Had a lot of people asking about the scene when Link dismisses the sages so I drew it :3 I will say I totally forgot the fact it’s specifically the avatars that are there so I colored all of this before I realized lmao. But I liked the colored version too much to not use it so instead you get both!

(Did i purposely find a way to cover almost all of Mineru? Yes. I love her, but my god is she hard to draw fhfdjhf)

For those of ya’ll who don’t know me from ao3, this is from a fanfic I wrote. It is also a SidLink fic, jsyk, but obv there’s a lot of other things happening too lol.

For the one word ask box challenge:

"Tackle"?

Love your writing btw💙💙💙💙

Link was a fair fighter when it came to sparring - he knew that his life wasn't on the line and it wasn't truly necessary to tackle anyone once he lost his weapon, but Sidon knocked away his silverscale spear and Link instinctually pounced, catching the larger Zora very off-guard.

It wasn't very often that Sidon felt small, or even weaker than an opponent - if anything he thought he would hate it - but Link's hands were on his shoulders and there was a spark in his eye that looked a little dangerous.

Sidon found that he rather liked this.

Sidlink prompt please! Blood Moon!

warnings: animal death, violence, gore

It had all escalated so quickly.

One moment, they were riding comfortably side by side, enjoying the coolness of the night paired with the starry sky, the next moment they were surrounded by lynels.

Link didn’t even know that they hunted in… packs.

Whenever he had encountered them before, he had fought single individuals. Red-maned, blue-maned… never against one in a colour like this one, whose attacks he desperately tried to deflect with his master sword.

When Link had visited Zora’s Domain as a final preparation for his fight against the Calamity, Sidon had proposed to follow Link to Rito Village - opening up new trade options with the whole of Hyrule was the next big step to nurture Zora’s Domain back to its former glory. Link – stupidly infatuated that he was with the Zoran prince – had not been able to deny the proposition as he himself had to seek out Harth for his help to repair the Great Eagle Bow. A weapon, he was sure he needed during his final fight.

The road so far had been long, but the Titans were finally tamed.

The fights had been vicious, but Link had been able to come out victorious through each and every single one.

With the Titan’s reconquest, more and more villages and cities were able to send out troops aiding the fight and eliminating anything that lay between them and peace. While defeating Ganon was only a task the Hero himself could take over, the troops of the different races did whatever was in their might to aid.

It was a shift that had decimated the numbers of the different monster species’s successfully, but with this decimation also came the monsters’s desperation.

Yes, the attacks had lessened, but their severity had increased.

And now Link and Sidon were confronted with not only one, but three lynels at once.

Another blow hit Link’s sword. The hero slipped and almost lost his footing; the ground underneath him slippery with the blood of one of their horses.

His mare- he couldn’t think about her fate now.

Another clash.

His leg muscles quivered under the strain of keeping the body upright under the force of the attack.

Behind himself he could hear the scream of a dying creature; momentarily distracted Link looked to the side and saw one of the two silver lynels collapse to the floor – a grave mistake.

A sharp blade hit him in the shoulder and incapacitated his left arm – reigning his shield arm useless. The heavy metal of the Hylian shield hit the floor, followed by the spilling of his own life essence.

One step forward, two steps back – everything around him became blurry and unfocused.

 A golden shadow moved towards him – the golden lynel - how had he never seen one of this colour before? – and Link clenched his teeth together, awaiting the fatal blow.

A red silhouette moved with a speed between Link and the lynel that even the Hero would have found difficult to replicate; being thrown back onto the spoiled grass in the process.

In a daze, Link watched the spectacle in front of him.

Sidon’s teeth were bared; his usually friendly and kind demeanour had changed into the caricature of an animalistic creature.

Watching Sidon take on the beast was like watching two ancient giants fight – awe-inspiring and terrifying at the same time.

The battle in front of him had no similarities left of the fighting tactics he had learned as a knight and used ever since – it was brute strength against brute strength.

Movement behind him distracted him from the spectacle in front of him – it was one of the collapsed silver lynels. Its side was bleeding heavily – Link guessed that Sidon had pierced one of the beast’s two hearts.

Pushing past the dizziness that overcame him, Link sprang up to his feet and buried his sword with a forceful thrust inside the creature’s torso. The lynel’s sharp claws wrapped around Link’s hand gripping the sword’s hilt, leaving painful claw marks in his skin.

Until-

It collapsed to the ground with nothing more but a dying grunt.

Silence filled the space and after a while, and Link dared to look back and check on Sidon.

The prince was on his knees, clutching his side, the white patterns on his scales darkening with his own blood.

The monster lay motionless in front of the Zora, parts of its torso missing, its bared ribs glistening like a gory piece of art.

Link stood up on unsteady legs and went over to Sidon, gently pulling away the prince’s hand and examining the wound. The Zora’s blood was hot underneath his hand - a stark contrast to the chilly wind blowing around them.

The wound was deep but non-lethal. Link couldn’t believe that they made it out alive.

Slowly, Link’s muscles relaxed. The worst was over.

Link let the relief of victory run through his body until-

Suddenly, Sidon grabbed Link’s arm and held him in a painful clutch.

Before Link was able to ask, Sidon gestured towards the sky behind him, clear fear visible even in the dark.

A sick and heavy feeling spread in Link’s pit of the stomach.

Already knowing what he would see, he turned.

The first rays of crimson light started to paint the surface into a nightmarish image. And with the arrival of the moon, the lynels corpses began to change.

Link knew that they only had fractions of moments to react.

“We need to go – NOW!”

His voice, rarely used, was raspier and more silent than he had intended, but the urgency still came through.

Together, they ran away from the battle scene and towards a cliff.

They looked down the ravine and Link’s heart dropped to his stomach.

He had lost his paraglider in the midst of battle, and while there was a river running underneath, jumping would mean his sure death.

Collecting all his courage, the Hylian made a decision.

He couldn’t let another loved person die. He wouldn’t.

Readying the master sword, he never let go off inside his hand, Link turned to Sidon with a determined gaze.

“Go. I will fend them off and give you some time. I have the protection of the former champions – you don’t.”

Sidon looked at him, unbelieving.

“I am not going to leave you here!”

Link gritted his teeth in stress and frustration.

“There is no other way, we won’t make it otherwise!”

Even with the champion’s protection, Link wasn’t sure he would make it. He didn’t voice the concern.

Sidon gripped the hero’s arm once more. While it was less forceful, it didn’t lose its intensity.

“We will jump.”

“I won’t be able to-“

Sidon silenced Link by placing his free hand on Link’s cheek. It was so big compared to Link’s fine features.

“I know. I will take the impact; my body can handle it.” Sidon’s facial expression became more serious than he had ever seen it before.

Before Link could protest, Sidon asked a question that rendered him silent.

“Do you trust me?”

Link stared into the golden irises in front of him. His throat felt tight with all the anxiety he felt, but –

He nodded.

The lynels started rising once more and after sheathing his sword, he closed his eyes, surrendering to Sidon’s ministrations.

The enraged roar was the last thing he heard before Sidon wrapped his arms around the smaller body and jumped over the edge.

I wrote a sidlink fic. First look at the whole work on my kofi! Will be posted to AO3 at a later date.

So uh

Gonna write my first ever loz fic

It's gonna be a botw/totk modern day + human au

And uh

As I've started planning it out, I've come to realize that it's a whole Link/Harem fic

And I'm actually

Very excited for it

I've never written something like this

But going off the whole everybody's in love with Link thing

And Link sleeps around a lot (but like in a cute way)

But the actual endgame is Sidlink because that's where the story started

But also low-key trying to stop myself from making it Sidlink + Revalink because I was never really a Link/Revali shipper until I made them best friends in this fic and now I can't get enough of their dynamic akahaka

Might do a completely different fic that's Link/Revali or just an alternate version of my own fic that's got a Link/Revali endgame, idk 💀💀

Tomorrow, he decides. Tomorrow he will go to Zora’s Domain and reaffirm his devotion to Sidon. And hopefully, Sidon will still feel the same way. But how should he do that? There’s the question.

Or, where Link and Sidon approach the conversation about moving forward with their long-term engagement in different ways.

Very different ways.

Read Falling for You on Ao3

when the sparring becomes homoerotic! 😳

Guys they all have two hands. No guys hear me out-

Dumb idea with TOTK and sidlink/Sidlinkona where Poly relationships are super common with the Zora and Link doesn’t realise that Sidon already proposed to him and they’ve technically been engaged since around BOTW, and Yona is Sidon’s fiancée but Link is Sidon’s intended.

Everyone in the Zora domain think Link already knows this, they don’t realise he doesn’t have all his memoires back still. Zelda knows but she thought Link must know after all how can he get engaged and not know… plus she’d seen him and Sidon interact.

Yona is super excited meeting Link and ok may have fallen a bit for him just from all the letters Sidon sent her and everything he’s said since she arrived, she realty wanted to send letters to him before but wasn’t sure if that was proper protocol or not.

Link has zero fucking idea what’s going on, it’s only at the wedding that he actually realises what’s happening.

Sidlink Headcanon randon thoughts:

Sidon has had a crush on Link as a small child, and was absolutely devastated when he 'died'.(?) He spent 100 years thinking about Link dearly just like he did Mipha (Basically Canon)

He is thrilled to get to be an adult together with Link (Hylian are like dogs in that way toward the Zora, they age 7 times faster)

He is worried that the Hero is a baby that only lived 20ish years???? Even Mipha was like fifty or something. Baby is working so hard.

Sidon started liking Yona because she was a glutton as a child (hes into that obviously)

Btw I'll never be convinced that any race that can live hundreds of years is 100% monogamous, doesn't check out, pretty sus. Unless there is an evil dictator or something, but Dorephan looks chill. (Weird sex stuff is definetly happening under the domain. NO DOUBT)

Summary:

It didn’t matter that his heart was breaking. That the Zora he loved was marrying someone else. That he sat there and watched him get married. Because at the end of the day Link knew he couldn’t allow himself to break. Allow himself to feel.

He had to find Zelda.

And then everything would be fine.

Or:

Link is majorly going through it, but refuses to ask for help. After learning of Zelda’s fate, Link’s journey finally takes its toll on him, and all of Hyrule is forced to come to terms with the burden their hero endures.

Link is Hyrule’s Hero, the knight who never backs down from any challenge, but what happens when the hero they all love is in need of rescuing from himself?

Or; or:

I saw all the shit Link’s been going through on his own, and decided Hyrule wouldn’t stand for it.

This is a SidLink fic, but it’s also pretty heavy on the found family regarding Link, Zelda, the Sages + some others. If that sounds up your alley than hey! Maybe you’ll enjoy this fic.

Excerpt - The Hands That Wield the Sword

Link steps over to the wide doors that open to the balcony and opens them. Just as his foot crosses the threshold, he hears behind him:

“I show you a secret tunnel out of and into my chambers and you still choose to leave through the window? It is good that you choose to be a hero, if you had been an assassin instead, I doubt there is any way you would be as accomplished.” The deep voice behind him freezes Link in his tracks. He turns around and sees the very person he was “trying” to avoid standing in the middle of the room, a hand on his hip, a teasing smile on his face.

“I was just going to stand outside, maybe go for a swim,” Link signs, the tips of his ears hot.

“Yes, of course you were, with all your gear on your person and tiptoeing through doorways. Is the thought of running into someone outside so laborious to you that you would rather leap into the waters from over 10 meters above?” His tone was light, but it pricked at something peculiar in Link’s chest that made him worry that the prince wasn’t asking about just anyone. “Surely there must be another way, my friend.”

“The only other way would be directly through the city center and I’m not really up for congratulatory Zora shaking my hands and giving me babies to kiss and bless.” He shrugs and a short laugh bubbles from Sidon’s mouth unexpectedly.

“Wherever did you come up with that scenario?”

“I read it in one of the library books! Some old Zoran story, where the hero gets stuck blessing children instead of going to rest!”

“I can assure you, Link, that no one will be handing over their pups to you anytime soon, no matter what Divine Beast you bring down.” Link grins.

“Good. One less thing to worry about for me.”

Waterfall Serenades - Sidon / Link

Sidlink; Tears of the Kingdom; Canon Compliant

• Chapter 1/? • Explicit • Hurt/Comfort

“Sir Link and Princess Zelda have gone missing.”

In different circumstances, Sidon would have gently reprimanded Dunma for her slip in proper language – addressing a knight before royalty could be seen as an insult in some races. But his brain had a difficult time processing the words. His beloved friend… missing once more?

“Wha-“

But he never got to ask his question.

Because right after the earthshattering revelation did the ground beneath their feet shake and the sky above them fall towards the ground.

Read Out of Time on Ao3

let me help you botw shippers by sharing my original suspected plot

so. basically i originally was like "what if we got to fight the champions in the divine beasts?" and when i found out that wasn't how it worked i was really sad but lemme spill it on out for ya. basically the whole thing up to ruta (who should be everyone's first divine beast imo, but im using it as an example) is the same, you wake up in the shrine of resurrection, you get the paraglider from the old man, you go to kakariko and talk to impa, etc etc. but when you get into ruta (or whatever your first divine beast was) its quiet. the sos tones in the music are much more audible. you find a sign that says "go to the guidance stone and get the map. i'm trusting you, link." or something along the lines of that, and you go, and you clear out the terminals and stuff and go to the main control unit. that's where you'd fight a blight, right? wrong. mipha (or the champion of that respective beast) drops down, covered in malice, with a malice eyeball near her heart. (the eyeball locations vary for each of the champions, urbosa has one on her hand, revali's is on his head, and daruk's is on his right knuckle. these correspond to not only their ablilities but their personalities as well. ex. revali's big ego) her eyes are black and she's a lot stronger, she'll hit you with giant waves that do a lot of damage. occasionally she'll scream out something like "you can do it link" or "help" or just a general noise of discomfort, and you have to hit the eyeball and only the eyeball (if you can.) if you miss the eyeball and hit mipha she'll take damage, which is uh. not what you want, obviously. in phase 2 of her fight she'll do ice mixed in with the waves, and might dash in and spear you with the lightscale trident. when you finally clear off the eyeball's health (around 800 hp if its your first or second beast, the original of waterblight, or 1600 if its your third or fourth) it will do a very dramatic... disappearance? and the malice will go away from mipha. this triggers a cutscene, she'll fall to the ground, using her arms to break the fall n' then look up at link. he'll offer her a hand up, she'll take it and say something like this. "You know, Link, I've been waiting for quite some time... I never lost hope. I knew you'd come to save us. You must go save the others (or if fourth, "You must go save the princess,"), I'll be here, locked onto Hyrule Castle, ready to strike with Ruta at just the right moment. I'd like you to take this ability to help you. It will take a lot from me, but I can recover. I have decided to call it, "Mipha's Grace." Now, go, Link. Save the others. I'm counting on you." And then you fade away like you normally do. Now of course these dialogues, bossfights, and cutscenes vary. Maybe I'll post about the other champion bossfights later but I wanna get to after you beat Ganon. In this, there's a postgame. All of the champions (if you cleared the Beasts and freed them from the malice. If not, you've already saved them before Ganon) come to Hyrule Castle to congratulate you, come see Zelda, etc.. Now that Ganon's sealed away, the Champions can go see their successors, for lack of a better word, and these have cutscenes that will *make you cry*. The Divine Beasts are adventure-able again, and you can hang out, get any chests you missed, and really whatever you want. You can hang out with the champions in their home villages, maybe even.... do a love story (GASP but this would never be canon probably. if i make a mod for this it will happen but if not its stuck in this tumblr post.) with them. There's a lot that you could probably do, a lot of postgame potential. You could go and hang out anywhere you wanted in the Vast Region Of Hyrule(TM). anyway yeah, take that ass you will.
