What.

Okay. I need my brain to reboot, so let's start back from the diamond and our resources, because that really didn't seem to get all that much attention.
  • Hatchet (unknown wear)
  • Royal Dagger (said to be unbreakable)
  • Rusty Sword (some wear, should not be relied upon)
  • Boko Shield (Some wear, wooden)
  • Bow (Some wear, currently carried and used by Sheik, unknown arrow supply)
  • Epona (Who we might do well to have Sheik ride for transit, if just because Horseback Archery is a Thing, because it gives her something of a close combat option)
  • 1 Diamond
  • Assorted scraps and valuable parts from defeated enemies(?)
What sorts of things do we feel we need?

I'm thinking... (total expenses in parentheses)
  • A horse for Zelda and possibly one for Ganondorf (2500)
  • A bow for us and possibly Ganondorf, and enough arrows to keep us from running dry. (2850)
  • Spare sword and shield (3050)
  • Winter clothing all around (3230)
  • ~1000 rupees worth of medical supplies, food, etc. (4230)
Mobility, range and close combat, weather, medical, all the basics. Granted, none of that matters until we get somewhere we can buy that, but that would get us baseline-prepared for just about anything and give us some rupees left over.

The Yiga Assassin was probably carrying some handy stuff that it might be nice to be able to use.

If Link and Ganondorf know each other that well, "Your Majesty" is a trap option. Reactions likely either "what do you not remember me, come on, you've been to town a few times, you should know by now" or somehow Zelda reacting to being called by her proper honorific (and blowing her paper-thin disguise cover which she really isn't very good at to begin with).

I'm inclined to vote for something like
[]*Whisper to Sheik* 'play along' "Yep, that's it all right," if just because I'm really fond of the 'fake-relationship becomes real' shtick. But, y'know, the odds of write-ins getting anywhere when there's a couple of options people can low-effort vote on are slim-to-none.

Now, the one about research subject, on the other hand, offers some innuendo opportunities if Ganonbro wants to go that way. It allows for him to play up Sheik's adorkable "I'm doing research" trait. It would also be more likely to allow "Well I found her mostly dead and managed to get her in halfway-decent shape. That's one thing Dalia never tried."

[X] I'm her research subject.

    [X] It's not like there's anything to really keep me here. A diamond might not seem important at first glance, but to me, it's the means to buy another horse, supplies, gear, everything we need to go looking for more shrines. Maybe it's a bit early to say we're friends, but I'd like to think we are. And if you have no complaints? I'd be happy to come along.
    [X] Look, I picked her up out of the river near dead after the Yiga shot her with a poisoned arrow, the morning before yesterday, beyond that we are friends who are going to travel around together looking into these old shrine, now what's with this majesty business, you never told me you were royalty, should I be bowing and scraping now?
    [x] Unfortunately Ganondorf, we are only friends.
 
[JK] Yes, it's exactly what you think.
[JK] I'm her meatshield.
[JK] I'm her first (Friend of course, what else could it be?)

Anyone got any other possibly hilarious things we could say?

[JK] Well, that sort of thing tends to happen when you save a person's life.
[JK] Once I saw her with her shirt off and all the necrotized flesh from three Yiga arrows? Yeah, no, we're just friends.
 
Huh, I guess I was wrong about the redhead with weird hair being Groose. I'm strangely ok with that.

These dorks are so adorable I can't even stand it!

He stands up straight, towering over you and turns, giving you a good look at his face. His skin was dark, and he had sharp facial features with a prominent nose. He wore a beard as wild as his hair, yet trimmed short in comparison. Fierce yellow eyes looked down on you, alight with an intelligence and cunning you would not expect from his wild appearance, a prideful smirk sitting comfortably on his face.

No.

"Sav'otta Link, but you should know better than to play with trash," Ganondorf says, humour clear in his voice.

You nod, sheathing your sword, "Thanks for the help Ganondorf, were you tracking him?"

WHAT.

Alright, didn't see that coming. Are we getting "every triforce user has to unite because there's an enemy that fucking scary"?

[X] Your majesty?

Link doesn't know Ganondorf is supposed to be the Gerudo king.
The fact that her apparently conquering Link would make her the talk of town suggest Link has some interesting history with them. I can't wait.
Nah, Ganondorf was making fun of Link for being a bit thick who wouldn't even realize someone was hitting on him.

I was sorely tempted to have Gerudo raised Link, but I wanted this Link to start off as a blank slate.

Sorta surprised more people aren't teasing Zelda, guess it's just too much of a low hanging fruit. :V

Mission accepted.

Considering this was the last thing said

Sheik however she expected this conversation to go certainly did not expect whatever Ganondorf was talking about. "Wha- no no no nonononono he's not- we aren't... Link tell him!!"
I will respond with

[X] "You mean we aren't? I sort of thought this was our first date."
-[X] Sad face.

This is going to be super awkward in the future isn't it?
Nah.

We just have to get married to Zelda matrilineally before we get back to her village, making us not an outsider but a member of the clan.

It's the perfect plan.
