Breath of Another World (BOTW Link x Reader)

While it lasts

(I have returned from the tent!!!!! This chapter is slightly shorter than normal, which I apologise for. But hopefully it's still enjoyable.

Also, don't forget to leave any questions for the Q&A in the comments! I love y'all! Now enjoy!)

"Irch Plain?"

"Yeah that's what Pikango said," Link confirmed, but he was looking at his Sheikah Slate in slight confusion, his hand holding the back of his neck as he chewed his lip "The princess took pictures in the strangest locations, huh?"

"I'll say." I muttered while placing a saddle over Pan's back, since I had just finished giving him a brush down "I'm sure she had a reason, though...  I doubt she would've kept them saved if she didn't."

"Yeah, I guess that's true..." the boy sighed as he looked up from the screen momentarily, simply to scratch Epona under the chin "Well as well as that, apparently Pikango also saw a Rito with an accordion heading towards Serenne Stable, and said that was probably Kass."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah, and since Kass travels a lot, like Harth said, he might give us a better idea on where the sword of legend is. That could give us a clearer choice of where to head next. Better feeding two birds with one scone, right?"

"That's pretty logical actually- wait, what?" I stared at Link with narrowed eyes "Don't you mean killing two birds with one stone?"

"No, I detest violence."

"It... it's just a saying. You aren't killing anything."

"I know but still."

"And you sliced a bokoblin like an onion earlier, so clearly you aren't as against it as you think."

"And clearly you like making arguments over the tiniest things."

"Oof, you got me there."

Link chuckled with a roll of his eyes, and reattached the Slate to his belt "But anyway, I was thinking we should head to the Beast closest to the Lost Woods - wherever that might be. Kass might be able to tell us more about the spear of the golden goddesses, too."

I hummed with a small nod before hoisting myself onto my mount, Link following suit "Well then we better get a move on, it'll be harder to find that photo location in the dark. Plus, we don't know how long Kass will stay in one place."

Link didn't answer straight away, which had me calling him in confusion. He snapped his head up and laughed nervously "S-Sorry, yeah!"

I raised an eyebrow "You doing okay?"

"Yeah, sorry..." he sighed and pointed to the spot on Epona, just behind him "It's just that I got so used to us sharing a horse, it's kinda weird seeing you on your own. Not that it's a bad thing, I'm glad you have a horse now."

I hummed and glanced down at my reigns. Honestly, I could relate; not riding with someone did take some getting used to when I was travelling with Sanela and Damia. "I see... well, at least now I won't have the fear of you randomly tickling me."

Link smirked "Don't underestimate me, I have my ways."

I yelped when I saw his hand reaching for me, and quickly urged Pan to trot on to escape his assault. The boy laughed and urged Epona to follow, pulling her reigns only slightly so she met my mount's speed. The two of us rode in comfortable silence, simply enjoying what nature had to offer as our horses calmly followed the path. Being a city girl in my world, I was rarely able to enjoy the beauty of the countryside, and even when I could it was nothing compared to Hyrule's magnificence...
