Golden Sand
Tumblr media
Princess Zelda of the Gerudo is the reincarnation of the Goddess of the Sand. Link of the Gerudo is the first Gerudo born in one hundred years after Ganondorf. On his eighteenth birthday, he is sent to Zelda to assess whether he is a threat. The consensus ?
He is a threat.
Read on AO3 here
Credit to the original artist for this beautiful art !!!
The Gerudo, who hail in the desert far to the West of the vast land of Hyrule, are a proud race of warrior women. They are known far and wide for their flaming red hair, strong, tanned bodies, and fierce fighting spirit. Although they are rather isolated, they are a powerful group, maintaining a flourishing civilization in the warm desert heat.
While Hylians revere the Great Three Goddesses Nayru, Din, and Farore, the Gerudo have their own beliefs. Since the founding of their civilization, they have worshiped the Spirit Goddess, also known as the Goddess of the Sand. According to their legends, the Spirit Goddess rose from the sand shortly after Hyrule was founded. She spread her arms, and sand followed her as she walked. Once she had created the desert, she used the sand to create the first Gerudo man and woman. She shaped them to handle the harsh heat, blowing her fierce spirit into them to make sure they never bowed down from a fight.
However, the male Gerudo used his newfound spirit to hurt his wife, barking orders at her and forcing her to obey his every will. Even while she was pregnant with their first child, he took every opportunity to strike her. The Spirit Goddess, infuriated at the violence by his own hand, struck him down and cursed him.
“You, who have dared to strike a woman,” she proclaimed. “One male will be born every hundred years as a curse. You will carry the fighting spirit I bestowed unto you, but it will be up to your heart to decide how to use it.”
Thus, Gerudo women began traveling to look for husbands to continue their lineage. It has become a known tradition, with many Hylian males willingly traveling to the desert to claim a Gerudo wife.
The Spirit Goddess, her spirit fading, summoned the first Gerudo woman.
“You, who I poured my soul and spirit into,” she whispered, voice weak. “I entrust my spirit to you. My spirit will continue to flow, and those who are born as my reincarnation will be destined to rule over my proud Gerudo.”
Henceforth, the Spirit Goddess’s spirit was passed on.
***
Princess Zelda of the Gerudo was born with hair as gold as the sand that surrounded her home. Her eyes were blue and clear as the sky above her, a difference from the traditional amber that Gerudo were born with. Although she had fair skin, over time she developed the trademark tan from her time spent in the sun. Her mother, the previous incarnation of the Spirit Goddess, had been gifted with foresight, and she had predicted that the spirit would move to her daughter at birth. She also foresaw that her daughter would be a generous ruler, but would face difficulties once she came to power.
Zelda was a shy child, often hiding behind her mother’s legs. She was trained in royalty, learning about diplomacy starting at the age of five. Her geography skills were impressive by six, and she was fluent in both Gerudo and Hylian by eight. At ten, she began attending events with her mother, socializing with other important figures from around Hyrule. She found the Royal Family especially fascinating, marveling at how everyone was in awe of them.
She wanted to emulate that.
At eighteen, Zelda became ruler of the Gerudo. Her mother stepped down, assuring her daughter that she would do well before departing to travel the world, as she had been unable to while ruling. It was a bittersweet farewell, but Zelda felt the confidence her mother had in her and used that to guide her.
It didn’t take long for the Gerudo to admire their new ruler. She was seen as loyal and passionate for her people, listening to their pleas and making decisions that benefited them all. It wasn’t uncommon to see her wandering through town, stopping in the market to buy local goods and even accepting dinner invitations from random citizens. Her first year was a triumphant one, and when her nineteenth birthday approached, she felt pleased with herself.
Being the reincarnation of the Spirit Goddess, Zelda was worshiped fiercely by the Gerudo in the Temple where she resided. Once a week, she was dressed in her ceremonial clothes, surrounded by women and incense as she listened for the Goddesses’s voice inside of her. Sometimes she delivered wisdom; other times predictions. The Goddess guided her as a ruler, providing insight when she could.
While the Gerudo were an isolated group, Zelda worked hard to be a liaison for the rest of Hyrule. She established a strong bond with the Hylian Royal Family, who relied on her for certain goods. The Gorons, hailing in Death Mountain far to the East, were permitted to enter to trade their precious stones. The desert heat was too harsh for the Zoras, but Zelda occasionally traveled to their domain in the Southeast to take an audience with their King. Even the Great Deku Tree and Koroks in the South spoke with Zelda, sending her their forest goods and childish joy. She relished those trips the most, enjoying the quiet of the forest and listening to the Tree’s wisdom.
Princess Zelda of the Gerudo, widely respected, did not know the trouble that was to come.

What if Link and Zelda got engaged pre-TotK? They get engaged at the Lover’s Pond and it’s a beautiful and magical moment.
They decide to have a small wedding in secret, with just their closest friends. They don’t want it to be a big thing for several reasons (don’t want to use their money for that when Hyrule still needs rebuilding, don’t want the attention to be put on a wedding instead of said rebuilding, don’t want Link to have the pressure of being king put on him yet, etc.)
They’re so excited. So happy. They pick out fancy clothes, they send the invitations, they decide what cake to serve and what songs to dance to.
The day is fast approaching. Then news comes that something is coming from under the castle. They go to investigate. Zelda falls. Link fails to catch her.
Imagine the devastation he feels when she disappears right before they were supposed to get married. Imagine how tears fill his eyes when he looks in their closet and sees the dress she never got to wear. Imagine the cake arriving and him leaving it to rot because she isn’t there to eat with him. Imagine him looking at the vows they never got to say, sitting on their table as if nothing is amiss. Imagine him looking at his ring and knowing its match is in the past with his beloved.
Imagine him sitting on the light dragon on the day they were supposed to wed. The day they thought would be the happiest of their lives. Imagine him sitting upon her head, running his hand through her mane as he sings the songs they never got to dance to.

Looking back, Skyward Sword turned me into, as the kids say these days, “Zelink trash for life”. The scene of the big reveal regarding Zelda’s connection to the goddess Hylia and her subsequent sacrifice to contain the Imprisoned, followed by Link’s reaction to seeing her sealing herself away… it all just hit me with the right amount of emotional torque.
Add that the revelations of that game retroactively added a potential dash of both “reincarnated romance” and “soulmates destined to meet by fate” to their relationship to make it more interesting/spicy.
Of course, I’m also realistic and objective enough to recognize that:
Nintendo is never going to explicitly confirm any romantic relationship between Link and Zelda (even Skyward Sword doesn’t explicitly confirm they are actually in love with each other, even if it comes within spitting distance of outright stating it).
Every Link and Zelda are clearly their own individuals and the relationship between them doesn’t necessarily imply romance in every game. Indeed, only a handful of games even hint at the possibility of any romantic affection between them.
In that sense, I see little point in treating them as “my OTP whose sanctity I will defend on a hill” (like say, the way I treat NaruHina) and even less reason for getting involved into any shipping argument related to them, especially as Link is also one of the few characters in fiction that I multi-ship.
Indeed, I think any shipping war involving the Zelda franchise is an even bigger waste of time than your usual shipping war, given that as I said above, Nintendo is just never going to make anything explicitly canon.
So, ultimately, what I mean to say is: I just think Zelink is very neat, and I certainly like them more than other Nintendo related ships, which is why I reblog them a lot, but I’m not interested in participating in any kind of online drama regarding it.

Imagine with me for a moment
Characters that were close to Zelda, (Link, Tulin, Teba, Sidon, Yunobo, Riju, Impa, etc.) visiting her in her dragon form just ..keeping her company. Talking to her. Telling her stories. Comforting her. Just being with her after she had been all alone in solitude for so long, they finally found her and they just refuse to let her be alone. Bye I’m gonna cry now. ☹️
(I imagine Teba flying alongside with her and telling her that this wasn’t what he had in mind when he said he would take her flying with him one day. Stoic bird dad is devastated and wants his daughter back pls. ALSKDKDJ I’m sorry ☹️)
(I may draw this out.. forgive me.)
