The Calamity Ganon-an ancient evil which has plagued the Kingdom of Hyrule for a century-has fallen to the hands of the hero, Link, and the princess, Zelda. Though they...

Link slowly walked through the wooden architecture of Rito Village. He continued to walk, step after step, ramp after ramp, heading for Swallow's Roost. It was the only place she could be. It wasn't long before he had eventually reached the inn due to it being on the lower levels of the spiraling city, however it felt as though it had taken him an eternity to get there.
He stopped just ahead of the inn, contemplating if he should even bother. Multiple of Zelda's words, along with his own, that were thrown out in the heat of the moment replayed in his head. It had only happened the night before; however, thanks to the lack of sleep, that too also felt like it had happened a millennia ago. Even if it had been a night's worth of time between now and the argument before, Link couldn't help but remain frustrated. Sure, he felt bad for some of the things he said, but he wasn't going to allow Zelda to just run him over.
She truly believed he wouldn't think she made poor decisions after the boulder incident? What about when she had jumped in with the Guardian? Yes, she helped, but he had that under control! She could have gotten hurt. She may be able to assist with fighting a few Bokoblins, but other than that? No. There was no way she was qualified to handle anything more than a Bokoblin and maybe a pack of wolves. Link couldn't help but put a strong emphasis on the maybe.
And who was she to yell at him? For someone who claims to relinquish her title of princess, she sure did like acting like one. Sure, he didn't talk to her before he left, but he was in a rush! It allowed them to get two Divine Beasts done practically at the same time! It would have taken twice as long if not more if they had stayed together. Did she think he didn't know what he was doing after all this time in the wild by himself? And then to bring up Mipha! What nerve-
"Link? Liiiiiink? You alright there buddy?" a voice called out, snapping the warrior out of his continuous spiral of reasons as to why Zelda was wrong. Link shook his head for a moment before focusing in on the large Rito calling his name.
"What? What's up Verla?" Link asked as kind as possible, trying not to allow his frustration to bleed out. The large Rito was standing in his usual corner, built into the village wooden paths in front of the Swallow's Roost. Usually he was there to promote the inn, however this time he seemed to have an unusual interest in Link. Verla looked around a bit, before inching a bit closer as he leaned in closer to a Hylian's level as Link questioned why he had to do this.
"You looking for that blonde Hylian maiden?" Verla whispered, raising a feathered wing to his mouth as he asked. Link raised an eyebrow. This had only furthered his questions.
"Y-Yeah, actually. How'd you figure?" asked Link. Verla chuckled a bit nervously as he straightened himself, raising a wing to scratch the back of his head as he avoided the question. Link now furrowed both of his eyebrows. "What? What is it?"
"I dunno, Link," Verla said, turning in place to look at the entrance to the Swallow's Roost. "You guys just fought yesterday, and she seemed pretty distraught."
