Hey guys, I hope you all enjoyed the Strawberry and the Peach. Now I'm working on a Zelda fanfic, it takes place after the true ending of Breath of the Wild so look it up on YouTube to get the dialogue so you'll understand.
It was a long journey, throughout the reincarnation of the ancient hero. It had never taken him one hundred years to complete a goal. Now everything's finally done. The Calamity Ganon is gone, and malice no longer taints Hyrule Castle. Upon gazing at the castle one more time, Link and Zelda mounted their trusty steeds and journeyed to Zora's Domain. Hyrule was nearly destroyed and the process of restoring it was about to begin.
It was a quiet ride until Zelda broke the silence by asking a question that had been on her mind.
"Link…" The Hylian Champion looked at her with an eyebrow raised. "Hyrule...do you think it will ever be the same?"
Such a question prompted Link to nearly open his mouth, but immediately shutting it. For he thought it would be best to hold his tongue. He had the same question on his mind, for this was not the Hyrule he remembered. The lands were ravaged my nature over time, his family, the royal family, and their friends were gone.
Zelda sighed, "Never mind Link...you don't have to answer if you don't want to." Her eyes told him that she already knew what he was thinking. She faced forward and gazed at the long path towards Zora's Domain which was in the distance. "Well. We're almost there Link, it won't be much longer." Zelda gazed at the beauty of the crystal clear waters and breathed in the fresh air. "For Divine Beast Vah Ruta to stop working all of a sudden seems rather odd. I doubt it will be a major issue however."
Moments later, Link and Zelda found themselves gazing upon a bridge coated in silver and rain. They hopped off their horses and began to journey to the top. Knowing that their steeds would surely slip if they tried going up the mountain. The journey to Zora's Domain was significantly easier than last time, since there were no electrifying monsters to be a nuisance. They encountered a few octoroks, but Link pierced their slippery bodies with a single arrow and kept moving. About halfway to the top, they had grown tired and settled down under an alcove next to the Zora marker.
"Ah...this is very nice. Wouldn't you agree Link?" Link looked back at Zelda and nodded, as he resumed chopping a tree for firewood. She sat down and put her arms around her legs, "You know...I've only been to Zora's Domain twice. Once when I met Mipha, and the second time when I came to check on her and Vah Ruta. It was always dry…well, not the Domain, the path to it rather." Zelda looked up into the sky and watched as the rain poured down. Link came back moments later with firewood and flint and brought it under the alcove.
They both stared into the fire for a little bit. Watching the embers burn and the heat warm their bodies. Zelda scooted a bit closer to her appointed knight. "Link...I was wondering." Link ceased polishing his blade and raised and eyebrow. "What do you think could have caused the Divine Beast to stop working all of a sudden?"
Link sighed. "It must be Mipha."
"What...what do you mean?" the Princess asked, still taken aback by the asininity of Link's answer.
He put his blade down and looked at the source of the downpour before looking back at Zelda. "She must have passed on. Finally."
"Oh, I see."
"After I killed Waterblight. I met the spirit of Mipha. She then told me that after the destruction of Ganon, she would be able to rest in peace, knowing that I fulfilled my destiny." Link sheathed his weapon and placed it at the edge of the cove. "My guess is that Mipha finally left this world, and without a master, Vah Ruta will become inactive until a new one arises."
"I don't see how that could be possible. But we all have our own ideas."
Link nodded his head.
Link untied his hairband and let it loose for a bit, he started to polish his shield that had gotten dirt on it from a fight with an octorok, Zelda sat there and watched while the embers were crackling, accompanied by the drops of rain. She had so many questions to ask about Link's adventure, but thought it would be best to not ask at the moment. The rain continued to pour, with Link watching the flames, the wind never blew them out. Zelda did not want to ask anything else, but Link himself had a few things on his mind.
Zelda had yawned and began to prepare her sleeping bag and pillow and tried to cozy up next to her appointed knight without making it too obvious. She rested her head on his shoulder, which Link paid no attention to. He simply resumed polishing his shield.
Link glanced at her resting on his shoulder and let out a deep breath."Princess." .
"Yes Link?" She said with her eyes still closed.
Link looked towards the darkened clouds. "Do you ever feel like your destiny held you back? From living life the way you wanted to?"
She raised her head and sighed. "Now that you mention it. I've always wanted to be a scholar, but...my destiny was always being shoved down my throat, and then the Calamity happened." The Princess gazed at the rain pouring from the sky and smacking the ground. "All that time...I was born to be the Princess of Hyrule, born with a special power. Everyone always expected me to fulfill my role as that, and being the princess. But no one ever asked me what I wanted to do. I guess now, after I rebuild the kingdom...I can finally do as I please." She looked at him. "Link, if I may ask. Why do-"
BLAM!
They looked ahead, surprised by the loud noise. It wasn't thunder, nor was it a tree falling down. Zelda prepared to investigate but Link put his arm in front of her, which was a sign to stay back. She heeded the sign well and watched Link draw his sword and move forward, with the rain still trickling down and thunder booming in the distance. He looked to his left and right, and was surprised when he set his sights in front of him. Without a moment of hesitation he bolted forward.
Link kept running and stopped when he saw a body that had just plummeted onto the ground. It was a Zora that was out cold. With Zora's being no threat, he sheathed his weapon.
"Link! What's going on? What do you see?"
Link looked back at the Princess of Hyrule. Immediately setting his sights upon the Zora. It was red, and had a muscular physique so it was identified as a male. The Hylian Champion rolled the body over onto it's back. His mouth was agape, this Zora was Prince Sidon. Link looked back at Zelda and gave her the signal to come over.
Zelda rushed to Link's side and tripped next to him, she overlooked the body and was shocked by the severity of the wounds. "Link, is he-"
"No...I don't know." Link answered her with a feeling of doubt in his voice. He didn't know whether Sidon was dead or if his life was hanging on by a thread. There were cuts on his arms and a few bruises on the abdomen, there was also a scar on the cheek that seemed to form a sort of emblem, and he bled from the mouth. Link observed the emblem. It was unfamiliar, but he stopped his observation as he knew that Sidon was in peril. The Prince opened his eyes and looked at Link and the Princess.
"Are the fins damp lately? Ha...ha...ha...ugh..." Sidon's eyes closed and he spoke no more.
Link could tell that the Zoran Prince was still breathing but he did not know how long. He looked back at Zelda. "Sidon is strong, but he is still vulnerable to death." Link said with a tone of severity. "I'm going to carry him and go on ahead to Zora's Domain."
Zelda looked at the path ahead. "How long would it take us to reach Zora's Domain from here?!"
"It would take two minutes. That is more than enough time, I will go on ahead! Follow behind me!"
Link drank a speed boosting elixir and lifted Sidon over his shoulder and heard the Zoran Prince cough up blood. Sidon's current state only motivated Link to move even faster. Sidon...I swear I'll take you back to Zora's Domain...Zelda followed behind but Link far outclassed her with his temporary speed boost.
100 years ago, I failed to protect Mipha, your sister. And she died...the rain intensified, becoming a heavy storm. I know Mipha was killed because I failed to protect her, but I swear, by the Three Forces, I won't let the same thing happen to her younger brother! Hang on Prince, we're almost there.
