The Hyrulian Valhalla Saga

I Dreamt I Was a Moron
The newest Hero to arrive in the afterlife woke up with a gasp. Yes, technically, they didn't need sleep in this place, but he and the Hero of the light and dark worlds had decided to go on a camping trip - and what's a camping trip without falling asleep in a warm, cozy sleeping bag.
But that's beside the point. The new Hero had just woken up from the oddest dream, and he simply couldn't shake it. He sat up, trying to make sense of it, and accidentally woke his comrade with his stirring.
"Ugh," he groaned as he turned, gazing at the other sleepily. "...Brown? What's wrong?"
Brown, who had been named so due to being the only brunette amongst a gaggle of blonde Heroes, sighed. "Didn't mean to wake you up, Light."
Light, whose nickname came from his bringing light to the Dark World and who was also not to be confused with Twilight, yawned. "No, no, it's okay. ...Did something happen? You look out of sorts."
"It's just - I had the weirdest dream," said Brown, looking up at the starry sky above. "I was living at Hyrule Castle, like I did when I was alive, but everything was all different. Like, I was there, but I was kind of a whiny jerk."
Light raised an eyebrow. "Whiny? How?"
"I was complaining about having to protect the Triforce," he added. He paused, coughing uncomfortably before continuing. "...And I kept trying to get the Princess to kiss me, and whined when she wouldn't."
"I thought you said she did kiss you, though - "
"Th-that was just a thank you kiss! And it wasn't the same Princess Zelda either!" Brown crossed his arms, his face flushed. "Anyway, the me in my dream was kind of a loser. If I'd been half that whiny, I'm sure she would have kicked me out ages ago."
Sitting up, Light scratched his head. "Well, it could be worse," he said, "you could have dreamed that you said 'I can't wait to bomb some dodongos'."
Brown bit his lip to keep himself from laughing. "Seriously, Light?"
"Seriously."
The two finally allowed themselves to erupt into amused snickers, glad that neither of them were actually that stupid.
