#Link making direct eye contact with rhoam: ònó

[phoenixcatch7]

Trying so hard to not start fic writing before I've even finished the game but I want so so bad to write a time travel fic where post totk wild gets sent back to pre calamity hyrule in the middle of a lynel or gleeok fight, like he's just covered in monster blood and guts with a mishmash of armour pieces (at least one barbarian piece) hair long and tangled, scars all over, wielding a ridiculously huge savage lynel spear tipped with dragon claw and dripping sizzling blood. Smoke coming off him. Arm looking half rotted.

In the middle of the throne room.

Several particularly delicate lords and ladies faint. All the guards are pointing spears. He nearly takes someone's eye out before realising where he is.

Once he realises when he is it becomes a race of time to make the right waves before zelda comes to pick him up.

#Link making direct eye contact with his younger self: that is a whole entire child wtf. #Link making direct eye contact with rhoam: ònó #100yl hyrule is very forgiving to feral cryptids who appear from the woods and eat fourty three apples in a row before vanishing #to beat up several moldugas and lynels in the span of days before returning with the rare ingredient to save their ailing father's life. #Pre calamity hyrule prides itself on Being Civilised. Link is not that. Oh he can follow zelda everywhere but that's his choice. #That's his (dubiously platonic) bestie who shares the same bed. He knows life as a knight sucked and that's all he needs to know #It's not like zelda wouldn't set something on fire if put in the same position again also. #In all fairness I think he'd try to empathise with rhoam because he's too kind not to but he doesn't have to like him to save his life #Plot points would include sneaking into gerudo town and pre link and him would end up doing the spiderman pointing meme #Rock roast eating challenges #Trying to convince him to sneak out of the castle before dawn. Sharing his sparkliest outfits. Doing his hair. #Spars that quickly become pent up screaming matches and fights to the death (they're both mostly fine) #Sharing cooking recipes and wild getting to learn about his past. #FIERCELY fighting rhoam on getting zelda access to sciencing of all types. #I wanna write it so bad ToT #loz #legend of zelda #tears of the kingdom #totk #loz totk #loz tears of the kingdom #loz link #time travel au #loz botw #loz aoc #age of calamity
