Link x Reader: The Dawn of Darkness Part 4

As you and Link enter the bazaar, you look around. "There's always so many people here," you commentate.

Link hummed in agreement.

You ask, "So, wait, where are you going?"

Link uttered a response, "I don't know... Should we go to the castle?"

You nod, "I've heard that Princess Zelda is very much The People's Princess. She sounds really nice," you smile, "Maybe she could offer us advice," you suggest.

Link looks at you and nods, pointing through the crowd of people. "The castle is that way, I think," he states. The two of you walk through the large group of people, getting shoved around by them.

"They're so rude," you complain with a groan.

Every so often, someone in the crowd would yell at you or Link, saying things such as "Get out of the way," "Stop shoving," "Don't touch me," all typical complaints that you could expect to get while moving through a sea of people. Eventually, Link gets pushed to the edge of the swarm, and, finally, gets pushed out of the group entirely, falling flat on his face, yourself following shortly afterwards. Sitting up next to you, Link rubs his nose, which is now grazed. You stand up and dust your skort (note: a skort is basically a skirt combined with pants. Google it if you don't know) off, grumbling about the crowd. Link also stands up and motions for you to follow him, so you do.

After you walk away from the crowd, you follow a path and come to a dead end, a large gate blocking your way.

You walked up to a nearby guard to ask him to let you through but before you can, he shouts that "You're not allowed in this area," and to "Go away."

Link pulls you back to the corner and points at a ladder standing up against the wall before climbing up it. You climb up after him, and are now on a higher level (well, duh). Looking down at the guard, you walk along the hill and past the gate. You and Link search around for a way to get down, but fail to find one.

Link shrugs and says, "We'll just have to jump down, I suppose."

You lazily reply, "Alrighty."

Not seeing the need to have a running start, Link casually walks over to the edge and hops down. Peering down, you see that he lands with his knees bent, and almost immediately went into a roll. You assume that it's a 15 feet fall. Looking back at Link, you notice that he's standing up and is now looking at you, waiting. You walk up to the edge and jump off, mimicking Link's actions. After standing up looking over at Link, you notice he's about to walk around the corner.

You hiss his name, and he looks at you. Quickly moving over to him, you peer around the corner and spot a guard. Pointing at him, you turn back to Link, who now has a sheepish grin painted on his face. You facepalm and drag Link up the nearby slope. Link, who has apparently finally started using his eyes, points at a few nearby guards. The two of you scampered across the field, narrowly avoiding the gazes of them. You both arrive at a raised bit of land. Looking around, you spot a ladder nearby, so you push Link over to it and wave your hands at him in a way that motions him to go up, "Shoo," you mutter. Link sticks his tongue out at you before turning and climbing up.

When he gets his head to the top, he sticks it up so that just his eyes are above the ground. He peers around before climbing up further and finally crawling onto the new level. You raise an eyebrow at the sight before climbing up after him, only to be greeted by him, still creeping around on the ground. Pulling yourself up, you sigh. "You look like a spider," you say, holding back the urge to laugh. He snaps his head back at you, "Good," he says, before scuttling away. You slowly follow after him, unsure of whether you should be concerned or not. As you turn the next corner, you notice that he's disappeared out of sight. You walk along the path, and soon see him floating in the water, face down. Alarmed, your eyes open wide in shock. You run over to him, on the verge of tears. "...Link?" You whisper, gripping his shoulders, about to pull him out.

Suddenly, much to your surprise, he flies out of the water, grabs you by the wrist, and pulls you in. "Dammit, Link! What the hell?!" You shriek at him, as he begins laughing hysterically. You glare at him and splash water in his face. "Your reaction! HAH!" He continues laughing, falling down in the water. "Well I'm sorry for caring about you," you sulk. "It's ok," Link teases again, causing you to pout. He begins to haul himself out of the water. After he gets himself out, he offers his hand to you. You take it, and he pulls you out of the water. Looking around, you ask him, "Oh yeah, by the way, where are we?" He looks at you gives you a nonchalant reply, "No idea."
