Malon , Ocarina of Time
BRAMBLES CONGRATS ON 500 THATS AMAZINGGG. For my request how about Zelda taking care of a sick Link (any zelink, maybe even shink👀)
No Expectations
An Ocarina of Time one-shot, Shink, rated T, ~3000 words, whump, hurt/comfort though perhaps not in the usual sense, also on ao3.
Sheik stared down at the Hero of Idiocy.
His entire body was one massive, inflamed bruise, his eyes swollen shut, lips split from repeated impacts. He had at least three broken ribs—and a concussion, obviously. If Sheik hadn’t pulled him out of there, he’d have become yet another skeleton adorning the depths of the ancient Shadow Temple, his bones pounded into the earth by hands too cursed to be seen.
He clearly hadn’t seen it – not until the last minute, when he’d almost run out of fight.
Irritating as his fairy was, she should have screamed louder.

It's October, so I'm contractually obligated to make an extremely angsty Hero's Shade drawing

Hi @aquaticpal! I'm your Kilton Craft Exchange patron!
Hope you'll like this Deku Shield coaster set and some OOT magnetic bookmarks that I tossed last minute - they're currently en route to your address btw 😂
I cheated a bit on this exchange - this coaster design is a prototype (somewhat rejected style) of my actual coaster merch which will be available in my shop soon, so I didn't spend much time planning this gift. I was supposed to send you 6 of these but I ran out of brown clay, and my supplier can't restock them until next month 😅
These coasters are made of polymer clay and resin so they can handle cold or warm drinks (but not boiling hot or it'll melt the coat), and glow in the dark!

OoT Zelink fu**** me up...SO BAD. Then, Twilight Princess casually drenched my dead corpse in gasoline and lighted it on fire . I think that's why i am obsessed with BotW Zelink fluff... to cope with my OoT PTSD. OoT Zelink is so ******* tragic. Help Me.
Congrats on the 100!! for the 3 sentence prompts what about Link seeing a shooting star and makes a wish?
He Had Once Been Right
It starts as a flare of light halfway up in the southwestern sky, growing in width and brightness in the span of a second and striking somewhere south of Lake Hylia, and Link knows it’s precious, knows someone will retrieve it and sell it to the old woman in Kakariko for a high price or perhaps in exchange for rare potions—but Link himself does not move from the castle battlement; his place is here, more-than-half-cursed, his triple-pointed helmet a weight at once of remembrance, penance, and bitterness, for his fleeting wish (his selfish, impossible wish) if granted would destroy Hyrule in restoration of his beloved wife.
Throwback Thursday
This is my personal favorite 3-sentence fic I've ever written. (@linktheacehero, I thought you might like to know that!).

LINKTOBER 2022
DAY28 HORROR / FEAR : re
Brambles congrats!!! How about oot zelink staying up late?
Ask First
Link wouldn’t fall asleep—he would not—not with Sheik standing there looking so smug with those red eyes on him; that was definitely a smirk under that mask, and if Link wasn’t such a nice guy he’d have something snarky to say about it after this huge yawn.
“I’m going to win again,” Sheik said with even smirkier eyes—“that’s yawn seventeen and it’s only 3:51 am.”
Link made a face—“How the heck do you know it’s exactly- WHAT?!” Link cried as he watched a stone with a weeping eye rocket itself into the air, Sheik remaining unreasonably calm as it did; Link had to be dreaming (and had therefore already lost), so he shrugged, closed the distance between them, gently tugged that pesky mask down, and kissed Sheik—and got a nasty palm-strike to the chest: “YOU DON’T ASK FIRST?!”
----
Epilogue: “NO FLIRTING, NO WARNING, NO NOTHING?!” “I thought I was asleep!” “What, you only kiss in your sleep?” “Yes! NO!” “I’ve never had a boyfriend who wouldn’t kiss me while conscious.” “That’s not- wait, what?” “We’re still playing, by the way.”

[Thanks for the fun ask, Ace! 😄]
Oh come home now darling, the journey is done Your troubles are old for a body so young
Oh the earth will forget you, to the stars you are known And when this life’s over they’ll herald you home

(We'll be having a watch party for the Direct tomorrow, so now's a great time to jump in!!)
Happy (belated) holidays, @linksthoughtbrambles! I was your match for this year's Hestu's Gift Exchange!
The request was "A meeting in the afterlife. (Or the spirit realm, or between lives - however you'd like to interpret it!)"
When I saw this prompt, my mind whirred with the concept of OoT Link and Zelda finally reuniting after death, finally being able to play together as children, their spirits finally released from all the trauma and loss of innocence they'd dealt with in life. I always loved the BotW style "spirit aesthetic," so I had fun mixing some of that in with this piece. I hope you enjoy, and that the year to come is kickass for you~
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!!!!!!!!! I absolutely love this piece! It beautifully captures what I love about LoZ, Zelink, and the tragedy of OoT while also containing this wonderful reverence and hope. The gravemarkers... the spirits.... the lovely colors, the joy on their faces. Thank you so much!!!!!
believe it or not, there was a time in my life when this reveal blew my mind
