《The First Champion | BOTW Link x GN!Reader》Home
Advertisement
The curse of smoke and red embers around the room lift and the corruption fades around the control unit. Link walks up to the stone and scanns the Sheikah Slate at last. It glows a bright blue. You sigh a breath of relief and look at Link. Your eyes both meet and you exchange smiles.
You hear footsteps behind you walking down stairs. You turn around and see Lady Urbosa herself.
"I knew you wouldn't let us down. Thanks to your valor and skill, my soul is free, and Naboris is ours once again. Which means that finally... we can complete what we have started years ago. We Gerudo have no tolerance for unfinished business," she declares and places her hand on her hip. You watch the green flames around her reflect and dance in her eyes.
"I've waited so long for the moment to see you finally rush Hyrule Castle. As well as for the moment when I incinerate Ganon into a pile of ash." You suddenly feel an emotion of great loss inside of you. You look down, and Urbosa sees right through you.
"(Y/N), there is no need to look so doubtful. I believe you have had this in you from the moment I saw you. Which reminds me, I wanted to give you a little something. Please accept this gift, which has come to be known as Urbosa's Fury. It will no doubt be of use to you."
She holds out one hand which starts to glow a bright, energetic light. She snaps her fingers and the orb soars towards you, disappearing as it hits your chest.
Crackles of sparks pop around you, your energy reacting to the new power. With a grin, you draw a hand back and swing it forward in a hook, snapping your fingers.
A boom of thunder echoes around the Divine Beast as the fork of lightning summons on your command.
You stare at your hands in awe, feeling a surge of power you never knew.
"You, Link, and the princess... I know you all have suffered much regarding what happened to us champions. But this is how things had to happen," Urbosa says calmly. "No one need carry blame. So please, make it clear so that she understands that... the princess. Tell her to shed any worries. And let her know, I couldn't be more proud of her."
Dancing lights begin to swirl around you and Link.
"You two take good care of the princess. Oh, and also... Take good care of each other," she says with a wink. The yellow light glows blindingly and you and Link disappear into nothing but two globes of light, that rises higher and higher.

The two orbs of yellow light fall upon the Gerudo Town's entrance and you and Link appear in a flash. You feel slightly nauseous at the magic taking effect on you.
You take a deep, refreshing breath to rid the sickness. Link puts his hand on your shoulder. You turn to him and your eyes meet. He smiles softly at you.
"We did it," he says. "Let's meet with Riju and tell her." He begins to walk towards the entrance until you put your arm out to stop him.

"Your clothes," you point out to him. You were already in the Gerudo Vai set.
"Oh right," he scoffs. "You know, you'd think they'd let me in after we save their town and get back their precious heirloom, but nooo," he says saltily as he roughly puts on his clothes. You helplessly laughed beside him. He did have a point.
"Maybe we can talk to them about it," you suggest as you look off into the horizon.
"Doubt it," Link says.
You wait for him to get changed as you eat a mushroom skewer that carried no effects. You feel your strength come back to you slightly. Link walks up to you at your side and you enter the town together.
You ascend the stairs and walk into the throne room, greeted by Riju.
"Oh, you're back!" Riju exclaims. "I'm glad you two are okay. Truly I am." She says with a relieved smile. "Naboris is no longer a threat to the town. I am still worried about the larger threat to Hyrule, but at least my people wont be troubled by Naboris anymore." She looks at you and gives you a friendly smile.
"I want to offer you these as a thanks for your help. I trust you'll accept them. These pieces of equipment are priceless treasures of the Gerudo people. They were once worn by Lady Urbosa. Since Lady Urbosa and you, (Y/N), were friends, it is only right that you have them."
Riju reaches behind her and takes out a beautiful sword, the Scimitar of the Seven, and a glorious shield, the Daybreaker. She presents them to you and you take them with shaking hands. The gold in the Daybreaker was handpicked to ensure a design that is both lightweight and durable. It is said that when Urbosa swung the sword in battle, her movements resembled a beautiful dance. Your eyes cloud slightly with tears as you recall your memory.
She was such a wonderful mother figure to you.
"Thank you," you say breathlessly. You know just where to put these: on the display mounts in Hateno. "I will make sure to take good care of them." You say and wipe your eyes as you strap both of the weapons to your back. You turn to Link and see him smiling. "We will be back," you promise.
"I am looking forward to that day," Riju says. You wave to her as you walk out of her palace.
Before you exit the town, someone catches your eye. You see a Gerudo setting up a sign with a diamond printed in red ink on the cloth. A strand of jeweled decorations strings above the entrance. You walk over to her, interested.
"Sav'aaq," she greets you. "Can I help you?"
"What are you doing?" you ask.
"Well, since Naboris has calmed down, I can finally reopen my jewelry shop. I just need some flint to get the business started," she says. You think for a second and then remember that you have some flint. You forgot about it completely since it doesn't sell for a high price.
"How much flint do you need?" you ask her.

"Maybe ten pieces," she says and straightens the sign. You hold out exactly the amount she says. She blinks at you and then realizes what you are doing. "You are just giving these to me?" she gasps. "Sarqso! I shall make you any piece you want, free of charge!"
You shake your head. "You shouldn't do that. I don't need--"
"Please. I insist!" she says. You slightly sigh as you give in.
"What are my options?" you ask her.
"I can craft you a ruby circlet that carries cold resistance, a sapphire circlet with heat resistance, or topaz earrings with electricity resistance," she lists. You think for a second.
"Sapphire please," you say. She nods and walks into her shop. She goes to the counter and begins working on the jewelry. You watch her with interest, and are slightly surprised by how quickly she finished.
"All done," She says and hands you the jewelry. You take it and stare at the glittering gem.
"Thank you, I hope you get your shop running!" you wave.
"Sav'orq," she says, bidding you a farewell. You look around and see Link at the arrow stand. You walk over to him as you pocket the circlet. He hears you approach and doesn't look up.
"Where are we heading next?" he asks. You think for a second.
"Well, I'd like to go to Hateno for a little, if that's okay with you," you mumble, two which Link nods. "And then we can head for the race in the west. Y'know, continue the trend in going clockwise." At your words, Link grabs the bundles of fire arrows and buys them. You look at him and tilt your head slightly in confusion.
"The west is covered in snow. If we are going to be fighting ice creatures, it will be best to kill them with fire," he explains and hands you the arrows. You take them and appreciate his logic.
You walk through the Gerudo sands and hike into the canyons, grabbing Ginger and Epona at the stable on the way.
You and Link pass through the wonderful green fields of Hyrule. The journey to Hateno took the whole afternoon. The sun hung low in the sky, casting an orange glow against the purple night. You and Link both walk into the house you had bought a while back. The Lightscale Trident still stood on the display, completely safe.
You walk over to the next weapon mount and hang up the Scimitar of the Seven. You walk over to the shield mounts and clip on the Daybreaker. You stand back next to Link and admire the sight. Still six mounts remain empty.
You smile and head up the stairs to the second level to change. You take off your sand boots and tuck them under your bed. When you remove your Gerudo Vai top, you realize that you still had the Sheikah brooch pinned on it.
You unclip the pin from the fabric and look at it sadly. It was all that was left of your friend. He was dead, and... maybe that was a good thing...
You change into your Hylian set and return your Champion garb back to its rightful place on your shoulders. You grab the brooch and wonder if you should still wear it.
The Sheikah Eye is a symbol that wards off evil. Ahgin made the pin for you with this message in mind. To this day, you still appreciate what he did, but you decide to lay that memory to rest. You open the drawer to your bedside table and place it inside before closing it.
"Shall we make some dinner?" Link requests, also now in his regular clothes.
"Okay," you say. "What were you thinking to make?" Link looks at the small kitchen in the house that has never been used.
"I took a picture of the recipe posted on the wall at that canteen," he says as he takes out the Sheikah Slate. You look at the recipe and nod. It requires mushrooms, rice, butter, and salt. You get out some mushrooms and salt, but you have no rice or butter.
"Shoot. Do you have any rice or butter?" You ask Link. He takes out a wrap of butter and a handful of rice. You raise your eyebrows at him. "Where did you get these?"
"The butter was sold at Kakariko and the rice was at Gerudo," he says. You nod your head in understanding. Of course he couldn't resist grabbing them.
"Can I see the recipe again?" you request. He hands you the Sheikah Slate. You take the Slate and walk over to the kitchen with Link following you. You grab a pan in a cabinet and set it on the stove, setting the heat to high. You pour in some oil and fry the mushrooms. Once you can see they are soft, Link helps you pour them into a separate bowl. He reads the recipe and adds the rice into the remaining oil with the mushroom flavor. He stirs it until the rice is all light and golden.
You turn off the heat and add the mushrooms, butter, and salt to taste. You take out two bowls from the cabinet and serve the risotto for you and Link. He takes them to the table as you get out utensils. You sit down across from him and hold up a bite of the food.
"Cheers," you say and eat the bite. The creamy flavor was delicious. "Wow," you say through the bite. You look at Link who is giving you the same amazed expression.
"This is delicious," he says. You nod in agreement.
"You had a great suggestion. Never delete the picture, we should make this again sometime," You say, pointing to the Sheikah Slate with your fork. Link nods in agreement and eats the entire serving, as well as grabbing seconds. Soon the entire pan of the meal is devoured.
You sit back in your chair, satisfied. It feels good to have a break from the battles. Especially when there is food involved.
You clean up the kitchen and sit down on your bed.
Only two more Divine Beasts left.
You lie down and pull the covers over you. Link looks through the Hyrule Compendium on the Sheikah Slate before finally blowing out the candles.
"Goodnight, Link," you say in the dark.
"G'night."

Valkyrie's Shadow
In the wake of the Battle of Katze Plains, the banner of Ainz Ooal Gown flies proudly over the city of E-Rantel. The Sorcerous Kingdom has entered the world’s stage to the clamour of death and devastation; the surrounding nations fearfully prepare even as they reel from its calamitous debut. Within the borders of the newly annexed realm, its Human subjects cower in their homes as the Undead openly walk the streets and stalk the lands. Yet, when a destitute noble finds herself under the auspices of an unlikely benefactor, events are set into motion that will resound over the world for ages to come. A kingdom builder based on the events and setting of Kugane Maruyama’s Overlord. In a fantasy world where beings of matchless power are transmigrated from the arbitrary existence of a game, Valkyrie’s Shadow chronicles the lives of the natives whose reality has been turned upside down by their advent. It is the tale of a nation created by the whims of a supreme sovereign, and his unstoppable servants who each have their own, often twisted, interpretations of their Master’s Will. There is no victory in strength; no miracles wrought from magic that will save them: only the inexorable advance of a new world order where those who secure a place of service within will find themselves turned against the world that they once knew. [Slow buildup. Methodical storytelling with a focus on well-rounded kingdom building and character development.]

Reincarnated As A Benevolent Tyrant
NOTICE: This story is under rewrite. New novel has been published. Search **RE: Tyranny** in Royalroad for the new novel.Link- Re: Tyranny Thank You! ------------------------ "Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory." What a brilliant line, isn't it? James was a boy who had nothing to worry about. A happy family, a nice childhood. What's more to ask? But one day, everything changed. He lost everything in the blink of an eye. The only thing left for him were the memories and dreams of the past. Trying to cope up with the loss, he cut all ties with the outside world and became a shut-in, having no one left to call his own or to rely upon. There was nothing left for him in this world, but still he lived and soon found a purpose in his life, which lead him to create something that could change the world.And on the very day when his dream project was about to come to the light, he lost his life, trying to save a little girl from an unfortunate accident. "Will I ever be remembered...? I wish... someone would." These were the last word James mumbled before his conscious faded into darkness. But his life didn't end there, as he is transmigrated into the body of an arrogant, worthless Duke's son in some unknown land with no memories about who is or any idea about where he is. In an era of political turmoil and civil strife, the Duke's son is forced to prove his worth for inheriting the title. Will he be able to accept the new reality and prove himself by leading this country into a prosperous future? Or will he cease to the pressure of his past and lose everything once more? Disclaimer: This is not a power-fantasy or a 'feel-good' story. If you feel a protagonist should never lack agency (especially in early story) or make compromises because of difficult circumstances, then this fiction is probably not for you. It is a story that delves deep into real world sociological/psychological subjects and explores many topics of gray morality. I wrote it because I like stories that make me think more about the world around us, not to detach myself from reality. Some aspects you can expect based on the tags include:- [Kingdom Building]: political drama, geopolitical/geoeconomic strategy- [Army Building]: massive battles featuring in-depth planning, combined arms, and operational logistics- [Identity Crisis]: someone translated into a whole different world having to rebuild their identity and life aims The story starts off slowly, more like a slice of life than action-adventure, but I guarantee you it will get there. For those who want to skip the slow part, start from Chapter - 35 (Beginning of The End) (The whole Disclaimer section is copied from Aorii as I am too busy writing the complete story.) And yes, just for General Knowledge, James will become OP throughout the story. He is not some legendary guy who will pull out Excalibur & conquer the entire world. Update Schedule - One chapter a day. This novel is also available on Scribble Hub. And again, I humbly thank you for reading it. I hope you stick throughout the journey.
