Legend of Zelda: Heroes Return

Epilogue

Lyn stood at the edge of the garden, sword in hand as she kept watch.

It had been five years since she and her brother had gone on that journey to help save Hyrule.

And now, here she was, a guard for the Prince!

Her boyfriend.

Next to her was an older Zeke, looking like the spitting image of his father, who sadly passed a few years ago.

Scott was standing by the water, telling a story to five small figures.

One was a boy with a mix of red and blonde hair; blue eyes, and a light blue tunic.

The next was a little girl with blonde hair, yellow eyes and pale skin, wearing a purple dress.

The third and fourth were twin Gerudo girls, with larger hands, and darker eyes, with tougher skin covered by red and purple tunics.

The last was a boy with light blue skin, blue eyes that looked Hylian, a small tuft of blonde hair sticking up, and a green tunic and brown pants.

These five kids were born a few months in between after the battle with Vaati and Zant.

The boy with red and blonde hair was Patrick, Link and Malon's 2nd son, and Lyn and Mel's little brother.

The pale girl was Skelda Zelda and Skulls daughter, and Scott's half sister.

The Gerudo twins were Urba, and Osa, Chuko and Jo-Ann's daughters.

The blue boy was Art, Aryll and Shins son.

The 4 latter kids were all hybrids, and proud of it.

The Prince, now with signs of a growing beard, was telling them a story.

Scott, "and then, BOOM!"

The kids all gasped.

Scott, "The Twilight Queen grabbed the false king, and swung him around to get friends, weakening him; and allowing her to regain her powers! After his defeat, the group made their way towards Hyrule Castle, and reunited with the Queen and her heroes. They established peace, and all lived happily ever after. The end."

The kids all cheered at the story as Lyn grinned at the prince.

They then all heard a whistle. They all turned to see Skull there.

Although, he looked much different.

The man now looked Hylian, but with tougher skin and yellow eyes. His mask now hung from his belt.

And yet, he still wore the hat.

Skull, "it's gonna be dark soon. Your parents are coming to pick ya up."

As Skelda ran to her father, hugging his leg, the other kids all went, "awww!"

Skull, "no bellyaching, c'mon!"

The kids all lifted themselves off of the ground, walking past Lyn, Skull, Skelda and Zeke.

Lyn and Scott stood together, grinning ear to ear….

….

Mel and Eli were being held up by the back of their shirts by Gerald.

Mel now had a beard with no mustache growing in, and Eli's feathers were fluffier.

Gerald, "what were you two doing behind Zelda's throne while she was walking with Impa?"

Mel, "nnooooothing!"

Gerald, "bullshit. Tell the truth."

Eli, "we were making out."

Mel, "Eli!"

Eli, "what? I figured we should just rip the bandaid off now, rather than later."

Mel, "ya didn't even try to lie!"

Gerald, "alright, enough of that. I suggest you get back to your patrols, rather than locking lips on or behind the throne?"

Mel, "what? Uncle Skull and Aunt Zelda have probably done worse!"

Gerald, "no excuses. Now move!"

Gerald dropped them, letting the couple run away as fast as they could out of the throne room.

….

Link, Malon, and the other Heroes were standing near the doors to the castle, as each of their youngest came running up to them.

Link and Malon held Patrick in their arms lovingly. Chuko grabbed his daughters in both arms as Jo-Ann hugged the three.

Shin and Aryll both bent down to hug their son warmly.

Skull was right in front of everyone, now with Zelda, Skelda, and Impa standing with him.

Erma was up in the rafters for the millionth time, watching the display happily.

Seeing these families together always warmed her heart.

She never would've thought that when meeting Link and the other Heroes all those years ago, she'd see them all grow up with their own families.

Navi was right beside her.

Navi, "it's nice, ain't it?"

Erma, "very."

Navi, " you ever thought of trying to find love?"

Erma, "not until I can actually age."

Navi, "that's fair."

….

Lyn, Zeke and Scott were just meeting up with Gerald, Mel and Eli in the area where knights got their food.

The Heroes wanted to just sit back and relax, enjoy each other's company as they reflected on their quest all those years ago.

Eli, "I still remember when Mel took down that damned Lynel on our adventure."

Mel, "thank you!"

Scott, "you said it had the legs of a spider!?"

Lyn, "ayep!"

Gerald, "and how big was it?"

Mel, "how big wasn't it!?"

Lyn, "that makes no sense."

Mel, "you get the point though. It was huge."

Eli, "extremely."

Lyn, "and ferocious."

Gerald, "and Mel got the killing blow?"

Mel, "damned right I did!"

Scott, "that axe got one Hell of a lucky strike, eh?"

Lyn, "ayep!"

Eli, "is that all you're gonna say?"

Lyn, "anope."

Mel, "alrighty then sis."

And so, the heroes continued talking, their battle far behind them, leaving them with fond memories.

And thus, ending this story of more than 15 years gone by in the blink of an eye.

The End.

….

And there it is.

My Zelda sequel is complete.

I probably won't do another sequel to this story, unless it becomes high demand.

So, with all of that said, I hope you enjoyed it.

And good morning, good afternoon, good evening and good night.
