Well, this is my first story published on Fanfiction for Legend of Zelda. Seeing the Thank You Notes from Jimmy Fallon gave me the idea to write thank you notes for videogame characters. I've done one for Kingdom Hearts and it was well received. Okay, now that the long explanation is over, here's the first series of thank you notes with Link from Twilight Princess. I just hope it goes well…
Update: 6-16-2017: Now that this fics is about six years old, I decided to update it and make it more like a story. So, after adventuring, being defeated or anything that pertains to the original storylines, the many characters in this fic will give their "thank you notes".
So, once again, I own nothing in all this…with the exception of Bob and Bob Junior.

Thank You Notes: Link (Twilight Princess)
Coming into a darkened room after nearly finishing his adventures, Link, Hero Chosen by the Gods, quietly stepped forward, using whatever refined senses he had to locate a light source. To his surprise, the lights turned on and he yelped in astonishment. A dark-skinned man sat at a piano and a large audience of his fellow Hyruleans sat in what looked like a riser near what was a stage. He also noticed several people that looked like Hylians…but something was off.
"Yay! Woo! I love you Link!" many of the female…"fans" cheered.
"What the…? What's going on?" Link asked.
"Oh good! You made it!" his good friend, Ilia, said.
"Ilia? H-How did you…?" Link started.
Ilia smiled and replied with, "I was invited to come here…This guy, said he was from a place called Nintendo, appeared and opened this portal. He also said I should write something called 'thank you notes'."
Link had the same thing happen to him and said nothing.
"Ladies and gentlemen, here's Link and his thank you notes," Ilia announced.
"Thank you…Ilia,
For officially becoming something called a 'Mary Sue' and bring division among the fans. No idea what that means, but I'm sure isn't not good.
Sincerely,
Link, Hero Chosen by the Gods"
*"Link, how could you? I thought you liked me," Ilia huffed.
"Well, yeah I do. But then after you gave me that horse call so late in my adventure when it could've been useful earlier…" Link said.
"Well, I had amnesia! I would've given it to you sooner!" Ilia said, folding her arms and looking away.*
"Thank you…Colin,
For being utterly shy and then being somewhat outgoing later. Seriously, I thought that you were gonna become an emotional wreck or something after what happened with King Bulbin…But everything turned out alright! Right?
Sincerely,
Link, Hero Chosen by the Gods"
"Thank you…Beth,
For staring at King Bulbin when he was barreling down the street on his oversized pig and making Colin push you out of the way. You could've moved and saved me a lot of trouble and him not getting put into a coma, y'know.
Sincerely,
Link, Hero Chosen by the Gods"
"Thank you…Midna,
For hitting me in the head every time I wanted to dig for some treasure in my wolf form. And you wonder why I didn't share my Cucco omelet with you…
Sincerely,
Link, Hero Chosen by the Gods"
*"Well it was 'cause you were taking too long to get to the Arbiter Grounds. It was too hot for digging!" Midna yelled, suddenly appearing from Link's shadow and causing Ilia to scream.
"What is that?" she yelled.
Link sheepishly said, introducing the two, "Uh, this is awkward. Midna, Ilia. Ilia, Midna."*
"Thank you…Zant,
For being a complete power-hungry psycho. That's all I got.
Sincerely,
Link, Hero Chosen by the Gods"
"Thank you…Ganondorf,
Or should I say…'Ganondork', as the fans would put it? Seriously, who has the last name of 'DRAGmire'? Makes ya sound like you dress in drags on your off days…
Sincerely,
Link, Hero Chosen by the Gods"
*"You know that Ganondorf's going to get you for that," Midna told Link.
"Eh…" Link shrugged.
"I heard he's called the 'King of Disrespect'," Ilia added.
"Eh, whatever. Because of him, my life practically turned upside down…" Link said, glowering.*
"Thank you…Princess Zelda,
For not getting kidnapped but effectively letting the Kingdom go into ruin within a day. How was that possible? I haven't a clue.
Sincerely,
Link, Hero Chosen by the Gods"
*"Link how dare you? I had a reason for that!" Princess Zelda yelled, appearing from a pillar of light.
"But it's true," Midna mumbled.
"Wait, how did you get here?" Link asked, just noticing her.*
"Thank you…my wolf form,
For releasing my inner animal but effectively giving me fleas and ticks…
Sincerely,
Link, Hero Chosen by the Gods"
"Thank you…frozen river at Snowpeak,
For not having any warning signs near you and freezing me near death when I jumped in you, thinking I could swim across.
Sincerely,
Link, Hero Chosen by the Gods"
"Thank you…people called 'players' who love to see me plummet to my death,
For killing me not once, twice, or three times, but over ten times. Do you all have a vendetta against me? What did I ever do to you? I'm just a simple farm boy who was unwillingly thrusted into the Hero role. Cut me some slack, will ya?
Sincerely,
Link, Hero Chosen by the Gods"
"Thank you…Death Mountain,
For being the most dangerous place in all of Hyrule, behind the Arbiter Grounds, of course. Those two hours of running away from angry, rolling Gorons in terror, fighting said Gorons, getting punched in the face every time I tried and having molten lava rocks zero in on me while climbing did a great job in reminding me that I'm a screwed man…
Sincerely,
Link, Hero Chosen by the Gods"
"Thank you…Ordon Goats,
For running me over the instant I came into the ranch in my wolf form. I was just trying to say hi! And you wonder why you didn't get fed the next morning…
Sincerely,
Link, Hero Chosen by the Gods"
"Thank you…people called my 'fans',
For effectively making me one of the most epic and famous characters to ever come out of media called 'videogames'. If I hadn't met that guy from Nintendo, I wouldn't have any idea what videogames were. So, thanks.
Sincerely,
Link, Hero Chosen by the Gods"
"Thank you…my 'fangirls' in Hyrule Castle Town,
For stalking me everywhere I go, squealing every time I say 'hi' and putting hundreds of love letters in my mailbox at home. And I thought Cloud Strife's fangirls were creepy…
Sincerely,
Link, Hero Chosen by the Gods"
*"Wait, who's Cloud Strife?" Ilia asked.
"Do you remember that wandering swordsman that came into Ordon with the blonde, spikey hair and the giant sword that looked way too heavy to wield?" Link asked.
Ilia nodded and Midna muttered, "He looked like a blond cactus."
"I thought he looked like those giant, yellow birds called 'Chocobos'," Princess Zelda murmured.*
"Thank you…Sir Bob the pianist from places unknown,
For not making my thank you note music as sad as others I know (I'm talking to you Roxas!).
Sincerely,
Link, Hero Chosen by the Gods"
*"Um, who's Roxas? I don't believe a 'Roxas' even exist in Hyrule," Princess Zelda asked.
"I met Roxas during my travels because of Sir Bob," Link said, pointing at Bob.*
"Thank you…water,
For not letting me drink you unless you're hot water.
Sincerely,
Link, Hero Chosen by the Gods"
"Thank you...my beer bottle collection in my basement,
I know I never got around to making that epic knight's statue with beer bottles, but look at how much I drink!
Sincerely,
Link, Hero Chosen by the Gods"
"Thank you…those ReDead I saw in Arbiter Grounds,
For effectively scaring the crud out of many a person and me and effectively made me wet my pants in terror. I hate you guys…
Sincerely,
Link, Hero of Chosen by the Gods"
"Thank you…man from Nintendo who found me right after I left the Realm of Twilight,
For practically kidnapping whilst I was in the middle of saving the world and making me write these thank you notes in order to go back home.
Sincerely,
Link, Hero Chosen by the Gods"
Okay, that's TP Link and his thank you notes. Midna's next with hers so any ideas are appreciated.
