Though history (Link x reader)

First Meeting

(Link's P.O.V)

         There were men everywhere, training for war. Its only been a few days since I've came to the hidden kingdom and I was already scared. Everyone was scared. Usually I have courage to do this but after see all the dead body's coming in every single day...all that courage is gone. 

"Solider formation now!" A man called as he walked to the front of us. The other men got in straight lines as I copied the best I could. The others put a hand behind their back and on over their heart, making fist with both, sauteing . I did the same and looked to the man up front. I'm going to guess he is the general. In the corner of my eye another figure walked up to the general. I looked past the men in front of me to see a girl.
She walked up and stopped at the generals side as he did the same as every other man in the field," good morning Lord (Y/n)."
"Good morning General, what do we have here?" She turned her attention to all of us. She wore a helmet that looked a lot like the one the girl in my dream wore. She had her sword strapped to her side and by the looks, she was thoughts. By the looks, she also hasn't sleep for ever.
"These are all the new recruits, ma'am. They'll be going to the war in a few days," the general explained as she nodded. For a moment, we meet eyes. I froze as I started into her (e/c) eyes as she started into mine. She then looked away to the general.
"Good, we're losing soldiers fast. Damien is growing more powerful as we speak," She spoke calmly as the general nodded and looked to us. Lord (Y/n) looked back to us and walked forward," you boys think war is a game but I'm here to tell you its far from that. Many of you will die but I want you to know now that you will not die for no reason. One day we will take control of these lands and live in peace once more."
All the men cheered as I looked around, keeping quite. I couldn't help but stare. I heard she was beautiful and all but beautiful doesn't even began to describe her. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't realize Lord (Y/n) walking up to me. All the solider parted and she was soon standing in front of me," you!"
I blinked and looked to her, putting my fist over my heart and my hand behind my back as the others did," yes ma'ma."
"You're the one from Hyrule. Why'd you come here, you had perfect freedom in Hyrule I bet," she narrowed her eyes, looking into mine. I gulped and took a shaky breath.
"I did have freedom there but this kingdom need peace and I was willing to help fight for it, ma'am," I explained, trying to keep my voice from sounding scared.
(Y/n) looked at me then smirked," let me guess, you that hero of time right? The one who saved all of Hyrule form the evil dark lord, Ganondorf."
"Yes, ma'am," I nodded, biting my lip.
(Y/n) smirked yet again," well if your he, I would like to test your strength."
(Y/n) turned and walked back to the general. She walked past him then looked back to me," are you coming or what?"
I nodded and followed her quickly. I followed her to another field as the other men gathered around in a circle around us. A man came and handed me a sword before walking over and standing next to the other men. I looked to the sword then up to see (Y/n) taking off her helmet. Her (h/l) (h/c) hair flown out of the helmet and she brushed it out of her face before handing her helmet to the general and walking out into the center. She pulled out her sword and held it in front of her. The general walked in front of us. and looked to me with a dirty look," Lord (Y/n) and this solider..."
"Link," I whispered as he rolled his eyes.
"This solider Link, will fight to test their straight, first one down loses, good luck," I feel like his good luck was mainly to me. He stepped out of the center and I looked to Lord (Y/n). She began to walk in a circle as I walked to other direction. Out of nowhere she ran at me. I gasped and jumped out of the way, hitting swords with her. She was a lot more powerful than me. She pushed my sword off of hers as I lost my balance. She then tripped me with her foot as I hit the cold hard ground. I gasped and flinched from the pain as I heard everyone laughing. I opened my eyes to see (Y/n) putting her helmet back on as she glared at me. That went way faster than I though.
"Winner!" The General held Lord (y/n)'s hand in the air as she jerked it away and put her sword away.
"Nice try but you need more strength if you are to win this war," She turned around and walked off, leaving me. I sat up and sighed, looking down. Everything hurt.
~~~Time skip~~~
I walked across the cafeteria as people dumped into me and muttered things. I looked like a fool to them. I sat down alone in the back and poked at the food, trying to forget my lose. Just a few seconds ago a group of men got back form war. Only about haft came back alive. I could hear to men whispering a few tables away from me. They were also new soldiers, they looked stronger and better at this war thing than me.
"How many men do you think we lost this time?" One of them asked, looking to his friend. The surviving soldiers walked in and got food, each looked traumatized. I watched everyone walk in then Lord (y/n) come in behind them. She leaned against the door frame and looked across the room, her face emotionless.
"Lots. It doesn't even feel like we're going in war anymore. It feels more like a death trap..." The other shook his head as the others nodded. I looked back down at my food and took a breath.
"She's leaning us to our deaths," One recruits spoke, staring at his food. I looked up as he said this then at (y/n)," she doesn't even want anyone to kill Damien."
"She's crazy if she thinks we can win. In the end, we're all going to die," I bit my lip and stood up, walking over to there table as they spoke.
"Look, here comes the weakling," One looked over to me as the others laughed," come to make a fool of yourself again."
I took the boy by his collar and looked him in the eyes," you all are giving up that easy? You call you self men but you sit here blaming Lord (Y/n) for this destruction when it clearly isn't her fault!"
"Oh so your saying we aren't men," The man stood to were he was about a foot taller than me. I blinked but narrowed my eyes once more.
"I guess I am. But we're all not men here. Just the other day I was scared to death of war because I know I will die. But let me tell you something, I'm not going to give up. I'd rather die in war, fighting for Lord (Y/n), than being a slave to Lord Damien!" I shouted as everyone looked to me. I looked down then up again," I didn't come here to be a coward, I came here to be a hero."
I let go of his collar and marched off. I walked past Lord (Y/n) as she watched me with narrowed eyes. I looked to her, blushing and walking faster. I walked into my tent and face planted on my bed. I could hear foot steps outside as I expected the men to come and beat me or something. But it wasn't them.
"Link," I looked up quickly to see Lord (Y/n) standing there in the opening, her eyes narrowed. I was sure she would yell.
"I-I'm sorry if I caused problems ma'ma. I won't do it again I promise I just couldn't let them dishonor you like that and-" I stood up and began to apologize as she raise a hand, silenced me.
"There is no need to apologize for what happen. You may just be the solider we need in this war..." She smiled. I blinked and bit my lip.
"M-Me, ma'am?"
"Yes. I've seen many of solider in my days. Many who have lost courage like those men in there. Tell me, will you lose courage?" She asked as I shook my head.
"No, ma'am."
"We need more men like you here. Courage is not having the strength to go on, but to go on when you don't have strength. You'll do that right?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"Good, I want you to train you best, and learn all you can. I believe you can survive along time in this war with the guts you got. Keep training hard," She turned around and walked off.
"Yes, ma'am, thank you," I smiled sitting back down and letting out a breath. If Lord (Y/n) thinks I can do it, then it must be true....
