You've been here before, haven't you? Not this specific here, no, nor this specific you. That soul of yours is old, little Star, weathered and scarred but strong as ever. Your place in the cycle is inevitable, as always.
THE MORNING SUN ROSE HIGH OVER THE ARID LANDSCAPE OF DORNE, its heat already palpable even in the early hours as he guided Epona towards the towering walls of Sunspear. Days earlier Link had thwarted a band of outlaws he heard was terrorizing local villages. And, even if to him it didn't seem too important, the fact that a complete stranger had decided to help had earned him the gratitude of the Dornish — and even an invitation from Arianne Martell herself to visit her family's ancestral seat in recognition of his bravery and skill.
When he finally reached his destination, he was greeted by a pair of guards who he followed through the corridors. Though, his attention was more in the exotic mosaic of colors, sounds, and smells the Dornish court seemed to be, than in the small conversation they tried to have with him until they got to the great hall. To his surprise, there weren't many people there, the quiet room contrasting with the bustling corridors outside. In all honesty it offered a brief and welcomed break, as the doors behind him soon opened. The soft noise making him turn ❝ Princess Arianne, ❞ the knight began, bowing his head slightly ❝ it is an honor to be here. ❞

AND WHAT HURTS THE MOST IS PEOPLE CAN GO FROM PEOPLE YOU KNOW TO PEOPLE YOU DON'T…He may have regained a few of his memories. Something that should bring him joy, but instead, it comes with a bitter ache ❝ They were my friends, ❞ he murmurs, the companions meant to stand by his side, fighting together to vanquish the Calamity once and for all. But that wasn't how it ended, was it ? They are dead, and that is a weight that makes him falter. His next words catch in his throat.
His gaze falls, lingering on the ground ❝ and the only thing I have of them are a few scattered moments ❞ Their laughter, their faces, the sound of their voices — ALL OF IT FEELS SO DISTANT. And it is a cruel twist, isn't it ? To remember them again, as if meeting them for the first time, only for those memories to become a painful reminder of what had been ripped away and could never return. Yet the loss doesn't stop with them. It spreads further to the other soldiers of the royal guard in which he had served and every other person who had slipped entirely from his mind, lost to the depths of his forgotten past.

Trying to come up with a modern au for Link and honestly the closets I'm getting to his role in canon is that he's a bodyguard of the royal family.
I have seen some people talk about their muse's height on the dash and this is a good opportunity as any to remind you guys Link is 5'2
I swear, the tp maga is just... purely a masterpiece.
I have been thinking of a hunger games verse for Link and I'm liking the idea that he might be the son of a district 2 soldier who gets in trouble with the capitol and whose wife is forced to flee in order to avoid being killed either to district 7 ( closer to oot since it's mostly forests ) or 9 ( closer to tp since it specialises in farming).
Reading again the Twilight Princess manga has given me the urge to write things in that verse and, since I don't have any at the moment, like this for a starter ( length may vary ) from the Hero of Twilight.
nonverbal meme prompts ↪ they seem few & far between, so i tried to come up with as many scenarios as i could think of where dialogue wasn’t a necessary starting point. some are more uh specific than others / drabble-y, but they’re all dialogue-free ( tho ofc this does not necessarily extend to the response itself ). to reverse who sends what, send ‘ [ prompt ]+ ’ ! alter any as you see fit, & lemme know if anything’s unclear ♡
