Hero of Hyrule, With a Twist!

Ok, so keeping this brief.

First 'Legend of Zelda' themed fanfic I have worked on. Hope all of you enjoy it, and I should preface, this fanfic is based on Breath of The Wild, but with alterations, as you will soon see.

In any event, I do not claim nor intend to claim in any way ownership over The Legend of Zelda or any of its characters and locations. All rights go to Nintendo and their affiliates.

Link sincerely wished that he could take a day off without wearing his tunic and mail every so often, the goddess-damned thing chaffed something awful in the humid months. But at least Link was back in his castle quarters.

Link stifled a chuckle, 'his' castle quarters, if only. Unlatching the Master Sword and setting it down gently, Link proceeded to unfasten and then chuck into the corner the leather gauntlets that protected 'his' hands when wielding the fabled blade.

Pulling off his Tunic next, the only piece left up top, so anyone would think, was the shirt of what the uninformed would call 'chainmail', but was just properly called 'Mail'. Pulling it over 'his' head, Link huffed as the greatest weight was taken off, and then undid the bindings wrapped around the upper half of 'his' own chest.

And it was at the exact moment that Link had taken off what the Gerudo tribe had taken to calling a 'sarashi' that Link heard a sudden and all too unexpected knock at her door.

And yes, her. For Link, to all outward appearances at first glance was exceedingly female when topless, as the Princess of Hyrule herself found out all too clearly once she came into the room after knocking, and was suddenly greeted by the unobstructed sight of Link's ample bosom.

So shocked was Zelda by this, that her Majesty suddenly found herself in a fainting spell.

"Oh Goddesses no" Link said a mere moment before Zelda hit the floor, Link's superior reflexes allowing her to catch Zelda just in time.

She gently eased Zelda onto her bed and retied her sarashi back on, at least for modesties sake.

"How in Hylia's name am I going to explain this? 'Oh hi princess, turns out, not only am I mostly a girl, but I have breasts almost as big as my head!' Oh yeah, that'll go over fabulously' silently grumbled the protector of the princess as she patiently waited for the golden haired beauty to awaken, fighting back temptation to stroke her face with the back of her hand.

Zelda coo'ed in her sleep, making Link contentedly sigh, sitting and watching her beloved Princess. 'She might never want to see or speak to me again, but she deserves the truth… I just hope she's willing to take it.'

When Zelda did wake up, Link could barely look at her out of embarrassment.

Sitting up and struggling to find the words, the future soverign of Hyrule managed to stutter out "L-link... y-you're a girl?"

Zelda looked at the busty Hylian sitting in the chair beside the bed, to which she saw Link bite his, no, her lower lip. "Mostly... it's kinda complicated" she said with her true voice. Zelda was surprised to hear the voice, soft as a fairy's wing-beats compared to the gruffer tone Link had used up to now.

"Complicated? How is it complicated?" Zelda said tilting her head.

Link shuffled uncomfortably in her seat, deciding after a moment to just lay it all out. Sliding her pants down just enough to show the small bulge in her tights, she explained, "I was born with both sets of genitals, but I was raised as a boy..." Link paused, taking a steadying breath, Zelda noticing more and more how truly gentle Link's voice sounded, and how much she was trying to hold back what were doubtlessly a whirlwind of emotions.

"My parents had the local priestess come to give me her blessing, just like every other child when I was born, but she said that I was... special, and not just physically" Link said showing the birthmark on the back of her left hand, the mark of the triforce of courage, the same mark that every bearer of it bore at some point.

"My parents didn't force me to be a boy, but, since the legendary hero was always a boy... I felt I had to be one too in order to live up to all of the other heroes that bore the same power. So... I acted like the boys and trained with them." Zelda nodded, and then blushed as Link showed her the faint outline of what her tights contained, and indeed, there was the sillouette of both sets of genitals, just as Zelda had seen in medical tomes in the castle library. Link was unable to look her in the eye, muttering apologies as she straightend upright.

Zelda's face was red as a blood ruppe, but she paid attention as Link told her the truth, the emerald clad Hylian pulling up her pants and fastening the leather belt, Zelda trying her best not to ogle Link's body as she held her enchanted mail shirt and blue tunic top in her hands, her upper body only covered by her warriors sarashi and the handful of scars from a life of training and combat.

"But once my breasts started to grow, it got harder to hide my dual nature, until I had my mail shirt enchanted to help hide it. Impa said that one of the former Princesses of Hyrule used a similar pair of enchanted clothes to pass as a man, so I asked to do the same. The enchantment makes a magic pocket inside to make my chest look and feel flat as long as I am wearing it, even if someone touched my chest they wouldn't know as long as it was on" Link explained as she showed Zelda the inside of the mail shirt, the intricate metal rings lined on the backside with a large piece of leather padding with a Sheikah mark burned into the leather.

"But, why hide it from me?" Zelda asked, testing the waters. Clearly Link was embarassed about her finding out, or maybe about the subject entirely, but she also seemed to trust Zelda enough to explain all of this.

"No offense your highness, but I don't trust this secret to just anyone. My parents told me that those like me in the Castle wouldn't be understanding of it, see it as a perversion, a blasphemy against the goddesses, though I am glad that at least with you... that seems to be untrue." Link said as she shook her head as if to untangle her mind, gathering her hair with her hands.

"So... what now?" Link asked as she pulled her ponytail back into place, her dark blonde bangs and sidelocks framing her gentle features quite nicely.

Zelda sat and thought for a moment, before standing and looking face to face with Link, the tall Hylian locking eyes with the princess, before Zelda suddenly placed a single kiss on Link's cheek.

"Now, you shall continue to protect me as you have been, along with myself helping you live as the beautiful woman you are" Zelda said as she grabbed Link's tunic, but not her enchanted mail shirt, pulling it over the taller woman's head and down, smoothing it out, the tunic's length compensating for how Link's bust filled it out quite nicely, leaving her modestly covered yet obviously feminine.

"From this day forth, Link, Heroine of Hyrule is my official royal protector... and" Zelda paused as she laced her fingers together with the beautiful warrior, "as my girlfriend, that is, if you'll have me."

From those pure, crystal blue eyes fell tears. Zelda was about to ask what was wrong, but was immediately silenced by Link pulling her into a searing kiss directly on the lips.

The two were pressed together, as close as their clothes would allow... Zelda's royal bust pressed against Link's heroic bosom, both of their hearts pounding with unknown desire filling them both.

After the kiss ended, Link smiled and said once more in that soft voice, "Zelda, I would be honored to be your girlfriend."
