Sakilin is the family between Saki and Tulin from The Legend of Zelda fandom.
Canon[]
Breath of the Wild[]
Saki, Teba, and Tulin have lived very peaceful lives in Rito Village up until Divine Beast Vah Medoh attacked by shooting at any Rito that flew high, forcing to travel on foot or fly lower to avoid its lasers, leaving Teba to deal with it, initially with Harth which did not work out and was about to take it on himself. As Link converses with her and asks about the Champion Revali, she will state that since all the warriors look up to Revali as their hero, they train their sons to become like him, and notes that Teba has been wanting Tulin to become a warrior which he would take him to the Flight Range to do just that, but she disapproves of the idea of Tulin becoming a warrior. When Link visits her after meeting Teba, she rewards him with Bomb Arrows which while Teba encourages her to make use of them, she is giving the arrows to Link since she does not want Tulin to play around with them, considering how dangerous they are when misused. After Vah Medoh is set free, Saki is grateful to Link for his help with Teba, and Saki would rather have them not do any dangerous training there anymore since Rito Village is at peace, though Teba disagrees as he wanted to help Tulin become more experienced by the time he came of age, but she states that he is still a fletchling. Once Teba takes Tulin to the Flight Range, Saki will worry that Tulin will lose his innocence too early as he is a sweet boy.
Tears of the Kingdom[]
As the Upheaval begins, Rito Village falls under a harsh blizzard that threatens the existence of the Rito. Tulin knows that it was not natural than what he was used to, but when his parents tell him that he will need help, Tulin becomes argumentative and insists that he can do it on his own and fears for the fate of Rito Village, but his mood changes when he sees Link again and becomes enthusiastic. As his parents explain the situation with Link, Tulin flies off despite his parents' objections, as they know that Tulin does not understand the concept of working with others, and they ask Link to go after him to make sure he is not getting into trouble. Once Colgera is defeated which ends the blizzard, Link and Tulin return to Rito Village to give them the news and Teba gives Tulin the Great Eagle Bow to commend him for his heroism while Saki is very proud of him.
Fanon[]
Sakilin is a rareship with only four entries in Archive in Our Own so far, fewer than the family ships with Teba and Tulin. However, they do have a sizable number of fan art that depicts them in a mother-son bond and have also have them with other characters as well. Saki has been depicted as a worrywart, though still a loving mother, when it came to Tulin, with as she is not comfortable with the idea of him becoming a warrior, fearing that he might lose his innocence too early which she often states that she often gets into disagreements with Teba regarding Tulin's future which fans do find reasonable since Tulin is only a fletchling. Years later, when Tulin becomes more experienced as a warrior by the time Tears of the Kingdom, Saki is much more comfortable about him being a warrior to a degree, but more apprehensive that he has not understood the value of teamwork when he absolutely needs it, shown in their argument with his headstrong nature towards them with him wanting more independence now that he is older. Tulin does show to love his mother, despite her dotting him from time to time and remains on good terms with her in the end after the tension between them subsides.
