Summary
"—So…” Daruk coughed. Revali’s sharp gaze snapped over to him. "Turns out he’s the chosen hero of the legends.”
Revali sputtered into a stunned silence.
“Bullshit, that’s impossible!” His feathers rustled as he balked. “He was sent by the Demon King!”
“We know that, but— he has the mark of the goddess on his hand,” Urbosa snapped. “The rest of us saw it. If you don’t believe it, you can see for yourself.”
The Rito didn’t even deign to give the unconscious swordsman a glance.
“Hero or not, we’re not letting him off the hook just like that,” Revali’s voice climbed an octave. “He’s too dangerous— we saw what he’s capable of. We have to kill him while he’s still weakened!”
“We aren’t killing him,” Zelda asserted again. This time, she lifted her eyes. Her voice held a note of cautiousness, but it was still unshakeable.
“If we’re to even hope to defeat the Demon King, we need the hero on our side. We have to take him with us.”
[In which Link was raised as Ganon’s right hand man, but Zelda and the Champions snatch him away.]

You Didn't Ask by dayhaven

Summary
Zelda said he could ask her anything about his past upon learning how little he remembered. He had asked her only a few questions. What was the point of asking when knowing wouldn’t change anything?
“Why didn’t you tell me?” He asked, the words shooting out of his mouth like air deflating from a balloon. He heard how accusatory his voice was, he knew how unfair the question was, but he couldn’t take back the words, no matter how badly he wanted to. Why would she have told him? When would she have told him? What would she have even said? He frowned in distaste at his own coarseness, a bitterness in his mouth that further upset his appetite.
Zelda opened her mouth to defend herself, eyes damp, but no words came out. It hurt to look at her, so he looked away, blinking hard to try to clear his head.
Her voice came softly, quaking and unsteady. “You didn’t ask.”

Summary
Link frowned, unable to face the jolly bard. Kass had known him before he knew himself, passed on to him his own legends until he understood his own myth. If anyone besides Zelda would know, wouldn’t it be him? “You said it was her love for me that awakened her power.” Kass waited for him to continue. “Did I love her back?”
“You clearly cared about her a great deal, Link, probably more than anything else in the kingdom,” Kass said to him quietly.
Link set his jaw. He was afraid of that answer, afraid of what he had known deep down was the truth. “But did I love her back?” He asked, unwilling to accept such a vague answer. He needed the truth. He needed to hear it.
Kass clicked his beak, perhaps impatiently. Link began to tap his foot with his nerves. “Not the way she loved you,” Kass said quietly. “Not then, to my master’s knowledge.”
Link swallowed hard. Anticipating Kass’s answer had not made the words easier for him to hear.
Damn that court poet, Link thought. Oh, how he would have loved to see Link pine helplessly now.
