They call him Rat-a child of the Yiga, cast down into the darkness. Surviving in the Depths, he lives for vengeance against the swordsman Link.
When Rat's battle with the hero takes an unexpected turn, he lands at the mercy of the man he tried to kill. He discovers Link is not as callous as he believed. There's a man behind the hero, with his own struggles and dreams, who might be worthy of Rat's respect, maybe even his trust.
But the Yiga don't forget, and they don't forgive. As Rat's loyalties shift, he finds himself on the run for his life. To earn his freedom and save his newfound family, he'll have to face his past and return to the Depths, and become his own kind of hero.

Short Tempered - Zelink Modern AU
Link was a bit of a problem child when he first started school, all he ever knew was the kindness from his best and only friend, so when faced with other nastier people their age, he didn't react too well. Skip forward a couple years and he's improved. Expressing his feelings however didn't come so naturally to him, so he decided to just... Go for it, in an extremely weird way, and just expect her to get it. He wanted to be nice to people, so he just accepted everything and went with what the other person desired. This was going well until he got himself in a rather sticky situation. (All of these characters are owned by Nintendo)Complete

"Princess!" he yelled after her. "Where are you going?" "Back to the castle," she replied without stopping. "Not by yourself you're not!" "I'm sorry,"-she whipped around-"I didn't realize you were my father?" "Your father, the king, would execute me for letting you travel by yourself." "Oh, so this is about self-preservation?" "Yes. Yours. There are monsters all over Hyrule now, Your Highness." Blue eyes pointedly looked her up and down. "And by the looks of it, you're not equipped to handle that." She mirrored his scrutiny and scoffed. "What, and you are?" She gestured to the cairns beyond the trees. "Are you going to protect me as well as you protected them?" Calamity is upon Hyrule. The Goddess Hylia appointed but two children to prevent the end of the world. The powers they were promised don't come easily, and after years of outright failure, Princess Zelda can't help but wonder if Hylia chose wrong. It certainly doesn't help that the boy fate has tangled her with makes her seethe. Devotion, heartbreak, inadequacy. Faith, perseverance, and courage. This is a story of finding what lies within.
