Excused from the talks, Ruto wanders the castle grounds and finds a young boy trying to sneak out of the castle. Together they leave the castle and discover secrets about the world and about each other. Takes place in an AU based off of OoT. One Shot.

Fateful Meeting: Your Epilogue is in another Castle

For those who enjoyed this story I have a sequel story, Sheik's Quest that also prominently features the characters of Link and Ruto. They are the same ones from this AU story, just older. Volvagia also makes an appearance.

Sheik's Quest is as follows:

In the wrong place at the wrong time, Sheikah warrior Sheik is framed for the assassination attempt on Prince Link of Hyrule. To clear his name and save his lord, Sheik will challenge everything he ever thought he was. With a group of comrades gathered from all across Hyrule Sheik will take on and defeat the hidden evil that is plaguing the kingdom. An AU based off of OoT.

And for a twist, Sheik's Quest was actually the story this one was based off of. About a third of the way through Sheik's Quest I had an idea and Fateful Meeting was born as a quick break. There are lots of great Ruto/Link moments as they spar back and forth verbally and emotionally, reminding everyone why we love them so much. Also, lots of awesome fight scenes, where all of our heroes get to kick more evil ass than should be allowed.
