wip wednesday

it's wip wednesday! im getting back into the groove of "that parting need not last forever (it's dangerous to go alone)" after...a long time

At the edge of the plateau they both skid to a stop, staring down the long drop to the grassy ground below.  

“That’s-” Zelda hunches over, breathing hard, her hands on her knees and her paraglider wedged between her arm and her ribs, “That’s a long drop.”

“Yeah,” Link agrees, nodding, resting his hands on his hips and holding his paraglider the same way, “it is. Are you nervous?”

“Absolutely,” she sucks in a deep breath before straightening, mimicking him in putting her hands on her hips. “You’re not, of course.”

“Nope,” he shakes his head. “I could very easily leave you up here and win the race.”

“That you could, but I know that you won’t. You’re too nice for that.”

“Yep. So,” he grins at her, “what is it going to take to get you to jump with me? You have a paraglider, you know how to use it, and we both know I’m not going to let you plummet to your death. Like you said, I’m too nice for that.”

Zelink Week Day 6: Rituals

A little bit of botw Zelink, surprisingly haha :) @zelinkweekofficial

~~Zelda paced anxiously across her room, one hand twisting the fabric of her nightgown. Her morning so far had been an absolute nightmare, and the sun had only been up for nearly two hours. Usually, she would be heading to a morning meal, escorted by her handmaidens, knees sore from kneeling during her morning prayers at the temple. But today- today everything was going wrong.

(Yes, I'm sorry(ಥ﹏ಥ) but I am very tired, so the rest can be read Here on ao3)

Ancient Loz AU Story

10,000 years before the events of BOTW the Princess of Hyrule and the Hero who wields the sword that seals the Darkness first fought off the Calamity. With the help of the Sheikah, Guardians, Champions and the Divine Beasts. However, the hero and her best friend; the Prince of the Gerudo, were now missing. The only one to return from the fight was the Princess… Bloodied and bruised. She emerged from the castle alone. No longer the energetic, and free spirited person she used to be. Now, she is filled with a sole dedication to her Kingdom. But cold, and filled with deep sorrow. She orders the Sheikah to create shrines to train the next hero.They prepare the towers, store the Guardians under the castle till they are needed. Research started on the slate where it can be used for building infrastructure and even battle. Anything to help prepare for another Calamity.

The Gerudo Prince wasn't seen again and the heroes identity was forgotten But, the Royal blood of Hylia lives on….

Link is from a traveling caravan. His family has blood from the ancient Zonai tribe. He travels with a decent size troupe along with his sister, father and grandmother.

He meets Zelda during a festival where he was entering an archery contest in castletown. Zelda, who was disguised as Sheik, was also entering. She beat him at the contest(barely), but was extremely bothered by how good he was.

The festival goes on for about 3 days and at the end there is the sword ceremony where all the people coming of age(18) can attempt to pull the sword. She was presiding over it and witnessed him pull the sword and his whole life change. Not long after they meet officially and Link is appointed as her Knight; She introduces him to Ganondorf, her best friend from childhood.

And the chaos and comrade-ere ensues~

Over 3 years they travel, train, fall in love and wait for the day when the evil is supposed to show itself. With no sign of the great evil, they start to relax a bit. But that is when it strikes. Ganon travelling by himself at this time. Explores a cave in the Gerudo desert and encounters something ominous. Whispers in the dark speak to him and his fears and wants and his distaste for the King of Hyrule…. The voice is familiar, much too familiar, and before he can fight back it consumes him. When he awakes he is alone. He isn't instantly ‘evil’ but over time it twists his thoughts and actions. His closest friends and mother grow concerned. He becomes harsher and radical. Cruel. During a secret meeting with the King, Ganon assassinates him. Zelda happens upon Ganon covered in blood. She thinks he's hurt and is concerned by his behavior the past year. He snaps. He tells her every dark thing he has been thinking, and that he killed her father. In shock, and devastated, she can’t move as Ganon is about to strike her. But Link manages to get to her in time because the master sword was glowing, something he has never seen before but an instinct so old took over him. He races to escape with her. Ganon takes over the castle. But only as a steward because the King and the Princess are nowhere to be found. No one is the wiser to his malevolent plots. Yet. He knows she has to act fast since Zelda and Link escaped.

Zelda and Link make it all the way to Kakariko Village and Impa and they are all Informed that the Calamity is upon them. No one can believe it is their Ganondorf who is doing this but it is undeniable. They grieve, but they must act fast. With the help of the Sheikah they gather the guardians, monks and send word to the Races and Champions to prepare for battle. Zelda listens as Link hums an old Zonai Lullaby his mother used to sing to him. And it makes her remember something she read about. A story about there being an ancient Zonai device below the castle that would help defeat the Demon King.

Impa knows the tunnels She can help them sneak in. So they prepare to infiltrate the castle.

Under the castle they find the Zonai Artifacts that were left behind for sealing the great evil.

Ganon's followers saw them enter however and informed him. Knowing this is his chance he stops all pretenses and releases his power. Unleashing a mob of monsters and a cloud of malace into the castle and across Hyrule. But the Champions and Shekah are prepared to meet them.

Looking around for any clue. Trying to think of anything they read or that Link heard from his family that could be used to turn on the sealing jewelry. They don’t know how to activate it, but Ganon is going to be upon them soon as they had to fight through hordes of monsters beforehand.

Out of the dark behind them he emerges.

Zelda and Link manage to avoid the surprise attack. They both go on the defensive. They fight and try to reason with him. They can’t believe this is their friend, their lover. The fight is tough, because they all know each other's moves after training together for years along with the emotional turmoil. Zelda tells Link he needs to figure out how to activate the artifact if they are to succeed. She will hold him off. But by this point they are both exhausted.

Ganon manages to cut Link, spraying blood over the floor and the statue. Link falls to the floor and Ganon towers over him ready to strike him down, but Zelda blasts him away. Ganon turns his attention to her. Annoyed with her meddling and manages to land a blow on her also. Cutting the tip of her right ear off.

The statue lights up from the blood. The blood of a zonai. That  was another part of the Lullaby from Links family Zelda realizes. The Jewelry glows and expands before flying off the wrists of the statue to Link. He is surrounded by a green glowing light that blasts Ganon and Zelda back. The bands constrict around his arms and legs disintegrating the clothing underneath. He screams. Zelda watches on in horror as Link transforms before her. His skin is turning black and his bones and skin stretch until he is 6 ft tall. What did she get him into? This was supposed to help them what was happening… She is living in a nightmare. What else will she have to give up. She cries as she looks at him, feeling his pain and fear. His hair band she had given him falls from his hair. Rolling across the floor towards her. “..Zelda….” He says 

She picks up the hair band and goes to him! But he is not really responding. He is restrained and struggling within himself. His head is filled with the spirits of the Zonai he knows what he must do…he knows this is the last time he will see Zelda and Ganon. To seal the Demon King he must sacrifice himself. He says the last part of the Lullaby to Zelda and she knows. This is it. She kisses him. Though a bit strange now that he's so tall and his lips are cold. Ganon is getting up across the cavern from them, laughing. He mocks them and their weak attempts at thwarting him. One last clash. Zelda manages to get his weapon from him and Link plunges his arm into Ganons chest activating the sealing power. Glowing green. They both freeze in place and all is quiet. Entombed under the castle. The malice and monsters disappear. Zelda cautiously goes up to them. She doesn't touch them lest she break the spell somehow. The only thing she does is grab the hair bangle that fell to the floor in the final fight. It was the one from Ganon’s hair. And she left for the surface.

Alone.

Thanks for Reading! <3

Suggestive Zelink comic below the cut. Nudity and implied smut.

Based on this amazingly heartfelt fic here by @luftballons99 . This is from chapter 2 of the fic and I couldn’t get it out of my head, so I did the sensible (lol) thing and made a comic.

Link still struggles to fully express himself, even after his destiny is fufilled. He's a man of few words, and while he's become more vocal after the defeat of Calamity Ganon, he's still rather stoic. Zelda has come to learn to read him rather well, from the slight pinch of his eyebrows to the most subtle smile, but there are times still where she cannot place what's going on inside his head.

Then, one day during dinner, Zelda tells him about how when she was young, her mother had taught her different ways to slyly communicate during fancy dinners and royal parties. The one she remembers the most was simple: three squeezes of the hand or taps on the shoulder or knee. A simple way to say 'I love you'.

It doesn't go a day after that without Zelda feeling it. Whenever she finds herself working on her plans for the new school, or enjoying a book before bed, or even just laying in their bed, half asleep in the early morning light, she feels it. The tap tap tap somewhere on her body, with the only other constant being Link, and the expression on his face she once didn't know how to read.

(Post this is based on under the cut)

I thought this idea was super cute but didn't know how to word it how I wanted to without basically writing a ficlet

once Link finds out that Zelda is still up there, a seemingly permanent fixture in the sky, he visits her often.

during the first few visits he can’t bring himself to do anything more than simply sit with her and cry, tears wetting her mane as Link presses his face into golden locks. he missed her so much, doesn’t honestly know if he will ever get to see her again the way he could before.

gradually, it gets easier. Link visits Zelda more often, brushes fingers through her hair and tells her about his progress towards defeating ganodorf. towards bringing her home. he tells her about their new house, the one he’s building for them in tarrey town. the study he set aside for her, with the nice windows and a big desk. the stable in the back where her horse, Catherine, stays. he promises to feed her lots of apples.

sometimes, when he can gather the courage, link reads to zelda. he brings the scientific journals and textbooks from her workshop, the ones with words he doesn’t understand. he sounds them out to her carefully, tripping over syllables, practicing speech to ensure he doesn’t lose the gift while she’s gone.

she never responds. doesn’t talk back or give so much as a hum. link doesn’t hold it against her. he can still feel her there. the deep rhythm of her breath, the tears that have welled in her eyes and never seem to ebb.

she’s still there. he has to believe she is.

Ideas?! Breakthroughs?!

Okay. I think I’ve just had a big breakthrough on Before and After.

I had one of those nights where I was lying in bed awake at like 1am and my brain was running with thoughts. I had to note them down in my phone so 1. wouldn’t forget the ideas and 2. I could try to get some sleep, lmao

The idea I have is like... at first I thought “is this dumb?” but the more I thought about it I was like “wait, this may actually be quite good?”

And then I ran these ideas past @airplanned and he helped me refine them a bit more, swapping out the order of some things to get a “try-fail” cycle with a certain aspect of things.

I finally feel like I have a path forward, like, connecting where I’m at now with where I’ve always wanted get later with the story...

after knowing the whole story of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, I still can't believe Nintendo really went for the Princess and the Knight trope

#and i love it #zelink #botw #totk #breath of the wild #tears of the kingdom #cause I mean sometimes I think about the story #and I just wonder was it a fic that I read?? #did the calamity really happen and zelda and link went through all that shit and lost ppl they loved? #and link wakes up 100 years later with no memories? #but then only hears a voice of a woman to help him find his memories and learn that he's the one who has to defeat the calamity #plus how they didn't get along at the beginning #and somehow also became a 'from enemies to lovers' trope #then with tears of the kingdom the whole story just shows about the LEGEND of ZELDA #and the things she went through and what she had to do to save Hyrule #and link's whole mission for the entire game was to find her #screw defeating ganondorf he just wants his wife back #honestly best zelda and link by far in the zelda series #like what would the next zelda game be like?? #plus the game director himself is zelink shipper so 👀 #okay ill shutup now lol

[gaylactic-fire]

I see so much pre-calam Zelink and post TOTK Zelink but my god PLEASE don't forget about my beautiful daughter post BOTW Zelink.

Zelda's practically a stranger - someone who's only existed in fleeting glimpses of Link's memories. Link's a similar but fundamentally different person than the boy who lay comatose in the resurrection chamber 100 years ago.

They have changed beyond recognition to each other!! They have to fall in love all over again!! Fuck!!!

#fires posts #ramblings #zelink #post BOTW Zelink fic is also insane bc authors just forget / ignore this #*instant chemistry* babe are they even friends yet #but i digress #they have to fall in love again... and they do ♥️♥️♥️
