Y/n came to a stop beside him, streatching their arms with a groan of relief. They were a staple in his life just as he was in theirs. He found himself missing the Shiekah whenever they would have to split up for missions, or even when they parted ways at the end of the day. It was nice having someone he could let loose with and not have to uphold the ‘Hero of Hyrule’ title around. They knew him too well so of course he wouldn’t be able to hide from them. Link smiled sheepishly at his partner and they huffed out a chuckle at him. Between the two princesses and Y/n, Link would get an earful if he ever went through with something so reckless.

That was something he would do if he had the assurance he wouldn’t get hurt. “If you could use Daruk’s Protection one time, you would use it to go extreme shield surfing.” “Oh who am I kidding,” Y/n fell into step beside him with a grin matching the humour in their eyes “If you had a shield you would never dodge at all.” It would be nice to not have to worry so much. Spending all your time in battle trying to see the enemies next move could be exhausting on the mind. It’d just be nice to have that extra protection y’know!”

Not that I’d stop dodging all together if I could make a shield. “I’m just saying, It’s great being able to run super fast and quietly, but it would still be nice to not have to worry so much about dodging. Y/n walked a few paces ahead of him chatting on about how cool it would have been to have a shield ability like Daruk. Link kept a steady pace as he walked down the trail from Death Mountain.

Things are moving along and we’re finally getting to the ~romance~ right near the end of the story. Coming home from a visit to Death Mountain and its resident Champion, Link and Y/n finally admit the truths they have been hiding.Īn: I realized this title sounds lowkey sad but I swear this is a happy chapter.
