I’ve been obsessed with Princess Bride lately and felt like sketching for hours tonight, so this happened

Well this was fun!! OoT Zelink of course 😇

I had never seen the movie and it’s awesome!! I actually watched it because of this wonderful LoZ x Princess Bride fic: Crowns of Deception by Forlorn Rain

And now I’m reading the book haha ✌🏻

(The fun thing with Link is that he actually is left-handed, unlike Westley 😁 also that Ganondorf is the best thing I’ve ever drawn)

“I am your…guide, I suppose is the best way to say it,” It says, Saria’s voice smothered by the simmering magic in its words, “I make you comfortable, give you something recognizable, and help you move on to the afterlife, but I’ve grown tired. It’s time for me to retreat to the heavens and report all that I’ve learned to the Three.”

“The Three?” he asks, “You mean-”

“Din, Farore, and Nayru, yes.”

“What does this have to do with me?”

Something like sympathy enters Not-Saria’s eyes, green except for the way the refracting light of the forest turns them kaleidoscopic. “The Sacred Realm cannot be left unsupervised, and they’ve chosen you as my replacement. You’re going to help future Heroes reach their peace.”

OR

The Hero of Time rises from the grave, a skeleton in a suit of armor, and is given one last task.

OR OR

Another Oot Zelink Rant: Gatekeeping!

I keep telling myself I will stop doing these, but clearly I can not contain myself, so buckle up!

But what is it with the gatekeeping? I mentioned it before, but people continue spreading the whole "oot Zelink canonically can not end up together" thing. And I don't just mean Malinkers and nonshippers, but I also mean some popular Zelinkers, like artists and such who go like "yeah but no one actually believes oot Zelink got together/are able to get together". "The only way to ship them is the tragic way", etc, etc. You see, my rant isn't about saying these things shouldn't be liked even If I don't like them and It's also not supposed to be anti-Malink, because although I do not enjoy that ship (and fans certainly have ruined any chances of me liking it), I still believe in people having a choice. And I already made rants on how I believe it is possible that zelink did end up together, without ever stating Malink is bad.

But it's the whole "this is the only way" "everyone believes this" thing that pisses me off. Like stop speaking for everyone? You can believe whatever you want but you do not own the oot Zelink ship. Neither do I, no one owns any ship for that matter (unless it is a seafaring one). Let people have their own interpretations, headcanons, whatsoever. I suppose it is a problem with shipping in general.

So now a friendly reminder that your favorite youtuber or reddit/twitter/whatever thread saying Malon is Link's only option and Zelink is impossible still doesn't make it canon. And Nintendo certainly did not intend for it if they kept pushing Link and Zelda in other oot related content (interviews? Mangas they approved of? Official Art?). Does that make Zelink canon? No, it doesn't. But If Nintendo isn't willing to confirm even the most obvious Zelinks (SS, BOTW/TOTK) as canon, do you seriously think they will confirm Malink? But I got called a slur for my opinion before, so who knows if this wall of text matters.

Long story short: You can ship Link with whomever you like but don't speak for everyone on a specific ship and don't use false canon as justification to attack others. Canon is what Nintendo confirms.

Either way If anyone reading this feels addressed by this post, I'm sorry if it comes off as mean spirited, but I do think it is a big problem when people try to take other people's choices and (non harmful) opinions away.

Zelinktines Day 5: Secret

@zelinktines23

Pairing: Ocarina of Time Zelink

Rating: General audiences

Words: 1533

Link was hiding something. And Zelda was determined to figure out what. Every moment the princess asked to spend time with him in their courtyard he would always find some sort of excuse to decline her invitation. She had found him multiple times hunched over his desk with frightened reactions and embarrassed smiles after she asked him what he was working on, never getting a real answer. And what puzzled her the most was finding him rushing across the castle, clearly avoiding her whenever he spotted her, with multiple sacks. Each fleeting greeting and skittering action from him left her curiosity burning, and the princess set on a quest to quench it.  

Which is why it bothered her so that he seemed so persistent to avoid her the past couple of days.

Her hero had returned to her some months prior from his journey across the land- riddled with injuries and scars that tormented him both physically and mentally. The last five years had not been kind to him, and it pained her heart to see how much he had been hurt. She had prayed to the goddesses that she could alleviate his sorrows, and soon they answered with Link allowing his walls to descend and letting her within his broken heart. It was not long after that the two grew much closer than they had ever been before and decided to court one another.

Zelda could swear that not once she had ever felt more complete than being with Link. The way his hand molded perfectly into hers, how with a simple look she could just tell what he was thinking, and how their souls seemed to sing each time they were near. It felt to her almost as though they had been lovers in a past life, reunited once more. 

“I just can’t seem to understand why, we haven’t kept many secrets from each other since we both began courting, and whatever it is he’s hiding he is quite intent that I don’t find out.” Zelda explained to her friends, Malon and Princess Ruto, one afternoon over tea. Malon put a reassuring hand on her friend’s shoulder while she gave the zoran princess a subtle nod that Zelda did not catch.

“Maybe it could be something personal? Perhaps he was writing in his diary those times you kept catching him on his desk,” suggested Malon. That did sound possible. But it still did not explain the avoidance of the courtyard nor the bags of mystery items.

Ruto then spoke, “You don’t suppose he might have caught an allergy for a plant in the courtyard? One of those seasonal allergy things?” But Zelda merely shook her head. Her garden hadn’t changed much since she was a girl, despite her pleas to her father to get new flowers, and if Link had caught some sort of allergy he certainly would have gotten sick at some point. Nor would they have spent so much time in the courtyard in the past.

“What about Farore’s Day?” Malon said. The princess tilted her head.

“What about it?”

“The king is hosting a celebration for it right? Maybe he’s helping out with that?”

My princess,

Ruto nodded in agreement. “It sounds like something he would do.”

Zelda gave them a small smile. Yes, it did sound like something her hero would do. Even after he had retired the blade she found him being a hero nonetheless. It didn’t matter how big or small one’s problem was, Link would always do his best to help. It was one of the many things she loved about him.

She left her ponderings about his mysterious behavior at that for the time being.

Soon Farore’s Day arrived, and the kingdom celebrated in full vigor. It was a day in which the people commemorated the goddess who had brought life upon the world. They would put on plays, hold a grand ball where anyone was welcomed, and have a great time. It was also said that couples who professed their love for each other on Farore’s Day would be granted good luck from the Goddess of Courage herself.

Zelda awoke to the morning sun and spotted a mysterious note by her bedside. And though it held no signature, the princess knew exactly who it was from. 

Happy Farore’s Day! I am so sorry that we haven’t spent much time 

together much recently, but I hope that with the surprise I have 

in store for you will remedy our lost time. Meet me at our place.

“Morning, my princess.”

So he had a surprise for her. She could feel excitement fluttering in her chest at the thought of what he had prepared. Was this the reason why he had been so avoidant? It had to be. The princess quickly dressed herself into an emerald green dress lined with gold along with the pauldrons from her ceremonial armor. She was practically bouncing on her feet as she finished her hair and put on her crown. Her heart did not stop its drumming since reading the note, not even after she arrived at the meeting place and saw her beloved.

Her hero stood by a gorgeous garden that she had never seen before. It held a diverse array of flora from all over the kingdom that she had only seen in books or brief visits to those locations.

A crimson blush washed upon her as she took in the handsome young man before her. Link was dressed in a forest green outfit with a black vest that had golden trims along with black gloves and boots. His hair was neatly brushed into a ponytail, though his bangs and locks still flowed free. He looked absolutely beautiful.

She walked closer to him, with the softest look on her face that mirrored his, and placed a palm to his cheek before kissing his forehead. “Morning, my love.” She could never grow tired of how his ears twitched with giddiness and cheeks flared from her affections. “Did you do all of this?” she asked, gazing back to the garden.

Link hummed in response. “It’s the first part of the surprise. I know how much you’ve wanted to add more flowers so I went ahead to get them for you.” He took her hand, and guided her towards the little garden. “There’s the Sun orchids from Death Mountain, Nayru’s irises from Zora’s Domain, Shadow shade from Kakariko, Golden dusters from Gerudo Desert and last but not least, Deku lilies from my home.”

Zelda could only stare in awe at his work. He had done all of this, traveled across the entire kingdom to find these plants, just for her. It made her heart swell just at the thought of it.

“I love it, Link.” I love you.

It was then that her mind registered what he had said earlier. “Wait, first part? What’s the seco-” before she could even finish her sentence, Link pulled out a glowing blue stone from his pocket that hung from a silver chain.

“This is,” he said with a soft look in his eyes. Zelda placed her hands over her mouth as a gasp escaped her lips. Where did he even acquire such a rare gem? How long did it take him to create it? So many questions ran through her head but figured it would be best to ask later.

“It’s beautiful,” she told him, and  lifted her hair, “help me put it on?”

He gave her a nod and carefully put the necklace around her neck. “It’s called the Moon’s Tear,” he explained, his breath tickling her ear from the proximity. “In Termina, they say it holds the love that the Moon holds for the Sun, which is why it glows like a beating heart.” The stone rested on top of her heart, and for a moment Zelda could see its light beat in sync with hers. She looked up to meet her beloved’s eyes, filled with love and shined like the stars. He leaned closer, their foreheads touching as his hand lingered on her cheek.

“I am your Moon, while you are my Sun. And I will love you even after our souls become a part of the stars and our tales forgotten across time.” 

Zelda was speechless. The devotion that her hero had would never cease to amaze her, and she hoped that she was able to show him how much she cared for him in the same vigor. Her eyes flitted down to his lips, staying there before leaning in to press her lips against his. Link’s squeak of surprise made her smile through the kiss, and then melt into it as he reciprocated with his own. Her fingers found their way to his hair, intertwining with the golden locks as he cupped her chin.  

They could’ve stayed like that forever. But the need for air broke them apart, though they remained close. His smile was a mirror of her own, of every giddy emotion she was feeling in that moment. For once in their lives, the two truly felt goddess blessed and prayed that it would last until the sun set on their lives for the final time.

Hi @adrift-in-thyme! Thank you for sending in this wonderful prompt! I hope you like it :)

A Rainy Afternoon | Drabbles Masterlist

The rain thundered outside her window, the pitter-patter raindrops calming and purifying, distracting her from the mundane monthly report of tax proceeds she had to examine and log into her book and then reorganise the finances and – oh, the to-do list never ended, her head throbbed with a incoming headache at all the sums she would have to do in the next hour when all she really wanted was to curl up on her soft sofa, a hot cup of tea in her hands, wrap a thick duvet around her, and read something silly and lighthearted whilst the rain echoed around her. 

With a sigh, she called it a day and walked to her window, opening it a little, stretching her hand out into the splattering drops, and let the fantasy dream of what she wanted continue a little longer: ideally the hands of a certain someone would also envelop her, and she’d snuggle closer into his chest, and maybe he’d kiss her forehead and she – 

An arm wrapped around her waist and she startled, Nayru’s Love cascading around her and enveloping them both with her safe blue, before she realised who it was and dissipated the spell, a laugh escaping her at seeing him again. 

He winked at her, the cheeky bastard, soft blue eyes and a warm smile on his face as he leaned closer, pressing a kiss to her forehead, and wrapping her tighter in his arms just as she’d imagined a second ago, whispering, “I’m home, Zelda.”

Yes, I’m ZeLink trash. Especially OoT ZeLink. Preview and shameless self-plug for AU romantic fic.

Link doesn’t know she’s the Princess, so Zelda’s a little unsure of what to do when he likes her more than the Princess.

Statue (Ocarina of Time Zelink)

@zelinkweekofficial​

She stood still as a statue, watching him, examining every inch. It had been seven years, and finally the long-awaited arrival had come. She’d sensed it, she’d sensed the shift in the sacred realm and had immediately snuck into the Temple of Time despite the proximity to him.

 She had spent seven years hiding, seven years training, seven years fighting and helping where she could. She had been alone, isolated despite interacting with others, constantly fearing that her identity would be discovered. She had grieved the loss of her family and kingdom in solitude, she had grown stronger despite the pain, perhaps even because of it. She had sworn to make amends. She had learned everything possible about the Hero’s upcoming journey so that she could guide him after all the damage she had caused.

 After all, this entire disaster was her fault.

 If she hadn’t been so hasty to open the sacred realm… if she’d thought through her actions…

 She wanted to smack herself just pondering it now. But she didn’t.

 She stood still as a statue.

 He was… more than she had expected. She honestly wasn’t sure what she had expected, but… somehow he was beyond it. For years she had wondered what he would look like, how he would act when he emerged ready for battle. She had never quite been able to picture what that little boy from the woods would grow into, so young and innocent, his face still rounded with baby fat, his calloused hands so small, his large blue eyes filled to the depths with sincerity and excitement.

But here he was now, all grown up. He was strong, muscles rippling under the back of his tunic. She felt her heart speed up at the sight of it. He was tall, too. His legs seemed to be carved of stone beneath the white leggings that offered some protection from harm. The Master Sword looked right on his back, like it had always belonged there. Something about the sight seemed otherworldly. He seemed otherworldly.

 She was going to step forward and get his attention so he wouldn’t leave, but she couldn’t. She was frozen all of a sudden, filled with anxiety and anticipation. She had waited seven years for this moment, and now that it was here…

 What would he look like when he turned around? What would he sound like when he spoke? Would he even speak at all?

 What if he recognized her? What if he blamed her? What if he attacked her?

 She couldn’t move. She stood still as a statue.

 The Hero took another step forward, and then he stopped. She felt her heart seemingly stop with him.

 Slowly, he reached for his blade, suddenly on the alert, and her mind screamed at her to act.

 Taking a deep breath, she broke the spell over herself, and the silent statue came to life.

It was time to get to work.

 “I’ve been waiting for you, Hero of Time.”

Rant about how to make OOT Zelink work with TP Link being a Farmer

I had this rant stuck in my head at work so I have to get it out or I'll explode!

So child timeline: Malon has a thing for Link but Link has eyes for Zelda and kinda has to break Malon's heart. So what does he do? As Link trains to become a knight, he meets a guy (an OC I have yet to present) who seems perfect for her. So he sets the two up and they become a couple. Link works his way up the ranks and becomes a royal knight, eventually also getting a honorary noble title (those do indeed exist). And once Zelda is queen she can do whatever she wants and marries Link. Besides Link literally has the mark of the gods (triforce on his hand) in a religious Kingdom like Hyrule. I doubt he'd be just a simple peasant. Not to forget to mention the warning of impending doom.

So Link and Zelda have multiple children and so do Malon and OC.

One of Zelda and Link's children ends up falling with love with one of Malon and OC's children. The ZeLink child eventually decides it wants to leave the royal duties to the siblings and moves to the farm to be with Malon's child (giving up royal life is also a thing that happens sometimes IRL, most recent example being... the kinda messy one of Harry and Meghan). ZeLink child x Malon/OC child create the bloodline that leads to Twilight Princess Link being a farmer. There are definitely at least several generation between them. I've seen people mention that the 100 years between OoT and TP was a mistranslation and it's actually hundreds. Can't confirm for sure but makes more sense considering how vastly different Hyrule is.

So that means: TP Link is: A descendant of Link, Zelda and Malon. It's basically a second generation MaLink through their children. Sure it is a lot easier to go the Malon and Link end up together route, but as long as Nintendo never confirms MaLink, It's pretty valid to go another way with your headcanon. That does make TP Link and Zelda veeery distant cousins, but so distant to the point that they can't really be counted as related if you want to ship them. (If you don't want to ship TP Zelink, them being lost cousins is also a cute story.)

Also kinda fits in with the Hero's Shade armor. It looks like no other armor of any other knight. Maybe it was a royal armor? I do think the Shade acts more like an old mentor, than a young man, so I think he probably died in old age and got buried with his armor, or fell in battle when he was an old man and no longer as strong (bc let's be real hero of time + hidden skills? He must have been a beast in his prime time). If his children were a mix of royals and a farmer, no wonder he wouldn't have taught them his skills. Or they just didn't want to or weren't fit for it. And ofc Link would still lament not being remembered as hero. It's not about being any hero but the hero of time. No matter how many people knew about it, no one would be able to relate.

Long story short: Oot Zelink is possible with a few extra steps. BUT MaLink wouldn't be a bad couple and I see nothing bad in people who like them. I just forever prefer ZeLink over MaLink because to me the romantic implications are too strong. I feel like Nintendo originally wanted ZeLink to be the main focus (Miyamoto saying he sees Zelda as Links girlfriend) but accidentally made MaLink a strong possibility by making TP Link a farmer. But that's just my thought. The TP Manga does try to retcon this quite a bit.

Anyway, as long as nothing is put as canon, every ship and head canon is perfectly valid and this is mine. :D Pls don't fight over things like fictional character love interests. Adding a fictional story to a... fictional story is no crime. It being open for our interpretation creates a lot of diversity and I like that.

Sorry for the long rant! Edit: Or just have Malon Zelda and Link in a poly relationship :D
