Midna's Merry Mixup Gift Exchange (2023)
At our quaint community on discord, we've put together a collection of holiday gifts we've exchanged to one another and here they are! They mostly revolve around the Zelink relationship in some way, though some focus on other relationships. Mind the tags and enjoy our little collection brought to you by Hateno Hideout!
If you're looking for a safe and chill place to hang out with some fun fellow artists/writers in the Legend of Zelda community (specifically Zelink), we're on discord! Come find us at Hateno Hideout, DM farore_or_less#4204 for an invite (must be 18+ to join).

Summary
Zelda is nearing her wit's end as she prepares for the coronation in modern Hyrule. Her dearest friend and grandmother has sent her for relaxation therapy to help handle the stress, but it's a delicate balance to find someone to work out the knots in her shoulders without adding the stress of being a princess in the conversation.
This is a gift for the amazing artist Alkturos, who you can find on Tumblr! We've been part of a gift exchange activity on a server in Discord, and at last the big moment has come. I hope you enjoy, Alkie! :D There are several more chapters to come, so I'll be posting them every few days as I get the editing and wrap-up work finished. Love ya!

On the eve of the year's longest night, as Link travels to the Sealed Grounds with presents in hand, he has some conversations that cast light on the relationships in his life...including the one most precious to him.
