Breath of Another World (BOTW Link x Reader)

The Switch

(Fanart by @_crowling_ - I really need to learn Y'all's Wattpad @s I am so sorry)

*Rises from a pile of ashes* I HAVE RETURNED!!!!!

Ahem.

Hi. It's been awhile hasn't it?

Oh my gooood it feels so good to be writing again, you have no idea how much I've missed this! I really wanted to upload sooner, but I just felt like I wasn't in the right mind to write something I could be proud of.

But that has finally changed! I can do what I love again, with what is mostly a clear mindset.

Now then.

For those who have been concerned about my current living conditions, you don't have to be anymore. That guy I told you about has moved away from us, and he's not coming back unless we're ready to see him again. I should also mention that even though I made it seem like he's a bad person, he's not. He was just... not good for us, and he knew that. He was just in denial, and in a bad place mentally and was trying everything he could to keep us close to him. He was just using the wrong methods, and they did more harm than good. What he did was still wrong, but honestly the fact he apologised for it, and left us alone makes me believe he will come out of this a better person.

All of us are healing now. Slowly, but it's better than not healing at all.

Thank you everyone for your words of encouragement, and the love you shared. And if any of you are going through something similar, know you are not alone. Know that there is alway light at the end of the tunnel.

(Also the fact this happened just before lockdown is like we dodged a god damn bullet. That would've been so awkward!)

Now then, with all that out of the way. Enjoy this overdue, lengthy chapter because you all deserve it.

Also, uhhh I'm not supposed to do this, so shh,

But... spoiler alert...

Backstory

Okay goooooo!

"We are not using that."

"Yes we are."

"No, we're not. Didn't you hear that Goron?"

"He doesn't have to know!"

My eyebrows furrowed, and I pointed at the cannon Link was standing on "How in the name of the gods is he not going to notice that giant thing going boom?!"

"Uhhh..." he side glanced at the object "His back could be turned?"

"Link can you be serious?" I was beginning to grow impatient with the hero "How the hell can we even operate it?"

"Think about it! I'm strong enough to operate it, and... you're good with bombs!"

"Am I now...?"

"No idea, but I had to commend you on something."

My eyebrow twitched "How about this; I'm good at seeing that this is a really bad idea!"

This had been going on for a while now, and it was starting to get annoying. We were both on our last elixir, it was growing dark, and we were specifically told not to play with the cannons. And yet Link still insists on using one to blow up a Lizalfo camp. He's so freaking stubborn... so am I, but for the right reasons...
