Hyrule Will NOT Stand For Misrepresentation Of His Brother - Tumblr Posts

Short story I'm posting here cause I feel like it's too short for ao3

The chain had arrived at Hyrule’s era nearly a week ago. They had arrived at the castle and spoken with both Zeldas, who promptly invited them to stay the night. Legend had already settled into his room and had decided to do some exploring around the castle. His first stop was the library, which was one of the largest rooms in the building. He had barely entered when he spotted Hyrule, hunched over a book while scribbling furiously. To his right were five large stacks of books, and to his left was a singular pile that was much smaller than the rest.

"Rule? What are you doing?"

The traveler looked up from his book, his face filled with righteous anger. Legend was startled by the look and worried he had done something wrong. But the look wasn't meant for him.

"Can you believe these books!?" Hyrule shouted, "They're so wrong about everything! Look! Look at this one!" He held up the book he was currently editing and pointed at a sentence. Legend stepped closer to see what the commotion was about.

"This book said your tunic was white!" The traveler exclaimed, "Seriously?! White!?"

Legend stared at the page as if he didn’t understand the gravity of the error.

"It's wrong!" Hyrule said, hoping the veteran would realize how huge the problem was.

But he just shrugged, "It's not a big deal."

The traveler’s mouth gaped open.

"Of course it is! And look! This other book said that you were seventeen during your first quest!"

Legend shrugged again, "It's been centuries, Rule, of course some details have been mixed up."

"That's not an excuse! Aren't you always complaining about bad record keeping?!"

The veteran flushed slightly and rubbed his neck. Normally he would be annoyed by the inaccuracy in historical books, but these were historical books about him.

Honestly, he was too flustered to be upset.

"But don't you worry, Lege," Hyrule continued, "I'm going to fix all the books."

"Rule, you really don't need to-"

"I mean, come on! Some of these are just ridiculous! Look at this one! It says you were extremely tall!"

Legend felt his face heat up.

"And that's enough of that!" He grabbed the book out of Hyrule’s hand and gently tossed it onto the nearest pile.

"You're going to show me around the castle instead."

Hyrule pouted, clearly torn from choosing his love of wandering and his dead set mission.

"Fine," he grumbled, "Let's go. But I will correct the books when I get back."
