Sobs of the Country or whatever

The first order of business had been, of course, to get the Princess safely back to Lookout Landing. Purah had freaked out, demanding both Zelda and Link stay behind and see a physician. Absurd really. At least on Link's part. He had definitely had worse. Granted, that 'worse' resulted in a 100 year coma at the Shrine of Resurrection, but still. The battle with Ganondorf was finally over, he and Zelda were both back with all their limbs attached, and with any luck this would mean peace.

For the rest of this lifetime, anyway.

The second order of business, as soon as they had alleviated Purah's frantic doting enough to get a word in edgewise, was to send a party out to find the sages. The rescue was a success, the searchers actually stumbling upon the searchees halfway down to Ganondorf's hell-pit. With the demon king and his army now gone, the sages had been able to just turn around and casually walk back they way they'd came. The hardest part of it all was getting Mineru and Yunobo back to the surface without breaking the hot air balloon.

After a few days' rest Mineru passed on, everyone swore their allegiance anew to Zelda, and just like that they all went their separate ways. Most of the sages had their own lands to govern, and Tulin needed to go to bird school or whatever. Link insisted he and Zelda head back to their house in Hateno ('At least for a few weeks, Princess. Then we can come back and you and Purah can study whatever you want for however long you want. I think the children miss you,' which was definitely not the right thing to sign in front of everyone. He's now fairly certain a good percentage of the residents at Lookout Landing think they have kids together).

Which brings us to now. The pair riding Link's giant white horse Mayonnaise, saddlebags packed full of provisions, across Hyrule field toward Dueling Peaks.

'Are you comfortable, Princess?' he signs with one hand while the other holds the reins. 'We should be able to make it to the stable tonight. Tomorrow we can set out early and get home before sundown.'
