It took a few minutes for Zelda and the champions to start following Link and the King. They were still surprised at how Link could still move and how he was still alive. They were grateful at him being alive but with that wound... It should've been impossible. They started following Link and the King, making it to the throne room in a couple of minutes. Once they made it to the throne room they just stood there in a awkward silence. The king sighed and cleared his throat to get everyone's attention.
K-"As I said earlier, we have something to tell you, it is about Link."
Z-"What is it father, and how can Link still be alive after that? That wound must have been fatal."
K-"This will all be explained soon. What you're about to learn has been passed down for generations to all the kings and queens. Do not interrupt until the explanation is finished."
Zelda and the champions nodded waiting patiently for them to continue. This time though it wasn't the king who talked, it was Link. They never thought that Link would speak in front of them, seeing as for all the years they've known him he hasn't spoken to them at all.
L-"This started around 200 years ago, when Link Artemis fought Ganondorf. Link won the fight but didn't know a curse was placed onto him by Ganondorf. It was after he married Zelda Artemis and had children did they find out he was cursed. This wasn't a curse that was passed on from generation to generation, no it was placed on him and only him. The curse was immortality. Link Artemis is still alive and I am Link Artemis, technically your great great great grandfather. But the curse will wear off soon, in a couple of years actually."
He took off his necklace and changed to his 26 year old body, the necklace was the only thing making him look like a teenager. 26 is when he stopped aging and the age he got the necklace. He looked at them and saw their mouths open in shock, or in Revali's case beak. They all knew he was cursed but they didn't expect him to be imortal. They also didn't expect him to be in his mid 20's. Mipha looked a bit heartbroken too, discovering the person she loved had a wife and kids. She was glad she didn't start making the Zora armor that she would give to the one she loves.
Z-"So... You're my great great great grandfather."
L-"Yes."
Z-"Then why do you come with us on trips to the shrines and exploring the forests."
L-"I have done this with all the princesses, I want to make sure they are safe and don't get kidnapped or killed by our enemies."
Z-"Oh..."
After she said that it went back to the awkward silence until the king spoke.
K-"You do realize that this cannot be told to anyone. This must be kept a secret from anyone, even if you find them trust worthy. You. Can. Not. Tell. Understand?"
They all nodded, afraid of the King in that moment. When he said that he was glaring at all of them, even Zelda. They needed to understand that this must be kept a secret no matter what. After saying that Link decided to go to his room for some rest. Before he left he put on his necklace making him look like a teenager again. He yawned, and left for his room. His body trying to heal this big of a wound takes a lot of energy, so for the next couple of days he'll be sleeping a lot.
