Zora.

“Uh…” Was the only thing he could think to say, gaze darting between the necklace and Sidon. Eyes sliding closed as the full extent of his stupidity dawned on him, he dropped his arms and let out a loud sigh.

“What’s the matter, Link?” Sidon’s concerned voice asked from somewhere above him.

“The necklace is too small.” Link mumbled, loathe to have to admit his folly, “I didn’t think to tell the jeweler it needed to be made for a Zora.”

There was a moment of silence then the necklace was gently tugged from his hands. Opening his eyes, he looked up to see what Sidon was doing. He was a little nervous that the Zora Prince might actually try to get it around his neck, only to discover himself that it was too small. However, Sidon didn’t attempt that. Instead, he slipped the chain through and underneath the metal collar he wore. After carefully securing it, he took a moment to center the stone at the base of his throat then smiled triumphantly down at Link.

“Perfect! I love it, Link!”

Letting out a relieved sigh, Link pushed himself up onto his tiptoes so he could brush his fingertips against the stone, “I’m glad. It looks good on you.”

“Thank you. Now,” Sidon crossed his arms over his chest, leaning his head back thoughtfully, “I must think of an appropriate gift to give to you in return.”

“You don’t need to do that.” Link protested.

“I’m well aware. That, however, doesn’t change the fact that I wish to do so. This was a immensely thoughtful, wonderful gift and I must show my appreciation.” Sidon replied back, his tone and expression serious.

Knowing there was no point in arguing, that once Sidon’s mind was met up, there was no talking him out of it, Link simply shrugged in defeat. Stepping forward, he rested his forehead against Sidon’s stomach, “Can I sleep for a while in your room?”

Sidon wrapped his arms around him, “Of course. For as long as you like. Are you hungry? Have you eaten recently? What about any new injuries? Have you been drinking water?”

Snorting softly at the sudden rapid fire of questions, Link answered, “Yes, I’m hungry, I ate this morning, no new injuries and yes, I’ve been drinking water.”

“Good. Come along, then. I’ll have the kitchens make you something but first, we should say hello to my Father. I’m sure he’ll be happy to see you!”

Taking hold of Link’s hand, Sidon tugged him up towards the King’s Chambers. As he walked, light glinted off the stone hanging at the base of his neck. Maybe next time he was in Gerudo Town, he would see if he could get a longer chain so that Sidon could wear it as a proper necklace. Until then, he was just glad that the gift had been well received. And was also a little curious as to what kind of gift Sidon would come up with. Knowing him, it would probably be a little on the extravagant side. Link could only hope that he didn’t go too fancy, though he had a feeling that it was fruitless to think it’d be anything otherwise.
