Alright so here's the second chapter, so like always, I DO NOT own Zelda or anything related to it, I never will and all rights belong to Nintendo. Now that that's out of the way... enjoy.

Clearing his throat, the drunken swordsman began to try to find the best way to once again, explain this... it was very hard to fully and properly explain the situations and the history before Hyrule became a thing, the age of Hylia and all that, so... Link with full confidence and no hesitation began to explain his tale the only way he could...

"You see... long ago before Hyrule existed... we lived in the air... on giant birds... worshiping the goddess Hylia and raised to become knights... there I was born and raised at an academy to train sky knights" he said as no one said anything, it was only until he stopped talking when Zelda spoke up to reveal her own confusion to his tale. She knew he was probably telling them some kind of drunken hallucination but that was a bit... underwhelming.

"Link... that, doesn't make any sense" the princess said as Link merely smiled at her. It wasn't his normal smile, filled with his gentle and caring expresion, but rather one that was filled with both amusement that was barely contained and a knowing gleam in his eyes.

"I guess, but this was before Hyrule was crested, you remember, Skyward bound amd stuff" he said as Purah slowly remembered an old legend.

"Linky... you're talking about the Forgotten Era, are you not?!" she boomed with an excited tone, making borh Zelda and Paya, stare at the oldest woman in the room, only getting a bit of a shrug from Link, who was still generally intoxicated from whatever bear or gin or whatever the swordsman had earlier that night.

"Forgotten Era... wait, you mean That Forgotten Era, the time in history lost before the first Rise of Calamity Gannon?!" Zelda shouted out, her eyes widened in disbeleif, so much in so that she missed the mutterings of Link, saying things like "fuck, Demise... or Gannon" and suggesting he'd take the Master Sword or the Bow of Light and shove the blade or shooting a Light Arrow straight up the pig's malice-coated-

"The very same, this could be extraordinary... think of the knowledge that has been lost to us all, now we can get a perspective of those events" Purah stared with a wide grin as her excited form slowly became a more toned down, calmer stature, seeing and remembering the state of the story teller was currently in, more so since he was still mutrering things in a drunken slur before continuing.

"Well one day... during the graduation... my own Loftwing was stolen... and Zelda... the other Zelda, the goddess Zelda I mean, she woke me up from sleeping late and we talked, and then she pushed me off the edge of a cliff-"

"I'm sorry, but you're not making any sense, what do you mean by the other Zelda? what is this nonsense of me being a goddess and why would she push you off a cliff?!" the former princess demanded, confused while Paya was just concerned at his or the other Link's well-being. Only Purah, who was now writing down in her notebook that asked what a Loftwing was.

"You wanted me to practice flying... and a Loftwing is a bird... a big bird, like a horse-size bird that I think the Rito descended from... or not... whatever... after I was saved and left to find my Loftwing, I bumped into... Groose"

"...Groose, who's Groose?" Paya asked as Link sighed, rolling his eyes and crossing his arms in a bit of an annoyed, but genuinely saddened expression, perhaps tired... she didn't know to be honest before Link answered her.

"Groose was a bully that wanted to get with Zelda and flew on Revali and hung out with Grandma Impa before giving birth to the Gerudo… it's a long story... what?" the drunken swordsman asked as he noticed that the three women were looking at him confused.

"He was riding Revali?" Purah asked confused

"Grandma Impa?" Paya asked, not expecting that

"Gerudo… and he wanted to what with me?" Zelda merely questioned, wondering what he was talking about, was the alcohol messing with his mind that he was getting his stories mixed up, perhaps this was just a figment of his imagination, a side of his consciousness creating false memories due to the drunken mindset left on him while-

"Meh, it was a black Loftwing he rode... he eventually did settle in the desert was an ancestor of the Gerudo and honestly Impa was a bit confusing... it's a long story... i'll get to that later."

"...B-but that still didn't answer the whole wanting to get together with me- er… that Zelda" the young woman said as Link suddenly let out a laugh.

"Yeah, he was practically semi-whipped, I remember this one time when me and Zel let him watch our kids that he told them false stories of how you swooned over him in, and get this... The Legend of Groose, by the time we got home we... um, Zel? You alright?"

Zelda for her part, just stared at the swordsman with Paya blushing with her hands in her face as even Purah had dropped her pencil from the surprise of what she heard him say, and say it so casually. Eventually Link spoke up again, trying to lighten up the mood. "Don't worry, you actually found it funny... or the other you did, you see we told the kids that-"

The sounds of a body colliding with the wood was heard as the "Fearless Princess" and "Savior of Hyrule," the one who, with her powers could contain the Calamyty and had the wits, the heart and the head to rule over Hyrule like her family before her... had fainted on the spot. Immediately the two Sheikah and drunken swordsman came to her side, worry on their faces as they checked on the princess's wellbeing before sighing in relief and helping her to Link's bed, hoping she could sleep off the shock of what she just heard.

"...You know I honestly didn't think she'd faint from knowing Groose had a thing for her ancestor" Link said while Purah and Paya both looked at him before turning to themselves, Purah explaining it to the Hero of Hyrule what he missed.

"Linky," Purah said with a sigh, even before the Calamaty, she could tell that the young Princess had feelings for her knight in a blue tunic, "I think she was just a little overwhelmed by the fact your past life... well... procreated with her ancestor" she said as Paya kept her blush glued to her face while Link seemed confused.

"You mean she was shocked I had sex with my wife in a past life... I don't really see why that would be that overwhelming-"

"Linky, what you just said, if it's true, means that you- or your past life married, no started the Hylian Royal Family, do you know what that means... what that means for Hyrule's core history, do you, DO YOU?!" Purah shouted as Paya looked at her grand-aunt in concern at the emotion in her tone and the newly added spring in her step. Link just seemed confused before looking at the unconscious Zelda before a small blush formed on his face.

"...I should have... used a bit more tact, S-sorry" he slurred as the two Sheikah remained silent. Yeah... he should have used more tact, because that would have made her not faint...

"So... should I continue?" Link asked as Purah nodded, no point in letting him stop, especially when he might be joining the princess in the folds of unconsciousness if they waited too long. Slowly nodding his own head, he continued.

"So after borrowing the sword and a shield... but a sword from the instructor, I went into a cave, killed some Keese, freed my Crimson Loftwing… me and Zelda had a moment and I raced Groose and his gang when they threw eggs at me... I won by the way..." he said with a smile as the two Sheikah merely nodded, trying to keep up as Purah continued to write the words she heard on her notebook, she and the others could ask Linky about this later, but right now, it was best not to interrupted him.

"Then... Zelda pushed me off of the statue and I had to use a Sail Cloth she gave me to land in the center... we had another moment... we had a lot of moments now that I think of it... she really is like her, you know..." Link said with a sad tone, a small smile on his face as he looked up to where Zelda laid on his bed, Purah said nothing but she could see it in his blue eyes, the pain he held in it, she knew such things... the Yiga killing her own lover long ago... perhaps that was why she was so invested into the Ancient Technology, wanting to focus that turmoil into a way to stop the Calamty Gannon and make sure their sacrifices weren't in vain.

With the Princess and Hero sealing away Gannon, she could only move on from their, her grand-niece asking the young man a question.

"M-master Link... do you... miss her?" she asked as Link glanced at her before looking down at his hands, his voice shaking with barely contained grief as the memories flloded his mind.

"Zelda... the Zelda I remember from Skyloft… she was many things, strong and independent, a quick thinker and caring, she was a lot like our Zel here. She was quick-witted and sharped tongue and few dared occur her wrath, especially when she became a mother bear... she means a lot to me... and I know that... maybe..." he started before looking up where Zelda rested once again. "Maybe she lives on in our Zelda... I have past lives... maybe the same is said with her?" he asked with a sad tone before the two Sheikah looked away, perhaps this wasn't that good of an idea to ask him that kind of a question. Eventually, he spoke again.

"But after all of that... we were quickly separated, a large twister came... and the next thing I knew I was back in Skyloft, Zelda was missing, and I was confused... that night I was so lost, so confused... and then... well, I met Fi" he said, holding his sword close to him, The Master Sword and his first ever partner he had. They promised to meet again and in a way, they had... but that was a tale for another time.

"And by Fi... you mean the voice... the spirit of the Blade that Seals the Darkness, correct?" Purah asked as Link nodded his head before continuing.

"After Fi lead me to a secret room in the Goddess Statue... she informed me of what she was... a spirit that was crafted by the Goddess, Hylia… and that something was happening, I was confused, I was scared but I had no choice, I did what she asked me... and I was given the Goddess Blade" he said with a trailing tone as Paya was confused.

"Don't you mean the Master Sword?" she asked her crush as Link merely shook his head.

"It wasn't until later that Fi became the Master Sword... I'll get to that later, alright... Paya" he promised as the younger Sheikah nodded, a bit interested in what he was leading up to. eventually he continued.

"After receiving a gift for my graduation, a tunic and cap that the other graduates of the Knight Academy used to wear, we... well, me, Fi and my Loftwing geared up and prepared for our journey... a journey so grand and filled with action... drama... bullshit... and awe... we would head... head to the surface... and find Zelda... what awaited us was something I would never have expected..." Link said with a smirk, as if he was a showman and introducing someone to a new attraction of sorts.

"..."

"..."

The silence was strong as both Sheikah were on the edge of their seats before waiting for him to continue before they were confused at the sudden stop of talking.

"Linky/ Master Link?" came both questioning tones of the two Sheikah before Link slowly started to sway before his eyes started to close before with a sound of a crashing meteor, a fallen table and a chair while both of them beared witness to something they should have seen coming, the Hero of Hyrule, the Savior of the World, the Assigned Knight to the Princess and considered Fifth Champion, due to his intoxication... had passed out.

"..."

"Aw... right when we were getting to the good stuff" Purah sighed in disappointment as Paya stared before looking at her grand-aunt in shock.

"You're sad that he fainted and can't continue his story? Really?" she squeaked out as Purah sighed before looking at her grand-niece and nodding her head.

"Well, we'll have to hope he'll be sober when he sleeps it off, so I guess we should help him into the bed" the older Sheikah, trapped in the body of a child said as Paya blushed at that.

"But... Princess Zelda is already occupying it-"

"there's room for two... let them sleep off their shock and drunken stupor for a while, maybe it can push them closer, I mean it's not that hard to see that they care for each other... and do you really want Linky to lay on the cold floor... unless, oh dear..." Purah started with a smile on her face before Paya looked at her grand-aunt in confusion. "I suppose if you wanted to support him, having him rest his head in your lap and all-"

"A-AUNTIE PURAH" came the flustered shriek of Paya before Purah continued to tease the younger girl, it not being much of a secret that her dear, innocent little grand-niece held arguably the biggest crush on the young hero than anyone the researcher knew of. Eventually, Paya caved in.

"I-I will... m-make room for... M-Master L-Link" she stuttered as she headed up the stare to try and move Zelda more to the side before Purah kept smiling.

"Don't forget that that I can't carry him myself, you will have to do it as well..." she said with a teasing tone that a younger sister would to an older one, much to Paya's humiliation. When Paya came back down to retrieve Link to place him in the bed with the princess, she was unaware that her grand-aunt had noticed something else on the floor, a small object, or rather it was fairly large, a rectangular shape with the Sheikah symbol on the back... and a smirk appeared on her face.

"Oh... this was going to be fun..."

And here we go, so after thinking on how I want to write this a little more, I decided to write it in a similar way to Drunk History with Link being the one to tell the stories and Paya, Zelda and Purah (And eventually some others coming to join) reacting to the stories. Now with the chapters, I decided to divide the games into sections, such as Skyward Sword being the beginning of the game being the first chapter, the First Dungeon being the second and so on and so forth.

Games, as I said I'm going to be covering are the Child Timeline first, the Adult Timeline next, the Fallen Timeline next and finishing up with the events that lead up to the Breath of the Wild.

Also I'm going to be adding things into the story that are not confirmed or considered cannon, such as Zelda and Link's relationship in Skyward Sword, Groose being the ancestor of the Gerudo, and some other things such as events that COULD have happened in between the games and I'm going off the Hyrule Historia... Plus I plan on making a bit of a sub plot with Link and Zelda becoming a couple at the end so hopefully I'll be able to pull that off well.

Finally, any questions, comments, advice, criticism and other is welcomed. I hope you enjoy.
