    Summary

    Her voice is the string of reassurances and warnings whispered in his ear from the moment he opened his eyes.

     

    She calls out for your help.

     

    So he goes, underprepared and overconfident, in the opposite direction of Kakariko Village because a hundred years is long enough and a princess needs his help and he was someone once.

    (Or, Link realizes destiny is awfully hard thing to shake.)

    Summary

    A century ago, Link walked behind her. Steps in sync with hers, eyes always upon her back, his face a mask of indifference. Zelda wanted nothing more than to rid herself of his constant presence.

    Five years ago, he walked beside her. A smile upon his face, mischief in his eyes, his expressions loud and free. Zelda basked in their joint freedom, their choices finally uninhibited.

    Now, he walks before her. Sword drawn, eyes vigilant, ready to shield her from any danger, to keep her from being torn away from him once again. Zelda, truthfully, is at a loss for how to react.

     

    A look at their lives before the Calamity, after the Calamity, and after the Upheaval.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Best line: It wasn’t just a memory, but a feeling: the sadness of knowing that nothing would ever be the same again, coupled with the certainty that it would still be all right somehow, someday.

    Summary

    Back then, they stood on opposite sides of a gulf: Zelda resenting the confines of her childhood, Link trying to pick up the shattered pieces of his. Bridging the gap now means building upon grief and unfamiliarity. But she’s spent so long missing him—she’s sick to death of wasted time.

    “I’m right here,” she says, sliding her fingers through his. “Will you tell me what happened?”

    Fireplace shadows flicker over his bandaged face. Maybe he’ll refuse. Zelda remembers Epona’s hooves kicking up dust, his proud green tunic disappearing behind the crest of a hill. Maybe all hope for their future died that day—or maybe time and tragedy only helped it grow.

    Link’s answer comes slowly, like drawing venom from a wound. “Well,” he murmurs, tightening his grip on her hand, “I got lost.”


    The hero searches for something he’ll never regain, the princess becomes a queen, and fate gives them a second chance.
