Breath of Another World (BOTW Link x Reader)

Setbacks

I won't lie; trekking up a cold path In untameable heavy rain, accompanied by an annoying blonde was a pain in the butt. Link's extroverted personality mixed terribly with my introverted 'leave me the heck alone' attitude.

I just wanted Ganon to be banished already, so I could go back to my boring, non important, non world saving life. I'm not made for this heroine stuff.

Well - I am... It was what I was born for-- but... Ya know what, nevermind...

As we walked, I hadn't noticed I had spaced out, and the only reason I snapped out of it was due to Link's horrendously annoying method of getting my attention.

"Y/N. Y/N. Y/N. Y/N. Y/N. Y/N. Y/N." He inhaled "Y/NNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!"

Oh for the love of— "WHAT?!" I screeched, spinning around to scowl at the teenager. He seemed unaffected, and placed a hand on his belt.

"Are you hungry?"

My eyebrows crinkled in confusion at the question "...Why?"

"Well, it's getting pretty late." He pointed out, gesturing to the darkening sky behind clouds "And we haven't really eaten anything besides apples and that one meal on the Great Plateau. Plus... your stomach's been growling for the past fifteen minutes."

"What?" I glanced at my stomach, and then back at him "It has no—"

Grrrrrrrrwlllllll

My eyes widened, a huge wave of weakness taking over as my stomach began whining Feed me! Feed me! Like that plant from Little shop of Horrors.

"We're ignoring that." I deadpanned.

"No we're not." Link retorted and took ahold of my arm, leading me across the path and behind a rather large rock. On the other side was a group of reptile creatures dancing around a cooking pot. These creatures, from Link's Hyrule Compendium, were known as Lizalfos. They didn't seem so bad when I was running them over with Epona, but up close...

Yeah... Nope

"What the hell are you planning?" I hissed to Link. He didn't answer, and instead continued to type away on his Shiekah Slate. After a moment, he held out his hand and a glowing bomb materialised. I jumped back and protested with a whispered yell "What the—!"

"I didn't just get Spirit orbs at those shrines." He replied with a smirk, before yeeting the bomb over the rock right towards the Lizalfo camp. They approached it in confusion, which gave Link the opportunity to detonate. A round of startled and pained cries mixed with the explosion, weapons and scaly bodies flying everywhere while Link chuckled sadistically. But he wasn't done. Oh no, as if he hadn't surprised me enough already, a line of energy shot out from the slate and took ahold of a large metal box.

What the actual hell...?

With a swift turn, the box shot through the recovering Lizalfos and sweeping three of them away. The impact was enough to kill, which only left two monsters who clutched their weapons wearily.

"Okay, enough playing." Link sighed and unsheathed his sword, addressing me without really looking at me "Stay here, I'll deal with the rest of them old school."

And that he did. He jumped over the rock and plunged his blade into the ground, sending a wave that finished the weakened enemies off as quickly as Thanos's snap. Link whistled and twirled his sword around before putting it away, turning towards me with a smirk.

I think he's getting a little cocky with fighting...

"Okay, two questions." I declared, holding up two fingers "One, when were you planning on telling me about those strange abilities of yours. And two, why the hell didn't you do that with the guardian?"
