Redemption (Link x Reader)

Chapter 1: 100 years ago

The room was dark only illuminated by the moon that passed overhead every night. The water surrounding the Goddess statute grew small flowers and lily-pads.

The walls were overflowing with vines that harbored various creatures like small mice and birds nests. And there in the center, your body laid basking in the warm light provided by tonight's full moon.

"Wake up (Y/n)...." a soothing voice called

Your eyes still closed began to twitch as your deep slumber was coming to an end. A bird drinking water nearby hopped close by and pecked at your forehead. If you weren't awake before this sure did the trick.

Your voice was dry and cracked, eyes opening softly you sluggishly raised your hand to rub the peck mark on your head

Groggy didn't begin to cover how you felt, your muscles were stiff as you managed to sit upright with the water you slept in rolling off your body. Feeling cold, you saw you were only dressed in your underwear and bra with a bandage wrapped delicately under your chest.

You managed to stand up with shaky legs and looked around the unfamiliar area you were in. You peered up to the huge statue unsure of what exactly it was. Placing your hand on it you felt the cold to the touch.

You felt drawn to it for some reason and placed your forehead on it closing your eyes wanting to rest once again.

"You mustn't fall asleep little one, your time is now. Princess Zelda waiting for you."

"Huh?" you backed up looking at the statue's face, you swore it just talked to you.

"Please, save Hyrule, destroy Ganon, but please... I beg of you. Find the hero Take your Sheikah slate and some clothes, located in these wooden crates. Go...Savoir of Light..."

Silence followed after hearing the statue (presumably) speak to you. You turned around scanning the rest of the area for anything to help you with your travel

You quickly noticed that one of the cave walls you were in was completely made up of leaves and vines. Going through that seemed like an easier option than climbing up the wall and out the very large hole up top. Even if it meant going through spider webs and creepy crawlies - nope.

You knew you had to help, so you threw on the well worn attire and grabbed the so called Sheikah slate. Making your way out the shrine wasn't tough, but the real problem was the harsh sunlight that gave you no time to adjust to the outer worlds brightness.

As you looked around you noticed smoke. It's pretty obvious that someone was there, I mean who else would make the fire?

Finally making it to the point of destination, you found an old man.

His hood was raised, and you could only see the snow-white beard pouring out from under the hood and his green orbs. He walked deeper into the cabin, placed the wood on the floor next to the table in the middle of the room, and began progressing himself towards you. Each time he took a weighted step, the wooden floorboards beneath would creak and moan.

"Why hello there young lady! I see you have awoken. How much time has elapsed since then?" he asked in a rough and low tone. You noticed he had a British accent.

You thought that was a rather strange question to ask someone who had just woken up, but you eventually brushed the oddness away.

"Um... maybe five... five minutes?" you stuttered. For a moment, you failed to recognize your own voice. It was as if you had completely forgotten it. It was soft and sweet. It sounded angelic and had a gentleness to it. You were a bit taken back by how harmonic it sounded, yet you refused to show it.
