Author's Note: It's Ivee's birthday, and Purah has a very special gift for her. It's finally time for every one to meet Link's 'brother'. Rinku is Link's Japanese name. Thought I might as well use it.
Chapter 16: Rinku
Purah was humming to herself while she made her way down to Link’s house. For the last five days, she’d been coming over every day to see how Junior’s health was progressing. The boy had had a difficult start, but he was bravely powering through. His father’s son.
She found Amira in front of the house, cleaning out diapers. “Now, I’m glad you’re helping them, but you shouldn’t be spoiling them too much,” she said. “Make sure you leave them some work too.”
“Hey, Purah. Oh, believe me, Ivee has also done her share of diaper cleaning this week. But today is her birthday, so she doesn’t have to clean diapers on her birthday.”
“Ah yes. That’s what I’m here for. I have a present for her.”
“Oh, well in that case, I’m coming with you, I want to see what it is. Those diapers can wait.” She rinsed her hands in the little pond behind the house and wiped them on her apron, joining Purah towards the house.
“Is Azu inside? He’s been here almost every day now to admire his new niece and nephew, hasn’t he?” Purah said during the short trip.
“Oh, he has been, but he fled when he saw the dirty diapers,” Amira smirked. “Probably afraid he had to help with them. I’m sure he’s with his friends now.”
When they walked in, they found Link and Ivee sitting at the table, constructing a contraption to transport the babies when they’d want to go out for a walk. They were so caught up in their bickering that they hadn’t even noticed that Purah was there too.
“You’re doing it wrong,” Ivee said, pointing with her needle. “You have to...”
“Yes, I know I’m doing it wrong,” Link said. “I was just about to fix it. You do the sewing, I’ll do the weaving, okay?”
“Ah, constructing a travois, I see,” Purah smiled. “Glad to see you’re making yourself useful, even though it’s your birthday.” She blinked her eyes shut by way of telling her she was proud of them when they looked up. “Have you thought of using a sling, though?”
“Too lazy,” Ivee flatly admitted. “Especially since there are two. If it would’ve only been one, I might’ve considered using a sling, but with two, it just seems too difficult. It’s alright, though. Boy will be happy to pull the travois, won’t you Boy?”
Boy lifted his head from where he was lying next to the cradle against the wall, barking softly and wagging his tail.
“Just don’t go chasing wildlife when you have them behind you, though,” Link said.
“Lovely,” Purah said, giving Ivee a kiss on the cheek. “Happy birthday, Ivee”
“Thanks, Purah!”
“So how are you?”
“Great! Everything’s healing well. Those fairies are a lifesaver!”
“How are the babies?” She traipsed over to the cradle to look inside. “Have you been giving fairies to Junior too?”
Ivee put her sewing work down and came standing next to her. “Yes, one in the morning and one at night, like you said.”
“Very good. Oh, he seems to be doing alright. Looks a lot stronger. Breathing okay now. Nothing to worry about.”
“Great.” With a warm smile, Ivee rubbed her sleeping babies over their heads. “You’re still too early for the party, though.”
“Yes yes, I know, but I just couldn’t wait to get you your present. Now, hold out your hand.”
At the sound of ‘present’, everyone gathered round. Purah saying how she couldn’t wait to give it to her had created expectations. It must’ve been something very special. When Ivee opened the sachet Purah had given her, the contents were a bit…
Disappointing?
Confusing?
“It’s hair,” Ivee concluded, holding up the lock of hair, neatly tied together with a ribbon.
Purah chortled with contained glee. “It’s not just hair. That, my dear, is hair frommm...”
Ivee took a closer look at the hair. It looked exactly like Link’s hair. She gasped and hopefully folded her hands in front of her mouth. “Is the duplication rune ready?”
“Yes,” Purah sighed, as if it had taken her and Symin great pains to have accomplished it. “We had to consult with Robbie. We had to use various samples of Link’s body.”
Link blushed at this, remembering how he’d had to ‘donate’ his semen in a jar.
“But at last, I can say that the duplication rune. Is. Ready.”
Ivee jumped on the spot, letting out a little cry of joy. “So, when can we see the new Link?”
“Right away, if you want. He’s waiting at the lab with Symin.”
“Mum, can you...”
“Yes, of course, I’ll stay with the babies.”
“Link, you go get the princess, we’ll meet in front of the lab,” Purah said, sharing their excitement.
During their ascend of the hill, Purah and Ivee were talking about the birth. “Well, it went incredibly smooth, didn’t it,” Purah found.
“It did?”
“Definitely, you were very lucky. When your mum gave birth to you, it took 10 hours. And that’s minus the contractions.”
Ivee blew out a sigh. “Oh wow! Poor mum.” Then, after a short silence, she said: “I’m so excited about this second Link. You couldn’t have got me a better present. And Link too.”
“And the princess,” Purah added with a mischievous wink.
Ivee laughed.“Definitely! So, how will we know the difference?”
“Well, your Link has his wedding ring, of course. And also, I don’t think we’ll be seeing this other Link very often, anyway. He’ll either be with Zelda or travelling up and down the Kingdom, hunting down Korok seeds or something.”
“Hm, yeah, you’re right.”
“You know, something funny happened when I was explaining Link how to use the willysleeves. He’s told you about those, hasn’t he?”
“Indeed, he has. Sounds awesome, I can’t wait to try it!” Ivee enthused. “But what has happened, though?”
“Well, I asked if he had a mighty banana, so I could demonstrate how to use it. And, out of nowhere, he asks me if I’m seeing someone.”
Ivee thought for a moment, and then gasped. “That’s my fault!”
“How can that be your fault?”
“You see, way in the earlier stages of my pregnancy, my mum said to me, that if I don’t feel like having sex while I’m pregnant, I have to find other ways to satisfy him. So I wanted to have some bananas. To practise.”
“Practi-- Ooohhh! That kind of practise!”
“Yeah. He probably thought you wanted to ‘practise’ too. Oh no! The way you look, that just seems so wrong!”
“It does! Even though I’m much older, it really does seem wrong!”
They reached the top of the hill in fits of laughter. There was a flash of blue light, just when they arrived. Ivee felt her eye twitching when she saw Link and Zelda landing on the fast travel spot. Not for the first time, she was happy that Zelda would get to have her own Link. She looked a little too comfortable in his arms.
Zelda graciously straightened her dress when Link put her down on the grass. “Thank you, Link,” she smiled at him, but his eyes were already on the mother of his children. It made her desire to meet the new Link flare up even more. Because this duplication rune wouldn’t only be for Link and Ivee’s benefit. Getting intimate with Link would be a dream come true. Back in the days, there was nothing more that she wanted. Because, you know, falling in love with someone like Link was very easy, and also very irrevocable and unforgiving. It just happened. Older women wanted to mother him. Young maidens just wanted him. He had the kind of face that made you want to touch it, caress it, kiss it… just eat it all up.
The kind of body too.
And it would torment you during the day, and even more so during the night.
Very much so, during the night.
But there was no time for romance then. They needed to stand up to Calamity Ganon. Sighing to herself, she hoped that this new Link would smell the same way, and would feel just as warm.
With every one there, Purah gestured with her arms to all gather in front of the door. Opening the door just a crack, she beckoned inside for Symin to reveal the fruits of their labour. The door opened fully. Every one seemed to hold his or her breath. Ivee clasped at Link’s arm, and Zelda took the liberty to grab Link’s other arm. All three of them were bound together in the same wish, that the second Link would be exactly that: a second Link. No more, no less. It was probably the first time that Ivee and Zelda were so emotionally connected.
A collective gasp went through the group when the duplicate version of Link stepped outside, blinking and shielding his eyes with his hand when the sun fell on his face. He looked exactly the same like the real Link. Zelda in particular looked very happy about that.
“How extraordinary,” she breathed, her eyes lighting up. She stepped forward, cupping his face with her hands, so she could look into his eyes. They sparkled and shone, curious to discover the world. From his face, she let her hands run down over his arms, then back up to his chest. She could feel his heartbeat, the tension in his muscles, his body heat through his clothes. He was an actual, real person. “Hello, Link. Nice to meet you,” Zelda said, with an impressed exhale. His only response was a polite nod with the head.
Ivee permitted herself to stick her nose in between them. It was a clone of her husband, after all. “Weird. It appears that this one doesn’t talk.”
Symin, who had come out right after Link, pursed his lips and clasped his hands together. “Indeed, that is his only flaw. His only flaw,” he assured Zelda.
Zelda nodded and looked back to her Link. “Can you produce sounds?”
“Hmm,” duplicate Link nodded.
“Do you mind that he doesn’t talk?” Symin said.
“No, not really.”
“Hm, you’re quite right. A man who doesn’t talk back might be ideal,” Purah smirked.
“Maybe we can teach him how to talk, though,” Ivee said. She grabbed both his shoulders and turned him towards her, so she was standing directly in front of him. “Your name is Link. Can you say that? Link,” she repeated pointedly.
“R...”
“Liiinnnk”
“Ri...nku.”
“Close enough.”
“Rinku,” Purah said, pleased when he looked her way. “Well, might as well call him Rinku, then. Rinku, meet Princess Zelda. You will be working for her.”
When Rinku heard she was a princess, he kneeled for her at once.
“Oh look, he knows his place already.”
“Purah, please” Zelda laughed softly. “Rinku, get up, you don’t have to kneel. If you’re any bit as talented as the original Link, then we’re practically on equal terms.”
Purah had her notepad out and was writing in it with great dedication. “I thought about letting him sleep in the Shrine of Resurrection. Whenever he’s needed, he can get warped away from there, and afterwards, return there.”
“Absolutely not!” Zelda said decidedly. “He shall live in the castle with me. It will be a lot more comfy if he can sleep in a bed.” Ultimately, her bed, hopefully. That was her intention, anyway.
“Excellent idea!” Purah shouted, sticking her pencil up in the air. “Why haven’t I thought of that? I shall program in the Sheikah Slate for him to be returned to the castle. Link?” She turned to the real Link now. “If you want, I can also make Boy and Epona unavailable to him, so they will stay with you. Although, as he will need a way of travelling, he will then get your Master Cycle Zero. Unless you’d rather have him to have Epona, so you can keep the motorcycle.”
“No, Epona, of course.”
“Okay, consider it done. Now, once you give him your Sheikah Slate, it will be the end of you getting warped away.” In the background, Ivee tried to suppress a squeal, bouncing happily.
“I’m sorry to force this upon you,” Link said to his doppelgänger. “But I assure you, you will see great things, discover great sceneries. And above all, I’m sure that princess Zelda will take excellent care of you.” Rinku looked at Zelda, and when their eyes connected, he was sure that he could feel electricity sparking. He reached out his hands for Link to give him the Sheikah Slate, eager to embark upon this adventure.
Link took the Sheikah Slate from his hip and looked at it. At the end of it all, he still seemed to have trouble parting with it. “I… won’t be able to fast travel any more?” he said to Purah.
“No, you won’t,” Purah agreed. “I’m afraid you’ll have to travel the conventional way.”
“It’s just that, for our honeymoon, we were planning to visit all the Goddess statues across the Kingdom. Without the possibility to fast travel, this will take a very long time.”
“Well, you giving your Sheikah Slate to him isn’t irrevocable. You can always ask it back from him. Besides, after this, I ought to make a couple of new Sheikah Slates, anyway. You can’t raise a successor if they don’t know how to use Cryos and Stasis and the like. These new Sheikah Slates will also have a fast travel option. Just bear in mind though that, if you were to use your old Sheikah Slate, when you’re at the other side of the Kingdom, and you get warped away, Ivee would be stuck there too.”
Ivee shrugged her shoulders, seemingly not too worried about that. “Guess I could make friends with the local folks and fix myself a meal and place to sleep there, though. I’m quite adventurous.”
“Hm…” Link hummed. “Okay, we shall see.”
“You should also have the pictures from the Sheikah Slate developed,” Ivee pointed out. “All those nice pics from the wedding, and the birth of the twins. I’d like to have them.” Then there were also those that were meant for their eyes only.
“Oh, I can do that too!” Purah offered.
“Great!”
“I’ll do it right away, if you want.”
“So, if Rinku will help Princess Zelda in restoring Hyrule to its former glory, does that mean I can stay home all the time?” Link said, still with the Sheikah Slate in his hand.
“Yes. You can just concentrate on raising an excellent successor.”
“Well, that and catching a few boars every now and then, maybe,” Ivee said.
“Guess I can catch a few boars.”
“Yes. And it’s better than cleaning out diapers.”
“Ivee, if I won’t get summoned any longer, I’m willing to clean out diapers any time.”
“Are you sure you won’t regret having said that?”
“No, I mean it. If I have to choose between cleaning out diapers or drowning in lava, then it’s an easy choice.”
At the mention of lava, Rinku’s face turned a bit horrified.
“Don’t worry,” Link said. “You ought to be wearing protective gear. It’s not as bad as it sounds.” While he was talking, Purah plucked the Sheikah Slate from his hand, and Ivee quickly trotted behind her to inform her that not all of the pictures were from the wedding and the babies. Laughing, Purah pretended not to hear, and they both disappeared inside.
In the mean time, Rinku had spotted the ring on Link’s ring finger, and he gestured towards it. Link held out his hand. “That’s a wedding ring. Me and Ivee are married. If you want one too, you’ll have to marry princess Zelda.”
“Link, don’t tease,” Zelda said, in vain trying to hide the embarrassment in her voice.
“I’m not teasing,” Link said. “You will need a successor too, right?”
She looked at her own Rinku. On his face, there was no trace of embarrassment. Only complete and utter devotion to her, right from the very start. She felt her mouth curling up in a smile. “I suppose you’re right, yes.” They would have gorgeous kids. “So, how are the babies?”
“Excellent! Although I gotta say, Linkle seems to have a bit more gumption. We were worried about Junior’s health at first, but he’s doing a lot better now, a lot better.”
“That’s a relief.”
Sooner than expected, Purah and Ivee emerged back from the lab.
“Are the pictures done already?” Link said
“We have to wait a bit while they develop,” Purah replied. “Now, if there’s nothing else you still want from your Sheikah Slate, then we can give it to Rinku.”
Link raised his fingers to his chin and looked up in thought. “Epona, Boy, pictures… I think that’s about it.”
“Oh, but then we won’t be able to use the Barbarian Armour any more, too!” Ivee suddenly realised.
“Honestly, I don’t feel so bad about that,” Link said. “Those horns were a hazard. And if you want body paint, then I can apply body paint any time.”
“Hm, okay. Guess I can sew you some tiny shorts too,” Ivee said with a rather lewd grin, rubbing herself up against Link’s side.
“Well, what will it be, children?” Purah smirked, holding the Sheikah Slate up in the air.
“I think we’ve waited long enough for this moment,” Ivee decidedly said, gesturing her hand from the Sheikah Slate to Rinku. “As the Sheikah Slate and Rinku are both your creations, you may do the honour.”
And with that, Purah handed the Sheikah Slate to Rinku. Ivee could almost physically feel a weight being lifted from her chest. All the stress and angst about not knowing when Link might get summoned and him being gone for days, at last, it would all come to an end. With a big, liberating sigh of relief, she wrapped her arms around Link and hugged him close. “Finally,” she whispered, but just as quick she pulled away from him again, as she apparently felt the need to shout out her joy to the Heavens. “Finally!” she screamed, raising both her fists to the sky. It was followed by a little dance. “Sorry,” she said, when she realised that every one was looking at her. “It’s my birthday, I can do whatever I want today.”
“Oh, is it your birthday? Happy birthday then,” Zelda smiled.
“Thanks. Oh, right,” she continued to Link, “now that the princess is here, how about we...”
“Yeah, I suppose we could.”
Witnessing this short conversation, Zelda was a bit envious about how they could read each other’s thoughts like that.
“If you want, you could join us for my birthday party tonight,” Ivee said. “I mean, it will just be a peasant gathering, much more low key than last year, because last year was my 18th birthday. A grand feast would be too much work now, anyway, with the babies. But there will be plenty of food and drinks, so...”
Zelda turned to Rinku. “Would you feel like going, Rinku? You could meet Ivee’s parents and see the babies.”
Rinku thought for a moment, then nodded his head.
“Okay, that’s settled then,” Zelda said.
“Oh, how exciting, my parents will be thrille-- Where’s Purah?” Ivee wildly looked around. Purah must’ve gone back into the lab, Ivee concluded. The pictures! “That cunning little...” She hurried into the direction of the lab, and this time, Link followed her. Some of the pictures were really private!
The moment Ivee had burst into the lab, they could hear Purah guffawing from inside. Symin shook his head and sighed. “You know, sometimes, I think that this age-reversing rune has made her look like her inner age.”
When Link had reached the door, Purah just stepped outside with a stack of pictures in her hands, followed by a complaining Ivee.
“Did you… watch the pictures?” Link asked, feeling a bit awkward about it.
“I saw nothing, honey,” Purah giggled.
