It seems to me that some of you guys are serious mad that Link can speak. Well if you ever played BoTW you would know that he does speak and if you don't beleive me look it up. Anywho its not your story not your concern.

Link laid there eyes wide and confused. 'Did that really just happen?' He thought to himself as he and Ruby just laid there.

The young hero didn't know what to do as he quickly jumped up and brought them both to their feet. "Listen Ruby if that is how this is gonna go I need to tell you something." he said looking her in the eyes.

For the secomd time that day she looked at him with a confused face, "And what would that be?" she questioned a bit worried.

"Its about my past something that you should know." Link grabbed her hands.

Flashback Links POV

Far off the coast of Remnant there was another nation. In that nation lived a peaceful people who lived in peace under their monarchy. At the top of this monarchy stood King Daphnes Hyrule and at his side stood his daughter Princess Zelda. Now to understand what happens next you must know the history of Hyrule. Every female born within the monarchy is gifted special powers of light from the goddess Hylia. Each princess has the duty to harness that power in fear that a great evil would resurrect and devour all we created.

The responsibility of teaching fell in the hands of the Queen, it was her job to teach every princess to handle the limits of said power. The cycle doesn't end either in hopes that they would be ready whenever the beast comes back. Countless times our ancesters have defeated this monstrosity and sealed him away leaving the kingdom to reign in peace. However this time was very different, the princess lost her mother at an early age and failed time and time again to awaken her powers. At the time I was selected to be the Hylian Champion. With that title came a heavy burden I was to be the one to face the evil wielding the sword that seals darkness. While I was strong and could handle myself King Hyrule also bestowed upon me the duty of watching over his daughter as her protector.

So I secluded myself and took a vow of silence. For years I wouldn't say anything, that is till the princess started trying to talk to me in which I explained my situation to her. She looked more angry than anything that I just quietly accepted my fate, hell I was ready to give it all for someone who didn't even like me at first.

It's kinda funny really I've made friends all over Hyrule, even if Revali was a dick most the time. Regardless of that though we are all really close till one day it.

the base of Mt. Lanaryu we waited for the princess to come back from the spring of wisdom. Hours had passed till dhe finally came back frustrated and in tears. "It didn't work," She cried out in a choked voice fighting the tears that threatened to spill out. "Nothing works, maybe the town's people were right maybe I am just a failure of a princess."

I reach my hand out and rest it on her shoulder as Mipha the Zora's champion came in front of Zelda. "If I may offer some words of wisdom." Zelda peaked her head up and gave Mipha her attention as she began to speak.

"What always helps me to focus and use my powers is-" She was cut off though as a giant explosion ripped thorough the earth and shook the ground.

We all looked around and I looked up to notice the sky turning blood red. As me and my fellow champions shared one look. I turned my head to meet each of their gazes and we understood immediately. The Calamity is upon us but sadly none of us realized what this meant and only I survived later to learn that this was soon to be The fall of Hyrule.

End flashback normal POV

Link clenched his fist hard till blood started dripping down his hands and his knuckles turned white. "After that I saved the princess and was laid to rest in the Shrine of Resurrection and woke up in Hyrule."

He finished his retelling of what happened and sighed looking at Ruby who by the end had her hair shadowing her face. She sat up and gave Link a tight hug crying softly into his chest. "That's horrible all those things happening to you."

Link smiled a bit and gave her a soft pat on the head. "It's okay Ruby I've come to terms with what happened but that's not everything."

The young girl looked heartbroken that he went through even more strife than what he said. "WHAT!!"

Link covered his sensitive ears at her yelling, "yea but its getting late so I'll tell you the rest another time."

She blushes and looks away from him "Sorry, also could we keep our uhhh... Kiss a secret for now?"

He smiled and stood her helping her to jer feet. "That's fine, but does that mean we are together now?"

Ruby's face in that instant made her name sound like pink from how red it was. She just stood there couldn't form proper sentences and just nodded her head smiling. "Well I'll see you tomorrow Link," She smiled and walked back inside from the clock tower but stopped in the doorway.

"Don't you ever think of just up and vanishing again." She said a bit angrily and walking down the stairs leaving Link to think by himself.

With Ruby gone he finally sat back down on the edge with his feet dangling down. The young hero sighed as he looked up at the moon "No more jelli slimes, no more Bokoblins, no more Lizalfos, thank everthing

for no more Lynel." He said to himself as he admired the shattered moon chuckling a bit at his last statement.

He smiles and rests his eyes finding the perfect balance on the ledge and falling asleep.

Team RWBY the next morning

Yang got upthat morning tired and barely awake. Blake was wide awake already dressed ans ready to take on the day having woken up earlier. Weiss was in the shower taking her time since she woke up a bit after Blake. Ruby however was sitting in the corner wide awake having not fallen asleep due to being so happy and hyper.

"Ughhh Ruby how can you be so hyper?" Yang said rubbing her eyes and prepping for her shower after Weiss.

Ruby spun around so fast Blake stumble from seeing it when she took her next step because of how fast it was. "How can you not be it's so amazing the Vytal festival is soon to be upon us."

Ruby was practically filled with excitement and energy as Yang just blinked and walked into the bathroom after Weiss came out. "So many amazing weapons, so many great fighting styles, so many great things."

She smiled and gave a sigh and blushed as her comment reminded her of the night before. As if immediately she calmed down and nervously giggled. "Hey speaking of great fighting, do any of you guys know Link's semblance?"

As soon as those words left Ruby's mouth its as if time stood still. Blake who was about to turn a page in her book stopped half way. Weiss who was putting her hair up in her traditional side ponytail stopped. "That's actually a good question what is his semblance?" Blake questioned putting her book down.

Weiss gave a slight 'hmph' and finished doing her snow white hair. "Isn't it Lightning like that time in the forest."

Ruby chimed in, "No im pretty sure he used an aura shield."

Blake looked really confused, "I thought it was the wind draft."

Yang walked out of the shower at the most opportune moment for her comment. Fully dressed she pounded one fist into the other and smiled. "Whatever it is we will just have to beat it out of him."

Ruby panicked a bit at her statement. "We can't do that Yang."

The blonde paused and looked to her sister, "Exactly why not?" she stood with her hands on her hips waiting for an answer.

Ruby continued to panic on the inside. "Uhhh because uhh ummm we have to prepare for the tournament."

Yang sat for a second. "shoot forgot about that thing I really need to pay attention in class."

RWB all facepalm at the Y's words and proceeded to head to the combat class for the meeting of students.
