A lot can happen in one year. Ka-thump! Link released his held breath as he watched the stag he was hunting drop to the ground with little grace. After the return of Zelda and the fall of Calamity Ganon, Link slaved away for one whole year doing what he could to keep himself busy. Then on one fateful day everything changed. Knock, knock, knock! Link looked to his door confused as he looked at the clock hanging on his wall. It was 3:30 in the morning. No one should have been knocking on his door, but what caught his eyes was the small envelope that slid under his door into the kitchen. He placed his cutting knife down and went over to the thing seeing his name written in extravagant hand writing he knew all too well. He flipped the paper over seeing the bright red wax stamp of a cursive S he had grown to love.

The prince of the Zoras has fallen madly in love with the Hylian Champion. Link, oblivious to these feelings that were so inexplicably apparent, agreed to stay with the Zoras for a few weeks after his great feat of defeating Calamity Gabon. Who knew that this supposed "few weeks" would turn into a lifetime? (Romantically One-sided)

Basically I'm trash for this ship and yeah

Masquerade noun 1. a false show or pretense. verb 1. pretend to be someone one is not. Let's jump into this shall we?

Link did all he had to do. He defeated Calamity Ganon he activated and completed all the shrines. He was done. However when Princess Zelda perishes after the battle with Ganon she has one clear dying request: Link has to be the next ruler of Hyrule.

After Link defeats Divine Beast Vah Ruta he is teleported just outside the Zora Domain, but his luck runs short when he runs into a group of Yiga Clan. Link gets off with a serious injury, and his closest escape is Zoras Domain. Link arrives and collapses into the arms of the prince of Zoras. Will Sidon have the chance to tell Link his feelings? Or will Links injuries, or maybe something else, take him? There's some fluff, like hardcore, and some smut.
