Attack on Titan/Zelda crossover - To Hyrule and Back Again

Chapter Four: The Dinner Incident

Link's Point of View

I've been travelling for a while now. As a Goron, I roll through the inside of a second wall, one that's not breached. I pass by many villages with lots of people as I roll northward to see just how big this civilization is. I eventually see yet another wall, and a small town residing just outside the wall. I exit my Goron form before anybody can see me; I've decided to not be seen as a Goron just yet, just in case beings like that aren't normal in this world.

There are... people here, I think. An entire civilization residing inside these walls...

Yet another world that has a giant problem looming over it...

No, I think, I won't get involved this time. I need... I want... to go home.

As I approach the city, I gaze off to the right of me; just above the horizon is what looks like a small fortress. Off to the left is the beginnings of some type of city, a large one at that; I had passed by several villages on my way here, but all of them had been fairly small.

A sign is planted directly in front of the entrance to the town: "Ehrmich Exterior".

I guess the wall up ahead is Ehrmich, and this town is its exterior...

A few minutes after walking about in the town, someone abruptly snatches my ocarina away from my hand. I quickly turn around to see some random guy and a few others, all glaring at me. I step back for a moment and take a defensive position.

"Who the hell are you people?" I aggressively ask.

"What the hell kind of get-up is that? What the hell is this? Those are the real questions, kid," the guy holding my ocarina says sarcastically. He's big, buff, and looks stupid. His followers are more or less the same.

I sigh. "If you give it back within ten seconds I won't hurt any of you."

They're all taken aback, and then, they start laughing.

"A-are you serious?! Is that a joke? No, but for real, what is this? Some kind of old instrument or some shit?"

"Five seconds."

"What're you gonna do? I was just messin' with you. Come on, lighten up, ya dick!"

I pace forward, grab my Mirror Shield from my back, and promptly slap the man with its metallic exterior. He goes stumbling backwards, and I grab my ocarina back from him. Typical dumbass, I think.

"H-hey! You! What the hell, you knocked him out!" one of the man's followers yell at me as I continue into the city.

That knocked him out? Damn. And I went easy on him. Seems people here are weaker than I thought.

. . .

I'm thirteen years old, I think. I just realized that. I spent a pretty long time in Termina, so without a doubt my birthday's already passed. Holy shit.

I traverse the city. Many citizens travel about, talking amongst one another, either on foot, on a horse, or in a carriage. The buildings are densely-packed, too; it's as alive as Hyrule Castle Town, I've noticed. There are restaurants, shops, houses, and lots of guards. There's a certain charm this city gives off that I've never felt before.

The children carelessly run about. The adults mind their business, such as reading a newspaper, talking with each other, or shopping. Wagons filled with supplies pass by me every so often. It's as if there are no giant monsters just outside the walls. As if there's no problem at all. Interesting.
