Breath of the Wild - One Shots

Frostbite, (Link x Reader)

Summary: Frost Talus = meanie. Link = sweetie. You = ouchie. Not edited... Sorry!

"Come on, Link! Gesane asked us to go kill that Frost Talus in Coldsnap Hollow. Then we have to head to " You tugged on Link's sleeve as he finished pulling his Snowquill Tunic over his chest. A soft smile was growing on his face along with a small hint of blush appearing on his nose. He swiftly slipped his gloves on and positioned his weapon stash on his back.

"You've never taken on a Talus before, [Name]. So stay behind me okay?" He held your arms firmly, his gaze full of concern for your well-being.

"I will. Promise!" You grinned, nodding your head. Leaning forward, he pressed a warm kiss to your forehead, his lips lingering for a moment before pulling away.

It was obvious that he was worried about the quest. It was true that you had never taken on a Talus before, at least not a giant one. How hard could it be? The smaller ones were fairly simple to take out, but that can mostly be accredited to the Sheikah Slate. You weren't a trained fighter like Link, he had taught you most everything you knew and took great pride in how far you had come. A few months ago you couldn't even knock out a Bokoblin, and here you were heading out to take on a Frost Talus. Just the other day you had defeated a full nest of Lizalfos, and there were nearly 8 of them!

You had been traveling with Link ever since he saved you in the Faron Region from a stupid Lynel that wouldn't leave you alone. Well... maybe it was kind of your fault. Like an angel from heaven, he swooped in and slayed it with no problem at all; even gave you the shield. He offered to escort you back to your home, thinking you lived nearby, and was surprised to hear that you didn't have one. Surely feeling some sort of pity for you, he offered to let you travel with him.

He didn't talk much at first, just a quick "yeah" or "no" here and there. On the rare occasion that he would say an entire sentence, you would completely soak up the moment. Overtime, he grew more and more comfortable around you. Eventually, you could carry on fully conversations.

Supposedly he was the Hylian Champion that had only been discussed in stories. At first, you couldn't believe it but once you met Impa, Purah, and Robbie, it was obvious he was the real deal. A couple months later he expressed his growing feelings toward you and a few weeks after that you were an inseparable pair. He was the sweetest and always took care of you. You couldn't have asked for anything more.

"I don't recall the mountains being this cold." You joked, pulling your scarf tighter around your neck as the gusting wind whipped down from the mountain peaks. Your snow boots became stiffer and stiffer in the white blanket that coated the ground. The further up you went, the more snow there was. Link hummed in agreement, his head constantly surveying from side to side. When traveling, he always stayed on high alert.

"We're here." Link held his hand out to stop you in your tracks, he lightly gripped onto the buttons covering your stomach. One of his hands raised to point out a large, almost glowing, rock formation buried in the snow. "That's it."

"That's it? It looks like a huge block of ice... Can we melt it?"

He huffed in amusement, a small cloud of white exhaling from his nose. "No," he knelt down and motioned to the odd colored stone attached to its back. "We shoot that with arrows."

"I'm not good at aiming though, you know that."

"It'll be good target practice, just remember to stay behind me, okay?"

"What if I accidentally shoot you?"

"You won't." he smiled and took out a few arrows, handing them to you.
