Empty Promises (BOTW LINK X READER)

Chapter 16

Sorry I haven't updated for a while guys! :(

-
Knowing glances were shared around the group. Looks of sorrow evident on their faces. This is what they had all been training for, and now the time had come, they didn't feel ready. The Champions all felt so small and weak, helpless against the monstrous size of the newly reincarnated Calamity Ganon. Even Revali, the cocky Rito Archer, felt so small and helpless.

"C'mon guys. You've all been training for this for so long! Hyrule needs you, our Champions, to stop Calamity Ganon once and for all! They're counting on you," You said to the group before turning to Link,"I'm counting on you."

The cerulean eyes of the golden haired Hero sparked- with confidence or determination, you did not know. You and Link shared a weak smile before turning to the rest of the group.

"Champions!" Daruk yelled,"to your Divine Beasts!"

"(Y/N), what are you going to fight with, might I ask?" Your sister asked you, worrying for your safety.

You, Zelda and Link were running through the woods, trying to find a place to get Zelda to safety while you assisted Link and the Champions fight Ganon.

"Don't worry, Zelda. I'll find something." You replied, taking a deep sigh afterwards.

"Well, I'm sorry I keep asking questions. I, as your big sister, am just looking out for you, is all." Zelda replied.

"Yeah, but-"

Link had been listening to both yours and Zelda's conversation with a small smirk on his face. Never had Link seen you so sassy, except for when you stood up to your father. Link began to zone out of the conversation when he heard something in the distance.

"Guys, shut up." He said. You and Zelda both turned around and simultaneously said,"No."

"No, seriously. I heard something," The blue clad Hero pushed himself in front of you and Zelda with his sword drawn,"stay back."

Leaving Link to defend both you and Zelda made you feel guilty. Quickly looking around for a weapon, you spotted a broadsword stuck into the ground by an old ruin. Too determined to find a way of defence, you didn't see the small horde of Guardians heading towards you.

Before you could run too far, Link caught your hand.

"No," he said,"look. There's Guardians. You could've gotten killed. Now stay behind me." He placed a small kiss on your head, and gently pushed you behind him again.

You turned around to look at Zelda, who was on the wet ground, scrunching her fingers into the mud. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she whispered,"It's all my fault..."

"Zelda? Are you oka-"

Before you could ask your question, Zelda's eyes widened. She pushed you out the way and ran forward to catch Link, who had collapsed from exhaustion. A tear ran down your cheek as you rushed over to him and Zelda.

A Guardian, which had now been placed under Ganon's control, appeared in front of you. It's spider-like legs dug into the ancient foundations of the small ruin. It pointed it's beam straight towards you.

"No!" Zelda screamed, jumping in front of you both, outstretching her hand.

Time seemed to stop. A pale yellow glow illuminated the sky and the area around you. It went away as quickly as it came. Zelda lowered her hand and looked at it, seeing a faint Triforce glow on it.

All the Guardians around you had collapsed due to Zelda's power. Finally, after all her hard work, she had awakened it.

"Link..." She turned around as she heard you whisper Link's name. She rushed over to you both.

"Link? Link. Stay with me, okay? What's my name, Link?" You asked him, trying to keep him conscious. He laid his head in your lap and began to cough.

"(Y/N)..." He said, before finally passing out.
