    Summary

    Link wakes up in the Shrine of Resurrection, guarded by a mysterious Sheikah who keeps more secrets than the number of memories he's lost. Aside from his cryptic nature, Link feels like he's pretty trustworthy... but when those secrets affect his quest to save the kingdom he left in ruin, what is he to do?

    Especially since Sheik had his breath, heart, and soul in the palm of his hand from the start.

    Summary

    It was easy for Zelda's feelings and uneasyness to be dismissed as childlike tantrums. After all, she had it all and yet, there were many reasons for her to be extremely displeased. Her father's expectations (and that of the kingdom which he carried on his tongue) bore impossibly hard on her. Not to mention that sickly feeling bubbling up her throat when she looked in the mirror...

    Link wished the King would be softer on the Princess. It would make his life much easier, although since he became harsher, coincidentally, Link made a new friend. So, all in all, it might have been worth it.

    Summary

    Sheik had thought that the doom brought about by his own body had been inescapable. The royal line had required someone to continue it, and he was the last one standing. Now that he was gone, what would remain? Their records burned to ash, no evidence that he’d existed beyond a few belongings. All he’d been – or hadn’t been – would be added to the legends that parents told their children.

    Link refused to be sent back to his childhood after Ganondorf’s defeat. Five years later, during one of Link’s rare visits to Hyrule, Sheik realises what the identity he took on during the conflict truly meant to him. Link has an offer: leave Hyrule together.

    Summary

    “I think…” Link tipped his head back and gazed at the moon. “I think that Sheik is you, and Zelda isn’t. I think you understand somewhere inside you that you’re happier as him, not just because he’s freer or whatever, but because he’s a man. Because you’re a man.” His words were like being made anew. Because you’re a man. There was nothing like it, this mix of elation and fear: somebody who knew him, knew Zelda, witnessing this part of him. Saying I see what you are with none of the horror that Sheik had as it forced itself to the front of his mind.

    Sheik needs to confront some things he's been trying to ignore.
