Send Me ♡ + A Word, And I’ll Write A Headcanon.

DARKNESS  STRETCHING  ENDLESSLY  AROUND  HIM,  THAT  WAS  THE  ONLY  THING  HE  SAW;  THE  ONLY  THING  KEEPING  HIM  COMPANY.  Until  a  sliver  of  light  breaks  through,  telling  him  that  the  time  had  come  to  awake  again.  And  so  Link  does.  Consciousness  slowly  returns,  and  with  it,  a  dull  ache  that  creeps  into  his  head,  growing  stronger  with  each  passing  second  until  he  feels  it's  about  to  explode.  His  vision  is  also  blurry,  unfocused,  but  as  his  eyes  begin  to  adjust,  he  sees.  .  .pink  ?

He  tries  to  sit  up,  yet  his  body  refuses  to  cooperate,  forcing  the  hero  to  remain  lying  down  as  he  takes  a  careful  look  around  before  turning  his  attention  back  to  @gainscient  ❝  What  happened  ?  ❞  the  sharp  wave  of  pain  he  had  experienced  just  a  second  ago  when  he  tried  to  move  made  the  cause  of  it  hard  to  forget  —  he  had  been  fighting  monsters.  What  came  after.  .  .that  was  the  confusing  part.  So  much,  in  fact,  that  he  wasn't  sure  what  it  was  or  if  it  had  even  been  real  in  the  first  place.  And  to  make  things  even  stranger,  he  doesn't  remember  anyone  else  being  nearby  and  everything  looked  different  from  where  he  finds  himself  now  ❝  Where  am  I  ?  ❞

HIS  HAND  CURLS  INTO  A  FIST  OUT  OF  IMPOTENCE.  He  already  knew  it  wouldn't  be  an  easy  task  to  convince  them.  That  he  would  most  likely  be  refused,  as  his  words  would  fall  on  ears  too  resolute  to  waver.  And  yet,  knowing  did  nothing  to  lessen  the  sting  of  it.  FOR  IT  WASN'T  AS  IF  HE  HADN'T  PROVEN  HIMSELF.  He  had  grown;  he  had  fought  and  overcome  many  challenges;  he  bore  the  blade  of  legend  meant  to  vanquish  evil.  .  .So  why  ?  Why  do  they  still  have  to  treat  him  as  though  he  were  a  clueless,  defenseless  boy  ?  It  makes  his  blood  boil  beneath  his  skin  and  he  has  to  tighten  his  jaw,  breath  hissing  beneath  his  teeth,  in  an  attempt  to  keep  his  emotions  in  check.  But  standing  there,  while  they  make  the  decision  for  him,  he  finds  the  silence  unbearable  ❝  Still.  .  .  !  ❞  the  words  burst  from  him  in  a  short-lived  protests  because,  before  he  can  utter  another  word,  the  sheikah's  voice  cuts  through  the  air  once  more.

For  a  moment  it's  able  to  shut  him.  It  has  been  a  long  time  since  he  learned  to  see  beyond  their  harsh  tone,  to  recognize  the  worry  hidden  beneath  their  bluntness.  If  all  of  it  was  because  of  the  person  or  the  hero,  it  didn't  matter  to  him.  However,  he  cannot  recall  a  moment  where  they  had  ever  spoken  it  so  plainly.  And  that,  more  than  anything,  is  what  only  encourages  him  to  continue  with  his  tantrum.  Despite  their  intentions  likely  being  the  opposite  ❝  That's  precisely  why  I  want  to  go  with  you  !  ❞  he  says,  refusing  to  let  what  may  very  well  be  the  last  opportunity  he  has  before  they  turn  away  slip  through  his  fingers  ❝  You've  always  been  the  one  caring  for  me,  the  one  to  be  there  when  I  needed  it  ❞  the  quiet  figure  in  the  shadows,  a  steady  presence  at  his  side  that  doesn't  leave  him  alone.  Not  truly,  even  if  there  were  things  he  had  to  face  by  himself  ❝  let  me  be  the  one  to  help  you,  if  only  this  once  ❞  and  there,  all  the  frustration,  the  stubbornness,  the  determination  he  has  felt  softens,  turning  into  something  fragile.  A  plea.

❝  Fate  always  finds  its  way  no  matter  what,  right  ?  ❞  like  an  immovable  force,  unshaken  by  the  desires  of  those  caught  in  its  tide.  It  would  not  shift,  not  if  they  cursed  it,  not  if  they  clung  futilely  to  the  hope  that  things  can  be  different.  Fate  offers  no  escape,  no  other  path  but  the  one  that  had  already  been  carved  long  before  he  had  taken  his  first  breath.  Creating  a  story  where  every  role  must  be  played  and  where  he  was  no  exception  ❝  Then,  if  mine  is  to  defeat  that  man  and  restore  peace,  it  will  happen  eventually  ❞  be  it  that  very  same  day,  the  next  one  or  in  a  hundred  years.  If  it  is  meant  to  be,  it  would  be.  Inevitability  being  a  constant  looming  over  those  chosen  to  walk  this  circle  like  a  curse.  The  weight  of  that  certainty  keeps  his  voice  steady  as  he  holds  their  gaze,  searching  for  the  smallest  crack  in  their  resolve  ❝  So,  do  you  really  think  the  gods  will  mind  that  I  accompany  a  friend  along  the  way  ?  ❞

❛ why is it safe for you & not for me ? ❜

the eternal balance can only be tipped so far before it gets upset. if the hero is to walk a path of his own choosing, all possible roads need to have been walked at least once by someone else. it is either the shadow themselves or someone else, even one of the kokiri would suffice, but the path needs to be trodden and it needs to be known to the land of hyrule as a possible line from one point to another - a journey can only become one when it has been noted as such, the archivist in them knows it too well. then there is the part of them that has been made to know sorrow intimately, not only experiencing it but also inflicting it upon the malice of this world if only with the fringes of the dark as their witness. there would be no danger in this land they don't know about, which is not something they'd ever say to link directly, so they accept his sulking and swallow it like they swallow everything else he'd throw at them. they'd suffice with his blood too, though they do their most valiant not to; he is just as danger-prone as a fern in a heavy thunder storm.

a katana and smaller knives, foregoing the paper sigils they know impa enjoys to employ when facing possible enemies - there is nothing their hands couldn't do at the end of the day. link may beat them when it came to swordsmanship, as they made sure of early on and his spirit took care of the rest of the day as he would for times to come, but there is no one to rival the sheikah warrior when it came to close range combat, without any weapons, or to simply shroud the world in a dark veil to dispose of whoever may cause harm to the kingdom or the hero. another thing they would not say. instead they turn to link once he finally vocalised what caused his face to suffer such terrible furrowing, and they clasp his shoulder with a sure hand. " because i am older, and i am more experienced, and because you have other tasks to do. not everything can be safe, but one can gamble how ready they are to step out of their own front door, " they do tell him, a round-about way to signal they are aware of his desire to be useful but more aware of caution to not let him be thrown into a potential blunder all because they couldn't keep watchful eyes. that would never happen.

a thin smile, barely there but kind, is etched onto their face. " do you think i'd let you just charge at anything because you think you can? i'd never invite the chance for you to get hurt into my vicinity just to amuse your idleness. " then they pull the black haori from where it is secured over the back of a low chair and put it over their armour, making sure to appear as inconspicuous as they could be. stopping by link's side again, their gaze softens. " next time. this is nothing you should deal with. it is an matter for the sheikah. "

Happiness:  3  /  10  (  mostly  being  a  god's  chosen  doesn't  mean  things  are  easy  for  this  boy  or  that  he  himself  gets  the  peace  he  helps  achieve  )

Politeness:  10  /  10  (  sometimes  it  reaches  such  high  levels  that  it  gets  annoying  )

Honesty:  1000  /  10  (  he's  pretty  straightforward.  It  isn't  in  his  nature  to  deceive  or  manipulate  and  he  would  be  a  bad  liar  )

Bravery:  1000000000  /  10  (  understood  not  as  the  lack  of  fear  but  continuing  despite  it  and  all  the  difficulties  he  may  have  to  face  )

Sense  of  family:  100  /  10  (  he  mostly  has  no  family  himself  so  found/chosen  one  means  everything  to  him  )

Attractiveness:  100  /  10  (  I  think  it's  fair  taking  into  account  that  there  are  so  many  people  who  have  a  crush  on  him  )

Agility:  8  /  10  (  he's  a  pretty  good  fighter  and  it's  one  of  the  things  he  has  trained  )

Sex  drive:  2  /  10  (  my  boy  is  really  focused  on  his  quest  and  even  after  it  I  think  it  still  isn't  something  he  really  thinks  about  unless  it's  with  a  person  he  loves  )

Just saw the new trailer for echoes of wisdom and let me just tell you that it's looking even better than it already did.

I believe you all should let Link be your muse's protector. He will literally do anything for them.
