Link

I sat on the edge of Lake Hylia while using my fishing rod with my little fairies joining me, Epona behind us a few feet away, and Volvagia next to me. Volvagia is the baby dragon I had for several weeks and he's already getting bigger, taller than me but still cute and mine

"Why cam't we catch a fish?" Tael was getting impatient. I chuckled and stared at my fairies. I have noticed for a long time that these two were growing, it happened when I had that dream about splitting into four personalities, well... Three. I don't remember doing anything as the forth one. I remember dreaming about being happy for the most part, that's how I know it was all a dream. To think Hylia and Zelda were born royalty. How would I miss that? And the other three dreams were more realistic though. I hugged Zelda, kissed her hand, and showed off my skills at outdoor class with Navy and Lana before my pieces came together and all dropped the sword at the same time to become one again

"You have to be patient" I chuckled

"I want eeekfish" Tatl said. Reekfish is what she was trying to say

"We can't find those here you know?"

"Can we go amd fimd some?" Tael asked. I made a face

"That would mean going up to Zora's domain"

"What's wong with that?" Tatl asked. I sighed and ran my hand in my hair

"There's a princess there that thinks I'm her fiancée because I saved her little brother" she was too clingy and a little annoying. Thinking I did it to make her notice me. No, I was just on my search for something but rescuing someone was just doing the right thing. Just because I did a lot of crazy things means nothing

"Oh?" I chuckled and pet her head

"Say, did you two get bigger?" I finally asked. They looked at each other before smiling at me

"You found yah wisdom fo a shoat moment! We aa vewy poud of you!" I flinched and looked away. Found my wisdom? Please, that's never gonna happen. I would like to see a day where I wouldn't be this crazy guy and have a normal life and mind

"It's nice to hope" I sighed and looked at the back of my hand "I wish I can actually be myself... I wish I didn't have this memory block, I wish I can go back in time and fix everything..." I took out my ocarina and started crying before putting it on my lips, but I can't get myself to play the song that will warp me back in time... I could never do it

"Keep a open mind" Zelda's voice echoed in my head. I smiled and looked down at my dragon sleeping next to me

"Right... Keep a open mind" I sighed and looked at Tael's Rod being pulled by the string "Tael! You got a bite!" Tael gasped and started pulling on his Rod, but ended up flying towards the water. I quickly grabbed his body and pulled him back "whoa! It's a big one!" I laughed

"Get it! Get it!" Tatl cheered. I kept my feet steady and pulled on Tael as much as I could. I would be a perfect time to put on the iron boots

"Don't let go!" I yelled. Tael's body suddenly went flying into the water "whoa!" I gasped and saw a body of a Zora laughing into the air and catch Tael. I glared and crossed my arms as two familiar Zora's were tossing Tael around like he was some ball

"I don't appreciate you guys doing that" I tapped my feet. The Zoras laughed and swam over to us to hand back Tael just laughing with his sister

"Sorry Link!" Prince Ralis giggled "we meant no harm!" I sighed and smiled

"It's fine I guess, as long as no one's hurt" Princess Ruto swam over to hug me. I groaned

"Hello there my loving fiancée! How long are you going to keep me waiting for our wedding?" I could hear my fairies giggling

"Ruto, I already told you I can't be your husband. And even if that would happen, which it won't, I will never be worthy"

"Why?" Ralis swam over "you saved our domain, I think you're worthy" I frowned and looked down

"It's not that simple. Look, I'm not worthy to be close to anyone. I told you guys to not come near me in the open" the siblings looked at each other "anyways, how's the queen?" Ruto closed her eyes and looked away

"She died two weeks ago" Ralis frowned. I frowned and looked at Ruto searching for something behind her and showed me her mother's crown before putting it on "I am now Queen Ruto"

"I'm so sorry..." She sad smiled "I didn't know... Is it alright if I may pay my respects"

"Of course... She was buried with our father in the Kakariko Village graveyard"

"Of course" I looked at my fairies "Hey, how about you both go home. I'll have Epona take you" I looked at my growing dragon just staring at me "you go home too, okay? Make sure you go unnoticed and don't cause trouble" he nodded and flew off after I helped my fairies on Epona "will you be alright?" I asked them

"Dom't worry! We're fairies!" Tael cheered. I smiled and lightly patted Epona to get a move on. I sighed and dug in my bag to take out the Zora Armor

"You have everything in that bag!" Ralis said. I chuckled as I started putting it on

"Yeah well, my bag and pouches is enchanted to fit anything I want" how do you think I'm able to carry so much stuff to sell? I finished putting on the armor and jumped into the water. The material of this thing was always strange to me. It was made of scales, which made it possible to breath underwater

Ruto giggled and hugged me happily. I rolled my eyes and dived down with Ralis. Like I said before, this girl is too clingy. Even if she's now a queen

It's so sad to hear that Queen Rutela had passed away. I never even knew this, I wish I was there to pay my respects and meet everyone, but I'll do that now so I hope she forgives me. She was very nice and beautiful, much like Hylia

"Don't feel bad Link" Ruto said "mother was sick, there was nothing we could had done" I frowned and looked down. Sickness isn't a word I believe in when it comes to death. It'll always comes back towards Dink, but I'm sure he doesn't know about my relationship with the Zoras, or even Gorons! Or anyone else around Hyrule that I come see when I travel around, right? 

I nodded in response and it took us awhile to swim towards the underwater cavern behind the Kakariko Village graveyard. We swam up the shore and got on land, standing in front of a grave stone in front of us. I took off my hat and bowed my head

"It's hard to believe it's been two weeks already..." Ralis frowned. Ruto pet his head

"It's okay little bro" she smiled and looked up at me "say Link... We have to go"

"I understand... I'll stay here. Thanks for bringing me" I smiled. Ruto kissed my cheek and swam off with Ralis. I sighed and sat down in front of the grave "so... This really happened. You seemed fine the last time I saw you, I'm sorry I didn't get the chance to say goodbye properly" I looked down "and I'm afraid that's going to keep happening if I get too close to others. I kinda blame myself for your death" I ran my hand in my hair "Dink has to be the reason for this, he never wants me to be happy. I can't be close to anyone without having them get hurt. I'm so sorry..." Someone held my cheek. I looked up quickly and saw the face of Queen Rutela smiling down at me "Q-Queen Rutela..!?" I gasped and looked at my surroundings. We were in the silent realm

"Young Link, you blame yourself for my death?" I frowned and looked down, but she lifted my chin up "do not look down at a Queen, do you do the same to Hylia?" I didn't respond "you are not to blame Link... I have been sick before I met you"

"Y-you have..?" She nodded and floated to the water. I stood up and stared at her "Dink didn't harm you?"

"Worrying about what your brother does isn't healthy Link, you must face your fear" I shook my head

"No way... It's safer for everyone if I just remain myself. Away from others and staying alone" I frowned at the life I had

"When was the last time you seen Hylia, Link?" I thought for a moment

"Um... Three weeks ago, about. I met her at school in the silent realm at school in some weird room" I smiled "she told me I had to find my wisdom from my friends and courage by, basically my actions" I sighed "it's so sad... Not even she can convince me I'm some legendary hero. The spirit of lights can't even do so, who are they trying to fool?"

"Link, does it accrue to you that you don't believe anyone because you don't believe you can do great things..? You saved our people, Link, and you still can't see it?" I shook my head and whipped away my tears "well, the wise words of Hylia stuck to you, did they not?"

"Yes... She's as important to me as Zelda and everyone else is. There's people that want to be my friend but I just push them away"

"You said you last seen Hylia three weeks ago, did you not?" I nodded

"Yes your majesty" she smiled and closed her eyes

"Queen Hylia of Hyrule has been dead for 4 years Link" my heart dropped. I could feel tears streaming my face and boogers running down my nose

"N-no..." I took a step back, stunned "t-that can't be possible! I just saw her! She looked well and alive!"

"The silent realm Link, it's the place where the hero's mind will be in and tested... You've been here many times, have you? How many times?"

"Well... M-my mom, Hylia, and you... Brought me here" she smiled. T-this can't be happening

"She died from sickness just as I" I pulled on my hair hard. W-why?! N-no! No! She couldn't have died! If she died, that meant Zelda was alone... And I wasn't even here to comfort her or say my proper goodbye to Hylia... Oh goddess... "You don't blame yourself for this either Link"

"B-but!" She shook her head

"No, listen to me" she held my cheek. She's dead but I can feel her... "Power is a force you have upon your body... Wisdom is the open mind of a believer, and courage is the actions you make to do what can be possible... You have seen the silent realm, but you still couldn't see what was in front of you" I looked at the fated Triforce on my hand and started shaking more than I could. I felt myself going crazy... Crazy... "what your memory holds is blocked. A seal, that is what's keeping you from believing. Tell me, what do you want to see?"

"I-I want to see a happy future. That's the only time I would like looking forward. I want to be happy with friends and actually protect them" tears kept falling like a waterfall, they will not stop

"You want to protect them" I nodded "that is what's in your heart"

"That's what's in a dream..."

"Dreams may come true. I have told you enough. Go look for Hylia's resting spot... She will help you much more than I" I nodded rapidly.

"and Link... you're mother..?" She looked at me confused "since... When you had a mother?" I took a step back

"My mother..." I chuckled heartlessly "she's..." I found myself falling forward and into the water, where Ben was sitting on the very bottom, just staring at me. My mother..? She... She...
