I don't own The Legend of Zelda, only this story idea.


Previously:

I was just about to walk the last distance to him when I noticed that a red laser beam was suddenly aimed at the side of his head, indicating a guardian has located its target. I didn't know much about guardians, but I knew enough to know what that signified.

I expected Link to notice immediately, but he didn't. The following seconds slowed down to what seemed like an eternity.


I hoped the guardian wouldn't shoot immediately. Any moment now, Link would notice and take cover. I was sure of it. …but what if he didn't? That horrible thought hit me and it scared me to the core... I was scared. So unbelievably afraid that he would get hurt.

I can't risk that. The thought of him getting hurt, or even killed, was more than I could handle. Adrenaline kicked in.

"Link!" I screamed and he turned to me in surprise.

Before I knew it my legs moved and I darted the little distance between us and tackled him to the ground.

I landed on him as we both fell on the soft grass in the safe cover behind a stone wall. It wasn't a moment too soon. Right afterwards a loud, deafening sound boomed. The wall beside us was blasted into pieces. We took cover as debris flew through the air, Links arms pulled me close protectively and shielded me. A big dust cloud hovered around us. Our hearts, inches apart, beat fast and loud as we lay and waited for the air to clear.

I felt how tense he was and I knew that he too was listening intensely. We were both holding our breaths and waiting for the heavy steps of a guardian to approach us. We were lying were the beam couldn't catch us. Nothing happened. I started to assume that it must have been an immobile guard who had targeted us. At least I hoped so. I prayed that the mechanic sound in the distance was something else. At least it didn't seem to be getting closer to us.

I slowly pulled myself up a little as Link stared at me with big eyes.

"You… saved me?" He asked.

I was so relieved that I couldn't utter a single word. So I just nodded.

"I was so lost in thoughts… thank you" he smiled. His eyes shone brightly, that goofy smile returned to his lips.

Before I could react he leaned forward and kissed me. I was surprised at first, but then I closed my eyes and leaned into the kiss, creeping closer to him. Allowing myself to lay down on him again.

His lips was soft against mine. His hand rested on my cheek, caressing and comforting. My hands found his face, tangling my fingers in his hair. Time seemed to slow and I wanted this moment to last forever.

"I love you Skye" Link whispered once our lips parted. "We've only known each other for a couple of days, but I've never felt like this before"

"I love you too, always have…"

His eyes was vivid and bright as we once again closed the distance between our lips. It didn't last long though.

"Let's get out of here before the guardian finds us" Link said. We helped each other up and stayed low as we made our way back where we came from through the ruins. We were almost out when a sudden sound of a horn being blown made us stop and I immediately noticed Link tense up. It was close by and the signal seemed to echo all around us, bouncing of the naked stone walls. I turned my head, tried to locate it.

"Crap, they've spotted us!" The next moment he grabbed my arm and we ran. We made it out but it was too late; several bokolins was surrounding us.

"Stay close" Link said as we stood back to back. His weapon was already drawn as I shakily took a hold of my spear and brought it into a defensive position. My hands trembled both from the adrenaline earlier and now as the bokoblins closed in on us. Eyeing us like some kind of steaked meat. It felt surreal and I tried to swallow my fear. But to know that Link was right behind me gave me some comfort. He had my back and I knew he wouldn't let them hurt me. The same way I was determined to protect him now.

I became even more nervous as I realized that it was now that all my practice with the spear would be tested.

"Stay calm, I'll create an opening for us" Link mumbled over his shoulder.

"Alright" I murmured back. I heard how one of the bokoblins launched at Link with a loud screech. Link was prepared and blocked it before he answered with an attack of his own.

I didn't know what happened next because a bokoblin close to me attacked and I had to focus my whole concentration on the monster. I blocked his heavy club and for a moment I was afraid the spear would break as the weapons collided and sang out in their own battle cries.

I fought defensively, but I managed to land some blows of my own.

Link suddenly took my arm and dragged me with him.

"I'm fine!" I shouted to him. "I can handle it! I almost got him…"

"You did great" he laughed "And I love your enthusiasm, but I'm afraid the guardian could show up any moment now if it heard the fighting and I'm not risking putting you against that thing!"

As the bokoblins who was still standing hurried after us we ran as fast as we could towards our horses. Link whistled for them and I hurried to climb onto my horse's back when we reached their side.

I bet Link could have jumped onto his horse on the move, but I had a hard time mounting a horse in ordinary cases. The looming threat of a guardian and the distant screams of bokoblins wasn't helping at all. But I managed to clumsily get up. When Link was sure I was seated he swiftly mounted his own horse and then we were speeding away from there.


That evening we were a safe distance away from that dangerous place. We sat on a hill and watched the sunset. The sky was alive. The dusk painted the sky with shades of pink and purple. A gentle wind was blowing and making the trees in the distance sway and dance slowly to a silent melody.

"I have something to tell you…" Link began. "I haven't been here very long before you got here. Or rather... I haven't been awake for long. I was getting used to all this, making a safe place for myself so I could plan and prepare for my quest. Then one day this voice who've been guiding me suddenly told me where to go. That someone would appear to help me in my quest. That this person would have knowledge of this world"

"I… I actually knew about this world before I ended up here" I confessed "I recognized you too. I just didn't know how to tell you. You might have believed that I was crazy"

"It's okay. I don't blame you." he said as he reached for my hand, our fingers intertwined. "…At first I wasn't sure you were up for such a great task, so I've been testing and challenging you. To make you ready for this life in the wild that is required for this quest; how to live, how to survive, how to get food... to fight, to ride a horse… and other things"

"You did?" I asked him a little surprised.

"Yes. If I brought someone along who wasn't ready it would have ended badly"

"I understand, it makes sense."

"By the way, you did a great job today"

"Thank you… About today… are you okay? You seemed kind of upset back there"

"Oh… I'm alright. It's just frustrating" he said as his eyes turned sad and distant as if they were gazing back through time. "I don't really remember much about what happened 100 years ago. But at the same time it feels like it's my fault that Hyrule is now in ruins. If hadn't failed back then…"

"It's not your fault Link" I told him softly. "You did your best back then and now you've got a second chance. This time you'll succeed. I believe in you. And I promise you that I'll always be by your side. Every step of the way"

"Thank you" he said as his eyes meet mine. His eyes were no longer sad, his expression no longer painful. Instead his face relaxed and he gave me a warm smile. A smile that warmed my heart like no one else could.

"And we'll get our memories back" I told him reassuringly.

"Yes" he nodded "After all that's happened theses past days I'm sure we'll manage. And I'm sure you're ready now. It won't be easy, but I think you're ready for this quest. What do you think?

"I'm ready" I said as I felt determination flow through my body.

"Then the real adventure's about to begin…"

THE END


All of you who's been reading and made it this far, thank you so much for reading! :D

Please leave one last review and tell me what you thought of the chapter or the story as a whole. It would make me very happy! And you who have made it this far but haven't said anything – yes you! Don't be shy, I'd love a review from you too x3

I have some ideas for one-shots of Links and Skye's future adventure that I might or might not write, time will tell.

As someone with not a lot of confidence your support has meant a lot to me and I'll be forever grateful, thank you all so very much! :D

Have a good day/night everyone! Stay safe guys and good luck in the future! :D


One last thing: I want to tell you some of my thoughts about this story. Some of you might be interested.

Skye was an ordinary teenager who was looking forward towards the release of the game the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. That's why she knows about some things in the game, but not everything, because something happened to her in this world before the game was realized that made her wake up in the games world.

I wrote it with the intention that you could read it as a reader fanfic but made Skye her own character both because it's easier for me and because most of you seem to prefer it. I actually wrote it with the intention that Skye is gender neutral. At least I tried too. A male reader can put himself in the role of Skye if he wanted to; I never called Skye she or he. And the name is neutral too, I think. ^^'

There's a little part of me in Skye, but also you and all other Legend of Zelda fans out there who escapes to Hyrule for various reasons. I hope this story helped you escape too.

I've not been entirely pleased with this story. I'm aware that it doesn't really have a strong plot and maybe their relation have progressed too fast. I wanted it to be like love at first sight but I'm not sure I accompanied that. But at the same time my intention has not been for it to be a story with lots of action and cliffhangers, but just a cute relaxed story that will make you smile. I hope I succeeded.
