The Hero Of Hyrule

Visions

Sidon supposed that now that Link and he were officially aware of their love for one another things would be easier. It wasn't for either of them. Link was still Link and the constant worry that he was worthless and a horrible leader and hero was as present as before. His nightmares would still show the same heroes of his past always telling him the exact same thing. However he did the healthy thing this time around and tried to explain his feelings to Sidon instead of bottling them up and trying to forget them like before. A nice long talk with Sidon always had Link feeling a bit better than ever and made him more confident. Sidon was always good at making Link feel like a million rupees.

Sidon was beginning to doubt himself, however. Every time Link woke up in the middle of the night frantically looking out the window to stare up at the sky, every time Link would space out as Sidon read about a different Hero, every time Link would sit in his throne and look absolutely miserable or every time Link stare at the Master Sword with tears brimming his eyes, Sidon would be there. He would always help Link regain his confidence in himself as he'd offer up every single compliment he had. Sidon would always, without fail, lift Link's spirits. This is what scared the Zora Prince. Before they had officially begun planning the new ceremony of a Zora Prince offering gifts to his loved one, Sidon had confidence in himself that he could always make Link confident in himself. Now he began doubting that. What if one day when Link is feeling miserable he just can't lift the Hylian's Spirits? What if the compliments that leave his lips turn stale and Link is forever stuck in that pit of despair?

No. No that wouldn't happen. Sidon was sure of it. He had brought his problems to Link and Link immediately shot that down. No way Sidon would ever fail to make Link happy. The Hylian King made it very clear that Sidon was perhaps the one person that managed to keep him happy after so many discouraging events. But Sidon couldn't help but believe that maybe he was wrong. Maybe he would eventually lose his magic touch. When those thoughts began filling his head others joined in as well. What if Sidon wasn't the one meant for Link? What if it was perhaps Zelda? Hyrule's History has made it very clear that the Princess and the Knight are meant to be. Maybe Link is just too lonely to admit he doesn't love Sidon in that way. Maybe he doesn't want to lose a friend like that. Maybe Sidon doesn't deserve Link.

Those thoughts were disgusting and Sidon was disgusted with himself for thinking such horrible things but he couldn't help it. As he and Link would sit on the floor in the secret library, compiling a list of guests for the ceremony he couldn't help but think that Link didn't want this. After months of planning and preparation for the ceremony it was rapidly approaching and Sidon's doubt only grew. Just a week before the event he had enough.

"Excuse me," Sidon stopped a soldier strolling through the castle hallway, "I would like five- no, six. I would like six available members of the Royal Guard ready to escort me to the Faron Region. Make sure none of them are Zora and make sure all of them are very well prepared for possible lightning. Most importantly, if the King asks what it is that's going on simply tell him I'm leaving on business. No need to cause needless worry." The solider nodded and hurried off to find the needed Royal Guardsman that Sidon needed.

The Zora Prince admitted to himself that this was a bit reckless and dangerous but he needed answers and some kind of comfort. The Spring of Courage, where the Goddess of Courage stayed, was where he was heading. Why this specific spring to pray in? It was obvious, he had questions about Link and himself. Who better to ask than the Goddess responsible for Link's divine courage? Hopefully he would actually get some sort of answer as opposed to the silence he always received from the Goddess statue in the Zora's Domain.

He snuck into Link's room and quickly opened up his closet. Goddess, Link had so many outfits and accessories. Climbing outfit, fireproof outfit, his Vai outfit, Zora armor, some sort of dark outfit that had a mask of his face and so much more. Sidon didn't know anyone else that had as many clothes as Link. Finally after opening some small drawers Sidon found the topaz earrings he was looking for. It wouldn't protect him too much but it'd be good enough. He clipped the earrings to his neck jewelry (the closer to his head the better) and walked out. He was ready.
