ATE: Hey, everyone! After spending time playing Breath of the Wild, I wanted to write a story...or two. Not only have I written this story, but I've written another one. Both stories are actually over on AO3, but I soon came to the decision to post them here on this site for others to enjoy. The OC in this story is human (the image used for this story is what I image her to look like, though her hair starts out a shorter than shown).

For now, enjoy A Fishy Situation.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything related to Legend of Zelda or Nintendo. I only own my OC.

Summary: Sophia doesn't know how to swim. Her family knows this. However, that didn't stop her little brother from pushing her into the pool as a prank. Now she finds herself in Zora's Domain.

A Fishy Situation

~*~Chapter 1~*~

She sat in the reclined lawn chair, completely relaxed as she soaked up the sun's rays. Her eyes were shut behind the sunglasses she wore as the sound of her family having fun in the pool reached her ears. She was grateful for her parents' choice of getting a pool constructed in their backyard; she wouldn't have to worry about being dragged to the public pool.

She shrieked when cold water was dumped on her and she ripped off her sunglasses to reveal brown eyes filled with indignation as her gaze fell on the culprit behind the crime. Her younger brother only laughed at her suffering, and she wished (like countless other times) that her gaze could turn him into dust.

"Nate!" She yelled at him.

He continued to laugh as she chased after him, only to come to an abrupt halt at the edge of the pool all while he tainted her from the deep end of the pool. And he knew she couldn't do a thing to him.

Because she didn't know how to swim.

She huffed at this, both due to her inability to get in the water and being unable to get back at Nate for his prank. Nearby she could hear her parents' laughter.

"Lighten up, Sophie. Nate's just having fun." Her mom told her.

"Yeah, Sophie! Lighten up!" Nate taunted.

"Keep going and see where it gets you, brat! I dare you!" She snapped, not even bothering to look in his direction.

"Sophia Marie Fahey!"

Sophia backed down at this, albeit begrudgingly. She knew she was in trouble as soon as the full name was used.

"So Nate dumps water on me, and I'm the one in trouble?" She questioned. "How is that even fair? You just let him get away—"

She was unable to finish when she was suddenly shoved into the pool, and as she flailed her arms in the deep water she spotted Nate standing where she had been just a few seconds ago. Sophia struggled to keep her head above the surface, but she was failing miserably as she started to sink. At first she could hear her parents' frantic voices muffled by the water surrounding her, but then they suddenly disappeared.

She also realized that she had yet to touch the bottom of the pool and began to panic. Against her better judgment Sophia opened her eyes, but instead of seeing the tiled walls of the pool (or feeling her eyes burn) there was a dark abyss surround her on all sides, save for the rays of light that managed to filter through from far above her.

Sophia once again struggled to get to the surface, but all it ended up doing was accidentally shallowing water (that clearly didn't contain a hint of chlorine in it) from being unable to hold her breath any longer, along with tiring herself out. So this was how it ended, being shoved into the pool by her little brother and drowning in deep water. Though how she ended up in a body of fresh water was beyond her.

Before her eyes shut for the last time, Sophia thought she saw a flash of red. But it didn't matter now.

She was as good as dead.

ATE: That's it for the first chapter. Let me know what you think!
