History
Link and Zelda the Sixth came from a long line of prominence, nobility, and heroism. Born two thousand years to the day after Link and Zelda the First, the elder Sheikah (actually, the Second Order of the Sheikah) predestined that the twenty-first generation of the Hero of Time would stem from a pairing between the original line of the Hero and the most ancient branch-line of the Kokiri Tree, the one from which Saria was created.
However, an unwritten rule created my the Great Deku Tree itself forbade Kokiri from interweaving their bloodlines with Hylians. The Great Deku Tree feared that the intermarriages would create a disenchanting effect upon the Kokiri, and thus the magic within them would fade, losing the Kokiri magic from Hyrule. However, confronted with the situation, and knowing the presence of fear in the land, the Great Deku Tree consented and allowed a pairing.
Link the Sixth and Zelda the Sixth were born unto a Hylian father named Ronin and a Kokiri mother named Crystanthia. Ronin was a direct descendant of Link the First's ancestral line and had been an advisor of the King for his remarkable feats in battle. Crystanthia was a Kokiri who had lived the same number of years as Ronin, but whose physical appearance was 10 years younger than him; she had been grown from the Deku Tree from the very same branch Saria had come into the world upon. The Great Deku Tree consented the marriage, but added the restriction that the couple would be forced to live on the outskirts of the Lost Woods; this was so the magic of the Kokiri would still be intact, but Crystanthia would be able to physically mature to her real age.
Ronin and Crystanthia were hesitant at first to the pairing, but Ronin was light at heart, having the spirit of a child, and Crystanthia was one of the more serious Kokiri, and over time, they not only became the best of friends but shared an empathy with each other. Their hesitations gone, they agreed to the wishes of the elder Second Sheikah and were married.
Link and Zelda were born roughly a year later, fraternal twins. They lived in a log cabin on the outskirts of the Woods, as had been dictacted, with their mother and father. The family shared many things together, and Link and Zelda would spend time at Hyrule Castle Town and in the Kokiri Village from time to time, passing the days of their childhood away. They were well known to the nobles in the castle and the children of the forest.
Eight years after their birth, a foreign magical essence floated into the house, and Link and Zelda's parents became fearful. They knew that two fragments of the Triforce had come to their children; Link had inherited the Triforce of Courage and Zelda had been granted the Triforce of Wisdom. All was as the Second Sheikah had said Destiny would unfold. Ronin explained all this to his children, and told them about the evil man who was building his power to the south of Hyrule. A man by the name of Thananos, a descendant of Ganondorf, had uncovered the Triforce and had received the Triforce of Power. Thananos was not Gerudo, which had been scattered throughout the world over time, but of a race rarely visited by the Hylians -- the Urakai. The Urakai were a race that practiced magic that had been supposedly, according to the Book of Mudora, forbidden to the inhabitants of Hyrule. Thananos had building his forces, declaring it in the name of self-defense, but secretly in the name of war.
The family lived somewhat in fear for the next two years, unsure of what destruction would happen if Thananos were to come. Then, in the year 2010 L.R. (Linkian Reckoning), Thananos came to Hyrule and struck. Thananos was very clever, and thus didn't strike Hyrule Castle, but instead he headed for the Lost Woods.
Link had been taken to the Lost Woods early that morning to stay while Ronin went to the castle on business. Zelda had stayed home with his mother. Ronin never was able to emerge from the woods before being ambushed. Thananos' men came to the house and captured Crystanthia. Both Ronin and Crystanthia were murdered at the spot. They entered the house to find Link and Zelda, but only Zelda could be found, and she appeared to have already been dead, as if she had died from natural causes hours before, when she had in fact took a potion to feign death, all the while regaining consciousness. While there, she managed to draw the Triforce of Power out of the hands of Thananos, a technique that had been used against Link the Fifth in the legendary Golden War. After they left, she remained in a motionless state, her soul between death and life.
Link, wondering why his father never returned to take him home, left to go home the next day. However, instead of finding his family as he had expected, he found two gaunt warriors, their skin wrinkled tightly around their bodies, their clothes being the ripped garments of his parents. Knowing them to be Redeads, Link snuck into the house via the back entrance and found Zelda’s body, which he mistook for being dead. He noticed the two Triforces within her, and, in a spirit to avenge her death, took them. Though he had acquired the three Triforces, he knew from the lessons his father had taught him, that he still did not own the Triforce, as the original possessor of the Triforce still lived.
Link’s mind, though bent on vengeance, was still quite fearful that Thananos would find him and hunt him down. He quickly hurried to the Kokiri Forest, where they provided some protection from him for several days. However, the Great Deku Tree sensed an impending danger to Link if he were to stay, so the Tree taught Link how to go travel the planes of the world. The Tree advised Link to keep on the move, not remaining in any singular place for any length of time, as Thananos and the Urakai also knew how to traverse the dimensions of the world.
Link left the plane of Hyrule and traveled from place to place, learning what he could. Being only ten years of age, he tried his hand at swordsmanship, archery, and the various schools of magic, mastering all of them as he apprenticed for brief periods of time under each master he came across. As a result, Link became quite diverse in his skill, combining skills from many sources and creating a fighting style and magic system all his own. Having both the blood of the Hylians and the Kokiri within him, his talents were unique in their own merit, and though he could not use the magic of the Triforce directly, as it would shine a beacon to Thananos as a lighthouse’s lamp illuminates the coast, the magic of the Triforce was reshaped into his own texture, creating powerful spells and enhancing his own proficiencies in the art of weaponry.
Zelda the Sixth, meanwhile, became released from her deathlike slumber and set off for Link. Finding the Great Deku Tree, it too taught Zelda how to travel the dimensions. Though it advised Zelda the same as it did to Link, her movement patterns need not be as cautious as Link’s, as she was thought dead. She continually followed the magical trail Link left behind, the magic only she could feel because of their fraternal twin background. Along the way, she became quite skilled in the arts of healing and elemental magic, as her mind was much more relaxed than her brother’s. Though Zelda’s magic never became as diverse or as unique as Link’s, the skills she possessed became more powerful than Link’s and much more focused.
After ten years, Link, now 20 years of age, returned to his native Hyrule to see the changes. Remarkably, not much had changed, as apparently all of Thananos’ forces left Hyrule to search for Link, leaving Hyrule to a period of prolonged peace. It was here that Link regained many of his childhood friends, the closest one being Phalon, the daughter of Bralon, the owner of Lon Lon Ranch. He also made several new friends that were not native to his Hyrule, but were merely visiting. Among the closest were Meredia, child of the seas and skies, Fury, an incredibly agile warrior, Joker, a vampire fighting for good, Halan, a Sheikah from a parallel Hyrule, and several others.
The King, upon hearing of Link’s return, summoned for him to Hyrule Castle. Link came before the King, and the King announced to him, seeing that he had no heir and Link’s family had been held in the highest regard and honor in the eyes of the King, that the King would adopt Link in to become the Prince of Hyrule. Link stayed in Hyrule for several months, honing his skills and his education, enjoying a quieter life, but fearing the return of his nemesis.
One day, he received an invitation from Fury to fight within a war in his realm. Link, refusing to turn up his friend, went to Fury and fought for his side. Ironically, almost as if Destiny herself willed it, Zelda had received an identical invitation, and Link and Zelda found themselves fighting together on the same side, fighting together with each other. For the first time in both their lives since the tragic event, they were able to attain happiness.
However, the happiness was short-lived. During the battle, Link accidentally shot off some of his magic from the Triforce. In mere seconds, Thananos appeared before him, beckoning for a fight. Link and Zelda used the powers they had learned from the planes and seriously weakened Thananos. However, in a sacrificial move, Thananos sacrificed his own body and his ownership of the Triforce to mortally wound Zelda, a would that would never have been able to be healed by the most advanced medicine.
Link refusing to let his sister die again before him, completed a sacred ritual, one not oft performed. He placed his arms around Zelda, and he slowly took her spirit from her body into his own. Link and Zelda, though two spirits, shared the same body. The magic from the ritual sealed them together for all eternity, and their souls were further entwined to each other. With this, Link gained the ability to alternate back and forth between the body of himself and the body of Zelda. Though both spirits coexist within the same body, only the dominant mind having control of the appropriate form of their single body.
Together they now mainly reside in Hyrule within the castle. The King gave Zelda the honor of Princess of Hyrule, but both remain unmarried to this day, both unsure of the consequences that would result in a coupling with another being. However, they remain relatively unconcerned, as the controlled magic in the Hylian blood fused with the life-giving blood of the Kokiri will enable them to live for numerous decades on end.
