A/N: Just over a year to the day since the last update. This has actually been sitting on my computer half done since December. Figured I at least owed it to myself and readers to get the "Hero" chapter up.


Kindness, Courage, Recklessness, Persistence.

These were all traits Link had heard assigned to him since the world bestowed upon him the title of a hero and all had been put to the test at one point or another. In his own mind though, diligence was the key making them all work in conjunction with one another. He realized that the difference between victory and tragedy was often merely a basic readiness to answer the call of duty when it came. Even as he sat on the throne to New Hyrule as its king, his commitment to that readiness had not wavered. Rather than his finer robes and capes, he stood dressed in a green cap and tunic not all too different from the ones his grandmother had presented him on his birthday all those years ago with a sword and shield worn proudly on his back.

Shuffling through his pockets, he brought out the key to the grand double doors that stood in front of him. Pushing them open and stepping through brought him to the private courtyard and garden he and Tetra had commissioned to be placed in the heart of New Hyrule Castle. It was a place for them to get away and be themselves when the facade of a monarch became too difficult to maintain. When covered in the light of the early morning as it was now, the verdant greenery that surrounded the area was even more calming to gaze upon. For him, it also became an ideal location to put in some light exercise without drawing the attention of the castle's guards and attendants, but he quickly realized that he was not alone. Locking the doors behind him, Link observed a tanned, blonde-haired figure dressed in blue and adorned with a bandana swinging and slicing a cutlass through the surrounding air.

"Hello, Tetra," the hero warmly greeted the love of his life.

"Oh, hey there, Link," Tetra greeted back.

Out in the courtyard, he found the queen not simply out to observe a combat practice like she would do with the regular soldiers but engaging in one herself. Moreover, she had gone and dug out her seafaring garb for the activity instead of the royal dress that had become just a tad too common for either of their liking. That set of attire included her treasured dagger which she looked delighted to take time for a refresher course in handling.

"I guess we were both thinking the same thing, huh?" she took immediate notice of the blade on his back.

"Sure seems that way," he confirmed, "Didn't mean to interrupt."

"You're not interrupting at all. I was just thinking I could use a sparring partner."

"I'm only here for a few warm up exercises," the king declined, "I already have plans like that with the Royal Guard later in the day."

"Don't let me get in your way then," Tetra offered him the space beside her, "Shall we do the usual then?"

"Sounds great," Link stood in symmetry with her.

With a blade in her right hand and his left, they partook in a training exercise in which they made matching but opposing strikes with their weapons, as if completing two sides of a mirror. It started with them keeping their swings aimed apart from each other but culminated with them getting closer and closer until they were clashing metal with every turn they made. Once their mental synchronization was truly established, they spun beautifully and passionately with one another. In their wild youth, this was how they had come to most deeply enjoy a dance with one another, a recital which they concluded by crossing their swords in the center before sharing a bow.

"You've still got it," he praised.

"I know I do," Tetra boasted in response.

"Well, I suppose that means I have to up my game further."

"You go on and do that. I've got other exercises I planned to get in this morning.

Finishing up with her own blade-related training, Tetra transitioned to a series of stretches designed to test and reinforce her remarkable flexibility. It had never occurred to him just how long it had been since he had laid eyes on Tetra in her full pirate getup, and it only suited her better with age. His eyes followed along with her graceful movements and feminine stretches as she continued through her workout routine. His own sword exercises slowed to a halt as her majestic figure utterly entranced him.

"Yo, Link!" she called to him, "Snap out of it!"

"Huh? Oh, sorry!" the hero shook himself awake, "It's just nice to see you like this again, Tetra."

"I never stopped being like this, Link," the pirate corrected him, "The dress and tiara are only the outward face of a queen. You should know better than anyone who I really am deep down.

"Of course, Tetra, of course," he lifted his sword once more.

Even as he took her words to heart, it was impossible for Link not to keep a watch on his queen out of the corner of his eye while resuming work with his own trusty blade. He lifted it up and down while practicing his stance and working out the muscles in his arms. While doing what he could to sustain his focus on training, there was nothing he could do to prevent himself from noticing the way her pirate shorts showed off her legs and rear in a way that a flowing dress simply could not. However, he realized what was most different about her in these circumstances was the fierce determination present in her eyes. There was a fire to her face that she simply never got attending royal meetings or signing fancy decrees. It had been simmering for several minutes but at last he could feel it truly beginning to engulf him as well. The hero sheathed his sword with a sigh and turned his attention fully to where it was warranted.

"Done already?" the pirate wondered amidst a series of push ups.

"Yeah, I just... would rather watch you right now, Tetra." Link turned and approached to face her directly.

With his affinity for tight clothing and her seasoned eye, the bulge in his pants was practically invisible to her at this point in their relationship. The outline of his manhood within his trousers was practically a window into his soul for her. However, what was absolutely out of the ordinary was for him to so brazenly bring a hand down to cup his burgeoning member even while it was still confined.

"Well, I'm glad you're liking what you're seeing Link," she restrained a giggle as she looked him over.

"You have no idea just how much," his tent enlarged within his own palm, "You've got my head spinning thinking about how I became so attracted to you in the first place."

"And you're wanting to let it all out on me right here, aren't you?"

"We made this space private for a reason, didn't we?"

"But I still had some bow and arrow practice that I wanted to get in," Tetra pointed to a series of targets she had set up against the wall, "I can't do it right now with messy hands."

"And I'm supposed to keep going like this?" he retorted.

"Go take a seat and jerk yourself off then," she waved a hand towards the courtyard's bench, "I'll get to you first thing when I'm done if you can wait."

Tetra stood facing her targets as Link got himself comfortably seated as per her instructions. To the mild shock of her ears, she did hear his fly being unsnapped as he took her guidance one step further while she notched an arrow. She held it steady but turned to look towards him as he let his hardening penis spring out into the open. Beyond even that, he discarded his pants completely, allowing his scrotum to taste the fresh air as well.

"Wow, are you being serious with me right now, Link?" she now saw an offer hard to look away from.

"You said I could," her husband reminded her.

"I suppose I did," Tetra resumed her aiming stance as best she could, "How long has it been for you, anyway?"

"Years."

"Glad to know I've been so dependable."

"You still are."

Merely the way her eyes squinted as she locked in on her target was all he needed to get started on stroking himself. Tetra did her best to fight off the distraction and pulled back the bowstring to get ready to fire. Straight and true, the arrow drilled straight into the bull's-eye of the wooden, white circle. It was as relieving as it was satisfying to Tetra as she could now turn again to see what Link was doing now.

"Well done, Tetra," he shared his approval.

"Guess I won't be getting any applause from you though," she pouted sarcastically.

"You could come free up my hand at any time," he maintained his pumping.

"Nah, I think remembering how to deal with your own problems will do you some good."

Tetra worked more quickly in setting up her second arrow for the second target. An increasing warmth in her crotch had her feeling a tad less patient than she was a moment ago. As she focused her senses on the task at hand, her ears became privy to the changes in his breathing. Compared to earlier, Tetra needed an extra moment to suppress the sudden quivering in her fingers while lining up the next arrow before firing. In the end, while still hitting its mark, her second shot was a tiny bit off target compared to the first. When looking back to Link this time, the change in his expression was vastly more striking compared to before. An almost self-indulgent smile spread across his lips which his tongue briefly came out to lick. This time she paused her activities entirely to step over towards his bench. As completely invested as he seemed to be in his own masturbation, he had no issues keeping his focus entirely on her as she approached him.

"How's it coming along?" the captain inquired.

"Excellent," the hero answered earnestly.

His legs suddenly spread out wider for her, better revealing a robust pair of testicles that needed the additional space as they lurched around in their sack. She came to become increasingly curious in how he handled his shaft in contrast to how she would do it. Link showed no need to constantly adjust his fingers, having long since discovered the ideal grip for himself.

"You certainly seem to remember how to take care of yourself well for not having done it in so long."

"Some things you simply can't forget," he squeezed his shaft self-assuredly.

"The bond between a hero and his sword," Tetra smirked, "Is it at all different from before?"

"Much, much better,"

"Is that so? Guess I'm not doing enough on my part."

"No, you're doing plenty. I never had the pleasure of doing it with you right before my eyes. Just go on and finish your practice."

Hiding a nervous sweat, Tetra did what she was told, but a sense of dread filled her, feeling the tables turning on her as the seconds passed. With the third arrow, she did not permit herself to waste a second. Pulling back the bowstring tightly, she let her instincts handle the aiming with her mind now too clouded to do so. It hit the target but missed the bull's-eye which was more than good enough for her at this point. The queen hurried back over to him and dropped to her knees where she could observe his jerking at eye level.

"There, all done," she gave an exasperated sigh, "You can let me take over now."

"I just got into a really good rhythm here," he protested, "Let me have my turn before you get yours."

Although yearning to get closer, Tetra had to sidle back when the hero slumped further in his seat, opening his legs even wider and holding his erect dick even higher in the air. To her, he looked both more relaxed and more tense than before. The hero would alternate between holding his breath and letting it out in steady puffs. With his dick now towering squarely between them, the pirate realized his eyes were staring at it as much as her.

"Damn, what is going through your head right now, Link?"

"I guess the fact that I really am quite well endowed, aren't I?"

"It took you until now to notice?" she gave a quick, sexy laugh.

"It's different when I have to actually watch and feel it getting bigger in my hand," he bragged in a humble manner, "It's so much heavier and harder than I remember."

"You've more than earned the right to indulge yourself every once in a while," Tetra patiently waited for her chance but joined with him in the spirit of the occasion by shifting a hand over to her crotch where she felt her own moisture beginning to seep through.

Indulge himself he did. The hero's cock never drew in as much energy from any source as it did from Tetra's transfixed gaze locked upon it. Link steadily alternated from looking into her eyes and directly observing the reaction her captivating stare elicited from his mighty member, swelling to a point where even his own hand could only barely hold it, pressing on as pre-cum seeped onto his fingers. Similarly, Tetra couldn't prevent her own hand from ending up moist with her aroused juices, yearning for the same sort of intensive stimulation she was watching Link apply upon his proud tool.

"Damn, Tetra, I find it so hot the way you're staring at me now." he chuckled anxiously.

"I can tell," she struggled just as much with her own composure, "You look ready to explode without me even needing to touch it..."

"That's simply the norm for me with you around, my darling."

"Well, it's good to see that you are capable of handling it yourself to some degree. I feel as though I'd end up working myself to death on all of that pent up lust of yours."

"The only thing I can't really do on my own is avoid making a mess," he joked weakly with an imminent ejaculation bubbling within his loins.

"Now that's something I'm always up to deal with, My Hero," Tetra hung her tongue out to him in the most tantalizing of ways.

With his target in sight, Link began pumping away at himself in full fury. Saliva dripped from her lips in anticipation of what he had to deliver, no matter how much there might end up being. Closing her eyes might have seemed like a good idea but the manner at which he tugged and squeezed at his burly meat was something she could not look away from. Rarely, if ever before, did she have such a closer and clear perspective on the obscene way his member twitched, throbbed, and engorged on the cusp of orgasm and it evoked memories of those unique sensations she deeply longed to have it implant inside her once more. Similar thoughts echoed in Link's mind as well, driving him to unleash his ejaculation with a force ordinarily reserved for Tetra's treasured womb.

"Fuck, you're so gorgeous and sexy! I'm cumming Tetra!" Link offered a passionate warning as his deluge launched at her point-blank.

He aimed his initial spurts as best he could at the thirsting tongue she had presented at him but his ropes were simply too full and vibrant to keep most of his essence from ending up on her face and hair. Tetra accepted it all with aplomb nonetheless. Her resolve in accepting his climax wherever it was needed embodied what it was about her that forever won his heart, as well as alerting his balls just how much more they still owed to her on this morning. Link held nothing back to her as he worked through the last surges of his climax, but the very moment it subsided, he felt his loins perking up with immediately renewed vigor, now far too great to satiate with his touch alone. Likewise Tetra realized that her own fingers would also be woefully inadequate in attending to her present needs with him.

"Mmmmm, what a rich load from the hero," Tetra didn't let a drop of his collected seed go to waste, drinking down what she had caught in her mouth and lapping up what she had collected elsewhere as best she could.

"Oh, I almost feel as though I could have at it again watching you do that," he sighed lovingly.

""Almost?" she smirked.

"I just can't go any longer without the chance to savor your body as well, My Queen."

"Agreed," she finished up with his offering to her.

No matter how much praise and adoration her more complex, regal attire might win her, the pirate girl still preferred the simple freedom and convenience of a top and shorts to casually discard in such urgent moments. Link was just about to undress himself as well when her hand came to his shoulder.

"No, leave them on," she cooed, "Let me experience the might of the hero and his sword once more."

With her approval and guidance, Link rose from his seat with his rigid blade firmly in tow, awaiting his next commands on how he could further ensure the prosperity of their shared kingdom.

"It's as though a curse has been placed on my sacred womb," Tetra got into royal character, "Only the hero of legend and his sparkling sword and noble seed can hope to break through so that I may conceive an heir and ensure the propagation of the royal line. Are you up to it, Link?"

"I'll leave that for you to judge, My Queen," he stepped forward, pressing his imposing manhood between them right where her cervix awaiting its touch within her abdomen, causing her to crave a position where she could take him in most deeply.

"Yes, you are indeed the one the prophecy foretold, My Hero," she dropped to her knees, "Take hold of my divine figure as you see fit and do as you must to pierce my very core with your fabled weapon,"

Link took his place behind her at her prompting, leading her down further to where she was on the ground on all fours, her rear presented high and proud to be claimed by him. He did so with gusto, latching onto her hips with both hands and using her accumulated wetness and their natural chemistry to plunge his member into her womanhood.

"Ahhhh, there it is..." Link whispered while lifting Tetra further off of the grass to accept more of her weight into his arms and body, "Oh, I love you, I love you so much, Tetra."

"Yeah, I love you too, Link," she willfully surrendered to him the additional control he desired.

"Your sweet body... your tender pussy..." he panted while settling into a more comfortable position with her held tight against his groin, "There's nothing else like it, not in the whole world."

"They're for your exclusive use... My Hero. ." she purred back at him.

With them being in such an unusual position, demanding so much of the hero's strength to stay upright, Link couldn't move himself with the full motion his tremendous length demanded. He settled for being able to go in and out roughly halfway with a more restrained rocking of his hips, more than content to treasure the feelings of closeness and comfort she brought him. No longer needing to support herself, Tetra brought her now free arm back around his neck instead.

"Yes, that's it," she continued to play with his sense, "A cock both large and hard enough to break the seal placed upon me and bring satisfaction would only be found on the hero himself. I hope you'll find the pussy of a queen to be a worthy reward."

Even with her movements heavily restricted within his grasp, Tetra's vagina had been more than honed well enough, through countless bouts of passion shared with her beloved Link, to pick up the slack on such an occasion. Her innards adeptly contorted and reshaped in conjunction with his motions to offer a titillating massage all the way through his shaft. Even when taking a moment to still himself, the hero could not restrain a moan under the pressure of her walls continuing to undulate around him. His groin muscles tensed to flex the full might of his manhood through her cavern in retribution which had her gasping for breath as well.

"Ohhh, you've grown so much, Link!" she exclaimed, "not just in size but even more so in strength. Almost continuously since I've met you, unreeeeal!"

"Because my duty to you hasn't been fulfilled yet!" he answered, "Not just your reign as queen but the passing of the title to our heir. I'll see them both through to the end!"

"Then take that next step right now! Breed me, My Hero! Give me your seed, your baby!"

With a hearty battle cry she felt as though she had not heard from him since their shared battle against the Great King of Evil himself, Link lunged his fertile blade through to her cervix and pierced its hallowed barrier with a valiant blast of his lush semen, following through with wave after wave of sperm to coat and flood her defenseless core. As impossible as it appeared to be, Tetra couldn't help drooling through the experience as she could almost swear she was able to taste the load flowing into her, triggering her own climax with the thought.

"All these years and still My Hero..." she went mostly limp in his arms while her orgasm surged.

"Now and forever," Link offered his lasting reassurances while finishing off the final rounds of his spunk now overflowing out of her.

The hero lowered her to the ground where they could bask in the afterglow together, having all but forgotten where they were and what they were supposed to be doing. They might have very well fallen asleep right there if not for the sun rising just enough to have their faces beginning to simmer from the heat.

"Mmmmm, Link..." the queen mumbled to her partner.

"Yeah, Tetra..."

"I don't think this is the best way for us to get our morning exercise going forward."

"I agree," he nuzzled against her neck, "We've still got stuff to get done today, but when I get my hands on you I can't bear to let go."

"Me too, me too," she could help giggling from how he tickled her, "But seriously I've got work I need to get done, so get off of me already."

Pulling her to her feet with a helpful arm, Link went to get his trousers back on while Tetra had to fully redress with all of her clothing that she had shed before. Through the process, he couldn't help but notice Tetra's insistence on repeatedly checking her own body's odor.

"Something wrong?" he inquired.

"I had figured I wouldn't worked up enough of a sweat to need to shower of this, you you've got me reeking of sex all over," she sniffed over her arms.

"Oh, I'm sorry," he lowered his head, resisting the curious impulse to take a whiff himself.

"I didn't allott myself the time necessary to wash out a smell this strong all over me," she pondered, "Oh well."

"So what are you gonna do?"

"What can I do?" the queen shrugged, "Procreation is among the foremost royal duties. The whole kingdom knows I've gotta be fucking somebody, right?"

"So if somebody notices the smell..."

"I'll just tell them I was hard at work getting their first ever princess ready," she flashed a toothy grin, "And don't get me wrong. I may not have time in the morning, but I'm plenty open to go all night!"

Still smirking, Tetra took a bold step toward him to flick her finger against the tent that had already started to re-emerge in his pants due to her proposal. Stepping up for a kiss, she enjoyed playing with his manhood even while confined, seeing just how far she could get him bulging out of his trousers without tearing clean through, teasing him until his renewed arousal had grown as much as his present constraints would permit.

"And now, just to ensure the hero keeps up in practicing self-control and discipline," she suddenly released him all at once, "That one you're going to have to deal with on your own, one way or another."

"Oh, you sly thing," he kept his gaze locked with hers even, under the straining pressure.

"Okay, Link?" she turned away with a tease, "Have fun..."

The queen began to confidently stroll towards the exit before realizing that the hero behind her remained undaunted, following along with her path to the door. Tilting her head to look back at him showed his excitement had no signs of settling down.

"What do you think you're doing, following the queen around like that?"

""What can I do?" the hero quoted from just earlier, "Procreation is among the foremost royal duties. The whole kingdom knows you've got to be getting fucked by somebody, right?"

"And if somebody notices the boner?" she winked.

"I'll just tell them I'm hard at work getting their first ever princess ready," he repeated her again with a smile.

"Fuck..." she conceded with exasperation, "We've got to learn to keep it in our pants and in the bedroom..."

"I'm ready whenever you are."

"...Fine, you get one more round after breakfast," the queen agreed, "Just try not to knock anything over with that gabled weapon of yours jutting out, My Hero."

"As My Queen commands," he giddily followed alongside her.

Pirate, Hero, Princess, King, Hero.

These traits all comprised New Hyrule's founding pair, but no single one ever defined them. Such titles only served to fill the gaps of a far greater whole, one whose union and lineage would be immortalized for generations of royal monarchs and soldiers to come after.
