Lakna Rokee Quest
Link returns to Kakariko Village where he helps Paya and Impa with a problematic situation. In doing so, he discovers someone's deep dark secret, and learns of his still-living daughter.
Tropes:
- All Love Is Unrequited: Paya is in love with Link, but Link doesn't reciprocate. Paya is fine with this, and Link assures her that she'll find someone to love eventually.
- Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Grandparent, but still. When Link asks how Paya got her name, she admits that she has a papaya seed-shaped birthmark. Impa screams from downstairs that it's smack dab on her left butt cheek, much to Paya's horror.
- Berserk Button: The Yiga are confirmed as this for Link who grows furious just at the mention of the clan's name
- Break the Cutie: Poor Paya goes through the ringer. She had taken care of her family heirloom for years, and then loses it when she finds out the heirloom's secret. Impa also mentions how a lot of people her age joined the Yiga Clan, which likely weighs down on her.
- Breather Episode: After fourteen chapters of violence, dramatic reveals, and traumatic memories, this is a relatively low-stakes chapter with a small local problem that lacks immense tension.
- Canon Immigrant: Fanwork canon example.
God-Created Canon Foreigner Terrako from Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is reintroduced and officially incorporated into this fanfiction of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. - Cerebus Retcon: Link encounters Koko, a little girl who is grieving her mother's death. She reveals that her sister is Cottla, the very same little girl who said she was playing hide-and-seek with her mother. Link realizes what this meant. Cottla was playing hide-and-seek with her dead mother who she will never find.
- Fembot: Averted. Link just decides to refer to Terrako, Cerako, and Argiko as feminine because "It" Is Dehumanizing.
- Half-Human Hybrid: Paya reveals that these exist. Princess Lochlia of the Zora is one example. Her features are noticeably different from other Zora, because she has long legs, a Hylian-like face, and hair instead of a head fin.
- I Just Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Paya is in love with Link, but knowing of Link's relationship with Zelda, decides that she is okay with Link being happy with who makes him happy.
- I Was Quite a Looker: Impa doesn't say it herself, but Paya mentions that people tell her of her grandmother's beauty back in her young days, often saying that she looks just like her grandmother. Link agrees.
- Identical Granddaughter: Paya says people tell her that she looks just like her grandmother when she was Paya's age. Link concurs.
- The Immune: Computer virus variant. Purah upgraded Terrako, Cerako, and Argiko specifically so that they can't be corrupted by Calamity Ganon.
- Important Haircut: Link cuts off his long hair here, making himself look just like he did 100 years earlier, embracing his prior image he had before the Calamity.
- Long-Lived: Paya mentions this about the Zora, who live so long that a century for them is like a couple of decades is for a Hylian.
- No-Nonsense Nemesis: Heroic version against a villain. When Link encounters a Blademaster, he says absolutely nothing, and just kills him in one hit with an ancient arrow.
- Original Character: Terrako is taken straight from Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, but there are also diminutive variants of a Guardian Turret and Skywatcher along with Terrako. Respectively, they are Argiko and Cerako.
- Oblivious to Love: Both Link and Paya. Paya is so much The Ingenue that she didn't even have any clue that she was in love with Link until Impa spells it out for her, and Link didn't even have any idea either.
- Past-Life Memories: Link doesn't just have his predecessor's skills, he can see snapshots into their lives.
- Regretful Traitor: Dorian did not want to betray Impa and his people, but the Yiga Clan murdered his wife and threatened his daughters, Impa, and Paya if he didn't comply with their demands.
- The Reveal:
- The identity of Link's daughter is revealed by Paya. As Link mentions that he has more of a reaction whenever he thinks of Mipha, she realizes that Princess Lochlia of the Zora must be his daughter. She's King Dorephan's granddaughter, meaning that she must be Mipha's child, because she and Prince Sidon are too close in age, and Lochlia is half-Hylian which Paya knows because of Lochlia's features highly unusual for a Zora.
- Dorian is the one who stole Paya's family heirloom. He did so because the Yiga had killed his wife to force him to act as a spy for them after he defected from them.
- Shout-Out: Link claims that life is not about what we deserve, but about what we believe.
- Shown Their Work: The narrative mentions that wolves don't have "packs", but are actually family animals. A male and female wolf and their puppies is what is an actual wolf pack, not the whole alpha or beta wolve setup.
- Tell Me About My Father: Paya mentions that Lochlia would speak to Impa regularly asking about her father. Paya puts it together that it was Link she was talking about.
- Terror Hero: Link becomes this to Dorian when he realizes Dorian was helping the Yiga. He threatens Dorian's life to make him start talking. He relents when he's confident Dorian is not lying.
- You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Link reassures Paya that she is not weak. Being a warrior isn't the same as being strong, and he tells her that she is strong in her own way.
