My silly little Zelda headcannons

teehee here's another one while I procrastinate something that's due tomorrow ✌️😭

Sorry if not every Zelda is listed, I just did the most major ones

Skyward Sword

✧She LOVES to do fiber crafts, but her absolute favourite is embroidery and she's very good at it

✧She met link when she was young so I hc that she embroidered all the little details on Link's clothes for him as a gift for his birthday each year.

✧And also that after the events of SS, she and link started dating and when they grew old and had children, she became the 'elder'/leader of skyloft.

Ocarina of Time

✧After sending Link back to the past to relive his childhood, she told the tale about the hero of time to her people, made statues and stained glass windows of him in his honour but she never ever told anyone else any more details than the surface level information. Except for her children and descendants when she felt that they were at an age where they wouldn't treat her words as if they were just some story she made up.

For this one, I imagined her telling one of her children about the hero of time and how she helped him and her child just went "nu-uh you're making that up" and then she just decided not to tell her children more about the literal hero of legend she helped to her children when they're like 7 for a bedtime story

✧"Sheik" was an alter ego she made to hide from Ganondorf, yes.

✧BUT

✧It was also a nickname that Impa called her during her training and called her in private

Twilight Princess

✧Most beautiful eyeliner in Hyrule 100%

✧When she got possessed by Ganondorf, you know when people say that they had an out of body experience and they observe their own body doing things from an outside perspective? That.

Wind Waker

✧She has more 'refined' and 'regal' clothing passed down by her mother, but chooses to just wear her normal pirate outfit because she doesn't want her fancy clothing to get damaged by the normal to-dos of being a pirate captain

✧Ganondorf explained her role in this world as the holder of the triforce of wisdom and tbh she did NOT like it one bit

✧Why can't she just sail the ocean in peace??

✧But I guess being a princess is nice? It's no different from being a pirate captain in her eyes

✧The cannon she fires Link out of, she has 100% fired ALL of her crew out of it at one point

Breath of the Wild

No totk for this one sorry lol

✧She secretly resents her dad. All he seems to do is pressure her all the time and scold her for wanting to know more about the sheikah tech

✧She sees Mipha as her best friend and they have sleepovers when either of them don't have anything to do (which tbh is literally once in a blue moon)

✧Has literally tried EVERYTHING to get her powers to work

✧doesn't listen to advice about unlocking her powers after being told she had to drink the water of the spring of power once as a prank and she actually did it thinking that it would unlock her powers, but it didn't and she just drank dirty spring water 🤮🤮

Ok so idea, OoT Link was TP Link's mentor, and many head cannon that TP Link was BotW Links mentor, so I propose that SS Link was OoT Link's mentor. This isn't that new of an idea, however in OoT the Master Sword placed Link's body in a stasis for several years as he was deemed too young to wield the sword and face Ganondorf, most people write it as he didn't mentally age despite physically aging in the Sacred Realm. I propose that the Master Sword (Aka Fi) sent him back in time to Skyward Sword Link so he could be mentored, age, mature, and improve his skills. SS Link has experience with time travel shenanigans, a Zelda that keeps all the cards against her chest until the last minute, magical instruments, and discovering the world is far bigger than you could ever imagine. OoT Link would get some parental figures older than an eternally 11 year old, some real sword lessons, and learn how to handle the mess life throws at you when you are the chosen one. SS Link would get knowledge that Demise's curse was a real thing and would be able to along side his Zelda start preparing the tools, magical items, and preparations the other heroes to come would receive. (Ex: sages medallions, Ocarina of Time, the tons of magical items created for the hero, ect.) I just think this would be a really neat idea and brings so much potential, it would make the whole "you've been in a coma for 7 years, go out while you are mentally still the same age of a kid with limbs too large" thing way less stupid, and the Zelda forcibly time traveling Link back before this whole thing happened 10x more angsty, you would get SS Link and Zelda's guilt at cursing their descendants to an endless cycle of strife, OoT Link's skills with his weapons being unaffected and figuring out how to deal with constant time travel would make so much sense. Just, the possibilities.
