The Knight’s Self-Destruction
by CloudBun (StarseedV)
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?

I thought it would be impossible to simp over game-characters. Genshin Impact proved me wrong.
Prince Sidon of the Zora from Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?
Did you guys know that the most recent version of sharks have fins that are kinda leg like and they like to walk up onto land?
Dusted some of those old Legend of Zelda fanarts I was talking about. I really like Captain Bazz, I redrew some parts of the armor inspired by the ones the Zora Captains wear in Age of Calamity, and also inspired by @gabelew ‘s designs!
Breath of the Wild has so many great NPCs but Link’s Zora childhood friends have to be some of my favs.
there’s no substantial content for Zora!Link so i took up the task myself. i’m also incapable of drawing anything short apparently, so get used to that i guess ;;;
Yona gets so much hate and she doesn't even deserve it like "She broke up Link and Sidon! 🥺" Shut the fuck up.
IT’S SHARK SEASON 🦈
You are brave~
(aughhh…ok. Here’s some of the writing I did on hiatus, sorry that it kinda throws you into it suddenly, im just writing small little bits and parts as I rewrite the entirety of totk 😃 anyhow the perspective is Link, he’s just traveling to Mipha Court. Literally that’s it- I barely remember my exact experience doing this because it was like…months ago and my memory does not serve me correctly. apologies :)
Word Count: 417 (I promise I write more than this-)
Lady Yona told me to go to Mipha Court… Link thought as he continued his walk, minding the sludge that littered the ground as the nutrient eating parasite that it is. The Hero was worried about the water pollution that he overheard some of the Zora speaking of as well, and it stayed on his mind—though his thoughts were cut short as an arrow flew by his head.
Immediately, Link was on guard, holding up his traveler's shield as another arrow flew by, sinking into the wood with a hint of pressure and an audible thunk. With a quick huff, Link makes the quick decision to flee, hoisting his shield on his back once more, breaking into a sprint. He clumsily scrambles past the large blotches of sludge on the grass, more focused on avoiding arrows.
Link is able to get out of the line of sight of the enemy, whatever it was, but not without falling face first into a pile of sludge. He immediately props himself back up, the foul smelling substance getting stuck on his clothes, though it was much less than he expected. He wipes the excess sludge off of him as best he can, and by the texture, he can take a guess that it’s made to latch onto small crevices, like the small area between scales. Something else the Hero picked up on, is how it drained him of energy the same way Gloom did.
Link’s expression shifts to worry as he catches his breath, worried for the Zora, but also mad at himself for not noticing sooner. The sludge was the Zora version of Gloom. He could almost hear the voice of Mipha scolding him for being so hard on himself though, and Link suddenly remembered what he was doing in the first place.
With a renewed sense of urgency, Link continues trekking to Mipha Court. He was already a little nervous about showing up, he didn’t quite know what to expect. With a deep breath though, he arrives, and his eyes widen slightly. He saw sludge being purified…by none other than the Zora Prince, and his best friend, Sidon.
Link was only able to take a few steps towards the Zora, before he had heard him approaching. Immediately the prince’s eyes seemed to smile along with him as he saw the hero.
“Link, my friend! It’s amazing to see you! I’m so glad you’re alive!” Link was immediately taken into a warm albeit a bit tight of a hug.
Baby Sidon is the only thing in my mind right now
