*post-botw but pre-totk*

Link: so it’s come to my attention that some of you can’t contract your pupils to deal with light. Thus I have created these.

Link: *holds up sunglasses*

Impa:

Paya:

Zelda:

Sheik:

Purah:

Purah: I’m sorry, you can what?

Headcanon

The shrine of resurrection changed a lot about Link. Chiefly though, it affected his body. Fangs, slit pupil, glowing eyes, etc. Gifts from the old ones to make his journey easier. Too bad they’re so unnerving.

WIP Wednesday - Paya Snippet

I was scrolling through some of my older scenes and found this. Seems to have some potential…

“This location looks like it could be around here.” Link tilts the slate toward Paya. “Would you happen to know where it is?”

Paya chews on her bottom lip, contemplating the picture. He looks at her expectantly, waiting for her to answer. “Oh n-no, M-Master Link. Sorry. I’ve n-never left our v-village.”

“What?” His eyes widen, and Paya thinks maybe she might drown in all that blue. “Why? Aren’t you like, twenty or something?”

“”Y-yes,” Paya answers, lowering her head and glancing over at him through her lashes. “L-like you.”

Link harumphs. “I don’t think I made it to twenty. Although, I suppose my age is relative. Feels like I just woke up from a nice nap; funny how I can remember how something like that feels, but not how old I am.” He glowers down the steps at nothing in particular. “Anyway, apparently what feels like a moment has actually been a century. So how old does that make me, really?”

“I - I d-don’t know, M-master Link.”

His dark look turns to a grin. “I could be your grandfather, you know. Wouldn’t that be funny?”

“Oh!” It is Paya’s turn for her eyes to widen and she clasps her hands tightly in her lap. “Um, n-no!”

And Link laughs before his brow furrows and his smile drops as quickly as it had appeared. “Sorry, I couldn’t resist. No disrespect to your grandmother. Anyway, you’ve really never left your village?”

Summary: "The Hero of Time, out of his proper time and place, is ready to do nothing but rest and relax until the end of existence now that Ganon is confirmed dead. But, when Purah lets it slip that one of her old experiments might be responsible for causing a time fracture, it's time to take up arms and travel back to the source to fix it.

THIS is the way the world ends. Not with a bang, or a whimper. But a fourteen-year-old screaming profanities in a dead language while he takes on an army."

Does anyone know the inspiration for the Sheikah clothing? I want to make a reference to it in something in writing but I don’t know what the specific names for the clothing types are called, specifically the jacket.

#I know there’s the haori jacket but is that what this would fall under? #botw purah #sheikah #totk purah #botw Impa #TOTK Impa #botw Paya #TOTK Paya #totk robbie #botw robbie

I'm not much of a shipper normally, but if you're still taking requests, how about something with Link and Paya?

(In my first BotW playthough I thought that they would be a cute couple because they're both in parallel learning to become more courageous, but I don't think a romantic relationship would have worked out long term. Even still, it's fun to think of them being silly teenagers with shy crushes on each other while Wild is still early in his journey.)

I entirely agree! They're cute, even if they're not really endgame material. I think Paya needs a little confidence, and a healthy relationship, even if short, could do a lot for her. Anyway. She's cute. Here's like 350 words, no warnings other than shyness. 💖

---

"Link!" 

At the call, Link turned from the pond, only to see Paya absolutely stop in her tracks as soon as he saw her, despite the fact that she'd actually called out to him. She turned red, but to her credit, she started forward again. She'd gotten over a lot of her shyness the last little while, and he was proud of her for it. 

"Before you left—I mean, I made this, a little while ago—and I want you to have it before you head out again." She held out a small, paper-wrapped package, not quite meeting his eyes. 

Link took the package with a smile, then scooted over just enough to make his invitation clear. Once she took off her shoes to dangle her feet in the fish pond next to him, he gently pulled the paper off. He unwound a long strap, woven with a colorful but unified pattern, predominantly featuring black-and-orange koi fish. 

"The shoulder strap you have for your slate right now is a little worn down," Paya explained, brave enough to reach over and pluck at it now that she sat next to him and had broken the ice. Their feet bumped together in the water. "I thought you could use a replacement, or a second strap to layer, if you don't want to get rid of this one."

He inspected the bright colors for a moment longer, then pulled off the strap that held his slate at his hip. He rarely removed it, but this seemed like a good moment. It didn't take long to take off the old, braided leather and replace it with the bright new strap. He held it out to Paya for inspection. 

"You like it?" she asked, still not very confident. 

"Yes," Link told her firmly. He put the strap back on and leaned in closer to her, just a little. Their hands fell together without any real conscious thought. It was nice to have someone to sit next to and share quiet moments with. Link soaked up every bit of the peace.
