Parting was such sweet sorrow. And if there was one thing that Link didn't want to part with, it was Ordon Village. His home. His heart. His entire existence.

Rusl had suggested that Link should be the one to deliver the sword to Hyrule Castle. He was of that age now, and it would do him no good to linger in a human village for the rest of his life herding cattle. Link wanted to refuse, for the repetitive normality he was used to was his favourite.

But Link was nothing if not eager to help out, and considering Rusl had a baby on the way, it was the wiser of all ideas he considered.

He just knew he'd have a hard time leaving the place.

I have nothing to say. I wanted Link content, I gave Link content.

Also lets you figure out which game I've been playing again as of late. I'm really hoping Nintendo release twilight princess on the switch for its 20th birthday.

Enjoy the slightly angsty fluff! And yes, I gave him a wee country twang to his accent.

Enjoy! <3
