The Heroes' Rebirth | BOTW Sequel/Zelink (The Legend of Zelda)

Part 2 - Chapter 12: Whispers

"Hi, hero," he said without looking up. "This is the Sun's Song. It's said to bring sunshine whenever played." He continued to strum the strings.

"Sheik, I need to get in there."

Sheik stopped playing and looked up. "Why?"

"Just let me in. Please."

Sheik stood up. "I can try, but she'll probably say no. Like always." In a puff of smoke he disappeared. About 15 seconds later Sheik returned in front of him. He shook his head.

"I'm sorry. She is resting." Sheik sat back down and continued to play.

"Resting from what?" Link asked.

"Hero, she doesn't want me to say. She's given me orders to say nothing. In time you will know. I have no doubt."

Link was getting annoyed. He had to get in.

He took a few steps back to the edge of the stairs, then ran with full force into the door and slammed it with his shoulder. It didn't budge.

Sheik shot up again. "Link! What on earth-"

Link ran into it again. This time the door gave a little. He was making progress.

He walked back to try again but Sheik grabbed his body before he could hit it.

"Link! What are you doing?"

"I told you I need to get in there!" Link broke free and slammed into the door again.

"Paya. Please let me in!"

Sheik grabbed Link again and pulled him away.

"You're acting crazy! Surely it can't be that-"

Link stomped on Sheik's foot, causing him to yelp in pain and release him. He ran into it again.

"Paya, please! I've heard Imp-"

Sheik yanked Link from the door and pinned him on the wall.

"Stop," he commanded.

"Sheik, please," Link pleaded.

"What is going on here?"

They both turned to see Zelda walking up the stairs with her travelers bow in her hand. Link had totally forgotten about their lesson.

Sheik let go of Link.

"Link is trying to break into the house."

"Wh- What?" she asked in disbelief.

"That's not entirely true," Link quickly corrected. "That voice was real, Zelda." He pointed to the top of the hill. "That time I thought I heard wind? It was a voice." He walked up to her. "It was Impa. She spoke to me."

"What did she say?" asked a very tired voice.

All three of them spun to the door that was creaking open. It slowly opened to reveal Paya. She was dressed like she normally was: dark blue shirt, cream pants and robe. But her face was extremely tired. Bags formed under her eyes and they were slightly bloodshot. Her white hair was let down, traveling down to the small of her back. Behind her on the floor were papers scattered all around with scepters and swords lining the ground.

"What did she say?" Paya repeated.

Link cautiously walked up to her.

"She said I need to go in there," he answered gesturing inside.

She looked behind herself, almost surveying the mess that was in the floor. She turned around and nodded.

"Ok. Come in."
