#also this is an au bc the postman is actually an angel sent from Hylia to aid the heroes (by bringing mail and such!!)
Text
From an Lu weekly prompt, I bring to you… MAIL SHENANIGANS!!
I guess this could also be called.. “From one place to another, a postman’s job is never complete” as the actual title of it.

"Here, can you please deliver this message to Link?" The young princess (or not princess- this is before that time) asked.
"Of course, you can count on me."
"Here, a letter to my grandson, Link." The old smith handed him a carefully wrapped letter.
The postman tucked it carefully into his bag.
"Oh- and before you go. Take this. You might be safer."
He handed him a knife of sharpened metal, clearly well made.
The postman blinked at the large box the women who lived on the ranch gave him.
"Give this to Link please, oh! and before I forget- Here. Take this for all of your hard work."
The postman smiled at the gift.
"Hey- you! I am in need of your assistance!" A voice called out to the postman.
The postman turned his head, being greeted with a hylian dressed in a purple bunny suit.
"First of all- I have a letter to Mr Sir Hero, or also goes by Link. Secondly, will you care for some of my wares?"
Needless to say, the postman did not buy a single thing- He was far too broke already.
"Here, could you give this to Link, my friend?" A raspy voice asked.
The postman nodded, taking the letter given to him. The old man smiled gently at him.
"Thank you." he whispered.
"Hey, I was told you can bring letters to Link while he's on his adventure with his extended family! Could you bring ours?"
Children crowded around him, holding aloft letters to him.
"Yeah- I can."
The postman blinked at his predicament.
A huge stack of letters sat beside him, and a bowl of soup sat in front of him.
"Eat more dear, you must be famished from your adventure!" the old lady poured him some water.
The girl only added more letters to the pile.
"Please, take this letter to General Link, or just Link. He is currently on an adventure. I've been told you can deliver this to him?"
The postman nodded, taking the letter from the queen.
The queen smiled, her armor clanking as she strolled away.
"Let me guess- a letter to Link?"
"You know it! Wait- how did you know that?"
The postman smiled at the beetle backpack merchant.
"I have a keen sort of eye, one could say."
"Here, I have letters for Link, Link, Link, Mr Hero Sir or Link, Link, Link, Link, General Link and Link."
"Mr hero sir?" muttered the one with the blue scarf.
"Don't ask about it, 'General Link'."
"Jeez- touchy much?"
"Here- payment for all of your hard work."
A mailman's job is never over. I will continue to bring letters no matter what.
He shivered at the cold breeze that swept through the mountains.
Finding the house, he walked up and knocked.
There was some rustling, but soon a middle-aged man appeared, peering at the postman carefully.
"And to whom shall I grant the pleasure to?"
"I have a letter for someone who lives here. Who goes by the name of... Link?"
"That would be me."
EXTRA BONUS
"Hello! I have some boxes and letters to the Goddess Hylia?"
"Yes- that is me."
"So, all of these boxes and letters are from the nine Links."
"Ah- which letter or box did the one who wears no pants give you?"
"This box right here."
"Okay then- not going to open that. Thank you for all you have done."
"It was my pleasure. After all, that's what we angels do, we live to bring joy and happiness. We live to serve."
He was enveloped with a warm hug.
"You truly work too much."
